- FIG3 is a schematic diagram of two point sound sources and a listening position according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- sound can be transmitted to the outside of the earphone 10 through the sound outlet 112, which can be regarded as a monopole sound source (or point sound source) A, to generate a first sound; sound can be transmitted to the outside of the earphone 10 through the pressure relief hole 113, which can be regarded as a monopole sound source (or point sound source) B, to generate a second sound.
- the second sound can be opposite or approximately opposite to the first sound in phase, so that they can cancel each other out in the far field, that is, to form an "acoustic dipole" to reduce sound leakage.
- the line connecting the two monopole sound sources can point to the ear canal (referred to as the "listening position") so that the user can hear a sufficiently loud sound.
- the sound pressure at the listening position (referred to as Pear) can be used to characterize the strength of the sound heard by the user (i.e., the near-field listening sound pressure).
- the sound pressure on a sphere centered on the user's listening position or on a sphere centered on the center of the dipole sound source (A and B as shown in FIG.
- Pfar can be counted, which can be used to characterize the strength of sound leakage radiated from the earphone 10 to the far field (i.e., far-field sound leakage pressure).
- Pfar can be obtained by a variety of statistical methods, such as taking the average value of the sound pressure at each point on the sphere, or taking the area integral of the sound pressure distribution at each point on the sphere.
- the method for measuring sound leakage in this specification is only an exemplary description of the principle and effect, and is not limited.
- the measurement and calculation method of sound leakage can also be reasonably adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, with the center of the dipole sound source as the center of the circle, the sound pressure amplitude of two or more points in the far field is evenly averaged according to a certain spatial angle.
- the listening measurement method can be to select a position point near the point sound source as the listening position, and use the sound pressure amplitude measured at the listening position as the listening value.
- the listening position may be on the line connecting the two point sound sources, or may not be on the line connecting the two point sound sources.
- the measurement and calculation method of listening can also be reasonably adjusted according to the actual situation, for example, the sound pressure amplitude of other points or more than one point in the near field position is averaged. For another example, with a certain point sound source as the center of the circle, the sound pressure amplitude of two or more points in the near field is evenly averaged according to a certain spatial angle. In some embodiments, the distance between the near-field listening position and the point sound source is much smaller than the distance between the point sound source and the far-field sound leakage measurement sphere.
- the sound pressure Pear transmitted by the earphone 10 to the user's ear should be large enough to improve the listening effect; the sound pressure Pfar in the far field should be small enough to increase the sound leakage reduction effect. Therefore, the sound leakage index ⁇ can be used as an indicator to evaluate the sound leakage reduction ability of the earphone 10:
- FIG4 is a comparison chart of the sound leakage index of a single-point sound source and a double-point sound source at different frequencies according to some embodiments of this specification.
- the double-point sound source (also referred to as a dipole sound source) in FIG4 can be a typical double-point sound source, that is, the spacing is fixed, the two-point sound source amplitudes are the same, and the two-point sound sources are opposite in phase.
- the typical double-point sound source is selected only for the principle and effect description, and the parameters of each point sound source can be adjusted according to actual needs to make it have certain differences from the typical double-point sound source.
- the sound leakage generated by the double-point sound source increases with the increase of frequency, and the ability to reduce sound leakage weakens with the increase of frequency.
- the frequency is greater than a certain frequency value (for example, about 8000Hz as shown in FIG4), the sound leakage generated will be greater than that of the single-point sound source, and this frequency (for example, 8000Hz) is the upper limit frequency at which the double-point sound source can reduce sound leakage.
- a baffle may be provided between the sound outlet 112 and the pressure relief hole 113 .
- FIG5 is an exemplary distribution diagram of a baffle plate between two sound sources of a dipole sound source according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- a baffle plate when a baffle plate is provided between a point sound source A1 and a point sound source A2, in the near field, the sound wave of the point sound source A2 needs to bypass the baffle plate to interfere with the sound wave of the point sound source A1 at the listening position, which is equivalent to increasing the sound path from the point sound source A2 to the listening position.
- the amplitude difference between the sound waves of the point sound source A1 and the point sound source A2 at the listening position increases compared to the case where no baffle plate is provided, thereby reducing the degree of cancellation of the two-way sound at the listening position, thereby increasing the volume at the listening position.
- the sound waves generated by the point sound source A1 and the point sound source A2 do not need to bypass the baffle plate to interfere in a larger spatial range (similar to the case without a baffle plate), the sound leakage in the far field will not increase significantly compared to the case where there is no baffle plate. Therefore, by providing a baffle structure around one of the point sound sources A1 and A2, the volume at the near-field listening position can be significantly increased without significantly increasing the volume of far-field sound leakage.
- FIG6 is a diagram of the sound leakage index when a baffle is set and when no baffle is set between the two sound sources of the dipole sound source shown in some embodiments of the present specification.
- the sound leakage index is much smaller than when no baffle is added, that is, at the same listening volume, the sound leakage in the far field is smaller than when there is no baffle, and the sound leakage reduction capability is significantly enhanced.

