In-ear wireless device

An in-ear listening device comprising:

• a device housing having a speaker housing and a stem extending away from the speaker housing;
• an audio port formed through the speaker housing;
• a speaker disposed in the speaker housing and aligned to emit sound through the audio port;
• a microphone aperture positioned on the stem;
• a microphone disposed within the stem and operatively coupled to receive sound through the microphone aperture;
• a rechargeable battery disposed within the device housing;
• a wireless antenna disposed within the device housing;
• a user-interface touch control disposed on the device housing and operable to control a function of the in-ear listening device;
• battery charging circuitry coupled to the rechargeable battery and positioned within the device housing;
• and
• a plurality of electrical contacts disposed at an exterior surface of the device housing, the plurality of electrical contacts including at least one contact coupled to the battery charging circuitry and configured to receive electrical power from an external power supply.

An in-ear listening device comprising:

• a device housing comprising a speaker housing and a tubular portion extending away from the speaker housing, wherein the speaker housing includes a base portion integrally formed with a first end of the tubular portion and a cap coupled to the base portion;
• an audio port formed through the cap;
• a mesh screen coupled to the cap and disposed across the audio port;
• a speaker disposed in the speaker housing and aligned to emit sound through the audio port;
• a microphone disposed at a second end of the tubular portion opposite the first end;
• at least one acoustic vent formed through the speaker housing to provide a path for acoustic pressure to vent;
• a rechargeable battery disposed within the device housing;
• a wireless antenna disposed within the device housing;
• a user-interface touch control positioned along the tubular portion and operable to control a function of the in-ear listening device, the user-interface touch control comprising a sensor that detects motion and position of a user's finger along a touch control region of the tubular portion;
• battery charging circuitry coupled to the rechargeable battery and positioned within the device housing;
• and
• a plurality of electrical contacts disposed at an exterior surface of the device housing, the plurality of electrical contacts including at least one contact coupled to the battery charging circuitry.
