Abstract

A two-part ear-piece for holding a sound reproducing device, such as an earphone, comprises a first part adapted to fit within a human ear canal which includes a connectable portion, and a second sound reproduction portion. The latter portion includes a recess adapted to contain a sound reproduction unit and a connectable portion adapted to mate with the first part. The first part of the ear-piece is preferably moulded to the shape of the wearer's ar canal. In a preferred embodiment the first part of the ear-piece is moulded with a thin wall to provide an internal resonant cavity. The ear-piece is formed from a resilient material such as a silicone rubber and the ear-part may have a protrusion that adapted to engage the outer part of the user's ear. The sound from the reproduction portion passes into the user's ear through an air channel which comprises a duct which extends through the first part. The duct may form a resonant cavity within the first part.