- One or more pressure relief holes 113 connected to the rear cavity may be provided on other sides of the housing 111 (e.g., the outer side OS, the upper side US, or the lower side LS, etc.) to guide the sound generated in the rear cavity out of the housing 111 and then interfere with the sound leaked through the sound outlet hole 112 in the far field.
- the pressure relief hole 113 is farther away from the ear canal than the sound outlet hole 112 to reduce the anti-phase cancellation between the sound output through the pressure relief hole 113 and the sound output through the sound outlet hole 112 at the listening position (e.g., the ear canal), thereby increasing the sound volume at the listening position.
- At least two pressure relief holes 113 may be provided on other sides of the shell 111 (for example, the outer side surface OS, the upper side surface US or the lower side surface LS, etc.).
- the provision of at least two pressure relief holes 113 can destroy the standing waves in the rear cavity, so that the resonance frequency of the sound exported from the pressure relief hole 113 to the outside of the shell 111 is as high as possible, so that the frequency response of the rear cavity has a wider flat area (for example, the area before the resonance peak), and obtains a better sound leakage reduction effect in the mid-high frequency range (for example, 2kHz-6kHz).

- the center of the sound outlet hole 112 can be 0 mm to 2 mm away from the median perpendicular plane of the line connecting the center of the first pressure relief hole 1131 and the center of the second pressure relief hole 1132.
- the area of the second pressure relief hole 1132 can be reduced to reduce the intensity of the sound output from the second pressure relief hole 1132 and transmitted to the ear canal.
- the area of the second pressure relief hole 1132 can be smaller than the area of the first pressure relief hole 1131 (as shown in FIG. 17 ).

- the inner side surface IS of the shell 111 can be crimped against the surface of the ear 100 (for example, the antihelix 105) to increase the resistance of the earphone 10 to fall off the ear 100.
- the projection of the sound outlet 112 on the sagittal plane may partially or completely overlap with the projection of the concave structure of the ear (e.g., the hymena concha 103) on the sagittal plane.
- the hymena concha 103 is connected to the cavum concha 102, the ear canal is located in the cavum concha 102.
- the long axis dimension of the sound-emitting portion 11 cannot be too long. If it is too long, the projection of the free end FE on the sagittal plane will exceed the projection of the ear on the sagittal plane, affecting the fit between the sound-emitting portion 11 and the ear. Therefore, the long axis dimension of the sound-emitting portion 11 can be designed so that the projection of the free end FE on the sagittal plane does not exceed the projection of the helix 107 on the sagittal plane.
- each side wall of the shell 111 has a certain thickness, and therefore, the sound outlet hole 112 and the pressure relief hole 113 are holes with a certain depth.

- the area of the sound hole 112 and the pressure relief hole 113 can indicate the area of the outer opening of the sound hole 112 and the pressure relief hole 113 (for example, the outer opening area of the sound hole 112 on the inner side surface IS, the outer opening area of the first pressure relief hole 1131 on the upper side surface US, and the outer opening area of the second pressure relief hole 1132 on the lower side surface LS).

