Aspects include earpieces with debris ingress protection. The earpieces includes at least one feature for mitigating ingress of debris such as dust,
dirt,
wax, etc. In one example, an earpiece includes: an electro-acoustic
transducer; a housing supporting the electro-acoustic
transducer such that the housing and the electro-acoustic
transducer together define a first acoustic volume, wherein the housing defines a
nozzle with an acoustic passage coupled with the first acoustic volume; a first port
coupling the first acoustic volume to a space outside the housing; a second port
coupling a
microphone supported in the housing to the space outside the housing; and an ear tip supported on the
nozzle and configured to form a tight acoustic seal with a user's
ear canal when the earpiece is worn, the ear tip comprising an extension member extending over the first port to inhibit debris from entering the first port.
