Patent ID: 7876920

Claim:
A headset, comprising: means for coupling the headset to an audio source, said audio source having at least a first audio channel and a second audio channel; a crossover network connected to said coupling means, wherein said crossover network divides said first audio channel into at least a first frequency region and a second frequency region and divides said second audio channel into at least a third frequency region and a fourth frequency region, and wherein said crossover network outputs a first audio signal corresponding to said first frequency region, a second audio signal corresponding to said second frequency region, a third audio signal corresponding to said third frequency region, and a fourth audio signal corresponding to said fourth frequency region, and wherein said crossover network further comprises: a first amplifier, wherein said first amplifier amplifies said first audio signal and outputs a first amplified audio signal; a second amplifier, wherein said second amplifier amplifies said second audio signal and outputs a second amplified audio signal; a third amplifier, wherein said third amplifier amplifies said third audio signal and outputs a third amplified audio signal; a fourth amplifier, wherein said fourth amplifier amplifies said fourth audio signal and outputs a fourth amplified audio signal; and at least one power source coupled to said first, second, third and fourth amplifiers; and a first headphone comprising at least a first driver and a second driver, wherein said first driver is coupled to said first amplifier and receives said first amplified audio signal and said second driver is coupled to said second amplifier and receives said second amplified audio signal; and a second headphone comprising at least a third driver and a fourth driver, wherein said third driver is coupled to said third amplifier and receives said third amplified audio signal and said fourth driver is coupled to said fourth amplifier and receives said fourth amplified audio signal.
