Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0038] Open-back headphones are increasingly popular due to their comfort (no pressure on the ear canal) and ability to maintain awareness of external sounds. However, this open sound, away from the ear canal, sacrifices sound quality and the user's immersive listening experience. Therefore, this invention designs a headphone that can freely switch between open-back and semi-in-ear styles, allowing users to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs to meet various listening requirements.

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 5-7, this utility model proposes an earphone 100. The earphone 100 of this utility model includes an earphone body 10, an earphone hook 20, and a power supply assembly. The earphone body 10 has a first magnetic component 11, and one end of the earphone hook 20 is provided with a second magnetic component 21. The first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically attracted to each other. The first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are configured to connect or separate the earphone body 10 and the earphone hook 20. The earphone hook 20 has a channel with a first opening and a second opening. The power supply assembly includes a power supply component 31 and a connecting wire 32. The power supply component 31 is located at the other end of the earphone hook 20, and part of the connecting wire 32 is located within the channel. One end of the connecting wire 32 passes through the first opening and is electrically connected to the power supply component 31, while the other end of the connecting wire 32 passes through the second opening and is connected to the earphone body 10.

[0040] By using the earphone 100 in this technical solution, the earphone hook 20 is used to hang the earphone 100 on the ear as a whole. The connecting wire 32 in the channel is used to connect the power supply component 31 and the earphone body 10. When the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically attracted, the earphone body 10 is fixedly connected to the earphone hook 20, so that the earphone body 10 is a certain distance away from the ear canal, realizing the open-ear function of the earphone 100 and improving the comfort of wearing the earphone 100. When the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are separated, since the connecting wire 32 is connected to the earphone body 10, part of the earphone body 10 can be directly inserted into the ear, realizing the semi-in-ear function of the earphone 100 and improving the sound quality and immersion of the user's listening experience. This utility model realizes the switching between semi-in-ear and open-ear modes of the earphone 100 through the cooperation of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component. The wearing mode can be switched arbitrarily in different usage scenarios and needs to meet different listening needs.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the earphone hook 20 is curved and forms a hanging space. When the earphone 100 is worn, the earphone hook 20 is hung on the ear, so that the ear is located within the hanging space, thus fixing the earphone 100. Since the second magnetic component 21 is also in contact with the ear, when the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically attracted together, the first magnetic component 11 can attract the earphone body 10 to the side of the second magnetic component 21 away from the ear or ear canal. Thus, when the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are connected, the earphone body 10 is at a certain distance from the ear or ear canal, and will not come into contact with the ear or ear canal, thereby ensuring the comfort of this open-fit design. After the user removes the first magnetic component 11 from the second magnetic component 21, part of the earphone body 10 can be directly inserted into the ear canal, thereby meeting the user's needs for sound quality and immersion, and improving the sound quality and immersion of the listening experience.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8As shown, the headphone body 10 also includes a first housing 12 and a sound-generating component 13. The first housing 12 has a first receiving cavity 121. The sound-generating component 13 is disposed within the first receiving cavity 121 and electrically connected to the connecting wire 32. The first receiving cavity 121 has a first opening, and a first magnetic component 11 is disposed at the first opening. In this embodiment, the first receiving cavity 121 is used to accommodate the sound-generating component 13, and the first magnetic component 112 is closed at the first opening, which can seal the first receiving cavity 121 and ensure its sealing performance. In this embodiment, the connecting wire 32 can transmit power from the power supply component 31 to the sound-generating component 13, thereby supplying power to the sound-generating component 13. On the other hand, when the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are separated, the connecting wire 32 can also mechanically connect the headphone body 10, ensuring that the headphone body 10 will not detach from the headphone 100 as a whole, thus improving reliability.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the first housing 12, and the connecting wire 32 passes through the through hole and is connected to the sound-generating component 13 in the first receiving cavity 121 (including electrical connection and mechanical connection).

