The module may include electronics for processing audio and/or video input and/or output signals. The module may be provided with an adjustable arm, for adjustably carrying a speaker. The module and/or the speaker may be adjusted relative to the wearer in any of the anterior-posterior direction, the inferior-superior direction and laterally. Rotation adjustments may also be accomplished. Eyewear may be provided with only a single module, on a single side, or with two modules, one on each side, such as to provide stereo audio or dual mono sound. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronically-enabled eyewear configured to provide at least audio media to a wearer, the electronically-enabled eyewear comprising: an eyeglass frame configured to support at least one lens, the eyeglass frame comprising a first lateral side and a second lateral side, wherein the second lateral side is laterally opposite the first lateral side; a first electronics module separate from and supported by the first lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the first electronics module comprising a first speaker, a first transmitter, and a first receiver; and a second electronics module separate from and supported by the second lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the second electronics module comprising a second speaker and a second receiver; wherein: the first electronics module is configured to receive data from a remote device via the first receiver; and the second electronics module is configured to receive data from the first electronics module via a wireless link, the wireless link comprising the first transmitter and the second receiver. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the eyeglass frame further comprises a first earstem forming part of the first lateral side of the eyeglass frame and a second earstem forming part of the second lateral side of the eyeglass frame. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 2, wherein the first electronics module is separate from and supported by the first earstem and the second electronics module is separate from and supported by the second earstem. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein: the first electronics module further comprises a first arm separate from and supported by the first lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the first arm being rotatable relative to the eyeglass frame; and the second electronics module further comprises a second arm separate from and supported by the second lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the second arm being rotatable relative to the eyeglass frame. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the first electronics module further comprises a first power source and the second electronics module further comprises a second power source. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the wireless link utilizes Bluetooth protocol. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the first electronics module further comprises electronics configured to stream audio data from the remote device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the first electronics module further comprises an audio player having an audio storage device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 1, wherein the remote device is a cell phone. ### Claim 10 An electronically-enabled eyewear configured to provide at least audio media to a wearer, the electronically-enabled eyewear comprising: an eyeglass frame configured to support at least one lens, the eyeglass frame comprising a first lateral side and a second lateral side, wherein the second lateral side is laterally opposite the first lateral side; a first earstem supported by the first lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the first earstem configured to support a first speaker, a first transmitter, and a first receiver; and a second earstem supported by the second lateral side of the eyeglass frame, the second earstem configured to support a second speaker and a second receiver; wherein: the first receiver is configured to receive data from a remote device; and the second receiver is configured to receive data from the first transmitter, the data comprising at least part of the audio media. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein the first earstem supports a first housing, the first housing comprising the first speaker, the first transmitter, and the first receiver. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 11, wherein the second earstem supports a second housing, the second housing comprising the second speaker and the second receiver. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein the first earstem supports a first power source and the second earstem supports a second power source. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein wireless communications between the first transmitter and the second receiver utilize Bluetooth protocol. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein the first earstem supports electronics configured to stream audio data from the remote device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein the first earstem supports an audio player having an audio storage device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The electronically-enabled eyewear of claim 10, wherein the remote device is a cell phone.
