Abstract:
A method of stereophonic recording is provided. A first audio signal is detected by a microphone in a first housing of an earphone detecting an environmental sound outside the first housing. A second audio signal is detected by a microphone in the second housing to detect environmental sound outside the second housing. The detected first and second audio signals are forwarded to an external device for further processing and recording via an output unit of the earphone unit. The first and second audio signals are processed and forwarded to the first and second electro-acoustic transducers in the first and second housing of the earphone respectively. The processed first and second audio signals are reproduced by the first and second electro-acoustic transducers respectively to implement a talk-through function.

Claim (Index 5):
A binaural earphone unit, comprising:\n a first housing and a second housing, each housing comprising:\n an electro-acoustic transducer; and \n a microphone configured to detect an audio signal comprising environmental sound outside the housing; \n a remote control unit connected to the first and second housings and comprising a third microphone configured to detect speech signals of a user; an output unit for configured to:\n output a binaural environmental sound signal comprising the audio signals as detected by the microphones in the first and second housings to an external electronic device for at least one of recording and further processing; and \n output the speech signals of the third microphone to the external electronic device; and \n a sound processing unit configured to process the audio signals as detected by the microphones in the first or second housings such that the output signal of the sound processing unit is reproduced by the electro-acoustic transducers to implement a talk-through function; wherein parameters of the processing in the processing unit can be changed by the user and wherein such change has no impact on the provided binaural output signal.
