Abstract: An audio system that may be used in multiple modes or use scenarios, while still providing a user with a desirable level of audio quality and comfort. The inventive system may include multiple components or elements, with the components or elements capable of being used in different configurations depending upon the mode of use. The different configurations provide an optimized user audio experience for multiple modes of use without requiring a user to carry multiple devices or sacrifice the audio quality or features desired for a particular situation. The inventive audio system includes a use mode detection element that enables the system to detect the mode of use, and in response, to be automatically configured for optimal performance for a specific use scenario. This may include, for example, the use of one or more audio processing elements that perform signal processing on the audio signals to implement a variety of desired functions (e.g., noise reduction, echo cancellation, etc.).

Abstract: An earphone folding device and assembly thereof is provided, and includes a first head strap, a second head strap, a connecting base, a pivoting shaft, an elastic member and a button. When the elastic member is in a status of release, the elastic member is abutted against the button, so that the engaging portion is fastened with the engaging block, and the first head strap and the second head strap are positioned in a coaxial position. When the pressing portion is pressed, the elastic member is in a status of compression, so that the engaging portion is detached from the engaging block, and the second head strap is rotated about the pivoting shaft so that the first head strap and the second head strap are positioned in a parallel position.

Abstract: System and methods can provide both hearing enhancement and hearing protection. An audiogram can be determined for either an individual person or a group of people. A frequency spectrum of an environment can be determined for an environment within which hearing enhancement and/or hearing protection is needed. The audiogram and the frequency spectrum of the environment can be used to modify an electronic signal to attenuate noise and to amplify information. The information can be voice, sirens, bells, or anything else that the user desires to hear.

Abstract: An earphone microphone includes a single speaker, a microphone having first and second sound input holes, and a main body casing in which an acoustic space is formed. The acoustic space includes a sound output path in which output sound propagates, a first sound input path communicating with outside, in which sound to be input to the first sound input hole propagates, and a second sound input path in which sound to be input to the second sound input hole propagates. The sound output path branches into one path communicating with outside of the main body casing and the other path communicating with the second sound input path. Input sound from a sound source outside the main body casing is input while input of output sound is suppressed by acoustic resistance of the acoustic space.

Abstract: An acoustic space including a sound output path, first and second sound input paths is formed in a main body casing of an earphone microphone. Output sound from a speaker propagates in the sound output path. Sound input to a first microphone propagates in the first sound input path communicating with outside. Sound input to a second microphone propagates in the second sound input path. The sound output path branches into one path communicating with the outside of the main body casing and the other path communicating with the second sound input path. The earphone microphone amplifies a sound signal output from at least one of the first and second microphones so as to input sound from a sound source outside the main body casing, and suppresses input of the output sound.

Abstract: An earphone microphone includes a main body housing, a differential microphone, and a speaker. The main body housing defines first and second acoustic spaces therewithin. The main body housing has a first opening that communicates the first acoustic space with an outside of the main body housing and a second opening that communicates the second acoustic space with the outside of the main body housing. The second acoustic space forms a Helmholtz resonator relative to sound propagating through the second opening. The differential microphone has first and second sound collection holes. The first and second sound collection holes communicate with the first and second acoustic spaces, respectively. The speaker is disposed in the second acoustic space.

Abstract: An adjustable headset has a support portion that rests on a user's head when the headset is worn in an upright orientation and rests on a user's neck or shoulders when the headset is worn around the user's neck. The adjustable headset also includes a pair of arm assemblies attached to the support portion and having first arm portions and second arm portions. The adjustable headset also includes a pivoting mechanism that pivotably couples the first and second arm portions. The pivoting mechanism allows the pivoting of the second arm portion relative to the first arm portion so that the second arm portion can be pivoted between a first position where the headset can be worn by the user on their head and a second position when the headset is worn around the user's neck to direct sound at the user's ears.
