Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of earphone technology, and more particularly to modular, replaceable housing earphones. [Background technology]

[0002] With the vigorous development of the wearable industry, earphones are becoming more diverse and specialized, and the China Academy of Industry and Commerce predicts that the sales volume of earphones will reach more than 3 billion pairs in 2023. How to meet users' needs for different scenes and appearances and give them a better experience is one of the keys to the success of products.

[0003] Currently, there are three main types of TWS earphones on the market: in-ear TWS earphones, inner-ear TWS earphones, and open-ear earphones with clips or hooks. Each type caters to different usage scenarios and has its own advantages and disadvantages, but none can meet all user needs. For example, in-ear TWS earphones offer superior acoustics, a stable fit, and significant noise reduction, but are uncomfortable and unhygienic to wear. In-ear TWS earphones are significantly more comfortable to wear than in-ear TWS earphones, but their noise reduction is significantly less effective. Secondly, inner-ear TWS earphones do not have earpieces, so they rely entirely on the ear chamber to adapt to the individual's ear, resulting in significantly different wearing experiences for different people. Open-ear earphones with clips or hooks offer optimal wearing comfort, but lack the advantages of the other two. Furthermore, they are bulky, difficult to carry, and unattractive in appearance, making them rarely used in everyday life outside of exercise.

[0004] As explained above, different types of earphones each focus on different usage scenarios, but none of them can cover all usage scenarios and lifestyles of users. Many users need to purchase two or three different types of earphones to meet their needs, which increases their economic expenditure. Many users only use earphones in the scenarios that the product is designed for, and do not use them or are forced to endure them at other times, which reduces users' dependence on the product or creates a very poor usage experience. In addition, the structural components of different types of earphones are difficult to remove, maintain, and repair. It is difficult to realize mutual compatibility between the structural components of different types of earphones, and they must be developed and produced separately, which increases production costs and reduces production efficiency. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an earphone with a modularized replaceable housing, which can be converted into different types of earphones, such as in-ear earphones, inner-ear earphones, and open-ear earphones, using the replaceable housing, and can provide a product that is suitable for multiple occasions, such as going out, working, and exercising, in a more economical way, thereby better meeting the diverse needs of users. The earphone can be provided with cases in a wide variety of shapes and colors, giving users a wider range of choices and better meeting their individual needs. Users can select cases of different sizes and styles to fit the earphones to more different ear chamber structures, making them more comfortable and stable to wear. The earphone has a modular structure, and the modular structure method makes maintenance and repair easier. The earphone changes the traditional earphone production method, allowing multiple products to be derived from one module, effectively shortening the development cycle, reducing production costs, and producing as many products as possible with as little input as possible.
