Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone technology, and in particular to a headphone. Background Technology
[0002] The use of ear-hook headphones has brought many conveniences to people's lives. Ear-hook headphones secure the headphones to the ears with ear hooks, making them less likely to slip off and suitable for use during exercise or activities.
[0003] However, the existing ear hook design is not ergonomic and the material is relatively hard, resulting in poor wearing comfort for ear hook headphones. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an earphone with good wearing comfort, thereby solving the problem of poor wearing comfort in related technologies.
[0005] This utility model embodiment provides an earphone, including:
[0006] Headphone body;
[0007] The ear hook includes a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is connected to the main body of the earphone. When worn, the main body of the earphone is located at the front of the ear, and the ear hook wraps around the upper earlobe. The ear hook located at the back of the ear fits snugly against the back of the ear.
[0008] The ear hook includes a soft rubber layer, the soft rubber layer includes a hollow air cushion, the hollow air cushion includes a contact surface, and in the wearing state, the contact surface is in contact with the back of the ear;
[0009] The hollowed-out air cushion includes multiple openings spaced apart along the extension direction of the ear hook, and the contact surface is a wavy arc surface in the extension direction of the ear hook.
[0010] The headphones provided in this application embodiment, by setting a headphone body, can have a sound-generating device, a battery, and a circuit board installed on the headphone body, thereby realizing the headphone's sound-generating function. By setting an ear hook and fixing the ear hook's connecting end to the headphone body, the connection stability between the ear hook and the headphone body can be improved. Furthermore, when the headphones are worn on the user's ears, the ear hook can help keep the headphones in a relatively fixed position, preventing the headphones from falling and causing damage.
[0011] By incorporating a soft rubber layer into the ear hooks, the design effectively prevents the headphones from slipping during wear, providing a more stable fit, especially suitable for sports. Additionally, the soft rubber material offers good abrasion and tear resistance, withstanding the pulling and bending of everyday use and extending the headphones' lifespan. Furthermore, the soft rubber material is typically lightweight, not adding to the overall weight of the headphones and reducing the burden of wearing them for extended periods.
[0012] By setting a hollow air cushion on the soft rubber layer, and setting the hollow air cushion to include multiple openings spaced apart along the extension direction of the ear hook, and the contact surface having a wavy arc surface in the extension direction of the ear hook, the hollow air cushion can undergo local deformation when worn, reducing local pressure on the back of the ear, increasing the breathability of the ear hook, and improving wearing comfort.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the area of the plurality of openings gradually increases in the direction from the connecting end to the free end.
[0014] This design allows the area of the opening from the connecting end to the free end of the ear hook to gradually increase, thereby gradually increasing the elasticity of the ear hook from the connecting end to the free end. It also allows the elasticity of the hollow air cushion in the direction from the connecting end to the free end of the ear hook to gradually increase. Since the curvature of the back of the auricle is variable, this design is more in line with the ergonomics of the human ear. This helps to evenly distribute the pressure applied by the ear hook to the auricle, reduce local pressure points, and further improve wearing comfort.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the contact surface has a smooth arcuate structure in the circumferential direction of the ear loop.
[0016] By designing the contact surface into a smooth arc shape on the circumference of the ear hook, the contact surface can conform to the curvature of the auricle when worn, increasing the contact area with the auricle, reducing the pressure of the ear hook on the auricle, providing a more comfortable wearing experience, and reducing discomfort caused by wearing for a long time.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the ear hook further includes a memory metal wire, the memory metal wire being elastic; wherein,
[0018] The soft rubber layer covers the outside of the memory metal wire.
[0019] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, "memory metal wire" refers to an elastic metal component with "memory" shape function, which can deform under external force and can completely restore the original pre-constructed shape after the external force is removed.
[0020] By incorporating memory metal wires within the soft rubber layer, the wires offer excellent plasticity, allowing users to adjust the ear hook to fit their ear shape more closely, thus improving wearing comfort and stability. Furthermore, the memory metal wires within the soft rubber layer enable the ear hook to spring back to its original shape after deformation, generating a clamping force on the ear. The addition of memory metal wires not only ensures structural strength despite the relatively thin ear hook thickness but also increases the overall opening range of the ear hook, thereby enhancing wearing comfort.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the ear hook further includes a connecting portion; wherein,
[0022] The connecting part is located at the connecting end of the ear hook. One end of the connecting part is connected to the memory metal wire, and the other end passes through the soft rubber layer and extends beyond the soft rubber layer.
