Abstract

Example wearable audio devices are disclosed. In one example implementation, a wearable audio device includes a housing defining an interior and an exterior. The exterior can have an ear engaging surface. The wearable audio device can include an audio source located within the interior of the housing. The wearable audio device can include an antenna located within the interior. The antenna can have an arc-shaped conductor with a first end and a second end defining an opening. The antenna can be positioned within the housing of the wearable audio device such that the opening of the antenna is positioned further from an ear relative to a middle portion of the arc-shaped conductor when the wearable audio device is worn in the ear.
