Dual sided ear cup

Abstract

The present embodiments provide dual sided ear cup systems (620) operable with devices, such as a communication device (120). The dual sided ear cup system includes a transducer (622) that generates acoustical signals from both a front side (624) and a back side (626). The system preferably further includes a front side resonant frequency cavity (630) establishing a first resonant frequency, and a back side resonant frequency cavity (632) acoustically matched with the front side resonant frequency cavity. Some embodiments provide wireless communication devices (120) having wireless communication circuitry to receive wireless communication, a front side ear cup (240) and a back side ear cup (140) for emitting substantially the same acoustical signals corresponding to received wireless communication. The wireless device can include a display portion (122) having the ear cups, a keypad portion (124), and a swivel connection (320) between the display and keypad portions.
