Abstract:
Presented here is an apparatus and method to increase a listener's enjoyment of sound by combining in-ear headphones with either over-ear headphones or on-ear headphones. One embodiment is headphones that include an ear-cup with an ear-bud protruding toward the listener's ear-canal. The ear-cup substantially surrounds the listener's ear and delivers sub sonic and low-frequency vibrations to the listener's skin stimulating a vibrotactile response. The ear-bud is disposed within the listener's ear canal and delivers a full range of audible frequencies. Additionally, the headphones, along with the ear-cup in the ear-bud, provide both passive and active noise cancellation.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n a first audio emitter to emit a first range of frequencies comprising audio frequencies producing vibrotactile stimulation of a user's skin; a first acoustic chamber configured to be proximate to the user's skin, the first acoustic chamber to deliver the first range of frequencies to a user; a second audio emitter to emit a second range of frequencies; and a second acoustic chamber configured to be placed within or at an entrance of a user's ear canal and to deliver the second range of frequencies to the user through acoustic stimulation of a user's ear.
