    Abstract: An example of a connector for host devices is provided. Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a connector that allows a user to blindly connect the connector to a host device. For example, a magnetic system between the connector and host device may attract when the connector is oriented correctly with the host device's socket, and repel when the connector is incorrectly oriented. The connector may have a cord that is positioned such that, when the user incorrectly orients the connector over the host device's socket, the cord may interfere with the host device's housing, thereby indicating to the user to re-orient the connector. The connector may also employ multiplexed pins so the pins can perform more than a single function. For example, the data (D+/D−) pins may transmit music in the form of audio signals, and information content in the form of electrical signals.

    Abstract: A wearable audio component includes a first cable and an audio source in electrical communication with the first cable. A housing defines an interior and an exterior, the audio source being contained within the interior thereof. The exterior includes an ear engaging surface, an outer surface, and a peripheral surface extending between the front and outer surfaces. The peripheral surface includes a channel open along a length to surrounding portions of the peripheral surface and having a depth to extend partially between the front and outer surfaces. A portion of the channel is covered by a bridge member that defines an aperture between and open to adjacent portions of the channel. The cable is connected with the housing at a first location disposed within the channel remote from the bridge member and is captured in so as to extend through the aperture in a slidable engagement therewith.

    Abstract: An audio accessory may include an earphone, a wire extending from the earphone; an input device in communication with an electronic device; and one or more processors. The input device may include an outer housing a button, and a position sensor. The outer housing may have an outer surface and a channel. The button may be disposed within the channel and configured to move within the channel between a first end of the channel and a second end of the channel. A position sensor may be configured to send a signal when the button moves from the first end of the channel to the second end of the channel. The one or more processors may be configured to receive the signal from the position sensor; and terminate an action being performed by the electronic device when the button moves to the second end of the channel.
