Abstract: To provide a wearable device a part of which directly comes in contact with the skin of a living body includes silicone foam and which is excellent in durability and comfortability. An earpiece 150 includes a core 152 that is attached to a sound conduit 140, and an ear canal attachment section 156 that is attached to an outer side of the core 152 and comes into contact with an ear canal inner wall of a wearer. The ear canal attachment section 156 over the entire exterior of which soft silicone foam, which is a foamed material, is disposed, can keep close contact with an ear canal and comfortable wearability, while the core 152 made from silicone rubber allows a tip portion of the sound conduit 140 to have a shape to be easily wound, which prevents a sound path from being blocked.

Abstract: An earpiece including a tubular core portion attached to an end of an electro-acoustic transducer and extending in an acoustic wave output direction, and an external auditory canal fitting portion disposed outside the core portion to cover an end surface of the core portion and having lower hardness than the core portion is provided. This maintains appropriate flexibility of the external auditory canal fitting portion covering the end surface of the core portion and forms the core portion with appropriate hardness. This eliminates sound quality degradation due to the core portion deformation, earpiece detachment and contact of the core portion with the external auditory canal. Consequently, this improves fitting properties with the external auditory canal and attachment properties with the electro-acoustic transducer.

Abstract: There is provided an earpiece comprising: a main unit having a cylindrical shape having made therein a through hole that can allow sound to be transmitted therethrough; a cap portion that has a film-like shape which is formed to extend from all around a front-end surface, in a direction of making the through hole, of the main unit toward a rear-end surface side, and which covers at least a portion of the main unit on the front-end surface side, and in which space between the main unit and the cap portion expands as it goes toward the rear-end surface side; and at least one cutting portion formed in the cap portion so that the cap portion can deform in a direction of the main unit.

Abstract: A headphone device includes: a driver unit held in the vicinity of the external acoustic meatus of an ear; and an arm in a predetermined shape formed integrally with the driver unit and extending from the driver unit, wherein an end of the arm is kept abutting on a part of the auricle near the base the auricle on a back side thereof to support the device at two support points provided by the driver unit and the end of the arm.

Abstract: In order to obtain an ear-hook headphone that is light and comfortable to wear, a supporting portion that supports a housing portion is provided in the vicinity of one end of an approximately U-shaped bend of an arm-shaped guide portion; a pushing portion that resiliently pushes from behind the auricle of a user toward the housing portion is provided in the vicinity of the other end; and a sound-outputting surface of the housing portion is disposed on the face side of the listener wearing the headphone to be approximately perpendicular to the surface formed by the bend of the arm-shaped guide portion. According to this construction, the housing portion can be easily accommodated in the earhole of the user's ear with the guide portion being slipped along the base of the user's ear, and the headphone can be reliably worn with the pushing portion resiliently pushing from behind his/her auricle.

Abstract: A headphone device having a headband assembly worn on the head and a headphone main body attached to one end of the headband assembly. The headphone device is provided with an ear device that prevents slipping when worn and stabilizes wearability. The headphone main body is attached to the headband assembly in a rotatable manner so that the axis of rotation may be inclined with the center line of the headphone main body. The headphone main body can be matched to the inclination of the ear and the headphone device has stabilized wearability, improved sound quality, and improved comfort when worn.

Abstract: A headphone device is comprised of a headband assembly worn on the head and a headphone main body attached to at least one end of the headband assembly. The headphone device is provided with an ear device that prevents slipping when worn and stabilizes wearability. The headphone main body is attached to the headband assembly in a rotatable manner so that the axis of rotation may be inclined with the center line of the headphone main body. Thus, the headphone main body can be and matched into the inclination of the ear and so the headphone device has stabilized wearability as well as an improved feeling when worn and sound quality.

Abstract: An earphone with an improved frequency response includes an electroacoustic transducer for converting an audio signal to an acoustic sound and an ear piece.
