A headphone speaker system includes over-the-ear speakers (left and right) and inner-ear speakers (left and right). The left over-the-ear speaker and the right over-the-ear speaker are configured to receive a left surround audio channel of an audio signal and a right surround audio channel of the audio signal, respectively, from a surround sound processor, and are configured to be positioned outside a left ear canal of a user and outside a right ear canal of the user, respectively. The left inner-ear speaker and the right inner-ear speaker are configured to receive a left front audio channel of the audio signal and a right front audio channel of the audio signal, respectively, from the surround sound processor, and are configured to be positioned at least partially within the left ear canal of the user and at least partially within the right ear canal of the user, respectively.

Disclosed herein are computing devices, including audio playback devices, that are configured to coordinate playback of multichannel audio across a plurality of devices. A primary playback device receives an audio an audio input stream comprising a plurality of input channels and generates first and second audio streams comprising first and second subsets, respectively, of the input channels. The primary playback device compresses the first and second audio streams and transmits them wirelessly to first and second satellite playback devices, respectively.

A display device, a method for realizing panoramic sound, a non-transitory storage medium are provided. The method includes: performing space model parameter modification on preset space model based on application environment; determining middle audio source information based on video source information as read, determining side audio source information based on video source information and modified space model parameter; determining top audio source information based on sound image position information and side audio source information; controlling middle sound production circuit to produce sound based on middle audio source information, two side sound production circuits to produce sound based on side audio source information, top sound production circuit to produce sound based on top audio source information.

A speaker device comprising two membranes facing each other, and two drive units arranged for driving the two membranes in opposite direction in operation. A vented frame element and a closed frame element are positioned outward on either side of the two membranes. At least one bellows element is connected on a first side to the membrane which is positioned closest to the closed frame element, and connected on a second side to the closed frame element.

Sound generator wearable on the head, comprising: a first sound generator element on a first side; and a second sound generator element on a second side, wherein at least a first sound transducer and a second sound transducer are arranged in the first sound generator element such that sound emission directions of the first sound transducer and the second sound transducer are parallel or deviate by less than 30° from a parallel emission direction, and wherein a third sound transducer and a fourth sound transducer are arranged in the second sound generator element such that sound emission directions of the third sound transducer and the fourth sound transducer are parallel to one another or deviate by less than 30° from a parallel emission direction.

Various implementations include portable speakers with dynamic display characteristics. In some particular aspects, a portable speaker includes an enclosure housing: at least one electro-acoustic transducer for providing an audio output; a processor coupled with the at least one transducer; an audio input module coupled with the processor for receiving audio input signals; and a battery configured to power the at least one transducer, the processor, and the audio input module; an input channel for receiving a hard-wired audio input connection; at least one wireless input channel for receiving an audio input from a source device via a wireless connection; and a display on the enclosure coupled with the processor, wherein the processor adjusts an orientation of the display between a first orientation and a second orientation in response to detecting a change in orientation of the portable speaker.

Noise-canceling audio devices may include a first vibration member, a second vibration member, and a microphone supported by a housing. A feedback, noise-cancelation circuit may be operatively connected to the microphone, the feedback, noise-cancelation circuit configured to generate a first portion of a modified audio signal by combining an audio signal with a noise-canceling signal generated in response to a signal from the microphone to at least partially cancel at least a portion of an audible response of the second vibration member. A feed-forward, noise-cancelation circuit may be operatively connected to the microphone, the feed-forward, noise-cancelation circuit configured to compare the signal from the microphone to a predetermined SPL profile and generate a second portion of the modified audio signal configured to at least partially cancel environmental noise, the feedback, noise cancelation circuit configured to output the modified audio signal only to the first vibration member.

An eyeglass headphone with a frame that is constructed and arranged to be carried by the head of a wearer, the frame comprising a bridge that is adapted to be supported by the wearer's nose, and a left temple and a right temple that extend rearwardly from the bridge, toward the left and right ears of the wearer, respectively, and a dipole loudspeaker built into the frame, where the dipole loudspeaker comprises a driver that emits front-side acoustic radiation from its front side, and emits rear-side acoustic radiation from its rear side. The frame comprises at least first and second sound-emitting openings, wherein the first sound-emitting opening is constructed and arranged to emit front-side acoustic radiation and the second sound-emitting opening is constructed and arranged to emit rear-side acoustic radiation.