- the pressure relief hole 113 connected to the rear cavity (for example, the first pressure relief hole 1131 and/or the second pressure relief hole 1132) can be regarded as the point sound source A2 shown in Figure 5
- the ear canal can be regarded as the listening position shown in Figure 5.
- At least part of the shell and/or at least part of the auricle of the sound-emitting part 11 can be regarded as the baffle shown in Figure 5 to increase the sound path difference between the sound outlet 112 and the first pressure relief hole 1131 and/or the second pressure relief hole 1132 to the ear canal, thereby increasing the sound intensity at the ear canal while maintaining the effect of reducing far-field leakage sound.
- the earphone 10 adopts the structure shown in FIG. 7 , that is, when at least part of the housing 111 is located at the antihelix 105, in terms of the listening effect, the sound waves of the sound outlet 112 can directly reach the ear canal.
- the sound outlet 112 can be arranged at a position close to the lower side surface LS on the inner side surface IS, and at least one pressure relief hole can be arranged at a position away from the sound outlet 112.
- the first pressure relief hole 1131 can be arranged at a position away from the sound outlet 112 on the outer side surface OS or the upper side surface US.
- the first pressure relief hole 1131 can be arranged at a position away from the sound outlet 112 on the outer side surface OS or the upper side surface US.
- the sound waves of the pressure hole 1131 need to bypass the outside of the sound-emitting part 11 in order to interfere with the sound waves of the sound outlet hole 112 in the ear canal.
- the convex and concave structures on the auricle will also increase the sound path of the sound from the first pressure relief hole 1131 to the ear canal. Therefore, the sound-emitting part 11 itself and/or at least part of the auricle is equivalent to a baffle between the sound outlet hole 112 and the first pressure relief hole 1131.
- the baffle increases the sound path from the first pressure relief hole 1131 to the ear canal and reduces the intensity of the sound waves from the first pressure relief hole 1131 in the ear canal, thereby reducing the degree of cancellation of the sounds emitted by the sound outlet hole 112 and the first pressure relief hole 1131 in the ear canal, thereby increasing the volume of the ear canal.
- the sound leakage effect since the sound waves generated by the sound outlet hole 112 and the first pressure relief hole 1131 and/or the second pressure relief hole 1132 can interfere with each other in a larger space without bypassing the sound-emitting part 11 itself (similar to the case without a baffle), the sound leakage will not increase significantly. Therefore, by setting the sound outlet hole 112 and the first pressure relief hole 1131 and the second pressure relief hole 1132 at appropriate positions, the volume of the ear canal can be significantly increased without significantly increasing the sound leakage volume.
- the first pressure relief hole 1131 and the second pressure relief hole 1132 can be approximately symmetrically distributed relative to the long axis center plane of the sound-emitting part 11 (for example, the plane NN' perpendicular to the inner side of the paper as shown in FIG8).

- the rear side surface RS of the headset may be a curved surface.
- the distance from a certain position (for example, the center O1 of the first pressure relief hole 1131) to the rear side surface RS may refer to the distance from the position to the section of the rear side surface RS parallel to the minor axis.
- the second pressure relief hole 1132 on the lower side surface LS should be arranged as far away from the sound outlet hole 112 as possible, so that the effect of the sound emitted by the second pressure relief hole 1132 canceling the sound emitted by the sound outlet hole 112 at the listening position (i.e., the ear canal) is weakened, thereby increasing the volume at the listening position. Therefore, when the sound outlet hole 112 is arranged close to the lower side surface LS and the connecting end CE, the second pressure relief hole 1132 can be arranged close to the rear side surface RS, so that the distance between the sound outlet hole 112 and the second pressure relief hole 1132 is as large as possible.

- the first pressure relief hole 1131 may be further away from the sound outlet hole 112 than the second pressure relief hole 1132, and because the gap between the ear 100 and the inner side surface IS is smaller, the sound generated by the first pressure relief hole 1131 is more difficult to transmit to the ear canal than the second pressure relief hole 1132. Therefore, in some embodiments, the distance between the center O1 of the first pressure relief hole 1131 and the rear side surface RS may be smaller than the distance between the center O2 of the second pressure relief hole 1132 and the rear side surface RS.
- the distance between the center O1 of the first pressure relief hole 1131 and the rear side surface RS ranges from 10.44 mm to 15.68 mm, and the distance between the center O2 of the second pressure relief hole 1132 and the rear side surface RS ranges from 13.51 mm to 20.27 mm.

