An inline controller for an audio headset is provided which is able to connect to a dock. A dock is also provided which is able to connect to an inline controller for an audio headset.

Aspects of the present invention relate to thermal management systems for head-worn computers.

A connector for connecting a hearing aid to a cable, the connector comprising the following: a connector housing with at least one recess; and a seal with a main body arranged at least in part(s) on an outer circumference of the connector housing, and at least one coupling portion arranged at least partially in the recess, so that the seal is connected to the connector housing at least in part(s) in a substantially positive manner.

A tactical vest worn communication control hub has cables extending to transceivers, a headset, and PTT switches. The cables are operationally interconnected within the hub by a circuit board to enable the switches to control operation of the transceivers to receive and transmit and to convey audio signals to and from the headset. The hub is configured to be removably attached to the rear of the vest.

One or more sensors are configured to contextualize a series of user generated movements to control one or more electronic devices. For example, a set of earphones comprises one or more sensors for sensing a location of the earphones. The one or more sensors enable earphones such as a pair of bluetooth or earphones wirelessly coupled to a bluetooth enabled electronic device, the capability to understand the configuration of use of the earphones. Based on a location and use or non-use of the earphones, one or more contextual responses is able to be applied for a given action. In addition, a garment comprises one or more sensors for sensing a motion of a user as the garment is being used. The one or more sensors allow the user to control one or more electronic devices through a series of user generated movements.

The present disclosure relates to a neckband earphone structure. The earphone structure includes at least one compartment, at least one earphone body and at least one earphone cable. The compartment is connected to a hanging ring, an electronic component is provided, in the compartment, one end of the compartment is provided with a female socket, one end of the earphone cable is provided with a male plug, the other end of the earphone cable is connected to the earphone body, the male plug is used for forming a pluggable connection with the female socket, and the earphone cable is docked with the female socket through the male plug to form a fixed connection with the compartment and establish an electrical connection with the electronic component in the compartment. In the present disclosure, the pluggable connection between the male plug and the female socket realizes a detachable connection between the earphone cable and the compartment. When in use, the male plug is directly inserted into the female socket, and when replacement or maintenance is needed, the male plug can be directly unplugged, so that the earphone cable and the earphone body are detached from the compartment of the hanging ring, thus meeting replacement/maintenance requirements of users and improving the use convenience.

Cables, including electrical cables. The cables are provided with a series of elements designed to interlock with each other when a first length of cable is pressed against a second length of cable, the element including protrusions and spaces between the protrusions. A user folds a length of cable on itself or on another cable, snugly pressing the protrusions into the spaces, to store the cable, or to restrict the movement of the cable during use. In this manner, movement of the cable is restricted into the configuration set by the user, and preventing the cable from becoming tangled, knotted, or so forth.

Structures and functions of wired headsets are disclosed. In an example, a wired headset includes a first earcup and a second earcup. A headband and a wire to connect with the first earcup. The first earcup connected to the wire is capable of rotation to facilitate routing of the headset wire from the first earcup to the second earcup along with the headband. The headset also includes latches and holders to hold the wire when it routes from the first earcup to the second earcup.

One or more sensors are configured to contextualize a series of user generated movements to control one or more electronic devices. For example, a set of earphones comprises one or more sensors for sensing a location of the earphones. The one or more sensors enable earphones such as a pair of bluetooth or earphones wirelessly coupled to a bluetooth enabled electronic device, the capability to understand the configuration of use of the earphones. Based on a location and use or non-use of the earphones, one or more contextual responses is able to be applied for a given action.

An ear-wearable electronic device includes a shell with a cable retention slot. The cable entrance slot has an interior end and an exterior end. A bend surface extends from the exterior end of the cable retention slot to an exterior surface of the shell. The bend surface aligned with a crux of a user’s ear when the ear-wearable device is installed in an ear of the user’s ear. The shell may include a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of the user of the ear-wearable device.
