Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to custom-fit in-ear audio devices, also referred to herein as in-ear audio devices, custom-fit earpieces, or simply earpieces. The following discloses embodiments of custom-fit earpieces that include features providing superior retention in a user's ear while also maintaining desirable comfort and sound quality. The superior retention is generally provided by a curable filler material disposed in a sleeve body that is deformed to conform to the shape of a user's ear as the curable filler material is cured. The comfort level of the custom-fit earpiece described herein is enhanced because the audio output member can move independently or relative to the portion of the earpiece that includes the curable filler material, thus allowing the audio output member to adjust to and comfortably fit within a given user's ear canal.
This specification describes a device comprising: an acoustically transparent housing; a microphone array comprising a plurality of microphones for capturing audio data, the plurality of microphones being located at a lower end of the housing; at least one speaker configured to output an output sound dependent on an output audio signal, the speaker being located above the microphone array; and a data processing apparatus configured to provide: a plurality of acoustic echo cancellers, each for use in generating a respective echo cancelled audio signal dependent on audio data derived from a respective microphone, using information derived from the said output audio signal; and an adaptive beamformer configured to combine the echo cancelled audio signals..

COMMUNICATION OF AUDIO CONTROL SIGNALS FOR WIRELESS AUDIO HEADPHONES
A wireless audio headphone (16) communication system has an audio input for receiving an audio signal from an audio source. A wireless transceiver (30) receives and transmits radio frequency communication with a wireless audio headphone (16), the communications including an audio control signal that conforms to a wireless audio control protocol of a wireless communication protocol. A converter (32) converts the audio control signal between the wireless audio control protocol transceiver by the wireless transceiver (30) and a local control protocol for controlling the audio source.
A speaker (20) that includes a pair of spaced-apart, in-plane mounted drivers (24, 26) connected in series to a network for applying the appropriate frequency component of the electrical input drive signal to each of the drivers is disclosed. A frequency dependent shunting network, such as a low pass filter (40), is applied to one of the drivers so as to gradually mute the one driver (24) as a desired frequency is approached. The result is an aesthetically pleasing speaker that has dual in-plane drivers (24, 26) and that produces superior sound quality throughout the entire frequency range of the speaker, including those ranges in which dual, in plane, drivers (24, 26) tend to acoustically interfere with each other.
