Abstract

An earphone audio device includes a housing, a speaker component, and a step-styled tip wherein the tip comprises a mid-section and a leading-section, the leading section having a smaller radial profile than the mid-section, and the speaker component is at least partially disposed within the aperture formed by the interior wall of the mid-section. In some embodiments, the speaker component may be entirely disposed within the mid-section such that no part of the speaker component extends toward the housing of the earphone beyond the aperture formed by the mid-section.
