A headphone and earbud device for receiving an audio signal may include a headphone including a speaker acoustic device to amplify the audio signal and to define a speaker chamber to cooperate with an aperture and an earbud to be detachably connected to the speaker chamber to transmit the audio signal to the speaker chamber.

Claims (40)

1. A headphone system, comprising:

an inner conical component; and

an outer conical component, wherein:

the inner conical component is positioned within the outer conical component, such that at least one confined space exists between at least a portion of the interior surface of the outer conical component and at least a portion of the exterior surface of the inner conical component;

the inner conical component and the outer conical component are coaxial; and

the inner conical component includes an aperture positioned at the narrower end of the inner conical component and on the axis shared with the outer conical component, wherein the aperture is configured to detachably mate with an earbud listening device.

2. A headphone system as in claim 1 , wherein the aperture is configured to detachably mate with the earbud listening device via a frictional connection.

3. A headphone system as in claim 1 , wherein the aperture is configured to detachably mate with the earbud listening device via a mechanical connection.

4. A headphone system as in claim 1 , further comprising an ear cushion member.

5. A headphone system as in claim 1 , wherein the outer conical component comprises a compartment for storing the earbud listening device.

6. A headphone system as in claim 1 , further comprising an amplification device connected to the aperture.

7. A headphone system as in claim 6 , wherein the amplification device comprises a microphone.

8. A headphone system as in claim 6 , wherein the amplification device comprises a megaphone.

9. A headphones system, comprising:

a first headphone, wherein the first headphone comprises:

an inner conical component; and

an outer conical component, wherein:

the inner conical component is positioned within the outer conical component, such that at least one confined space exists between at least a portion of the interior surface of the outer conical component and at least a portion of the exterior surface of the inner conical component;

the inner conical component and the outer conical component are coaxial; and

the inner conical component includes an aperture positioned at the narrower end of the inner conical component and on the axis shared with the outer conical component, wherein the aperture is configured to detachably mate with an earbud listening device; and

a second headphone, wherein the second headphone comprises:

an inner conical component; and

an outer conical component, wherein:

the inner conical component is positioned within the outer conical component, such that at least one confined space exists between at least a portion of the interior surface of the outer conical component and at least a portion of the exterior surface of the inner conical component;

the inner conical component and the outer conical component are coaxial; and

the inner conical component includes an aperture positioned at the narrower end of the inner conical component and on the axis shared with the outer conical component, wherein the aperture is configured to detachably mate with an earbud listening device; and

wherein the first headphone is connected to the second headphone.

10. A headphones system as in claim 9 , wherein the first headphone and the second headphone are foldable.

11. A headphones system as in claim 9 , wherein the first headphone is connected to the second headphone by a headband.

12. A headphones system as in claim 11 , wherein the headband comprises telescope mechanism with at least a first position and a second position, wherein the first position and the second position are configured to accommodate respective sizing parameters.

13. A headphones system as in claim 9 , further comprising a connector configured to rotate the first headphone with respect to the second headphone.

14. A headphones system as in claim 9 , wherein each aperture is configured to detachably mate with a earbud listening device via a frictional connection.

15. A headphones system as in claim 9 , wherein each aperture is configured to detachably mate with the earbud listening device via a mechanical connection.

16. A headphones system as in claim 9 , further comprising:

an ear cushion member connected to the first headphone; and

an ear cushion member connected to the second headphone.

17. A headphones system as in claim 9 , wherein each outer conical component comprises a compartment for storing an earbud listening device.

18. A headphones system as in claim 9 , further comprising an amplification device connected to each aperture.

19. A headphones system as in claim 18 , wherein the amplification device comprises a microphone.

20. A headphones system as in claim 18 , wherein the amplification device comprises a megaphone.
