Methods and apparatus are provided for automatically adjusting, by an audio device, the SPL of its audio output. As described herein, the SPL is adjusted based on detected ambient noise. According to aspects, audio device iteratively adjusts the SPL based on the ambient noise. According to aspects, the SPL is adjusted to be greater than the ambient noise by a threshold SPL amount. According to aspects, the audio device outputs sound in substantially a first direction and the microphone detects sound substantially outside of the first direction. The adjusted sounds are output by the audio device.

Ambient volume control in open audio device

An open audio device includes an acoustic module and a body that supports the acoustic module. The acoustic module is configured to be located at least in part on the outer ear and defines a first sound-emitting opening that is configured to be proximate but spaced from the user's ear canal. The body includes a housing and a bridge that couples the acoustic module to the housing. The housing is configured to be located behind an outer ear of a user and in contact with at least one of the outer ear and the head proximate the intersection of the head and the outer ear. The bridge is constructed to have bending compliance.

A magnetic connector assembly has a female connector with spring-loaded conductive pins slightly protruding inside a recess or cavity in the female connector's body. A corresponding male connector has a protrusion on its body with conductive pins slightly indented into the protrusion's surface. The protrusion on the male connector is sized and shaped to fit into the cavity in the female connector such that the male connector's pins engage the pins of the female connector, allowing for electrical communication across the connector assembly. Magnets on the male and female connectors secure them in a correct orientation. A unique shape ensures proper alignment of the pins and prevents the connection of incompatible devices.

Magnetic connector assembly

An open audio device with a body that has an inner surface that is configured to be located behind an outer ear of a user and in contact along a length of the body at multiple locations of at least one of the outer ear and the head proximate the intersection of the head and the outer ear. The inner surface of the body lies generally along a decaying helix. An acoustic module is carried by the body and is configured to be located against the outer ear above the ear canal opening.

Display screen with graphical user interface for peeking at a profile

A computing system can present a miniprofile comprising an avatar associated with a first account, a handle associated with the first account, a description associated with the first account, and a swipe icon; receive, at the swipe icon, an upward swipe; in response to receiving the upward swipe, present a occupying a larger portion of the display than the miniprofile, the full profile comprising an image associated with the first account, the avatar, the handle, the description, and at least a first post associated with the first account; receive, at the swipe icon, a downward swipe; determine that the downward swipe was a fast downward swipe; and based on determining that the downward swipe was the fast downward swipe, close the full profile and present a feed, the feed comprising at least a second post associated with a second account and a third post associated with a third account.

Presenting miniprofile from feed

Various aspects include audio eyeglasses and methods for controlling audio eyeglasses. In some particular implementations, a method of controlling audio eyeglasses is disclosed. The method can include: detecting a reorient-and-hold gesture on the audio eyeglasses; initiating a timer in response to detecting the reorient-and-hold gesture; and in response to the timer exceeding a threshold period with the reorient-and-hold gesture maintained, powering off the audio eyeglasses.
