Abstract
Provided is a headphone unit including a housing having a convex portion and accommodating a driver unit, a support in contact with part of the outer surface of the convex portion, and a frictional member in contact with the support and the outer surface of the convex portion. The frictional member generates greater friction against the convex portion than the friction between the support and the convex portion. The housing is swingably joined to the support.
