Abstract

This signal generation unit includes a driving surface on which a first driving region, a second driving region, and a third driving region are sequentially arranged in the first direction. A first detection coil is installed on a first movable member in a state of the winding axis extended in the first direction, and moves, together with the first movable member, in the second direction intersecting the first direction between the first and second driving regions in plan view. A second detection coil is installed on a second movable member in a state of the winding axis extended in the first direction, and moves, together with the second movable member, in the second direction between the second and third driving regions in plan view. The signal generation unit generates: a magnetic field over the first and second driving regions during a first driving period, thereby generating a first detection signal corresponding to the distance between the first detection coil and the driving surface; and a magnetic field over the second and third driving regions during a second driving period different from the first driving period, thereby generating a second detection signal corresponding to the distance between the second detection coil and the driving surface.

Abstract

This sound emission device comprises a diaphragm, a magnetic circuit, and an acoustic member. The magnetic circuit comprises: a first surface that faces the diaphragm, a space being formed between the first surface and the diaphragm; a second surface that faces the opposite direction from the first surface; and a hole that is formed by an inner peripheral surface that extends from the first surface to the second surface. The acoustic member, by being attached to the magnetic circuit, forms a resonator. The acoustic member comprises: a cylindrical section that is inserted into the hole; a flange section that extends, outside the hole, from an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section along the second surface; and a wall section that protrudes from the flange section toward the second surface. Between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section and the inner peripheral surface of the hole, a second space is formed that communicates with the first space. Between the flange section and the second surface, a third space is formed that is surrounded by the cylindrical section and the wall section and that communicates with the first space via the second space. The resonator is formed by the second space and the third space.

Abstract

Headphones (100) comprise: speaker housings (111L, 111R) that are worn on the ears of a user; a headband part (120) that is worn on the head of the user; and connection parts (150L, 150R) that connect ends of the headband part (120) to the speaker housings (111L) and (111R) in a relatively movable manner. The connection parts (150L, 150R) include: biasing portions that exert force between the headband part (120) and the speaker housings (111L, 111R) so that the distance therebetween is a predetermined length; and damper portions (130L, 130R) for reducing the force that causes relative movement of the headband part (120) and the speaker housings (111L, 111R).