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sound-generating component 13 includes a speaker (dynamic / balanced armature unit) that converts electrical signals into sound; the sound quality depends on the unit material and tuning. The earphone 100 also includes a main control chip and sensors and functional modules, all located in the first receiving cavity 121. The main control chip is responsible for Bluetooth connection, audio decoding, noise reduction algorithms, etc., directly affecting sound quality and functionality. The sensors and functional modules include a microphone and an in-ear detection sensor. The microphone is used for calls and noise reduction, while the in-ear detection sensor enables pause when removed and playback when worn. Additionally, the power supply component 31 includes a small lithium battery and an antenna module to provide battery life, with a lithium battery protection IC to prevent overcharging, and the antenna module to ensure stable Bluetooth signal transmission.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8As shown, the first magnetic component 11 includes a first fixing member 111 and a first magnetic member 112. The first fixing member 111 is disposed at the first opening, and the first magnetic member 112 is disposed on the side of the first fixing member 111 opposite to the second magnetic component 21. In this embodiment, the first fixing member 111 can be a plate-like structure, used to seal the first opening and also to connect and fix the first magnetic member 112. By disposing the first magnetic member 112 on the side of the first fixing member 111 opposite to the second magnetic component 21, the first magnetic member 112 does not directly contact the second magnetic component 21. However, since the magnetic force can achieve a non-contact connection between the first magnetic member 112 and the second magnetic component 21, damage and impacts caused by contact connection between the first magnetic member 112 and the second magnetic component 21 can be avoided, thus improving the service life of the first magnetic member 112.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8 As shown, the first fixing member 111 has a first groove recessed on the side opposite to the second magnetic attraction assembly, and the first magnetic member 112 is disposed in the first groove. In this embodiment, the first magnetic member 112 can be bonded to the first groove. The first groove can limit the circumferential movement of the first magnetic member 112, thereby preventing other components in the first receiving cavity 121 from interfering with the first magnetic member 112, and ensuring that the first magnetic member 112 will not shift, thus improving the stability.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first fixing member 111 has a second groove 1111 recessed on the side facing the second magnetic component, and at least a portion of the second magnetic component 21 is inserted into the second groove 1111. In this embodiment, the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically engaged. With the portion of the second magnetic component 21 inserted into the second groove 1111, it can further ensure that the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 do not move circumferentially when engaged, thus improving the stability of the connection between the headphone body 10 and the headphone hook 20.