[0023] The connecting part is used to connect the ear hook to the headphone body.
[0024] By incorporating a connecting part into the ear hook, it facilitates easy connection to the earphone body. This connecting part provides a sturdy connection point, ensuring a more stable connection between the ear hook and the earphone body and reducing potential wobbling or loosening during use. By connecting one end of the connecting part to the memory metal wire and the other end passing through the soft rubber layer and extending beyond it, the soft rubber layer can come into contact with the user's skin, providing a soft and comfortable wearing experience and reducing ear discomfort during prolonged wear. This design also ensures the structural integrity of the ear hook, reducing the risk of loosening between parts.
[0025] In one possible implementation, the ear hook further includes a support portion; wherein,
[0026] The support portion is located at the free end of the ear hook, within the soft rubber layer, and connected to the memory metal wire.
[0027] By incorporating a support section and connecting it to the memory metal wire, the support section provides support and fixation for the end of the memory metal wire, ensuring that it maintains its intended shape and position during use. By placing the support section inside the soft rubber layer, the force borne by the ear hook can be distributed more evenly, reducing the impact of single-point pressure on the ear and improving wearing comfort.
[0028] In one possible implementation, both the connecting part and the supporting part are rigid plastic structures.
[0029] By using rigid plastic structures for both the connectors and supports, their support function can be enhanced, improving stability. Furthermore, rigid plastic materials are generally less expensive than materials like metals, providing good performance without significantly increasing production costs.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the memory metal wire is a memory titanium wire.
[0031] This design enhances headphone comfort. The memory titanium wire boasts excellent elasticity and flexibility, allowing it to adjust to the wearer's ear shape for a more comfortable fit. Its high strength and fatigue resistance enable it to withstand repeated bending and stretching, preventing breakage and extending the headphone's lifespan. The low density of the memory titanium wire contributes to the headphone's lighter weight, reducing strain during extended wear. The memory titanium wire can return to its preset shape at specific temperatures, meaning the headphones maintain a compact shape when not in use, facilitating storage and portability. Titanium's excellent corrosion resistance ensures stability in humid environments, preventing rust and making it suitable for long-term use. Furthermore, the memory titanium wire remains stable across a wide temperature range, ensuring that changes in ambient temperature do not affect the headphone's performance.
[0032] In one possible implementation, the diameter of the memory titanium wire is between 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm.
[0033] It's worth noting that the 0.6mm-0.8mm memory titanium wire is quite thin, making it suitable for headphone components requiring delicate and complex designs, such as ear hooks and headphone frames, enabling more intricate structures. The thinner titanium wire further reduces the weight of the headphones, making them lighter and less burdensome to wear, thus enhancing user comfort. Additionally, the low density of titanium alloy allows for sufficient strength while maintaining the lightweight nature of the ear hooks, reducing the burden of wearing them. Despite its smaller diameter, the memory titanium wire still possesses high strength, providing ample support and stability to ensure the ear hooks are not easily deformed or broken during use.
[0034] In one possible implementation, in a first direction, the earphone body includes a top surface and a bottom surface that are opposite to each other, the top surface being close to the connecting end of the ear hook, and the bottom surface being close to the free end of the ear hook; wherein...
[0035] The maximum gap between the ear hook located on the side of the top surface opposite to the bottom surface and the headphone body is between 14 mm and 16 mm.
[0036] This design ensures that the gap between the ear hook and the earphone body conforms to an ergonomic setting, enhancing wearing comfort. The appropriate gap ensures that the ear hook is not too tight or compresses the ear, providing a comfortable wearing experience. A gap of 14mm to 16mm allows the ear hook to easily wrap around the ear, fitting ears of different sizes and shapes. This 14mm to 16mm gap provides sufficient space to ensure the ear hook is securely fixed to the ear, preventing it from being too tight or too loose due to excessive spacing. The 14mm to 16mm gap also helps distribute the pressure exerted on the ear, reducing pressure points and discomfort that may occur during prolonged wear.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the distance from the free end of the ear hook to the central axis of the headphone body in the first direction ranges from 18 mm to 22 mm.
