Abstract: A two-way voice communication device which provides a high-level of acoustic noise reduction is disclosed. A resilient ear tip provides acoustic isolation and secures the earphone within the ear canal of the user. The ability to rotate the earphone within the ear canal allows the user to easily position an attached microphone. The audio signals may be conveyed by an included radio frequency receiver and radio frequency transmitter, or the earphone may be connected to an electrical audio device using a multi-conductor cable. Audio signals may be conveyed to one or both ears of a user. A switch to mute the audio signal from the microphone, or for supporting a push-to-talk mode of operation, may be included in the earphone housing, or on the cable.

Abstract: A headset has one or two earpieces, an adjustable microphone boom, and a means for securing the headset to the user. The earpiece includes a speaker element for generating sound and a sound funneling device for funneling sound from the speaker element to an ear canal of the user. The sound funneling device rests within a concha and at the entrance of the ear canal for funneling sound and for stabilizing the earpiece against an ear of the user. In the preferred embodiment, the sound funneling device includes a first end which is open-ended and facing the speaker element, and a second end which includes one or more apertures and rests at the entrance of the ear canal. The first end has a circumference which is larger than a circumference of the second end which focuses the sound from the speaker element to the ear canal. A speaker cushion is configured to fit around the speaker element and the sound funneling device and preferably provides a means for coupling the speaker element to the sound funneling device. The speaker cushion is compressible to facilitate positioning the second end of the sound funneling device against the concha of the user's ear. A small speaker is mounted inside the speaker element. The headset is preferably secured to the user by a headband. The earpiece is coupled to the headband by a ball and socket joint integrally formed as part of the earpiece. The ball and socket design enables the earpiece to be easily maneuvered against the ear.

Abstract: An earphone for use with portable communication devices (PCDs), particularly cellular phones, where the electro-magnetic (EM) radiation of the device is distanced from the head of the user, while acoustic waves are collected and brought through an acoustic tube to the ear of the user. The earphone may employ a coupler where the coupler contains a microphone and speaker acoustically insulated from each other. The coupler is positioned distant from both the ear of the user and the PCD. The coupler delivers acoustic waves to an acoustic tube for transmittal to the ear.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication headset comprising an earpiece housing and a boom having at least two independent pivot points. The boom of the present invention includes a first end, a second end and a universal joint disposed between the first and second ends. The first end of the boom is pivotally attached to a portion of the earpiece housing such that the boom is rotatably adjustable in a plane parallel to a user's ear allowing a user to adjust the microphone disposed at the second end of the boom in a position relative to the user's mouth. The universal joint disposed between the first and second ends of the boom provides the user with a second pivot point such that the user can adjust the second end of the boom to at least one of a plurality of positions independent of the first end of the boom attached to the earpiece housing. The user is allowed to optimize the position of the microphone disposed at the second end of the boom by using only one hand allowing a user to use a second or free hand to perform some other desired or necessary activity.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a retainer in the form of a removable compliant polymer sheath. The present invention further teaches a wireless headset reduced in size to an earpiece, in which the comfort and sanitation of the user and the life span of the device may in increased by providing a replaceable compliant polymer sheath for the sound tube which is inserted into the ear canal: friction between the ear canal and the sheath retains the wireless headset in the ear canal. In alternative embodiments, the sheath and ear canal may mechanically cooperate to retain the wireless headset in the ear canal. The sheath may be easily removed and replaced so as to adapt the length and diameter of the device for the needs and comfort of different users. In addition, the replaceable polymer sheath allows safe and sanitary use of one wireless device by more than one user. In addition, polymers are notorious for becoming oxidized and then hard and brittle, however the device of the invention need not be refurbished for this reason since the compliant polymer sheath may be easily removed and replaced whenever required.

Abstract: Communication unit comprising a housing in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm is suspended. The housing also has means, such as an ear hook, for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm is pivotally connected to the housing by a hinge link, and at an outer area of the housing, so that the microphone arm can be moved between a first position in which it lies up against the housing, and a second position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook (6) can be suspended in two different positions, corresponding to the communication unit being worn on the right or the left ear, respectively.
