Mass loaded earbud with vent chamber

Intra-concha earphones are disclosed. In an embodiment, an intra-concha earphone includes a housing having a rear space divided into a back volume, a bass duct, and a vent chamber between a driver and a rear wall. The vent chamber may be acoustically coupled with the back volume through both an acoustic port and the bass duct. Furthermore, the vent chamber may be acoustically coupled with a surrounding environment through a vent port, which may be a sole acoustic opening in the rear wall. Thus, sound emitted by the driver may propagate through the acoustic port and the bass duct to meet in the vent chamber before being discharged through the vent port to the surrounding environment. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Speaker Structure with a Loading Hole
20180007464 · 2018-01-04 ·

This invention discloses a kind of speaker structure with a loading hole. A characteristic is that it includes an active cavity that has a cone hole and a loading hole; a loudspeaker is sealed and secured on the said cone hole; the said active cavity is connected to the outside air through the said loading hole; the cone of the said loudspeaker has one side which is connected to the free space; another characteristic of this invention is that it includes a driven cavity that is connected to the said active cavity through the said loading hole; the cross-sectional area of the said loading hole is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the air passage on its either side; further, it is not larger than ⅔ the effective area of all the vibration units in the said active cavity; also, the volume of the said active cavity does not exceed half the total volume of the said active cavity and driven cavity. The loading hole constitutes a loading component which improves the transient response of the speaker body. To a great extent, it solves the contradiction between frequency response and transient effect at low sound frequencies. It lowers the requirements for the loudspeaker and simultaneously allows the frequency response and transient effect for the entire system at low sound frequencies to be handled relatively independently. This causes the loudspeaker cost to be reduced.

20230232168 · 2023-07-20 · ·

A bone conduction speaker includes a housing, a vibration board and a transducer. The transducer is located in the housing, and the vibration board is configured to contact with skin and pass vibration. At least one sound guiding hole is set on at least one portion of the housing to guide sound wave inside the housing to the outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interfaces with the leaked sound wave, and the interfacing reduces a sound pressure level of at least a portion of the leaked sound wave. A frequency of the at least a portion of the leaked sound wave is lower than 4000 Hz.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPRESSING SOUND LEAKAGE
20230232166 · 2023-07-20 · ·

A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.
