Abstract
An earpiece includes an electro-acoustic transducer and a housing that supports the electro-acoustic transducer such that the housing and the electro-acoustic transducer together define a first acoustic volume and a second acoustic volume. The electro-acoustic transducer is arranged such that a first radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the first acoustic volume and a second radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the second acoustic volume. A mesh is disposed along an outlet of the housing and is arranged to inhibit debris from entering the front acoustic volume. A first microphone is supported in the housing. The first microphone includes a microphone port for sensing pressure. A chimney surrounds the microphone port and mechanically couples the first microphone to the mesh.
