Abstract
Earbud adapter and earbud tip devices are discussed in the present disclosure. In one exemplary embodiment, an adapter may be configured to be detachably coupled to an earbud-type sound device or other sound device. The adapter may comprise a hollow adapter body extending from a proximal end to a distal end along a central longitudinal axis having a proximal portion including a lead in face that aids in placement of a tip on an earbud device and a distal portion having at least one retention member extending radially inward where, in combination, the features can allow positioning and adequate retention of an earbud tip on various configurations of earbuds.
