Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03075608A1] A light weight and comfortable ear mount for a personal audio-set (10) is disclosed. The ear mount conforms with the anti-helix (90) of a wearer's ear thereby operating substantially as a compression spring (12) between the wearer's anti-helix (90) and tragus (96) to operably secure the personal audio-set in place. In a preferred embodiment, the ear mount is substantially kidney-shaped and includes an opening (35) to prevent the total occlusion of the ear canal by the personal audio-set. Alternatively, the ear mount includes a loop of material sized to operably engage the anti-helix of the wearer's ear. The ear mount is preferably reversible to allow it to be placed in either wear's left or right ear.
