Abstract:
The invention relates to an audio device for use proximate a user's ears. The audio device includes first and second audio transmitting/receiving devices that are capable of operating in stereo. The audio device may be used within a system for manipulating audio signals received by the device. The manipulation may include processing received audio signals to enhance their quality. The processing may include applying one or more audio enhancement algorithms such as beamforming, active noise reduction, etc. A corresponding method for manipulating audio signals is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of manipulating audio signals in an audio transmitting/receiving device that includes a first earphone comprising a first speaker and a first plurality of microphone elements, a second earphone comprising a second speaker and a second plurality of microphone elements, wherein the first plurality of microphone elements are arranged along an axis and the first speaker is acoustically isolated from the first plurality of microphone elements, the second plurality of microphone elements are arranged along an axis and the second speaker is acoustically isolated from the second plurality of microphone elements, the method comprising:\n collecting via a signal processor audio signals from the first and second microphone elements; applying a broadside stereo beamforming algorithm to the collected audio signals; applying an adaptive filter to reduce background noise in the audio signals; and selectively transmitting the broadside stereo beamformed and filtered audio signals.
