Abstract
A compact, wearable wireless headset for stereo audio reproduction contains first and second ear pieces. The ear pieces each contain a battery and a speaker, and are connected by connecting means. The first ear piece receives audio information via a short range radio, and communicates left channel audio information to the second ear piece by various means, including wirelessly, by wire, and via optical communication. In some embodiments, the battery in the second ear piece supplies power to circuitry located in the first ear piece.
