Abstract: A stable mounted state to an ear is secured. A sound output device includes: a speaker that outputs sound; a housing that includes a sound introduction hook, the sound introduction hook having an internal space that is formed as a sound introduction space for introducing sound output from the speaker, the speaker being arranged in the housing; and an ear pad portion that is provided to be continuous to the housing, the sound introduction hook including an opening through which sound is emitted toward an ear, the sound introduction hook being to be mounted on a root portion of an auricle from a helix side, the ear pad portion being to be mounted on the root portion of the auricle from an earlobe side. Accordingly, since the sound introduction hook is mounted on the root portion of the auricle from the helix side, the ear pad portion is also mounted on the root portion of the auricle from the earlobe side, and the sound introduction hook and the ear pad portion are mounted on the ear from substantially the opposite sides, a stable mounted state to the ear can be secured.

Abstract: Provided is a sound output apparatus which realizes listening characteristics of the ambient sound even in a wearing state, which are equivalent to those in a non-wearing state, and outputs good acoustic information at the same time. A sound output apparatus 100 includes a sound generation unit 110 which generates sound, a sound guiding unit 120 which takes in, from one end 121, the sound generated from the sound generation unit 110, and a ring-shaped holding unit 130 which holds the sound guiding unit 120 in the vicinity of the other end 122. The sound output apparatus 100 is worn on the pinna by locking the holding unit 130 to the intertragic notch, and the holding unit 130 supports the vicinity of the other end 122 of the sound guiding unit 120 so that a sound output hole of the other end 122 of the sound guiding unit 120 is positioned to face the interior side of the ear canal.
