Eyewear accommodating headset with audio compensation
A headset comprises an ear cup, at least one speaker, an adjustable ear cup shaper, and circuitry. The ear cup shaper is adjustable into at least two configurations, wherein a first of the configurations creates no depression or a first amount of depression in the ear cup and a second of the configurations creates a second amount of depression in the ear cup, where the second amount is greater than the first amount. The circuitry is operable to determine which one of the configurations the ear cup shaper is configured into, and set an audio setting applied to an audio signal output to the speaker based on the determined one of the configurations.
1. A headset comprising:
an ear cup comprising a foam ring, wherein:
the foam ring comprises a hollow area that extends between a perimeter of the foam ring and a center space defined by the foam ring, and
the hollow area receives foam according to an analysis of whether eyewear is worn by a user of the headset.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the headset comprises a processing unit.
3. The headset of claim 1 , wherein a processing unit performs the analysis according to an acoustic wave characteristic.
4. The headset of claim 1 , wherein a processing unit is operable to apply a bass boost to an audio signal.
5. The headset of claim 1 , wherein a processing unit is operable to apply a gain to an audio signal.
6. The headset of claim 1 , wherein a processing unit is operable to determine whether eyewear is worn by a user of the headset according to acoustic waves captured by one or more microphones.
7. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the a processing unit is operable to adjust an audio signal received by the headset according whether the hollow area receives foam.
8. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the headset comprises one or more microphones configured to capture acoustic waves inside the center space defined by the foam ring.
9. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the hollow area receives foam according to on amount of depression in the ear cup.
10. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the headset comprises memory operable to store a plurality of adjustments for application to the audio signal.
11. The headset of claim 10 , wherein the memory is FLASH memory.
12. The headset of claim 1 , wherein an adjustment of an audio signal is user controlled.
13. The headset of claim 1 , wherein an audio signal is received wirelessly.
14. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the foam ring is covered by a liner.
15. A system comprising:
a headset comprising an ear cup; and
non-transitory machine readable storage having code stored thereon, wherein:
the ear cup comprises a foam ring,
the foam ring comprises a hollow area that extends between a perimeter of the foam ring and a center space defined by the foam ring wherein when code is executed by a computing device, and
the computing device is configured to determine whether eyewear is worn by a user of the headset, and
the computing device is operable to determine, according to acoustic waves captured by one or more microphones, whether the hollow area receives foam.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the computing device is operable to adjust an audio signal received by the headset according to a configuration of the headset determined by the computing device.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the headset comprises one or more microphones configured to capture acoustic waves inside the center space defined by the foam ring.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein a configuration of the headset is based on amount of depression in the ear cup.
