Abstract

An audio system is provided. The audio system includes a sound tube, wherein at least a portion of the sound tube includes a rigid hollow tube portion, at least one answer button, at least one hang-up button, a digital audio player port, a wireless transceiver module, a spring clip, a microphone, and a pair of ear buds.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a sound tube, wherein at least a portion of the sound tube includes a rigid hollow tube portion;

at least one answer button;

at least one hang-up button;

a digital audio player port;

a wireless transceiver module;

a spring clip;

a microphone;

and a pair of ear buds;

wherein the system comprises an audio system.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system comprises a primary module, wherein the primary module comprises the wireless transceiver module, the at least one answer button, the at least one hang-up button, the charging port, the digital audio player port, the wireless transceiver module, and the microphone.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein a single button is used both as the answer button and as the hang-up button.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein a portion of the sound tube is a flexible portion.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the flexible portion of the sound tube is disposed between the ear buds and the rigid hollow tube portion.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the flexible portion of the sound tube is disposed between the primary module and the rigid hollow tube portion.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the spring clip is a stethoscope style spring clip.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless transceiver module is a Bluetooth®

transceiver module.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless transceiver module houses a battery, a speaker, and a transducer.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the battery is a rechargeable battery.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is capable of being charged wirelessly.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the microphone is adjustable and is capable of being positioned below or in front of a user'"'"'s mouth ensuring that the user'"'"'s voice is received loudly minimizing interference from any background noise.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein a user using the audio system with a mobile phone is capable of answering or hanging-up the mobile phone by pressing the answer button or the hang-up button on the audio system respectively or by using the answer link or hang-up link on the mobile phone respectively.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the system includes a charging port.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the system is connected to a suitable power system with wires via the charging port for charging the system.

16. A system comprising:

a sound tube, wherein at least a portion of the sound tube includes a rigid hollow tube portion;

at least one answer button;

at least one hang-up button;

a spring clip;

a microphone;

and a pair of ear buds;

wherein the system comprises an audio system;

wherein the wireless transceiver module comprises two small audio speakers;

wherein the audio system is capable of carrying a sound emitted from the two small audio speakers through the rigid hollow tube leading the sound to the pair of ear buds;

wherein the audio system is designed like a stethoscope;

wherein the spring clip comprises a leaf type spring clip capable of pulling the rigid hollow tubes together such that the ear buds are inserted into a user'"'"'s ears when in use or hug the neck of the user when not in use.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the system comprises a primary module, wherein the primary module comprises the wireless transceiver module, the at least one answer button, the at least one hang-up button, the charging port, the digital audio player port, the wireless transceiver module, and the microphone.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the system is capable of being charged wirelessly.

19. A system comprising:

a sound tube, wherein the sound tube includes a rigid hollow tube portion and a flexible tube portion;

a primary module comprising;

at least one answer button;
