Abstract

A wearable audio device with an electro-acoustic transducer that is configured to create audio output. The transducer has a transducer magnet that produces a transducer magnetic field having a magnetic field strength, and a magnetic structure such as a cup that guides the transducer magnetic field. The transducer magnet is on the inside of the magnetic structure. There is a magnetic field sensor outside of the magnetic structure; the magnetic field sensor is constructed and arranged to sense the Earth's magnetic field. A nulling magnet is coupled to or proximate the outside of the magnetic structure and is constructed and arranged to produce a nulling magnetic field that reduces the strength of the transducer magnetic field at the magnetic field sensor.
