1. An earphone, comprising:
a sound production component including a housing and a transducer, the transducer residing inside the housing and being configured to generate vibrations, the vibrations producing a sound wave inside the housing; and
an ear hook, in a wearing state, the ear hook being used to place the sound production component at a position near an ear canal but not blocking the ear canal, wherein
the housing is provided with a first sound guiding hole on an inner side surface towards the auricle for guiding the sound wave inside the housing through the first sound guiding hole to the ear canal and to surrounding environment, and a distance between a center of the first sound guiding hole and an upper vertex of the ear hook is in range of 17.5 mm to 27.0 mm.
