Abstract
A system and method includes a first audio device (e.g., a primary wireless earbud) connected to a second audio-output device (e.g., a secondary wireless earbud) using a first wireless connection. The first audio device is also connected to a user device (e.g., a smartphone or smart watch) using a second wireless connection. The second audio device receives data, such as packets, sent from the third device to the first device by monitoring the second wireless connection. If the second audio device does not determine that the first audio device sent a corresponding acknowledgement message (i.e., the first audio device did not receive a packet), the second audio device sends the acknowledgement message and sends the packet to the first audio device.
