Headphone set
First Claim
1. A headphone set comprising:
- a housing body having a first housing section and a second housing section that faces the first housing section, the first and second housing sections being almost perpendicular to a cross section of a cavum conchae of a user'"'"'s ear when the housing body is fit in the cavum conchae;
a speaker and a microphone aligned between the first and second housing sections;
a sound output section provided at the first housing section, to give off sounds output by the speaker to an outer space of the housing body;
a sound pick-up hole provided at the second housing section, through which the outer space communicates with an inner space of the housing body created between a sound pick-up section of the microphone and the second housing section;
wherein the speaker and the microphone are aligned between the first and second housing sections in a longitudinal direction of the housing body, the housing body having a first end at which side the speaker is located and a second end at which side the microphone is located,wherein the first end is provided as an arc-like large-radius section having a first radius and the second end is provided as an arc-like small-radius section having a second radius that is smaller than the first radius, andwherein the speaker has an almost flat cylindrical shape with a first center and the microphone has an almost flat cylindrical shape with a second center, the first and second centers agreeing with centers of the first and second radii, respectively.

Abstract
A headphone set is equipped with left- and right-ear headphone units. Each unit includes a housing body having a first plane section and a second plane section that faces the first section, the sections being almost perpendicular to a cross section of a cavum conchae of a user'"'"'s ear when the housing body is fit in the cavum conchae, a speaker and a microphone aligned between the sections, the speaker being located at the first section side, the microphone being located at the second section side. A sound output section is provided at the first section, to give off sounds output by the speaker to an outer space of the housing body. A sound pick-up hole is provided at the second section, through which the outer space communicates with an inner space of the housing body created between a sound pick-up section of the microphone and the second section.
