An electronic device for charging earphones includes a housing, a processor, a power supply, a wireless communication device, and a hardware storage device in data communication with the processor. The housing is configured to couple with the earphones. The power supply is in electrical communication with the processor and with an electrical contact to provide electrical communication with earphones. The wireless communication device is in data communication with the processor and configured to be in wireless data communication with the earphones. The hardware storage device is in data communication with the processor.

Audio device charging case with data connectivity

An electronic device for playing audio information to a user includes a body and an ear insert. The body has a speaker therein. The ear insert includes an integrated fin and sound director. The fin and sound director are oriented opposite one another at opposite ends of the ear insert in a longitudinal direction. The fin and sound director each project beyond the body in the longitudinal direction. The sound director is in audio communication with the speaker to direct sound from the speaker through and out of the sound director.

Personal audio device with improved outer ear fit

A display positioning assembly comprises a base portion and a display portion. The base portion comprises a base ferromagnetic component moveably retained within the base portion. The display portion comprises a display ferromagnetic component. The display portion is moveably coupled to the base portion. One or both of the base ferromagnetic component and display ferromagnetic component is a magnet.
