Problems solved by technology

In a product that cannot be switched to "passive", when the user forgets to turn off the power and the battery dies, the user is inconvenienced and abandons the product or uses an external battery case
[0005] Also, while there are products that can be switched to "passive", even this can be difficult to listen to while maximizing the performance of the product

Abstract

The present invention relates to an earphone device, a wearing state detection device and a wearing state detection method. An earphone device comprising: an outer microphone attached to a position where an external sound is picked up without passing through a shield in a state where a user wears the earphone device; an inner microphone attached to a position where the user wears the earphone device a position where an external sound is picked up via a shield in a state of the headphone device; a driver unit configured to perform acoustic output; and a wearing state detection unit configured to use a non-wearing state reference value and Wearing state reference value to detect wearing state or non-wearing state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an earphone device, a wearing state detection device for detecting whether a user is wearing the earphone device, and a wearing state detection method. Background technique [0002] Similar to earphones equipped with a so-called noise canceling system, wireless earphones corresponding to Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the like, there are earphones (active earphones) that include an active circuit inside and are equipped with a battery. [0003] After using active headphones, users often forget to turn off the power. If the user forgets to turn off the power after removing the headset, the battery will be drained and will often be drained the next time the headset is used. [0004] There are also products that use a dedicated built-in rechargeable battery in active headphones. In a product that cannot be switched to "passive", when the user forgets to turn off the power and the battery dies, the user feels inco...
