Wireless headset system

Abstract

A wireless headset system includes a housing having at least a wireless communication component configured to communicate with a wireless host device. 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.

What is claimed is: 
     
         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 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 
 where the body portion and the ear-bud portion are positionable to vary the distance between the body portion and the ear-bud portion. 
   
     
     
         2 . 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 a clipping distance at the bottom of the ear-bud portion. 
     
     
         3 . The wireless headset system of  claim 2  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. 
     
     
         4 . 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. 
     
     
         5 . The wireless headset system of  claim 2 , 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. 
     
     
         6 . The wireless headset system of claim I wherein the body portion comprises a microphone component operatively coupled with the wireless communications component. 
     
     
         7 . The wireless headset system of claim I 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. 
     
     
         8 . The wireless headset system of  claim 1  wherein the neck portion is curved. 
     
     
         9 . The wireless headset system of  claim 1  further comprising a battery in the housing. 
     
     
         10 . The wireless headset system of  claim 9  wherein the body portion terminates with an electronic connector coupled with the battery. 
     
     
         11 . The wireless headset system of  claim 10  wherein the electronic connector is a USB connector. 
     
     
         12 . The wireless headset system of  claim 1  wherein the body portion comprises at least one of a display and a camera. 
     
     
         13 . The wireless headset system of  claim 1  further comprising a flexible printed circuit board in the housing. 
     
     
         14 . 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 flexible material, the flexible material inwardly flexible to vary at least the clipping distance. 
     
     
         15 . The wireless headset system of  claim 2  wherein the body end of the neck portion coupled with the body portion forms a joint. 
     
     
         16 . The wireless headset system of  claim 15  wherein the joint is constructed at least in part of a stretchable material. 
     
     
         17 . 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 about the joint. 
     
     
         18 . 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. 
     
     
         19 . The wireless headset system of  claim 1  wherein the wireless communications component communicates with the wireless host device using Bluetooth communications. 
     
     
         20 . The wireless headset system of  claim 19  wherein the wireless communications component can be paired to the wireless host device and at least a second host device.
