Abstract
An earphone includes a resonance circuit that outputs an adjusted signal obtained by making a signal component of a predetermined frequency contained in an electric signal outputted from a sound source device larger than a signal component of another frequency, a fixed electrode that is fixed to a housing, a diaphragm that is provided facing the fixed electrode and that vibrates according to a potential difference generated between the diaphragm and the fixed electrode on the basis of the adjusted signal, a contact part that contacts a partial region of the diaphragm and presses the partial region against the fixed electrode, and a sound emitting part that emits sound generated by vibration of the diaphragm to the outside of the housing.
