Abstract: Provided is electronic equipment capable of suppressing a change in sound quality output from a speaker. An operating device (10) (electronic equipment) has a speaker (2) with a terminal section P, a frame (50) (storage member), and an elastic member (3). The frame (50) has a wall section (52) that defines at least part of a storage chamber A that stores the speaker (2). An opening (53) from which the sounds from the speaker (2) are output is formed in the wall section (52). The elastic member (3) supports a lower surface of the speaker (2), is arranged at a position avoiding the terminal section P of the speaker (2), and presses the speaker (2) against an edge (54) of the opening (53).
