BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of technology, there is an increasingly demand for quality of life, and consumer electronics are developed towards high quality, and such trend is pretty obvious in the research, development and manufacture of earphones. Like mobile phones with various bands, earphones are developed to have waterproof functions, and these earphones are expected to not only be waterproof, but also have better sound effects while being waterproof.


At present, a waterproof earphone uses the following technology: a present tuning technology, that is, providing sound release holes for the back sound cavity of the speaker to extend the low frequency, and the sound release holes need to be clear and have a high air permeability, however, due to the low air permeability of the IPX7 waterproof material which is basically airtight and cannot meet the two conditions required for the sound holes: first condition is clear and second condition is a high air permeability, the low frequency effect is poor. If the low frequency effect is improved only by increasing the volume of the rear sound cavity, the volume of the product will increase, which makes the product look cumbersome and destroy the aesthetics of the product. When the enclosed rear sound cavity is in the working process of the speaker, that is, when the vibration diaphragm vibrates, the vibration diaphragm will compress the volume of the rear sound cavity, which causes the internal pressure of the rear sound cavity is increased, and the reaction force in turn applies to the vibration diaphragm, thereby weakening the vibration force of the vibration diaphragm and causing the speaker failing to release a strong enough low frequency effect.
