Abstract

An earphone comprising an earphone housing having a housing wall that encloses a driver, the driver having a front face that outputs sound waves and a back face opposite the front face, the housing wall defines a first chamber acoustically coupled to the front face of the driver and a second chamber acoustically coupled to the back face of the driver. A primary output opening is formed through a portion of the housing wall forming the first chamber and that is at an angle with respect to the front face of the driver, the primary output opening is dimensioned to output the sound waves into an ear of a user. A tuning output port and a bass port are formed through portions of the housing wall acoustically coupled to the second chamber. The tuning output port and the bass port face different directions and acoustically couple the second chamber to a surrounding environment.
