1. An earphone, comprising: a holding component including a housing; a transducer residing inside the housing and configured to generate vibrations, the vibrations producing a sound wave inside the housing; at least two sound guiding holes located on the housing and configured to guide the sound wave inside the housing through the at least two sound guiding holes to an outside of the housing, wherein the at least two sound guiding holes include a first sound guiding hole and a second sound guiding hole, the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole are located on different side walls of the housing, and the guided sound waves of the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole have different phases; and a hook-shaped component configured to hang between a rear side of an ear of a user and a head of the user; and a connecting component configured to connect the hook-shaped component and the holding component and cooperate with the hook-shaped component to provide the holding component with a pressing force on the front side of the ear, so that the hook-shaped component and the holding component cooperate to form a clamping for the ear; and wherein the housing includes a specific side wall where no sound guiding hole is located, and a distance from the first sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing is different from a distance from the second sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing.
