An ear clip type earphone

This application provides an ear-clip earphone, including a sound-generating unit, a battery pack, an adjustment component, and a connecting arm. The adjustment component has an adjustment space extending along a first direction and includes a first adjustment member connected to the sound-generating unit with no relative movement between them. The connecting arm connects the adjustment component and the battery pack. The first adjustment member can move relative to the connecting arm along the first direction through the adjustment space, thereby driving the sound-generating unit to move within the concha. The ear-clip earphone provided in this application allows the first adjustment member to move the sound-generating unit relative to the connecting arm, adjusting the relative position of the sound-generating unit within the concha. This allows the sound-generating unit to be positioned closer to or further away from the ear canal opening, thus enabling switching between open-ear sound generation away from the ear canal opening and semi-in-ear sound generation entering the ear canal opening. Simultaneously, it reduces sound leakage and noise reduction, adapts to different ear sizes, increases wearing comfort, and provides high adaptability.
