Abstract
A head-worn device can determine that a playback device is outputting audio content. A microphone of the head-worn device can sense the audio content that is output by the playback device. Spatial filters can be applied to one or more audio channels of additional audio content that complements the audio content output by the playback device. The resulting spatialized audio can be played through speakers to a user wearing the head-worn device.
