A seat includes: a backrest configured to support a back of a seated occupant; a headrest provided to an upper portion of the backrest and configured to support a back of a head of the seated occupant; an overhang portion configured to overhang forward so as to laterally cover the head of the seated occupant from a side portion of the headrest; an overhang adjustment mechanism capable of adjusting an overhang amount of the overhang portion; and a height adjustment mechanism capable of adjusting a height position of the headrest with respect to the backrest.

A vehicle headrest assembly includes a housing operatively coupleable to a vehicle seat back. The assembly also includes a cover at least partially surrounding the housing. The assembly further includes a dock operatively coupled to the housing. The assembly yet further includes at least one Bluetooth speaker repeatedly removable and connectable with the dock. The Bluetooth speaker comprises a power source, a wireless receiver, an amplifier, and a loudspeaker, with the wireless receiver coupled to the loudspeaker via the amplifier for reproducing sounds in accordance with a digital signal received by the wireless receiver.

The technology described in this document can be embodied in a system that includes a seat headrest enclosing at least one first acoustic transducer that generates audio output in a first frequency range. The system also includes an adjustable headrest wing disposed in front of the seat headrest, the headrest wing being pivotally coupled to the seat headrest and adjustable to one of multiple positions. The headrest wing includes at least one second acoustic transducer that generates audio output in a second frequency range that includes frequencies higher than the upper end of the first frequency range. The system further includes a controller configured to adjust, for a given position of the headrest wing, one or more parameters of at least one of: (i) the first acoustic transducer and (ii) the second acoustic transducer in accordance with a target acoustic distribution.

A powered head restraint assembly for a vehicle includes a head restraint, a seat back, a sleeve in the seat back, and a head restraint support post extending from the head restraint and received by the sleeve in the seat back. The head restraint support post includes a conductive strip on an outer surface of the head restraint support post in contact with a conductive contact in the sleeve to establish an electrical connection between the conductive strip and the conductive contact.

Examples are provided for a speaker system that redirects sound toward a listener, such as an occupant of a vehicle. The speaker system may be integrated into a headrest of a vehicle. An example speaker system includes a transducer adapted to generate sound waves at a first transducer output, a horn coupled to the transducer output and adapted to guide the sound waves from the transducer toward a horn output, and a grill coupled to the horn via a curved joint and adapted to redirect the sound waves from the horn output. The example speaker system may further include a pad ring or bezel positioned between the transducer and the horn.
