Specifically, the microphone 30 includes a first housing 31, a first housing cover 32 covering the first housing 31, and a microphone unit 33 and a first rigid elastic sheet 34 disposed in a first accommodating cavity 30a enclosed by the first housing 31 and the first housing cover 32, where the first rigid elastic sheet 34 is fixedly disposed on a side of the microphone unit 33 close to the first housing cover 32. Vibration that the user talks and produces is passed through first cap 32 and first casing 31 and is transmitted for microphone monomer 33 to convert the sound of speaking into the signal of telecommunication and outwards send through wireless communication module, first rigidity shell fragment 34 can vibrate together along with microphone monomer 33, thereby improves vibration transmission effect, improves the tone quality of sending a call. The receiver 40 includes a second housing 41, a second housing cover 42 covering the second housing 41, and a speaker unit 43 and a second rigid elastic sheet 44 disposed in a second accommodating cavity 40a enclosed by the second housing 41 and the second housing cover 42, wherein the second rigid elastic sheet 44 is fixedly disposed on a side of the speaker unit 43 close to the second housing cover 42, and when the wireless communication module receives an electrical signal, the electrical signal is sent to the speaker unit 43, so that the speaker unit 43 generates a vibration signal. In this embodiment, the second rigid elastic piece 44 is further fixed on one side of the speaker unit 43 close to the second housing cover 42, and the second rigid elastic piece 44 can vibrate along with the speaker unit 43, so that the vibration transmission effect is improved, and the voice playing tone quality is improved.
