7. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, wherein the main body is substantially "L-shaped".

8. The open-type headphones according to claim 7, wherein the acoustic module and the main body are substantially "C" shaped as a whole.

9. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, wherein the center of gravity of the open-type headphones is located between the acoustic module and the second part of the main body.

10. The open-type headphones according to claim 9, wherein the center of gravity of the open-type headphones is configured to be located inside the outer ear.

11. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, wherein the first sound-emitting opening of the acoustic module is configured to be positioned within the concha of the user's ear, in close proximity to the opening of the external auditory canal.

12. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, further comprising a second sound-emitting opening configured such that the acoustic module is located further from the ear canal opening than the first sound-emitting opening.

13. The open-type headphones according to claim 12, wherein the acoustic transducer generates sound pressure in the front acoustic cavity and the rear acoustic cavity of the acoustic module, the first sound-emitting opening is fluid-coupled to the front acoustic cavity, and the second sound-emitting opening is fluid-coupled to the rear acoustic cavity.

14. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, wherein the second portion of the main body comprises a battery housing configured to house a battery power supply for the open-type headphones.

15. The open-type headphones according to claim 14, further comprising a printed circuit board within the first portion of the main body, wherein the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to the battery power supply.

16. The open-type headphones according to claim 15, further comprising a flexible circuit element that electrically couples the printed circuit board to the acoustic transducer.

17. The open-type headphones according to claim 1, further comprising a pair of microphones within the first portion of the main body, wherein the microphones are arranged on both sides of the first portion, and so that one microphone is located further from the user's mouth than the second microphone.

18. These are open-back headphones, An acoustic module configured to be at least partially positioned within the concha of the user's outer ear, wherein the acoustic module comprises an acoustic transducer and a first sound-emitting opening, the first sound-emitting opening being configured to emit sound generated by the acoustic transducer, and the acoustic module is configured to be positioned within the concha of the user's ear, not within the opening of the ear canal, and in close proximity to the opening of the ear canal. A body coupled to the acoustic module, the body comprising: a first portion configured to pass over the lobe of the outer ear outside at least one of the antihelix and helix; and a second portion configured to be positioned behind the outer ear, wherein at least one of the antihelix, helix, and lobe of the ear is positioned between the first portion and the second portion of the body; These are open-back headphones that feature [a specific design element].

19. The open-type headphones according to claim 18, wherein the second portion of the main body comprises a battery housing configured to house a battery power supply for the open-type headphones.
