Abstract:
The new headphone design shrinks a directional audio system down to a headphone system. It can have 3 design variants such as a planar array configuration, mini sound dome configuration and parabolic reflector configuration. The new headphone design is a open ear directional speaker headphone design that beams private audio that only the headphone user can hear. This invention is a directional headphone system that separates the speakers a distance away from the user ears. The speakers can be placed either pointed vertically or horizontally away from the ear. The sound is emitted and reflected and bounced back into the user's ears to eliminate the need for ear plugins or ear pads that can be hot and sweaty and uncomfortable with prolong use. The directional audio headphone eliminates the need for earpads on the ear or earbuds in the ear. This private audio “open ear” design will enable the user to still hear external situation noise (e.g. cars driving by, people talking, etc.) while still listening to audio. Whether the source of the audio come from a parametric ultrasonic speaker, different variations of ultrasonic speakers or regular spherical speakers the speaker isn't placed in the ear, around the ear and but pointed away from the ear where sound is reflected and focused back to the ears so the user can listen to private audio with comfort without the need for in the ear earphones on the ear or earbuds in the ear.

Claim (Index 12):
