  • Patent number: 10959005
    Abstract: A headphone in which the air pressure in a front cavity can be released to an external space, and whose characteristics in a low frequency range can be simply and finely adjusted is provided. The headphone includes: a driver unit; a baffle member holding the driver unit; the passage forming member attached to the baffle member and forming a vent passage with the baffle member; an ear pad defining a first space; and a cover member defining a second space. The baffle member includes: a first surface facing the first space; a second surface facing the second space; and a first through hole communicating with an internal space of the vent passage. The passage forming member includes a second through hole communicating with the internal space of the vent passage. The second space communicates with an external space of the cover member. The first space communicates with the second space through the first through hole, the vent passage, and the second through hole.

  • Publication number: 20200015000
    Abstract: The present invention provides an earphone having an improved balance between sound waves in a low-frequency range and in a high-frequency range. The earphone according to the present invention includes a diaphragm, and a sound emission surface that is spaced away from a front surface of the diaphragm. The sound emission surface includes a sound passing hole and a vent hole that sound waves generated by vibration of the diaphragm pass through. The sound emission surface is bulbous or dome shaped with a peripheral edge extending to a top part. The sound passing hole is disposed closer to the peripheral edge of the sound emission surface as compared to the vent hole. The vent hole is disposed closer to the top part of the sound emission surface as compared to the sound passing hole.

  • Patent number: 10511900
    Abstract: A headphone includes a driver unit 2, the first housing 4 that forms a first air chamber 11 on a back side of the driver unit 2, the second housing 5 that forms a second air chamber 12 on an opposite side of an inner surface different from an inner surface where the driver unit 2 is provided in the first housing 4, and a damper 61 provided in the second housing 5. In the first housing 4, an opening 44 that communicates between the first air chamber 11 and the second air chamber 12 is formed.

  • Patent number: 10249287
    Abstract: A headphone includes a feedback microphone that receives a front air chamber sound including an external sound, the feedback microphone being provided on a front air chamber side, a driver unit that emits a noise-canceling sound into the front air chamber, the noise-canceling sound canceling at least a part of the sound included in the front air chamber sound received by the feedback microphone, a balanced microphone that receives the noise-canceling sound emitted from the driver unit, the balanced microphone being provided in a region on a side of the driver unit opposite the front air chamber, and a sound generating part that generates the noise-canceling sound by adding a signal based on the noise-canceling sound received by the balanced microphone to a signal based on the front air chamber sound received by the feedback microphone.