[0038] This design, with a distance of 18mm to 22mm, provides sufficient length for the ear hooks to ensure stability when wearing the headphones, especially during exercise or rapid movement, effectively preventing them from slipping off. This distance range generally fits well with most people's ear shapes and sizes, ensuring the ear hooks naturally surround the ear without causing pressure or discomfort. This distance range accommodates different users' ear sizes and shapes, providing broader applicability and reducing discomfort caused by individual differences. It also helps to distribute the weight of the headphones evenly on the ear, reducing pressure on any single area and improving comfort during extended wear. Furthermore, it provides sufficient leverage for the ear hooks to more effectively secure the headphones while providing the necessary comfort.
[0039] In one possible implementation, the air cushion extends from the free end of the ear hook along the extension direction of the ear hook toward the connecting end of the ear hook, and the air cushion is spaced apart from the connecting end of the ear hook.
[0040] Since the free end of the ear hook is usually in contact with the ear, placing a hollowed-out air cushion here can effectively reduce the pressure on the ear and improve wearing comfort. The hollowed-out air cushion provides extra support and cushioning at the free end of the ear hook, helping to fix the ear hook more securely on the ear and reducing the possibility of slippage and displacement, especially during sports.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0056] The earphone of this utility model embodiment will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides an earphone 100, which may include an earphone body 110 and an ear hook 120. The ear hook 120 may include a connecting end 121 and a free end 122. The connecting end 121 is connected to the earphone body 110. In the wearing state, as... Figure 2 As shown, the headphone body 110 is located at the front of the ear 200, the ear hook 120 goes around the upper ear root of the ear 200, and the ear hook 120 located at the back of the ear 200 fits against the back of the ear 200.
[0058] It should be noted that the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120 is used to connect to the headphone body 110, and the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 is not connected to the headphone body 110. This is so that the ear hook 120 is separated from the headphone body 110 except for the connecting end 121, so that the headphone can be worn on the user's ear 200 by changing the shape of the ear hook 120 when wearing it.
[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the ear hook 120 may include a soft rubber layer 123, the soft rubber layer 123 includes a hollowed-out air cushion 1231, and the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 includes a contact surface 1232. In the wearing state, the contact surface 1232 is in contact with the back of the ear 200. The hollowed-out air cushion 1231 includes a plurality of openings 1233 spaced apart along the extension direction of the ear hook 120, and the contact surface 1232 has a wavy arc surface in the extension direction of the ear hook 120.
[0060] For example, in the direction (s direction) from the connecting end 121 to the free end 122, the area of the plurality of openings 1233 gradually increases.
[0061] This design allows the area of the opening from the connecting end 121 to the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 to gradually increase, thereby gradually increasing the elasticity of the ear hook 120 from the connecting end 121 to the free end 122. It also allows the elasticity of the hollow air cushion 1231 in the direction from the connecting end 121 to the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 to gradually increase. Since the curvature of the back of the auricle is variable, this design is more in line with the ergonomics of the human ear. This helps to evenly distribute the pressure applied by the ear hook 120 to the auricle, reduce local pressure points, and further improve wearing comfort.
[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the opening areas of the multiple openings 1233 can be set to be the same, which can facilitate processing and reduce processing costs. In the embodiments of this application, there is no further limitation on whether the opening areas of the multiple openings 1233 are the same.
[0063] It should be noted that the extension direction of the ear hook 120 refers to the direction of length as commonly understood. However, the extension direction of the ear hook 120 changes depending on its shape and is not limited to a straight line. As shown in the figure, direction 's' represents the extension direction of the ear hook 120, and also the direction from the connecting end 121 to the free end 122.
[0064] For example, the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 and the soft rubber layer 123 can be integrally formed, or the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 can be fixedly connected to the software layer. In this embodiment, the connection method between the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 and the software layer is not further limited.
[0065] The earphone 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting an earphone body 110, can have a sound-generating device, a battery, and a circuit board mounted on the earphone body 110, thereby realizing the earphone's sound-generating function. By setting an ear hook 120 and fixing the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120 to the earphone body 110, the connection stability between the ear hook 120 and the earphone body 110 can be improved. Furthermore, when the earphone 100 is worn on the user's ear 200, the ear hook 120 can help keep the earphone in a relatively fixed position, preventing the earphone from falling off and causing damage.
