Abstract:
An audio device with a body configured to be worn on or abutting an outer ear of a user, wherein the body is configured to contact at least one of the outer ear and the portion of the head that abuts the outer ear, at two separate spaced contact locations, and wherein the body is compliant at a body portion that defines one of the contact locations. The device also has an acoustic module carried by the body and configured to locate a sound-emitting opening anteriorly of and proximate the user's ear canal opening when the body is worn on or abutting the ear of the user.

Claim (Index 23):
An audio device, comprising:\n a compliant body configured to be worn on or abutting an outer ear of a user; and an acoustic module carried by the body and configured to locate a sound-emitting opening anteriorly and proximate the tragus of the user's ear when the body is worn on or abutting the ear of the user; wherein the body extends generally along an arc that extends for at least 180 degrees, wherein the body is configured to contact the ear root region at a plurality of separate contact locations along the ear root region, from proximate the otobasion superius to proximate the otobasion inferius, wherein the body has an out of plane curvature along its extent that is constructed and arranged such that the body portion proximate the otobasion inferius is laterally offset from the body portion proximate the otobasion superius, and wherein a first contact location is proximate the upper portion of the helix of the outer ear, and a second contact location is adjacent to the otobasion inferius, wherein the body is compliant at a portion that defines the first contact location, and wherein a third contact location is proximate the first contact location, such that the first and third contact locations are configured to contact the ear root region on opposite sides of the ear root ridge proximate the upper portion of the helix, and wherein the body is not compliant at a body portion that defines a second location that is proximate the first contact location.
