Abstract (en)

An inner-ear type headphone apparatus includes a diaphragm (2), a driving portion (3), a case (1), a duct (19), and a sound-absorbing portion (20). The driving portion (3) drives the diaphragm (2). A diaphragm backside space (15a) is formed between the diaphragm (2) and the driving portion (3). The driving portion (3) is attached to the case (1). The duct (19) conducts the diaphragm backside space (15a) to the external space outside the case (1). The sound-absorbing portion (20) communicates with the duct (19). The sound-absorbing portion (20) absorbs sound of high frequency range emitted to the external space outside the case (1) through the duct (19). The amount of unpleasant high frequency range sound leaking outside is reduced. <IMAGE>
