Abstract
An audio earphone device may include an earpiece configured to playback audio, an earhook attached to the earpiece, and an eartip removably attached to the earpiece. The earpiece may be configured to deliver audio to the ear with the removably attached eartip removed. The earhook may be configured to be placed around an ear to position an opening for a speaker of the earpiece over the cavum concha of the ear. The eartip may be configured to sit in the cavum concha of the ear and channel audio from the opening of the earpiece to the ear canal of the ear. The eartip may be removably attached to only a side of the earpiece that is configured to be proximate to the ear.
