An open audio device includes an acoustic radiator that emits front-side acoustic radiation from its front side and emits rear-side acoustic radiation from its rear side, a front acoustic cavity that receives front-side acoustic radiation, and a rear acoustic cavity that receives rear-side acoustic radiation. At least one sound-emitting opening is acoustically coupled to the front acoustic cavity or the second acoustic cavity. The open audio device also includes a removable accessory that includes an acoustic transmission line that is acoustically coupled to the at least one sound-emitting opening when the removable accessory is attached to the open audio device.

Open audio device

A wearable audio system with a first active portion that in its normal use position is carried on a user's body on a first side of the mid-sagittal plane and a second active portion that in its normal use position is carried on the user's body on a second side of the mid-sagittal plane. Sound is transmitted from one active portion and received at the other active portion. The received sound is used to estimate whether the active positions are in their use positions.
