Abstract

The present disclosure may provide an acoustic device. The acoustic device may include a housing, at least one low-frequency acoustic driver, at least one high-frequency acoustic driver, and a noise reduction assembly. The housing may be configured to be rested on a shoulder of a user. The at least one low-frequency acoustic driver may be carried by the housing and configured to output first sound from at least two first sound guiding holes. The at least one high-frequency acoustic driver may be carried by the housing and configured to output second sound from at least two second sound guiding holes. The noise reduction assembly may be configured to receive third sound and reduce noise of the third sound.

Claims (24)

1. An acoustic device, comprising:

a housing configured to be rested on a shoulder of a user;

at least one low-frequency acoustic driver carried by the housing and configured to output first sound from at least two first sound guiding holes;

at least one high-frequency acoustic driver carried by the housing and configured to output second sound from at least two second sound guiding holes, wherein the first sound output by the at least two first sound guiding holes has opposite phases.

2. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein

the housing includes an intermediate portion, and a first leg portion and a second leg portion connected to the intermediated portion, respectively;

the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver and the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver are carried by the first leg portion and the second leg portion.

3. The acoustic device of claim 2 , wherein the intermediate portion is configured to allow relative movement of the first leg portion and the second leg portion.

4. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the acoustic device further comprises a noise reduction assembly configured to receive third sound and reduce noise of the third sound.

5. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between two of the at least two first sound guiding holes is larger than a second distance between two of the at least two second sound guiding holes.

6. The acoustic device of claim 5 , wherein the first distance ranges from 20 mm to 40 mm and the second distance ranges from 3 mm to 7 mm.

7. The acoustic device of claim 5 , wherein the first distance is at least twice of the second distance.

8. The acoustic device of claim 1 , a first frequency range of the first sound is smaller than 650 HZ and a second frequency range of the second sound is larger than 1000 HZ.

9. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein a first frequency range of the first sound and a second frequency range of the second sound partially overlap.

10. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver includes a first transducer and the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver includes a second transducer, the first transducer and the second transducer having different frequency response characteristics.

11. The acoustic device of claim 10 , wherein the first transducer includes a low-frequency loudspeaker, and the second transducer includes a high-frequency loudspeaker.

12. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver and the at least two first sound guiding holes form a first acoustic route and the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver and the at least two second sound guiding holes form a second acoustic route, the first acoustic route and the second acoustic route having different frequency selection characteristics.

13. The acoustic device of claim 12 , the first acoustic route or the second acoustic route is filled with an acoustic impedance material, and an acoustic impedance of the acoustic impedance material ranges from 5MKS Rayleigh to 500MKS Rayleigh.

14. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two first sound guiding holes and the at least two second sound guiding holes are located off ears of the user.

15. The acoustic device of claim 14 , wherein the at least two first sound guiding holes are nearer to the ears of the user than the at least second first sound guiding holes.

16. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver is enclosed by a first shell, the first shell defining a front chamber and a rear chamber of the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver.

17. The acoustic device of claim 16 , wherein the front chamber of the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver is acoustically coupled to one of the at least two first sound guiding holes, and the rear chamber of the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver is acoustically coupled to another of the at least two first sound guiding holes.

18. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver is enclosed by a second shell, the second shell defining a front chamber and a rear chamber of the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver.

19. The acoustic device of claim 18 , wherein the front chamber of the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver is acoustically coupled to one of the at least two second sound guiding holes, and the rear chamber of the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver is acoustically coupled to another of the at least two second sound guiding holes.
