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.