- a cavity structure in order to increase the listening volume, especially the listening volume of mid- and low-frequency sounds, while still retaining the effect of far-field leakage cancellation, can be constructed around one of the double-point sound sources.
- Figure 10 is an exemplary distribution diagram of a cavity structure arranged around one of the dipole sound sources shown in some embodiments of this specification.
- the cavity structure 41 when a cavity structure 41 is provided between the dipole sound sources, one of the dipole sound sources and the listening position is inside the cavity structure 41, and the other dipole sound source is outside the cavity structure 41.
- the sound derived from the dipole sound source inside the cavity structure 41 will be restricted by the cavity structure 41, that is, the cavity structure 41 can gather the sound so that the sound can be more propagated to the listening position, thereby improving the volume and quality of the sound at the listening position.
- the "cavity structure” can be understood as a semi-enclosed structure surrounded by the side wall of the sound-emitting part 11 and the concha cavity structure, and the semi-enclosed structure makes the interior not completely sealed and isolated from the external environment, but has a leakage structure 42 (for example, an opening, a gap, a pipe, etc.) that is acoustically connected to the external environment.
- a leakage structure 42 for example, an opening, a gap, a pipe, etc.
- Exemplary leakage structures may include but are not limited to openings, gaps, pipes, etc., or any combination thereof.
- the cavity structure 41 may include a listening position and at least one sound source.
- “include” may mean that at least one of the listening position and the sound source is inside the cavity, or at least one of the listening position and the sound source is at the edge of the cavity.
- the listening position may be the entrance of the ear canal, or may be the acoustic reference point of the ear.
- Fig. 11A is a schematic diagram of the listening principle of a dipole sound source structure and a cavity structure built around one of the dipole sound sources according to some embodiments of this specification.
- Fig. 11B is a schematic diagram of the sound leakage principle of a dipole sound source structure and a cavity structure built around one of the dipole sound sources according to some embodiments of this specification.
- a dipole with a cavity structure is constructed around one of the sound sources. Since one of the sound sources A is wrapped by the cavity structure, most of the sound radiated therefrom will reach the listening position by direct radiation or reflection. In contrast, in the absence of a cavity structure, most of the sound radiated by the sound source will not reach the listening position. Therefore, the setting of the cavity structure significantly increases the volume of the sound reaching the listening position. At the same time, only a small part of the anti-phase sound radiated by the anti-phase sound source B outside the cavity structure will enter the cavity structure through the leakage structure of the cavity structure.
- the sound generated by the secondary sound source B' has a weak anti-phase cancellation effect on the sound source A in the cavity, which significantly increases the listening volume at the listening position.
- the sound source A radiates sound to the outside through the leakage structure of the cavity, which is equivalent to generating a secondary sound source A' at the leakage structure. Since almost all the sound radiated by the sound source A is output from the leakage structure, and the structural scale of the cavity is much smaller than the spatial scale of the sound leakage evaluation (at least one order of magnitude difference), it can be considered that the intensity of the secondary sound source A' is equivalent to that of the sound source A.
- the sound cancellation effect generated by the secondary sound source A' and the sound source B is equivalent to the sound cancellation effect generated by the sound source A and the sound source B. That is, under this cavity structure, a considerable sound leakage reduction effect is still maintained.
- the leakage structure of the above-mentioned one opening is only an example, and the leakage structure of the cavity structure may include one or more openings, which can also achieve a better listening index, wherein the listening index may refer to the inverse of the leakage index ⁇ , 1/ ⁇ .
- the listening index may refer to the inverse of the leakage index ⁇ , 1/ ⁇ .
- Equal openings are equivalent to doubling the relative opening size of only one hole (i.e., the ratio of the opening area S of the leakage structure on the cavity structure to the area S0 directly affected by the contained sound source in the cavity structure). As mentioned above, its overall listening index will decrease. In the case of equal opening ratio, even if S/S0 is the same as the structure with only one hole, the distances from the two openings to the external sound source are different, which will also result in different listening indexes.
- FIG. 12A is a schematic diagram of a cavity structure with two horizontal openings according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- FIG. 12B is a schematic diagram of a cavity structure with two vertical openings according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the line connecting the two openings and the line connecting the two sound sources are parallel (i.e., two horizontal openings)
- the distances from the two openings to the external sound source are respectively maximum and minimum
- the two lines are perpendicular (i.e., two vertical openings)
