    Abstract: An earbud tip for an in-ear headphone can include an outer body; an inner tube extending at least partially within the outer body, the tube having opposing first and second ends and first and second openings at the opposing first and second ends, respectively, the first opening configured to emit audio signals provided by a speaker of an in-ear headphone into a user's ear canal during operation of the in-ear headphone and when the earbud tip seals the user's ear canal and the second opening configured to be removably coupled to a portion of the in-ear headphone; and one or more channels extending from an outer periphery of the earbud tip to the inner tube.

    Abstract: An acoustic enclosure includes a housing at least partially defining an acoustic chamber for an acoustic radiator. The housing further defines an acoustic opening from the acoustic chamber to a surrounding environment. The acoustic enclosure also has a first acoustic resonator and a second acoustic resonator. The first acoustic resonator and the second acoustic resonator are acoustically coupled with the acoustic chamber in parallel relative to each other. Each of the first acoustic resonator and the second acoustic resonator modifies a frequency response of the acoustic chamber. Loudspeakers can include such an enclosure acoustically excited or driven by an electro-acoustic transducer. As well, an electronic device can include such a loudspeaker.
