Abstract:
[Object] To allow a listener to hear sound acquired in real time to which desired reverberation is added. [Solution] According to the present disclosure, a sound output device includes: a sound acquisition part configured to acquire a sound signal generated from an ambient sound; a reverb process part configured to perform a reverb process on the sound signal; and a sound output part configured to output a sound generated from the sound signal subjected to the reverb process, to a vicinity of an ear of a listener. This configuration allows a listener to hear sound acquired in real time to which desired reverberation is added.

Claim (Index 15):
A sound system comprising:\n a first sound output device including\n a sound acquisition part configured to acquire sound environment information that indicates an ambient sound environment, \n a sound environment information acquisition part configured to acquire, from a second sound output device, sound environment information that indicates a sound environment around the second sound output device that is a communication partner, \n a reverb process part configured to perform a reverb process on a sound signal acquired by the sound acquisition part, in accordance with the sound environment information, and \n a sound output part configured to output a sound generated from the sound signal subjected to the reverb process, to an ear of a listener; and \n the second sound output device including\n a sound acquisition part configured to acquire sound environment information that indicates an ambient sound environment, \n a sound environment information acquisition part configured to acquire sound environment information that indicates a sound environment around the first sound output device that is a communication partner, \n a reverb process part configured to perform a reverb process on a sound signal acquired by the sound acquisition part, in accordance with the sound environment information, and \n a sound output part configured to output a sound generated from the sound signal subjected to the reverb process, to an ear of a listener.
