    Abstract: Intra-concha earphones are disclosed. In an embodiment, an intra-concha earphone includes a housing having a rear space divided into a back volume, a bass duct, and a vent chamber between a driver and a rear wall. The vent chamber may be acoustically coupled with the back volume through both an acoustic port and the bass duct. Furthermore, the vent chamber may be acoustically coupled with a surrounding environment through a vent port, which may be a sole acoustic opening in the rear wall. Thus, sound emitted by the driver may propagate through the acoustic port and the bass duct to meet in the vent chamber before being discharged through the vent port to the surrounding environment. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: A personal listening system has an active noise control (ANC) controller that produces an anti-noise signal. A head worn audio device for a user has a speaker to convert the anti-noise signal into anti-noise, an error microphone, and a reference microphone. The controller uses signals from the error and reference microphones to produce the anti-noise signal in accordance with an adaptive filter algorithm that has an adjustable parameter which changes so as to move the point at which acoustic cancellation occurs from the error microphone and closer to the user's eardrum. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: A speaker assembly membrane including a sound radiating surface (SRS) having a first material; a substantially planar SRS ring positioned concentrically outward from the SRS and having a second material; and a suspension member positioned concentrically outward from the SRS ring and having a third material. The second material is stiffer than the first material and the third material to locally stiffen an area surrounding the SRS and improve a breaking mode frequency of the membrane. In another embodiment, the speaker assembly membrane may include a diaphragm having a first material density; a substantially planar stiffening ring extending radially outward from an outer edge of the diaphragm and having a second material density; and a suspension member extending radially outward from an outer edge of the stiffening ring and having a third material density. The second material density is greater than the first material density and the third material density.

    Abstract: An in-ear earphone housing has a speaker driver installed therein. The driver has a diaphragm with a front face and a rear face, and a motor to vibrate the diaphragm in accordance with an audio signal. A back volume chamber is positioned behind the driver within the earphone housing. The diaphragm is part of a wall of the back volume chamber. An acoustic mass loading membrane that is part of a wall of the back volume chamber, and that is to vibrate in response to acoustic waves produced by vibration of the diaphragm impinging on a front face of the membrane, is provided.
