Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of audio output equipment, and in particular to an earphone and related use and customization methods thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing headphone systems receive electrical signals representing audio sounds and convert them into audio sound waves through a driver unit. The driver unit includes a diaphragm that vibrates in response to the electrical signal, disturbing the surrounding air and generating audio sound waves. Existing headphone systems come in a variety of styles and offer varying levels of performance. Some headphones have sufficient low-frequency characteristics to respond well to lower-frequency input signals, while others have sufficient high-frequency characteristics to respond well to higher-frequency input signals. However, these headphones often fail to accurately reproduce input signals across a wide range of frequencies.

[0003] To this end, some high-quality headphones currently feature a combination of high, medium, and low-frequency speakers to reproduce input signals at various frequencies; however, this requires additional electronic components and complex control procedures. Other headphones controllably alter the acoustic performance by changing the volume of the space in front of and / or behind the diaphragm; however, this requires altering the overall geometry of the headphone, particularly for semi-in-ear and in-ear headphones. This shifts the center of gravity away from the user's ear, making it more susceptible to shaking or even falling out, and compromising the compactness of the headphones.

[0004] Furthermore, due to differences in the structure of the auricle, ear canal, and eardrum, as well as differences in listening habits, users experience different perceptions of the same sound output from the same headphones. Existing headphones are mostly universal and lack obvious and easily achievable customization, making it difficult for users to choose the headphones that best suit their listening needs.
