Abstract:
According to the present disclosure, a sound output device includes: a sound acquisition part configured to acquire sound to be output to the other end of a sound guide part, one end of which is arranged near an entrance of an ear canal of a listener, the sound guide part having a hollow structure; and a head-related transfer function adjustment part configured to adjust a head-related transfer function of sound captured by the sound guide part. Since the head-related transfer function adjustment part adjusts the head-related transfer function of sound captured by the sound guide part, it is possible to listen to both ambient sound and sound provided from a sound output device such that the listener does not feel strangeness even in the state in which the listener is wearing the sound output device.

Claim (Index 3):
The sound output device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the head-related transfer function adjustment part changes the head-related transfer function such that a location of sound source of the sound is localized at a place different from a place of ambient sound directly entering an ear of a listener.
