Abstract
Disclosed are a method, a device, and/or a system of secure and/or comfortable retention of an earbud through a retainer contacting the concha of the ear. In one embodiment, a retainer for an earbud includes an arm extending at least partially from an aft portion of the earbud and configured to contact a concha of the ear when the earbud is seated in an ear, and a hinge element that is configured to permit at least a first portion of the arm to hinge away from the concha. The hinge element resists hinging away from the concha with a restoring force, such that when the earbud is seating in the ear the arm pushes from the concha and/or an interior surface of an anti-helix of the ear to apply force toward a front portion of the earbud and/or an ear tip of the earbud, to comfortably retain the earbud.
