Abstract:
A headphone that may reduce acoustic noise from a tactile vibration driver includes a housing, and an acoustic driver and tactile vibration driver within the housing. The tactile vibration driver is configured to generate tactile vibration sufficient to be felt by a user responsive to the input signal. The headphone also includes a noise cancellation unit coupled with the acoustic driver, the noise cancellation unit configured to: generate an adjustment signal based, at least in part, on a transfer function associated with the tactile vibration driver generating acoustic noise incidental to the tactile vibrations; and adjust the input signal responsive to the adjustment signal to transmit an output signal for reproduction by the acoustic driver. Related methods for operating and making such headphones are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of operating a headphone, the method comprising:\n filtering an input signal into a first filtered input signal and a second filtered input signal utilizing a filter; producing audio sound waves with an acoustic driver responsive to the input signal; sending the second filtered input signal directly to a tactile vibration driver and producing tactile vibrations with the tactile vibration driver to be felt by a user responsive to the second filtered input signal; and reducing effects of incidental acoustic noise generated by the tactile vibration driver responsive to a noise cancellation unit generating an adjustment signal to apply to the input signal, the noise cancellation unit connected between the filter and the acoustic driver and having its own fixed, predetermined transfer function based at least partially on a transfer function associated with operation of the tactile vibration driver.
