A loudspeaker assembly for on-ear headphones, to be arranged on and/or over the ear, includes a housing in which a woofer is arranged and configured to emit low frequency sound waves along a low frequency sound beam axis toward the wearer's the ear. At least one tweeter is arranged in the housing and configured to emit high frequency sound waves along a high frequency sound beam axis toward the wearer's the ear. The at least one tweeter is a MEMS loudspeaker.

Loudspeaker assembly and headphones for spatially localizing a sound event

An audio system worn near the user's ear has a carrier element and a speaker. The carrier element is configured for affixing the audio system to the head of the user and defines a hollow space having a primary opening oriented in the direction of the opening of the user's ear when worn and emitting first sound waves from the speaker. The hollow space includes a secondary opening disposed in a first hollow space region of the carrier element and oriented away from the ear toward the surrounding area when the carrier element is worn so that the speaker emits secondary sound waves through the secondary opening, and the secondary sound waves are offset in phase from the first sound waves such that the volume of the sound waves emitted by the audio system into the surrounding area can be reduced.

Audio system having beam-shaping speakers and eyewear having such an audio system

The invention relates to an audio system () for disposing in the external region of an ear, having a carrier element () for affixing to the head of the user and comprising at least one hollow space () having a primary opening () oriented in the direction of an ear opening () of the intended ear when the carrier element () is disposed as intended, and having at least one speaker () disposed in the hollow space (), the cavity () thereof being at least partially formed by a first hollow space region () and by means of which first sound waves () can be emitted through the primary opening () in the direction of the ear spaced apart from said opening. According to the invention, the hollow space () comprises a secondary opening () disposed in the first hollow space region () such that said opening is oriented away from the ear toward the surrounding area when the carrier element () is disposed as intended so that second sound waves () can be emitted through the secondary opening () by means of the speaker (), said waves being offset in phase from the first sound waves () such that the volume of the sound waves emitted by the audio system () into the surrounding area can be reduced.
