Abstract: Provided is a sound collecting device in which sound is favorably input to a sound collecting unit. The sound collecting device includes: an attachment portion that has a sound collecting unit attached and is adapted to be inserted into an external ear canal; a holding portion adapted to be inserted into the external ear canal and hold the attachment portion at a predetermined position in the external ear canal; and a wearing portion that is positioned on an opposite side of the attachment portion while interposing the holding portion and adapted to be at least partly engaged with an auricle, in which the attachment portion and the holding portion do not block the external ear canal and have acoustic transparency. Therefore, it is possible to provide the sound collecting device in which the sound is favorably input to the sound collecting unit because the attachment portion that has the sound collecting unit attached and is adapted to be inserted into the external ear canal, and the holding portion that holds the attachment portion at a predetermined position in the external ear canal are positioned in the ear in a state of not blocking the external ear canal.