[0048] Specifically, in other embodiments of this utility model, the first fixing member 111 can also be protruding on the side facing the second magnetic component, and the second magnetic component 21 can also be recessed on the side facing the headphone body 10. In this embodiment, the protruding first fixing member 111 and the recessed second magnetic component 21 can also achieve plug-in cooperation, thereby ensuring the stable performance when the headphone body 10 and the headphone hook 20 are connected.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the first magnetic component 11 further includes a first limiting member 113. The first limiting member 113 is located within the first receiving cavity 121 and abuts against the side of the first magnetic component 112 opposite to the second magnetic component 21. The circumferential edge of the first limiting member 113 is connected to the inner wall surface of the first housing 12. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 113 can be a plate-like structure. The first limiting member 113 abuts against the side of the first magnetic component 112 opposite to the second magnetic component 21. Combined with the first groove, this further ensures that the first magnetic component 112 will not move, further improving the reliability and stability of the first magnetic component 112.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8 As shown, the first housing 12 has a sound outlet 122, which is used to transmit the sound of the sound-generating component 13 out of the first receiving cavity 121. In this embodiment, the first housing 12 has a small end and a large end arranged opposite to each other. The sound outlet 122 is located at the small end, which is convenient for insertion into the ear canal. By placing the sound outlet 122 at the small end, the sound outlet 122 can be directly oriented into the ear canal when the earphone body 10 is inserted into the ear, further improving the sound quality and immersive listening experience.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8 As shown, the second magnetic component 21 includes a second housing 211, a second fixing member 213, and a second magnetic member 212. The second housing 211 is connected to one end of the earphone hook 20. The second housing 211 has a second receiving cavity 2111 with a second opening. The second fixing member 213 is disposed at the second opening, and the second magnetic member 212 is disposed on the side of the second fixing member 213 away from the earphone body 10. In this embodiment, the second receiving cavity 2111 is used to accommodate part of the second magnetic member 212 and part of the second fixing member 213. The second fixing member 213 is sealed at the second opening, which can achieve a seal on the second receiving cavity 2111. Furthermore, the second magnetic component 212 is located on the side of the second fixing component 213 away from the headphone body 10. In conjunction with the first magnetic component 112 located on the side of the first fixing component 111 away from the second magnetic component 21, the first magnetic component 112 can be kept away from the second magnetic component 212 without direct contact. However, since the magnetic force can achieve a non-contact connection between the first magnetic component 112 and the second magnetic component 212, damage and bumps caused by the contact connection between the first magnetic component 112 and the second magnetic component 212 can be avoided, thus improving the service life of the first magnetic component 112 and the second magnetic component 212.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first magnetic element 112 and the second magnetic element 212 can both be magnet structures, or one can be an iron element and the other a magnet, both of which can achieve magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 112 and the second magnetic element 212.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second fixing member 213 has a third groove recessed on the side opposite to the headphone body 10, and the second magnetic member 212 is disposed in the third groove. In this embodiment, the third groove can limit the circumferential movement of the second magnetic member 212, thereby ensuring that the second magnetic member 212 will not shift and improving the stability performance.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second magnetic component 21 further includes a second limiting member. The second limiting member is located inside the second receiving cavity 2111 and abuts against the side of the second magnetic component 212 away from the earphone body 10. The circumferential edge of the second limiting member is connected to the inner wall surface of the second housing 211. The second limiting member can be a plate-like structure. The second limiting member abuts against the side of the second magnetic component 212 away from the earphone body 10. With the setting of the third groove, it can further ensure that the second magnetic component 212 will not move, and further improve the reliability and stability of the second magnetic component 212.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and 8 As shown, the middle region of the second fixing member 213 protrudes towards the earphone body 10 relative to the second housing 211, and the circumferential edge of the second fixing member 213 is located within the second receiving cavity 2111 and connected to the inner wall surface of the second housing 211. In this embodiment, the middle region of the second fixing member 213 protrudes towards the earphone body 10, enabling it to be inserted into the second groove 1111 of the first fixing member 111. Furthermore, the connection between the circumferential edge of the second fixing member 213 and the second housing 211 ensures that the connection point between the second fixing member 213 and the second housing 211 is located within the second receiving cavity 2111, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the second magnetic assembly 21.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are rotatable relative to each other. In this embodiment, the first housing 12 of the first magnetic component 11 and the second housing 211 of the second magnetic component 21 are rotatable relative to each other, which facilitates the adjustment of the relative positions of the first housing 12 and the earphone body 10 with the ear canal, making it easier for the ear canal to hear the sound transmitted from the earphone body 10 and improving the sound transmission efficiency.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 9As shown, the line connecting the middle area of ​​the second groove 1111 and the first fixing member 111 is the first connecting line. The first housing 12 and the second housing 211 can rotate around the first connecting line respectively. Because the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically coupled, the relative rotation between the earphone body 10 and the second magnetic component 21 can be achieved while ensuring their connection. The first magnetic component 11 can rotate relative to the second magnetic component 21 by an angle A. A can be set to any angle greater than 0 and less than 360 degrees, depending on the specific situation.

[0058] Furthermore, in this invention, the earphone body 10 of the earphone 100 can be detached from the second magnetic component 21 of the earphone hook 20 and inserted into the ear canal to form a semi-in-ear, closed-loop wearing style. Alternatively, the earphone body 10 can be fixed to the second magnetic component 21 to form an open-loop wearing style. When on the second magnetic component 21, the user can also rotate the angle of the earphone body 10 to adapt to different users' ear canal positions and listening needs. The earphone hook 20 serves to hook or clip the ear for fixation, and the connecting wire 32 of the internal channel is used for electrical connection between the power supply component 31 and the sound-generating component 13.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
