The disclosure relates to on-ear headphones comprising at least one ear-cushion, the at least one ear-cushion defining an ear-surface configured to interface with a user's ear when the headphones are worn by the user, the ear-surface comprising a perforated area, the perforated area comprising a plurality of staggered elongated perforations.

A ring-shaped cushion for a hearing protector or audio headset. The cushion has a circumferential contact pad for sealing on a wearer's head and an attachment for sealing with an earmuff. The cushion further has a sound insulation tube that inwardly defines an inner space. The sound insulation tube extends between the contact pad and the attachment. The cushion has a ventilation passage that extends entirely through the cushion between an inlet opening in the contact pad and an area outside of the inner space. The cushion may further include one or more physiological sensors to monitor the health of a wearer.

An open audio device with a body that has an inner surface that is configured to be located behind an outer ear of a user and in contact along a length of the body at multiple locations of at least one of the outer ear and the head proximate the intersection of the head and the outer ear. The inner surface of the body lies generally along a decaying helix. An acoustic module is carried by the body and is configured to be located against the outer ear above the ear canal opening.

A trauma scene monitoring system includes a medic-worn illumination device, a casualty-worn informatics system, and a remote monitoring station. The illumination device includes a frame with boom-mounted light sources positioned below the wearer's eyes near the zygomatic bones, thus orienting the light sources to project light in the direction of the wearer's view. Also included are audio/video means to capture audio/video information from a scene attended by the medic, and a telemetry unit to transmit that information to the remote monitoring station. The casualty-worn informatics system is integrated within a headband worn by a monitored individual. The informatics system includes sensors to provide the monitored individual's vital statistics and a telemetry unit to transmit data concerning the monitored individual to the remote monitoring station. At the remote monitoring station, receiving and presentation stations provide views of the data concerning the monitored individual and audio/video data from the medic-worn illumination device.

A computer program product having a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program logic encoded thereon that, when performed on a surround sound audio system that is configured to render left front, right front, and center front audio signals, and also render left and right near-field binaurally-encoded audio signals, causes the surround sound audio system to develop the left and right near-field binaurally-encoded audio signals, and provide the left near-field binaurally-encoded audio signal to a left non-occluding near-field driver and provide the right near-field binaurally-encoded audio signal to a right non-occluding near-field driver.

Described is a device for the reproduction of three-dimensional sound, in particular headphones, including a pair of specular pads, having a shape such as to substantially form a portion of geoid or a hemisphere where each pad defines a concave inner surface having a plurality of recesses distributed according to a predetermined distribution. The device includes a plurality of loudspeakers, designed for sound reproduction and housed in these recesses. The device also includes a control unit, connected to the plurality of loudspeakers, configured to perform an analysis of a digital sound source and to determine a sound reproduction configuration of the loudspeakers as a function of the analysis of the sound source.

The present disclosure provides an adjustable headphone including a head band assembly and two earpieces attached to two ends of the head band assembly, respectively. The head band assembly includes first and second elongate pieces each extending over a portion of the length of the head band assembly. At least one of the first and second elongate pieces is movable along the length of the head band assembly and including a first length portion and a second length portion having a larger bending strength than the first length portion.

A wireless earring assembly for discretely streaming audio into a user's ears includes a pair of earrings that each includes an ornament, a stud extending away from the ornament and a retainer that is slidable onto the stud. A pair of audio units is each integrated into the ornament of a respective one of the earrings. Each of the audio units is in wireless communication with an audio source such that each of the audio units receives an audio signal from the audio source. Additionally, each of the audio units has sound emitting capabilities to emit audible sounds from the audio signal toward the user's ear.

A mixed, virtual and augmented reality headset having a front casing (2) with a housing receiving a smartphone (19) facing the holographic display (5); a curved holographic display (5) in the front portion of the headset reflecting a projected image (11) via the display of a smartphone (19) and simultaneously allowing the user to see through same; a motorised mirror (14) positioned in a withdrawn position or in an extended position in front of the holographic display (5) reflecting the projected image (11) via the smartphone (19); two motorised lenses (15) positioned in a withdrawn position or in an extended position in front of the pupils (13) of the user; a mirror system (16) reflecting a real external image (10) with respect to the headset (1) towards a camera of the smartphone (19); and a control unit (50) controlling the position of the motorised lenses (15) and mirror (14).

A lawn vehicle network including a lawn vehicle including a movement mechanism and at least one rotatable blade, a circuit capable of residing on the lawn vehicle, a sensor associated with the lawn vehicle and capable of sensing at least one characteristic of the lawn vehicle, a data packet representative of the at least one characteristic of the lawn vehicle, a transmitter connected to the circuit and to a computing device, the transmitter capable of transmitting the data packet to the computing device, the computing device connected to a speaker, the speaker capable of outputting an audible command representing the at least one characteristic of the lawn vehicle.