[0066] By incorporating a soft rubber layer 123 into the ear hook 120, the soft rubber material, which typically has a high coefficient of friction, effectively prevents the headphones from slipping during wear, providing a more stable wearing experience, especially suitable for use during exercise. Furthermore, the soft rubber material has good abrasion resistance and tear resistance, able to withstand the pulling and bending of daily use, extending the lifespan of the headphones. The soft rubber material is generally lightweight, not increasing the overall weight of the headphones, reducing the burden of wearing them, and making them suitable for extended use.
[0067] For example, the material of the soft adhesive layer 123 can be silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, polyurethane, rubber, etc. In this embodiment, the material of the soft adhesive layer 123 is not further limited.
[0068] In the example, the soft rubber layer 123 is located on the outer structure of the ear hook 120, allowing direct contact with the user's skin during use. The hollowed-out air cushion 1231 is positioned on the side of the ear hook 120 facing the ear 200 when worn. This reduces localized pressure between the ear hook 120 and the ear 200, improving wearing comfort.
[0069] By setting a hollow air cushion 1231 on the soft rubber layer 123, and setting the hollow air cushion 1231 to include multiple openings 1233 spaced apart along the extension direction of the ear hook 120, and the contact surface 1232 to be a wavy arc surface in the extension direction of the ear hook 120, the hollow air cushion 1231 can undergo local deformation when worn, reducing the local pressure on the back of the ear 200, increasing the breathability of the ear hook 120, and improving the wearing comfort.
[0070] It should be noted that the multiple openings 1233 included in the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 can be evenly arranged along the extension direction of the ear hook 120, which can improve the aesthetics of the headphones.
[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the openings 1233 on the hollow air cushion 1231 can also be unevenly arranged, as long as there are multiple openings 1233. In addition, the shape of the openings 1233 can be elliptical, circular, square, etc. In this embodiment, the shape and number of openings 1233 are not further limited.
[0072] By providing the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 with openings 1233, the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 can have a certain deformation space at the openings 1233. This allows the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 to undergo local deformation when worn, reducing local pressure on the back of the ear 200, increasing the breathability of the ear hook 120, and improving wearing comfort.
[0073] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the contact surface 1232 has a smooth arc-shaped structure in the circumferential direction of the ear hook 120.
[0074] By setting the contact surface 1232 in a smooth arc shape on the circumference of the ear hook 120, the contact surface 1232 can fit the arc of the auricle when worn, increasing the contact area with the auricle, reducing the pressure of the ear hook 120 on the auricle, providing a more comfortable wearing experience, and reducing the discomfort caused by wearing for a long time.
[0075] For example, the arc shape can be Figure 4The outward-protruding arc shape can also be an inward-concave arc shape (not shown in the figure). Both arc structures can fit the back of the auricle, reducing pressure on the auricle and improving wearing comfort.
[0076] In one possible implementation, the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 extends from the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 along the extension direction of the ear hook 120 toward the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120, and the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 is spaced apart from the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120.
[0077] Since the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 is usually in contact with the ear 200, the air cushion 1231 placed there can effectively reduce the pressure of the ear hook 120 on the ear 200, improving wearing comfort. The air cushion 1231 provides additional support and cushioning at the free end 122 of the ear hook 120, helping the ear hook 120 to be more securely fixed to the ear 200, reducing the possibility of slippage and displacement, especially during exercise.
[0078] Of course, in other embodiments, the hollow air cushion 1231 may extend from other positions. In this embodiment, the position and length of the hollow air cushion 1231 in the extension direction of the ear hook 120 are not further limited.
[0079] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the ear hook 120 also includes a shape memory metal wire 124, which is elastic. A soft rubber layer 123 covers the outer side of the shape memory metal wire 124.
[0080] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, "memory metal wire 124" refers to an elastic metal component with "memory" shape function, which can deform under external force and can completely restore the original pre-constructed shape after the external force is removed.
