Abstract

A headphone comprises: a headphone main body and an ear supporting wrapped on the headphone main body, wherein the ear supporting includes a sleeve section which includes a main body portion, a lateral bulge portion, an inner bulge portion, and a circumferential bulge portion, and an ear hanging section which includes a first extension end extended toward the bottom, the front end and the inner side of the ear supporting from the top of the lateral bulge portion for fitting in the concha cymba, a bending end arranged to connect the first extension end and the second extension end and then bended toward the top of the ear supporting for fitting in the front surface of the antihelix, and a second extension end extended toward the top, the front end and the outer side of the ear supporting for fitting in the inner side of the helix.

Claims (16)

1. A headphone, comprises:

a headphone main body having:

a bottom section being fitted into an intertragic notch of an ear;

a top section being opposite to the bottom section, the top section being fitted an antihelix of the ear;

a wall section arranged between the top section and the bottom section;

a bulge extended from the wall section and positioned next to the bottom section;

an earbud being wrapped around the bulge; and

an ear supporting being wrapped around the headphone main body, the ear supporting having:

a sleeve section and a supporting, the sleeve section having a main body portion, a lateral bulge portion, an inner bulge portion, and a circumferential bulge portion, the main body portion being wrapped around the wall section of the headphone main body, the lateral bulge portion being laterally bulged from the main body portion, the inner bulge portion being bulged from an inner surface of the main body portion, the inner bulge portion being formed in a recess which is positioned at a front of a top portion of the inner surface of the main body portion, the circumferential bulge portion being bulged from an inner surface of the inner bulge portion and being formed in a quasi-spiral shape, the lateral bulge portion being fitted into the intertragic notch, an antitragus, and a concha cavum of the ear, the recess being fitted into a crus of helix of the ear, the inner bulge portion being fitted into the concha cavum, the circumferential bulge portion being fitted a canal of the ear, the supporting having a first extension portion, a bending portion, and a second extension portion, the first extension portion being extended toward a bottom side, a front side and an inner side of the supporting, the first extension portion being extended from a top of the lateral bulge portion, the bending portion being connected between the first extension portion and the second extension portion, the bending portion being bent toward a top side of the supporting, the second extension portion being extended toward the top side, the front side and an outer side of the supporting, the first extension portion being fitted in a concha cymba of the ear, the second extension portion being fitted in an inner side of a helix of the ear, the bending portion being fitted in a front surface of the antihelix.

2. The headphone as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first extension portion, the second extension portion, and the bending portion are together to form a S-shape, the first extension portion and the lateral bulge portion of the sleeve section are together to form a C-shape.
