Abstract
It is intended to improve usability while securing functionality of a sound output device. There are provided: a neck band to be worn on a user's neck and having an insertion hole; a cable partially led out from the neck band; and an earphone connected to the cable. The cable can be drawn out from the neck band to both sides of the insertion hole, and a length of a portion on both sides of the insertion hole in the cable is changed by changing a position of an inserted portion of the cable in the insertion hole. Since a length of each portion of the cable positioned on both sides of the insertion hole is changed by changing a position of the inserted portion of the cable, it is possible to improve usability while securing functionality of the sound output device.
