Abstract

An earbud connector includes an outer support portion, an inner connecting portion, and a sound mesh component. The outer support portion has a hollow interior and a first rigidity, and includes an earbud latching portion, a base portion, and a neck portion. The inner connecting portion is partially engaged with the interior of the outer support portion and has a second rigidity, while the other part is exposed on the bottom side of the base portion. The sound mesh component is disposed within the earbud latching portion. This invention utilizes a dual-rigidity structural design and a specific connection relationship. By using different materials and structures, this invention primarily enhances the connection with headphones and earbuds. Compared to existing one-piece molded earbuds with adapter functions, this earbud connector allows for a significant degree of bending of existing headphones and earbuds, thereby reducing ear canal discomfort and sound leakage.
