Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022000003A1] The invention relates to an adapter (2), which can be releasably connected to an earphone (1) and assists in the fastening of the earphone (1) to a human ear, without impairing the sound output of the earphone. In order to fasten the adapter to the earphone (1), a shell-type part (5) of the adapter (2) encompasses a volume region of the earphone (1), the shell-type part being in planar contact with the earphone (1) under pressure, the compressive force being caused predominantly by elastic bending deformation of the shell-type part (5) as a result of the contact with the earphone (1).
