Abstract

See full text

An ear-fitting headphone restraint system includes an attachment assembly configured to be coupled to a portion of a stem of an ear-fitting headphone. The ear-fitting headphone is configured to be positioned against an ear canal of an ear. The system also includes a brace assembly coupled to the attachment assembly and configured to restrain the ear-fitting headphone against the ear canal by creating compression forces. The compression forces include a first compression force between the ear-fitting headphone and the ear canal. The compression forces further include a second compression force between a concha of the ear and the brace assembly. A first side of the brace assembly is configured to be positioned on a portion of the concha, and the attachment assembly is operable to transmit the first compression force and the second compression force between the brace assembly and the ear-fitting headphone.
