The present invention is directed to reducing influence of crosstalk components by appropriately blocking a propagation path of the crosstalk components output from speakers that reproduce signals for right and left ears respectively. Provided is a contact member used in contact with a back and/or a back of a head of a listener. The contact member is installed with: a first speaker that reproduces a signal for the left ear and a second speaker that reproduces a signal for the right ear; and a propagation obstruction adapted to block a propagation path of crosstalk components output from the respective speakers.

Acoustic device

Provided is an in-vehicle electronic apparatus including a main body that includes a panel attaching/detaching part, and a panel that is attached to and detached from the panel attaching/detaching part. The panel attaching/detaching part is provided with a lock mechanism and a holding lever, the lock mechanism being arranged to lock the panel to the main body, the holding lever being rotatable and being arranged to hold the panel when the holding lever is rotated to a holding position. The panel is moved in a predetermined direction with respect to the main body such that locking of the panel to the main body by the lock mechanism is released. When the panel is moved in the predetermined direction such that the locking is released, the holding lever is rotated to the holding position due to inertia such that the panel is held by the holding lever.

In-vehicle electronic apparatus

In a vehicle audio apparatus, the detection switch is turned off when the lock claw is released from the lock-claw holder to open the front panel. The bi-directional switches are thereby turned off, disconnecting the data lines SD+and SD&#x2212; between the USB interface unit of the main unit and the USB socket of the front panel. Thereafter, the front panel is opened, releasing the connector () from the connectorand ultimately disconnecting the power-supply lines (VBUS and GND). Hence, the vehicle audio apparatus is prevented from being abruptly disconnected from the power supply. This prevents the data stored in the USB memory from being destroyed.
