Releasable ear hanger, incorporated in a cable, for an earphone. A releasable ear hanger is provided, incorporated in a cable, for a mini-earphone. The ear hanger can protect the mini-earphone from being pulled out of position from the user's ear when the user or any person nearby accidentally pulls the cable connected to the earphone in a jerked manner. The ear hanger includes a shank body, a substantially hook-like portion and a substantially anchor-like cable grasping means. The hook-like portion is shaped in such a manner as to snugly fit the back of the user's ear. The cable grasping means can grasp a selected portion of the cable by which a margin length of the cable is left between the ear hanger and the speaker element inserted in the user's ear. During use of the mini-earphone, if any part of the cable other than the margin length is pulled in a jerked manner, the ear hanger would be pulled off the ear, but in most cases the speaker element would still stay in position in the user's ear. <IMAGE>
