1. An earpiece for sound delivery comprising:
- (a) a housing;
(b) a speaker having a speaker axis and located in said housing; and
,(c) a rotatable cap having a sound exit port configured to directly communicate sound from the speaker to an ear canal of a user when the earpiece is worn by the user, the sound being adjustably directable from the speaker away from the direction of the speaker axis towards the ear canal of the user such that adjustment of a primary direction of sound propagation from the earpiece is achieved without disassembly of the rotatable cap from the housing.

19. An earset sound delivery device comprising:
-
(a) support means to support a speaker having a speaker axis in the concha of a user'"'"'s ear; and (b) a rotatable cap rotatably coupled to said support means, the rotatable cap having a sound exit port configured to directly communicate sound from the speaker to an ear canal of a user when the earpiece is worn by the user, said rotatable cap being rotatable without uncoupling said rotatable coupled cap to various angles to accommodate anatomical differences among users, said rotatable cap configured to adjustably direct sound from the speaker away from the direction of the speaker axis towards the ear canal of a user such that adjustment of a primary direction of sound propagation from the earset sound delivery device is achieved. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
