  • Patent number: 9414154
    Abstract: A water-repellent earphone is formed of a main body and a water-repellent breathable member. The main body includes a receiving space for accommodating a speaker. The speaker partitions the receiving space to make a rear chamber. The main body includes a drainage tunnel communication with a first opening and a second opening, both of which are located on an external surface of the main body. The main body further includes a venthole communicating with the drainage tunnel and the rear chamber. The water-repellent breathable member is formed and located at the venthole. In light of the structure mentioned above, the drainage tunnel can help the earphone quickly expel the moisture to prevent the moisture from damage to the speaker and to boost the frequency response and acoustic performance within the low-frequency range.

  • Patent number: 8597061
    Abstract: An earphone plug applicable to different system specifications includes a terminal and a switch device. The earphone plug is inserted into an earphone jack of an external electronic device for transmitting signals by a plurality of exposed signal interfaces of the terminal. The switch device combined with the terminal has a first conductor and a second conductor. When the switch device is switched between a first mode and a second mode, the first conductor and the second conductor alternately contact with two of the signal interfaces. Thus, the signal transmission defined by the signal interfaces is changed and the earphone plug is applicable to electronic devices with different system specifications.

  • Patent number: 8467561
    Abstract: An earphone device with a function of sound quality regulation is provided. The earphone includes a housing, a cover, a speaker and a regulating device. The housing has an accommodating space for receiving the speaker and a plurality of regulating holes for connecting the accommodating space to the outside. One end of the regulating device is fixed on the cover. A blocking portion, which is disposed on the other end of the regulating device and extends into the accommodating space, can partially or completely block the regulating holes when the cover is turned, thereby regulating the leakage between the accommodating space and the outside to achieve different output sound quality.

  • Publication number: 20120257780
    Abstract: An earphone structure with no-section-difference design is provided, including an earphone casing, a transmission wire and a strain relief thereof. The earphone casing has a joining end to join with a joining section of the transmission wire The strain relief is formed at where the earphone casing and the transmission wire are joined. Along from the earphone casing to the transmission wire, diameter of the strain relief decreases progressively to a same diameter with that of the transmission wire, thereby providing a no-section-difference exterior look thereof between the strain relief and the transmission wire.

  • Publication number: 20110182457
    Abstract: An in-ear earphone with a capacitive sensing function is provided. The earphone includes a case, a speaker, a circuit board, and a capacitive sensing unit. The case has an extension tube and an accommodating portion. An ear tip is sleeved on the extension tube. The accommodating portion accommodates the speaker, the circuit board, and the capacitive sensing unit. A sound emitting surface of the speaker faces the extension tube. The circuit board is electrically connected to the speaker, and a sensing chip is disposed on the circuit board. The capacitive sensing unit includes a sensor and a conducting element. The sensor is electrically connected to the sensing chip through the conducting element.
