The glasses may include a glasses frame and two speakers. The glasses frame may include a glasses rim and two glasses temples. The two glasses temples may be rotatably connected to the glasses rim, respectively. The two speakers may include an earphone core, respectively. The two speakers may be connected to the two glasses temples via hinge components of the two glasses temples, respectively. The hinge components may be rotatable to change a position of each of the speakers relative to connected one of the glasses temples to make the speaker abut in front of or behind ears of a user. The glasses temple may include a control circuit or a battery to drive the earphone core to vibrate to generate a sound. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A glasses, comprising: a glasses frame, the glasses frame comprising a glasses rim and two glasses temples, and the two glasses temples being rotatably connected to the glasses rim, respectively; and two speakers, the two speakers comprising an earphone core, respectively, the two speakers being connected to the two glasses temples via hinge components of the two glasses temples, respectively, the hinge components being rotatable to change a position of each of the two speakers relative to connected one of the two glasses temples to make the speaker abut in front of or behind a user's ear, without blocking or covering an ear canal, wherein the glasses temple accommodates a control circuit or a battery to drive the earphone core to vibrate to generate a sound, wherein the glasses further include an earphone housing for accommodating the earphone core, the earphone core at least includes a composite vibration device constituted by a vibration plate and a second vibration transmission plate, and the composite vibration device generates two formants. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein the hinge component includes a hinge, a rod-shaped member, and a fixing member, and the hinge includes: a hinge mount; a hinge arm rotatably connected to the hinge mount via a rotating shaft, and being rotatable relative to the hinge mount when an external force is applied to the hinge arm to change the position of the speaker relative to the glasses temple; a support member flexibly disposed on the hinge mount; and an elastic member configured to elastically offset the support member toward the hinge arm, so that the support member elastically abuts on the hinge arm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The glasses of claim 2, wherein the hinge arm includes a first support surface and a second support surface connected to each other; the support member includes a third support surface; when the elastic member elastically offsets the support member toward the hinge arm, the third support surface elastically abuts on the first support surface and the second support surface, respectively; and when the hinge arm is rotated relative to the hinge mount by the external force, a connection between the first support surface and the second support surface drives the support member against the elastic offset of the elastic member to move in an opposite direction, so that the third support surface is switched from being elastically abutting on one of the first support surface and the second support surface to being elastically abutting on the other of the first support surface and the second support surface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein a ratio between a maximum distance from the rotating shaft to the connection and a shortest distance from the rotating shaft to the first support surface is between 1.1 and 1.5 in a section perpendicular to a central axis of the rotating shaft. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein an included angle between the hinge mount and the hinge arm becomes smaller when the third support surface is switched from elastically abutting on the first support surface to elastically abutting on the second support surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein an external force required when the third support surface is switched from elastically abutting on the first support surface to elastically abutting on the second support surface is different from an external force required when the third support surface is switched from elastically abutting on the second support surface to elastically abutting on the first support surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein the connection has an arc shape in a section perpendicular to a central axis of the rotating shaft (33). ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The glasses of claim 7, wherein the connection has a circular arc shape, and a curvature of the circular arc is between 5 and 30. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein an included angle between the first support surface and the second support surface is an obtuse angle in a section perpendicular to a central axis of the rotating shaft. ### Claim 10 (depends on 3) The glasses of claim 3, wherein the hinge mount includes a mount body, and a first lug and a second lug protruding from the mount body and spaced from each other; and the hinge arm includes an arm body and a third lug protruding from the arm body, the third lug is inserted into an interval region between the first lug and the second lug, and rotatably connected to the first lug and the second lug via the rotating shaft. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The glasses of claim 10, wherein the support member is at least partially disposed inside the interval region and located at a side of the third lug towards the mount body; and the mount body is disposed with an accommodation chamber communicating with the interval region, the elastic member is disposed inside the accommodation chamber, and the support member elastically offsets toward the third lug. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein the earphone core further includes at least one voice coil and at least one magnetic circuit system, the voice coil is physically connected to the vibration plate, the magnetic circuit system is physically connected to the second vibration transmission plate. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein a stiffness coefficient of the vibration plate is greater than a stiffness coefficient of the second vibration transmission plate. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein the earphone core further comprises a first vibration transmission plate; the first vibration transmission plate is physically connected to the composite vibration device; the first vibration transmission plate is physically connected to the earphone housing; and the first vibration transmission plate generates another formant. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The glasses of claim 14, wherein frequencies of the two formants are both within a frequency range of sounds audible to human ears. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the earphone housing is disposed with at least one sound guiding hole; the at least one sound guiding hole derives a sound wave inside the earphone housing; and the sound wave superimposes with a leaked sound wave generated by vibration of the earphone housing to reduce a leaked sound. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The glasses of claim 1, wherein the speaker at least comprises a contact surface in direct or indirect contact with a user; a pressure between the contact surface and the user is greater than 0.1 N; or the pressure between the contact surface and the user is smaller than 5 N. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The glasses of claim 17, wherein a material of the glasses frame includes a memory alloy or an engineering plastic material. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The glasses of claim 17, wherein a frequency response curve of the speaker is a superposition of a frequency response curve of each point on the contact surface.
