Headphone

The present invention can easily improve a close contact property between an ear pad and a temporal region at low cost. The headphonecomprises a driver unit, a baffle memberthat holds the driver unit, an ear padthat is attached to the baffle member, and a housingthat is attached to the baffle member and accommodate the driver unit. The earpads includes a ring-shaped body part. The baffle member has a facing surfacethat faces the body part. A direction in which the body part is disposed with respect to the baffle member is the first direction, and a direction in which the housing is disposed with respect to the baffle member is the second direction. At least a part of the facing surface is an inclined part that is inclined to the second direction from the outer edge of the facing surface toward the inner edge of the facing surface or a curved surface that is curved to the second direction from the outer edge of the facing surface toward the inner edge of the facing surface.

Headphone and earmuff

Provided is a headphone device including: a pair of headphone units; a headband curved in the longitudinal direction and supporting the pair of headphone units at each end in the longitudinal direction; and a pair of slide mechanisms interposed between the headphone unit and the headband and relatively varying the distance between the headphone unit and the headband, wherein the slide mechanism includes a slide member and a slide guide holding member, the slide member has a pair of slide guides extending in the extending direction of the headband so as to face each other and a plurality of engaging portions are provided along the sliding direction of the slide guides on the side of at least one slide guide facing the other slide guide, and the slide guide holding member includes an engagement urging portion selectively engaged with one of the engaging portions and slidably holds the slide member.

Earphone

Headset

An earphone includes a first driver units reproducing sound waves in a high-frequency range, a second driver units reproducing sound waves other than the high-frequency range of the first driver units, and a unit case for housing the respective driver units and a sound delivery tube for leading sound waves from the driver units to a user's ear canal, the sound delivery tube being formed to communicate with the unit case. A sound emission axis of the first driver units and a sound emission axis of the second driver units are disposed in parallel to each other, and the sound emission axis of the first driver unit passes through in an opening of the sound delivery tube. This construction, including multiple driver units for producing different frequency ranges, allows to provide an earphone in which attenuation of high-frequency components in particular is reduced.
