Abstract:
A headphone includes an electro-acoustic transducer, a housing, a noise cancelling circuit, a resonant frequency converter, and a switch. The electro-acoustic transducer is configured to reproduce sound from electrical signals. The housing is attached to the electro-acoustic transducer. The noise cancelling circuit is configured to attenuate a noise sound by adding an antiphase sound to the noise sound. The resonant frequency converter is configured to change a resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator configured to include a cavity in the housing and a tubular cavity communicating with the cavity. The switch is configured to perform alteration of the resonant frequency and switching of the noise cancelling circuit, in conjunction with each other.