[0081] By incorporating a memory metal wire 124 within the soft rubber layer 123, the memory metal wire possesses excellent plasticity, allowing users to adjust the ear hook 120 to better conform to the ear's contour, thereby improving wearing comfort and stability. Furthermore, by incorporating the memory metal wire 124 within the soft rubber layer 123, the ear hook 120 can spring back to its original shape after deformation, thus generating a clamping force on the ear. The addition of the memory metal wire 124 not only ensures structural strength while maintaining a relatively thin ear hook 120 but also increases the overall opening range of the ear hook 120, thereby enhancing wearing comfort.
[0082] See also Figure 5As shown, the ear hook 120 may further include a connecting portion 125 and a supporting portion 126. The connecting portion 125 is located at the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120. One end of the connecting portion 125 is connected to the memory metal wire 124, and the other end passes through the soft rubber layer 123 and extends beyond the soft rubber layer 123. The connecting portion 125 is used to connect the ear hook 120 to the headphone body 110. The supporting portion 126 is located at the free end 122 of the ear hook 120. The supporting portion 126 is located within the soft rubber layer 123 and is connected to the memory metal wire 124.
[0083] For example, part of the structure of the connecting part 125 is covered inside the soft rubber layer 123, and one end is connected to the memory metal wire 124, while the other end is located on the outside of the soft rubber layer 123 so as to be fixedly connected to the headphone body 110.
[0084] In some embodiments, the headphone body 110 may include a housing 111 and a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity houses a sound-generating device, a battery, and a circuit board. The housing 111 has a sound outlet 112 so that the sound emitted by the sound-generating device can be transmitted outside the housing 111 through the sound outlet 112. The connecting portion 125, located outside the soft rubber layer 123, is disposed inside the housing 111 and fixedly connected to it. This allows the connecting portion 125 to be concealed between the housing 111 and the soft layer, improving the aesthetics of the headphones.
[0085] By incorporating a connecting portion 125 into the ear hook 120, it can be easily connected to the headphone body 110. The connecting portion 125 provides a robust connection point, making the connection between the ear hook 120 and the headphone body 110 more stable and reducing potential shaking or loosening during use. By connecting one end of the connecting portion 125 to the memory metal wire 124 and the other end through and extending beyond the soft rubber layer 123, the soft rubber layer 123 can come into contact with the user's skin, providing a soft and comfortable wearing experience and reducing ear discomfort during prolonged wear. This design ensures the structural integrity of the ear hook 120 and reduces the risk of loosening between parts.
[0086] By providing a support portion 126 and connecting it to the memory metal wire 124, the support portion 126 provides support and fixation for the tail of the memory metal wire 124, ensuring that the memory metal wire 124 maintains its set shape and position during use. By placing the support portion 126 inside the soft rubber layer 123, the force borne by the ear hook 120 can be distributed more evenly, reducing the impact of single-point pressure on the ear 200 and improving wearing comfort.
[0087] In one possible implementation, both the connecting portion 125 and the supporting portion 126 are rigid plastic structures. Exemplarily, the material of this rigid plastic structure can be ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, etc. In this embodiment, the material of the rigid plastic structure is not further limited.
[0088] By making both the connecting part 125 and the supporting part 126 into rigid plastic structures, the supporting effect of the connecting part 125 and the supporting part 126 can be improved, thus enhancing stability. In addition, rigid plastic materials are generally less expensive than materials such as metals, and can provide good performance without significantly increasing production costs.
[0089] In one possible implementation, the memory wire 124 can be a memory titanium wire.
[0090] This design enhances headphone comfort. The memory titanium wire boasts excellent elasticity and flexibility, allowing it to adjust to the wearer's ear shape for a more comfortable fit. Its high strength and fatigue resistance enable it to withstand repeated bending and stretching, preventing breakage and extending the headphone's lifespan. The low density of the memory titanium wire contributes to the headphone's lighter weight, reducing strain during extended wear. The memory titanium wire can return to its preset shape at specific temperatures, meaning the headphones maintain a compact shape when not in use, facilitating storage and portability. Titanium's excellent corrosion resistance ensures stability in humid environments, preventing rust and making it suitable for long-term use. Furthermore, the memory titanium wire remains stable across a wide temperature range, ensuring that changes in ambient temperature do not affect the headphone's performance.
