Headphones and speaker unit
There are provided headphones and a speaker unit having proper acoustic properties and exhibiting excellent reproduced sound quality even in the case of providing air holes at a damping member. The headphones include a speaker unit having a diaphragm and a frame supporting an outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm, a housing configured to house the speaker unit, and a damping member made of a material exhibiting air permeability and attached to cover an opening of the frame through which a sound wave emitted from the diaphragm passes and/or an opening of the housing. The damping member has one or more air holes formed by removal of the material forming the damping member. A secondary damping member is attached to an annular edge portion defining each air hole, thereby reducing vibration of the edge portion.
1. Headphones comprising:
a speaker unit including a diaphragm and a frame supporting an outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm;
a housing configured to house the speaker unit; and
a damping member made of a material exhibiting air permeability and attached to cover an opening of the frame through which a sound wave emitted from the diaphragm passes and/or an opening of the housing,
wherein the damping member has one or more air holes formed by removal of the material forming the damping member, and
one or more secondary damping members each including a hole aligned with a corresponding one of the one or more air holes in the damping member, the one or more secondary damping members being attached to an annular edge portion of the corresponding one of the one or more air holes defining the air hole.
2. The headphones according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the one or more secondary damping members is any of a paper member, a non-woven fabric member, a woven fabric member, and a porous member formed in an annular shape according to a shape of the edge portion defining each air hole.
3. The speaker unit provided at the headphones according to claim 1 , comprising:
the damping member attached to cover the opening of the frame through which the sound wave emitted from the diaphragm passes.
