Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for earphones with motion sensitive inflation. In an audio system that comprises an audio output element that is applied directly to or is in contact with at least a portion of an ear of a user of the audio system, one or more adjustments to positioning of the least portion of the audio output element relative to the ear of the user may be determined and applied. The one or more adjustments may be determined as to account for or counteract one or more conditions affecting the outputting of the audio signals and/or contact between the audio output element and the one ear of the user. The one or more adjustment may be applied by modifying characteristics of one or more positioning components of (or coupled to) the audio output element. The one or more positioning components comprise at least one inflation-based component.
