Abstract:
An earpiece for reproducing audio has multiple drivers, including a bone conduction bass driver and an air conduction treble driver, attached to the ends of a malleable, yet stiff, tubing. The bass driver is placed behind or over the ear to provide a high quality bass output while the treble driver is placed so as to extend in proximity to the user's ear canal. The malleable, yet stiff, tubing enables a user to bend the earpiece and thereby position the earpiece comfortably and securely around the user's ear and to optimally position the drivers in the desired positions around the user's ear. The tubing also allows the earpiece, when not in use, to be reshaped for easy storage or to be worn as an accessory. The earpiece may also include one or more microphones with the treble and/or bass drivers.

Claim (Index 2):
The earpiece of  claim 1 , wherein the first speaker driver is included with a first assembly, and wherein the first assembly further comprises:\n (i) a digital signal processor or a passive crossover having an audio input for inputting the received audio signal to be reproduced by the earpiece, a first audio output to output a first part of the audio signal to the first speaker driver that is operatively connected to the digital signal processor, and a second audio output to output a second part of the audio signal to a second speaker driver that uses air conduction; and (ii) a power input or a power source for powering the earpiece.
