Abstract: An electronic device communicates with a display, an input device, and a wearable audio output device. The device displays a user interface with dynamic visual representations of participants in a communication session. Outputting, via the wearable audio output device, audio from the plurality of participants in the communication session. The audio is adjusted to maintain simulated spatial locations of participants relative to a frame of reference of the communication session, independently of a position of the wearable audio output device relative to the frame of reference. The simulated spatial locations correspond to the locations of the dynamic visual representations. Receiving an input selecting one of the dynamic visual representations. In response, displaying the dynamic visual representations at locations different from their initial locations, and outputting audio from the participants to position their audio at a different simulated spatial locations, relative to the frame of reference.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device (101) for performing an acoustic calibration of an audio device (102). The control device (101) is configured to determine a reference sound (201) and one or more bandlimited sounds (202a, 202b, 202c) different from the reference sound (201), and to send the reference sound (201) and the one or more bandlimited sounds (202a, 202b, 202c) to the audio device (102). Further, the control device is configured to control the audio device (102) to output said sounds to a user, and to receive, in response to the control of the audio device (102) to output said sounds (202a, 202b, 202c) to the user, a user input indicative of a level of audibility for each of the one or more bandlimited sounds (202a, 202b, 202c). Then, the control device is configured to determine, based on the user input, a gain parameter (203) for each of the one or more bandlimited sounds (202a, 202b, 202c).

Abstract: An audio system and method for establishing wireless data connections between a case (104) and at least one wearable audio device (106) is provided. The audio system can establish a first wireless data connection (142) between the case (104) and the wearable audio device (106) and establish a second wireless data connection (144) between the case (104) and the internet. The case (104), in addition to electrical energy storage capacity or battery bank capabilities, can directly communicate with the internet to receive update data directly from a remote server and can pass on update data to wearable audio devices without the need for a peripheral device such as a smart phone or tablet operating an affiliated software application. The audio system provided allows for information, data, and functionality to be passed between the wearable audio devices and cloud-based services, via the case (104), including social networking, messaging, music services, news, entertainment, and Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP) communication services.
