1. A personal use wireless extension listening device that wirelessly connects with an end-user wireless device, comprising:
a. a collar that has two end-members and a joining member, the joining member connects the two end-members, wherein, when the collar is worn around [ the ] neck of a human, the joining member is positioned behind the neck and two end-members are positioned on two collarbone areas below [ the ] ears and next to the neck;
b. the [ two ] end-members of the collar have positioned [ thereon ] directional speakers and [ a radiator including ] tilt mechanisms therein, the tilt mechanisms adjust the direction of the speakers for the speakers to radiate sound above in direction of the ears of the human wearing the collar around the neck, [ wherein the radiator is a disk that radiates an ultrasonic signal using a Piezo electric effect, wherein ] the personal use wireless extension listening device is used to listen to audio that is wirelessly received from an end-user wireless device; wherein the end-user wireless device is from a group of, a music system, a mobile wireless communication device, a desktop communication device, and an audio/video recording device [ , and wherein the directional speakers comprise an ultrasound frequency signal generator, an audio logic to produce an audio signal, and a modulator to modulate an ultra-sonic frequency carrier wave with the audio signal to direct audio sound towards the ears of the human] ; [ and ]
c. the end members [ each including: at least one antenna for the transmission and reception of wireless signals between the personal use wireless extension device and the end-user wireless device, wherein a transmitting pattern of a transmitting antenna in each of the end-members is oriented below the neck of the user; and circuitry that receives voice commands from the human to control the end-user wireless device] of the collar house integrated circuits with embedded logic, the embedded logic receives voice commands from the human and a device status from the end-user wireless device to control an operational mode for communication, music, computations, record, send and enter data and images in the end-user wireless device.
