Patent ID: 10531186

Abstract:
An acoustic device with a housing that is configured to be worn draped over the shoulders of a user in a deployed configuration. The housing includes an intermediate portion with opposed first and second ends, a first leg portion that depends from the first end of the intermediate portion, and a second leg portion that depends from the second end of the intermediate portion, wherein each leg portion comprises a distal end spaced farthest from the intermediate portion. The two leg portions can be essentially identical. An acoustic driver is carried by each leg portion and is configured to project sound outwardly from the housing. An acoustic waveguide is located entirely in each leg portion. A waveguide is acoustically coupled to each driver. A waveguide outlet is located in the same leg as the driver and its associated waveguide. The outlets are configured to project outwardly from the housing sound from the driver that was acoustically coupled to the waveguide. Each waveguide extends from the driver, along the leg portion to proximate the intermediate portion, and then turns and extends back along the leg portion to the waveguide outlet.
