Zusammenfassung:An ear interface of an in-ear earpiece, comprising: a body (12) that fits beneath the tragus and anti-tragus and has a surface (13) that rests against the concha of a user's ear, an outlet (15) arranged to fit inside the user's ear canal entrance for conducting acoustic energy from an acoustic driver of the earpiece to the user's ear canal, and a positioning and retaining structure (20) terminating at an extremity (35), the positioning and retaining structure being arranged for contacting the antihelix of the user's ear along a length (40) of the positioning and retaining structure to orient the body and outlet so that the outlet is positioned at the entrance of the user's ear canal so as to seal it with minimal pressure when worn by the user so that the outlet is not relied upon to provide retention of the earphone in the ear, and the extremity of the positioning and retaining structure contacts the base of the helix of the user's ear.
