Abstract
A portable system for enhancing communication between users in proximity to each other while listening to a common audio source includes headsets with an electroacoustic transducer for providing sound to a respective user's ear, and a voice microphone for detecting sound of the respective user's voice and providing a microphone input signal, and an electronic device integral to the first headset and in communication with the second headset. The electronic device generates a side-tone signal based on the microphone input signal from the first headset, generates a voice output signal based on the microphone input signal from the first headset, receives a content input signal, combines the side-tone signal with the content input signal and a far-end voice signal associated with the second headset to generate a combined output signal, and provides the combined output signal to the first headset for output by the first headset's transducer.
