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.

Claim (Index 15):
The sound output apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the holding unit comprises an earpiece unit with a hollow structure, and a tongue piece unit protruding from a lower end of the earpiece unit.
