ABSTRACT
A simple technique which changes regular headphones into input-and-output devices is proposed. It detects headphone taps and also captures user's voice. Two prototypes are implemented. Users can control music players and have phone conversation via their favorite headphones without attaching external switches or microphones. We confirm that they work well with many headphones in various environments.

Tap control for headphones without sensors
UIST '11: Proceedings of the 24th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyA tap control technique for headphones is proposed. A simple circuit is used to detect tapping of the headphone shell by using the speaker unit in the headphone as a tap sensor. No additional devices are required in the headphone shell and cable, so the ...
The use of an artificial neural network for acoustic selections headphone filters
AbstractThe article aims to examine the influence of various acoustic materials on the usable properties of headphones. Acoustic materials act as filters that modify the incident acoustic waves by attenuating specific frequency components of the acoustic ...
Phantom Materialization: A Novel Method to Enhance Stereo Audio Reproduction on Headphones
Loudspeaker reproduction systems are subject to a compromise between spatial realism and cost. By simulating loudspeaker reproduction on headphones, the resulting spatial realism is limited accordingly, despite the virtually unlimited spatial imaging ...
