Abstract
An audio device with a body configured to be worn on or abutting an outer ear of a user. The body comprises an upper curved portion that is configured to be located proximate the upper portion of the outer ear helix and is relatively more compliant about a vertical axis and is less compliant about a horizontal axis. An acoustic module is coupled to the upper curved portion of the body. The acoustic module is configured to locate a sound-emitting opening anteriorly of and proximate the user's ear canal opening when the body is worn on or abutting the outer ear of the user.
