Abstract:
Sound is produced through headphones in a manner that improves user experience and increases safety. In some circumstances, such as when the user is moving during exercise, commuting, etc., an audio safety spatialization mode of the headphones is automatically activated. In this mode, sound is spatialized such that when the user turns his head, the sound appears to be generated from a same position in space as before the user turned his head. If the user's head remains in the turned position, the spatialized sound will return to an initialized position with respect to the user's head.

Claim (Index 7):
A system, comprising:\n headphones comprising a left-ear audio output and a right-ear audio output; one or more sensors; a memory storing instructions for generating audio through the left-ear audio output and the right-ear audio output; and one or more processors in communication with the memory and the one or more sensors, the one or more processors configured to: receive input from the one or more sensors; detect a direction of movement of the headphones based on the received input; establish a virtual audio source for the headphones based on the direction of movement; generate sound through the right ear portion and the left ear portion of the headphones, such that the sound is produced with an effect of emanating from the virtual audio source; detect angular movement of the headphones with respect to the virtual audio source; adjust the sound generated through at least one of the right ear portion or the left ear portion based on the angular movement with respect to the virtual audio source, wherein adjusting the sound in the right ear portion comprises at least one of reducing the sound level in the left ear portion or increasing the sound level in the right ear portion when the detected angular movement of the headphones is to the left, and adjusting the sound in the left ear portion comprises at least one of reducing the sound level in the right ear portion or increasing the sound level in the left ear portion when the detected angular movement of the headphones is to the right.