[0091] In one possible implementation, the diameter of the memory titanium wire ranges from 0.6 mm to 0.8 mm. For example, the diameter of the memory titanium wire can be 0.6 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.8 mm, etc. In this embodiment, the diameter of the memory titanium wire is not further limited.
[0092] It's worth noting that the 0.6mm-0.8mm memory titanium wire is relatively thin, making it suitable for headphone components requiring delicate and complex designs, such as the ear hook 120 and headphone frames, enabling more intricate structures. The thinner titanium wire further reduces the weight of the headphones, making them lighter and less burdensome to wear, thus enhancing user comfort. Additionally, the low density of titanium alloy allows the use of 0.6mm to 0.8mm memory titanium wire to provide sufficient strength while maintaining the lightweight nature of the ear hook 120, reducing the burden of wearing it. Despite its small diameter, the memory titanium wire still possesses high strength, providing sufficient support and stability to ensure that the ear hook 120 is not easily deformed or broken during use.
[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, in the first direction (x direction in the figure), the headphone body 110 includes a top surface and a bottom surface that are opposite to each other. The top surface is close to the connecting end 121 of the ear hook 120, and the bottom surface is close to the free end 122 of the ear hook 120. The maximum gap L1 between the ear hook 120 located on the side of the top surface opposite to the bottom surface and the headphone body 110 is between 14 mm and 16 mm.
[0094] This design ensures that the gap between the ear hook 120 and the headphone body 110 conforms to an ergonomic setting, improving wearing comfort. The appropriate gap ensures that the ear hook 120 is not too tight or compresses the ear 200 during wear, providing a comfortable wearing experience. A gap of 14 mm to 16 mm allows the ear hook 120 to easily wrap around the auricle, fitting ears 200 of different sizes and shapes. This 14 mm to 16 mm gap provides sufficient space to ensure the ear hook 120 is securely fixed to the ear 200, preventing it from being too tight due to a small gap or too loose due to a large gap. The 14 mm to 16 mm gap also helps to distribute the pressure exerted by the ear hook 120 on the ear 200, reducing pressure points and discomfort that may occur during prolonged wear.
[0095] For example, the maximum gap L1 between the ear hook 120 located on the top surface away from the bottom surface and the headphone body 110 can be 14 mm, 14.5 mm, 15 mm, 15.5 mm, 16 mm, etc. In this embodiment, the maximum gap L1 between the ear hook 120 located on the top surface away from the bottom surface and the headphone body 110 is not further limited.
[0096] See also Figure 6 As shown, in the first direction (x direction in the figure), the distance L2 from the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 to the central axis n of the headphone body 110 ranges from 18 mm to 22 mm.
[0097] This design, with a distance of 18mm to 22mm, provides sufficient length for the ear hooks 120 to ensure stability when wearing the headphones, especially during exercise or rapid movement, effectively preventing the headphones 100 from slipping off. This distance range generally fits well with the shape and size of most people's ears 200, ensuring that the ear hooks 120 can naturally surround the auricle without causing pressure or discomfort. This distance range can accommodate different users' ear sizes and shapes, providing wider applicability and reducing discomfort caused by individual differences. It also helps to distribute the weight of the headphones evenly on the ears 200, reducing pressure on any single area and improving comfort during extended wear. Furthermore, it provides sufficient leverage for the ear hooks 120 to more effectively secure the headphones 100 while providing the necessary comfort.
[0098] For example, the distance L2 from the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 to the central axis of the headphone body 110 can be 18 mm, 18.5 mm, 19 mm, 19.5 mm, 20 mm, 20.5 mm, 21 mm, 21.5 mm, 22 mm, etc. In this embodiment, the distance L2 from the free end 122 of the ear hook 120 to the central axis of the headphone body 110 is not further limited.
[0099] The earphone 100 in this embodiment of the application provides a hollowed-out air cushion 1231 on the ear hook 120. The hollowed-out air cushion 1231 includes a plurality of openings 1233 spaced apart along the extension direction of the ear hook 120, and the contact surface 1232 is a wavy arc surface in the extension direction of the ear hook 120. In this way, the hollowed-out air cushion 1231 can undergo local deformation when worn, reducing the local pressure on the back of the ear 200, increasing the breathability of the ear hook 120, and improving the wearing comfort.
