The housing includes: a body portion, an ear-bud portion having at least a speaker operatively coupled with the wireless communications component, and a neck portion having an ear-bud end and a body end, the ear-bud end coupled with the ear-bud portion, the body end coupled with the body portion. The housing is attachable on the wireless host device between an inner surface of the ear-bud portion and an inner surface of the body portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wireless headset system for a wireless host device comprising: a housing having at least a wireless communications component configured to communicate with a wireless host device, the housing including: a body portion; an ear-bud portion having at least a speaker operatively coupled with the wireless communications component; and a neck portion having an ear-bud end and a body end, the ear-bud end coupled with the ear-bud portion, the body end coupled with the body portion, the neck portion separating the ear-bud portion and the body portion by a distance; where the body portion and ear-bud portion resist an outward flexing that increases a clipping distance between the body portion and the ear-bud portion; where the housing is attachable on the wireless host device between an inner surface of the ear-bud portion and an inner surface of the body portion and generally held in position by the resistance to the outward flexing; and where the body portion and the ear-bud portion are positionable to vary the distance between the body portion and the ear-bud portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1, wherein the distance varies over a length of the ear-bud portion, wherein the body portion and the ear-bud portion are separated by an inner distance at a top of the ear-bud portion, the inner distance being equal to or greater than a thickness of the wireless host device, the ear-bud portion separated from the body portion by the clipping distance at the bottom of the ear-bud portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the ear-bud portion and the body portion are outwardly flexible to vary the clipping distance based at least in part on the neck portion being at least partially flexible. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The wireless headset system of claim 2 wherein at least one of the ear-bud portion and the body portion is constructed at least in part of a compressible material, the compressible material compressing or expanding to increase or decrease the clipping distance. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1, further comprising a clipping spring coupled with the neck portion and at least one of the body portion and the ear-bud portion, the clipping spring having a spring tension resisting increase to the clipping distance by outward flexing. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein the body portion comprises a microphone component operatively coupled with the wireless communications component. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 further comprising a clip which includes a plug configured to mate with a host device port, the clip is configured to removeably secure the wireless headset housing to the wireless host device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein the neck portion is curved and is flexible relative to at least one of the ear-bud portion and the body portion. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 further comprising a battery in the housing. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The wireless headset system of claim 9 wherein the body portion terminates opposite the neck with an electronic connector coupled with the battery. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The wireless headset system of claim 10 wherein the electronic connector is a USB connector. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein the body portion comprises at least one of a display and a camera. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 further comprising a flexible printed circuit board in the housing. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the ear-bud portion and the body portion is constructed at least in part of a flexible material, the flexible material inwardly flexible to vary at least the clipping distance. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein the body end of the neck portion coupled with the body portion forms a joint. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The wireless headset system of claim 15 wherein the joint is constructed at least in part of a stretchable material. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The wireless headset system of claim 15 wherein the body portion and the ear-bud portion are outwardly flexible to vary the clipping distance based at least in part on the neck portion being at least partially moveable relative to the body portion about the joint. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The wireless headset system of claim 17 further comprising a clipping spring coupled with the neck portion and at least one of the body portion and the ear-bud portion, the clipping spring having a spring tension resisting outward movement about the joint to increase the clipping distance. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The wireless headset system of claim 1 wherein the wireless communications component communicates with the wireless host device using Bluetooth communications. ### Claim 20 (depends on 9) The wireless headset system of claim 9 wherein the wireless communications component can be paired to the wireless host device and at least a second host device.
