Abstract

An ultra-compact headset device including both speaker and microphone capability in at least one earphone overcomes the minimum size requirements of previous headsets by controlling the speaker and microphone functionality so that each earphone functions either as a speaker or microphone, but never both at the same time. Various embodiment headsets may include a pair of earphones each with one or more transducers capable of converting electrical signals into sound and vice versa. The ultra-compact headset may be wirelessly coupled to a mobile device, such as a cellular telephone or smart phone.

Description

Background technique [0001] usually, The wireless headset unit includes a microphone, a speaker, and Wireless transmitter / receiver. The wireless headset device may receive data from a mobile communication device or other device. The data is processed to produce output as sound audible to the user. However, in this device, the microphone must be positioned at least a minimum distance from the speaker to prevent interference or feedback that could cause inoperability or poor operation of the wireless earphone device. This minimum distance may be predetermined to avoid such problems, but the distance results in a fixed minimum size for the wireless headset device. Therefore, typical Wireless headsets contain a small boom to position the microphone at a minimum distance from the speaker. Such features and minimum size constraints may render headphones undesirable or unattractive to some users. Contents of the invention [0002] Various embodiments include enabling wire...
