Speaker assemblies for a headphone device may include an audio speaker configured to produce audible sound in response to receiving an audio signal at the audio speaker. A tactile bass vibrator distinct from the audio speaker may be operatively connected to the audio speaker. The tactile bass vibrator may be configured to produce tactile vibrations in response to receiving the audio signal at the tactile bass vibrator. A current divider may be operatively connected to the audio speaker and the tactile bass vibrator. A pivoting portion of an attachment structure of an ear cup supporting the audio speaker, tactile bass vibrator, and current divider may intersect with a geometrical central axis of the ear cup, and the audio speaker and tactile bass vibrator may not intersect with the geometrical central axis of the respective ear cup.

The tactile bass vibrator may be configured to produce tactile vibrations in response to receiving the audio signal at the tactile bass vibrator. A current divider may be operatively connected to the audio speaker and the tactile bass vibrator, the current divider providing greater electrical resistance to flow of current to the audio speaker than to flow of current to the tactile bass vibrator.

An electronic device has a speaker. The speaker has a main body and a cover. The main body has a speaker body and a tube. The tube is situated at a side of the speaker body. The cover is situated above the main body for covering the tube and part of the speaker body, such that the speaker has a covered portion and an uncovered portion. The cover has a hole. The sound produced by the covered portion is output via the tube along a first direction. The sound produced by the uncovered portion is output via the hole along a second direction.

A microphone porting and venting assembly (100) is formed of a remote support substrate (118) providing a (130) acoustically resistive element with dedicated venting cavities (132) along with an external baffle (220) providing acoustic channels (212, 214, 216) which further provide water drainage and external sound sampling points (222, 224, 226). The microphone porting and venting assembly (100) is well suited waterproof, noise cancelling microphone systems.

A headphone has a main bass reflex chamber formed inside a housing sidewall. A transducer is mounted in the main bass reflex chamber at a transducer enclosure portion of the main bass reflex chamber. An earbud insert is mounted to the main bass reflex chamber and receives sound from the transducer. The earbud insert has an earbud opening formed at an earbud tip of the earbud insert. The earbud opening connects to an earbud channel. A stem extends from the main bass reflex chamber. The stem has a reflex connector channel. A reflex module is attached to the stem selected from either: a first reflex module removably secured to the stem of the main bass reflex chamber; or a second reflex module removably secured to the stem of the main bass reflex chamber when the first reflex module is removed from the stem of the main bass reflex member.

A speaker and an electronic device having the speaker are disclosed. The speaker has a main body and a cover. The main body has a speaker body and a tube. The tube is situated at a side of the speaker body. The cover is situated above the main body for covering the tube and part of the speaker body such that the speaker has a covered portion and an uncovered portion. The cover has a hole. The sound produced by the covered portion is output via the tube along a first direction. The sound produced by the uncovered portion is output via the hole along a second direction.

A method for designing and making an acoustic meta material back enclosure with a band gap tube for a loudspeaker having predefined dimensions of the enclosure is described. The method includes identifying a resonant frequency of the enclosure, as well as a baseline speaker output within a predefined range of frequencies. The method further includes defining a desired frequency range, within the predefined range of frequencies, within which it is desired to increase the speaker output, and identifying a naturally occurring band gap frequency range for the enclosure. Parameters of an acoustic meta material (AMM) band-gap tube, to be inserted into the enclosure for porting thereof, are calibrated to improve speaker output in the desired frequency range, based on the identified band gap frequency range. The enclosure is then ported using AMM band-gap tube in accordance with the calibrated parameters.
