1. A method of receiving audio content with uplink diversity by a wireless stereo headset comprising first and second ear pieces, wherein the first ear piece establishes a bidirectional communication channel with a host device over a first wireless communication piconet, characterized by the second ear piece, which is not currently a participant in the first wireless piconet:
monitoring the first wireless communication piconet for audio content from the host device;
correctly receiving a first packet of audio content transmitted by the host device on the first wireless communication piconet; and
in response to not receiving from the first ear piece, over an ear-to-ear (e2e) communication link between the first and second ear pieces, within a predetermined duration after correctly receiving the first packet, an indication that the first ear piece successfully received the first packet, transmitting an acknowledgement of the first packet of audio content to the host device on the first wireless communication piconet.