- the distances from the two openings to the external sound source are equal and take an intermediate value.
- FIG13 is a comparison diagram of the listening index curves of the cavity structure with two openings and one opening according to some embodiments of the present specification. As shown in FIG13, the overall listening index of the cavity structure with equal openings is lower than that of the cavity structure with one opening. For the cavity structure with equal opening ratio, different listening indexes will be caused due to the different distances between the two openings and the external sound source. It can be seen from FIG12A, FIG12B and FIG13 that the listening index of the leakage structure with equal opening ratio is higher than that of the leakage structure with equal opening ratio, regardless of whether it is a horizontal opening or a vertical opening.
- the listening index of the horizontal opening is larger, regardless of whether it is a leakage structure with equal opening ratio or a leakage structure with equal opening ratio.
- the distance from one of the openings in the horizontally opened leakage structure to the external sound source is smaller than the distance between the two sound sources.
- the secondary sound source thus formed is closer to the external sound source than the original two sound sources, so the listening index is higher, thereby improving the effect of reducing leakage sound. Therefore, in order to improve the effect of reducing leakage sound, the distance from at least one opening to the external sound source can be made smaller than the distance between the two sound sources.
- a cavity structure with two openings can better improve the resonant frequency of the air sound in the cavity structure than a cavity structure with one opening, so that the entire device has a better listening index in the high frequency band (for example, the sound with a frequency close to 10,000 Hz) than a cavity structure with only one opening.
- the high frequency band is the frequency band that the human ear is more sensitive to, so there is a greater demand for reduced leakage sound. Therefore, in order to improve the effect of reducing leakage sound in the high frequency band, a cavity structure with more than 1 opening can be selected.
- Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary wearing method of an earphone according to some other embodiments of the present application.
- Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the earphone shown in Fig. 14 facing the ear.
- the earphone 10 shown in FIG14 has a similar structure to the earphone 10 shown in FIG7 , for example, the ear hook 12 is an arc-shaped structure that fits the junction between the user's head and the ear 100.
- the sound-emitting portion 11 (or the housing 111 of the sound-emitting portion 11) may have a connection end CE connected to the ear hook 12 and a free end FE not connected to the ear hook 12.
- the first part 121 of the ear hook 12 (for example, the hook-shaped part of the ear hook 12) is hung between the user's auricle (for example, the helix 107) and the head, and the second part 122 of the ear hook 12 (for example, the connection part of the ear hook) extends to the side of the auricle away from the head and is connected to the connection end CE of the sound-emitting portion 11, so that the sound-emitting portion 11 is worn near the ear canal but does not block the ear canal.
- the first part 121 of the ear hook 12 for example, the hook-shaped part of the ear hook 12
- the second part 122 of the ear hook 12 (for example, the connection part of the ear hook) extends to the side of the auricle away from the head and is connected to the connection end CE of the sound-emitting portion 11, so that the sound-emitting portion 11 is worn near the ear canal but does not block the ear canal.
- the earphone 10 shown in FIG14 is similar in structure to the earphone 10 shown in FIG7 , and the main difference is that the sound-emitting portion 11 is tilted, and the housing 111 of the sound-emitting portion 11 is at least partially inserted into the concha cavity 102, for example, the free end FE of the sound-emitting portion 11 can extend into the concha cavity 102.
- the ear hook 12 and the sound-emitting portion 11 of such a structure have a better fit with the user's ear 100, which can increase the resistance of the earphone 10 to fall off the ear 100, thereby increasing the wearing stability of the earphone 10.
- connection end CE of the sound-emitting portion 11 when worn, is closer to the top of the head than the free end FE when viewed along the thickness direction Z, so that the free end FE can extend into the concha cavity.
- the angle between the long axis direction X and the direction of the human body's sagittal axis can be between 15° and 60°. If the aforementioned angle is too small, it is easy to cause the free end FE to fail to extend into the concha. If the angle is too large, the sound-emitting portion 11 cannot be inserted into the concha cavity, and the ear canal is blocked by the sound-emitting portion 11.
- such a configuration allows the sound-emitting portion 11 to be inserted into the concha cavity, while ensuring that the sound-emitting hole 112 on the sound-emitting portion 11 is at a suitable distance from the ear canal, so that the user can hear more of the sound produced by the sound-emitting portion 11 when the ear canal is not blocked.
- the sound-emitting portion 11 and the ear hook 12 can clamp the ear region corresponding to the concha cavity from both the front and rear sides of the ear region, thereby increasing the resistance of the earphone 10 to fall off the ear, thereby improving the stability of the earphone 10 when worn.

- the free end FE abuts against the concha cavity in the major axis direction X and the minor axis direction Y.
