Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a wireless ear-borne audio device that may be configured in a variety of ways, including, but in no way limited to a device for recording audio information and storing the audio information for later replay, and/or forwarding the audio information to another device. The audio information may be analyzed to perform further functions. An embodiment of the invention also provides a method for compressing audio data and transmitting the audio information to the ear-borne audio device in a manner that reduces the power consumption of the ear-borne audio device in receiving data via a Bluetooth® connection.
