IN-EAR HEADPHONES WITH RETENTION MEMBERS

摘要

Retention members for an in-ear headphone include a base portion and a substantially straight flexible finger extending from the base portion. Absent external forces, the flexible finger includes a substantially straight longitudinal axis and a back surface extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion and having a plurality of recesses along a length of the back surface. The flexible finger is configured to, during use, bend into a curved shape for disposition under a user's antihelix. In-ear headphones include a shell defining a volume housing an audio driver, a nozzle extending from the shell configured for at least partial insertion into an ear canal, and a flexible retention member coupled to the shell, the flexible finger including a substantially straight longitudinal axis, a back surface, and a concave front surface.

主权项

1. A retention member for an in-ear headphone, comprising:
a base portion configured for coupling to an audio driver housing; a substantially straight flexible finger extending from the base portion, the flexible finger comprising, absent external forces:
a substantially straight longitudinal axis;a back surface extending from a proximal end portion of the flexible finger proximate to the base portion to a distal end portion of the flexible finger distant from the base portion; anda plurality of recesses along a length of the back surface; wherein the flexible finger is configured to, during use, bend into a curved shape for disposition under a user's antihelix, such that portions of the back surface between the plurality of recesses abut against the user's antihelix and the distal end portion is positioned between the user's antihelix and crux of helix.
