Abstract
An adjustable earphone with a microphone has a hook, a speaker, and a microphone, in which the hook is used for comfortably mounting the earphone on a user's ear. The speaker is mounted in a speaker chamber that connects to the hook by an outrigger wherein the speaker can be firmly fixed on the user's exterior acoustic meatus. The microphone is mounted in a microphone chamber that connects to the hook by a boom, and the microphone chamber can be fixed near the user's mouth. A speaker signal-wire used for transmitting the signal extends from the speaker chamber, passes through the hook, and then couples to the audio signal manager. A microphone signal-wire used for transmitting the signals extends from the microphone chamber, passes by the boom, and then couples to the audio signal manager.
