Abstract
Embodiments of wireless audio systems and methods for wirelessly communicating audio information are disclosed herein. In one example, a wireless audio system includes a primary wireless headphone and a secondary wireless headphone. The primary wireless headphone is configured to receive, from an audio source, audio information using a short-range wireless communication protocol; transmit, to the audio source, a first message indicative of whether the audio information is successfully received; and transmit a communication parameter associated with the short-range wireless communication protocol used between the audio source and the primary wireless headphone. The secondary wireless headphone is configured to receive, from the primary wireless headphone, the communication parameter; receive, from the audio source, the audio information based on the communication parameter using the short-range wireless communication protocol; and transmit, to the audio source, a second message when the audio information is successfully received. The first message and second message determine whether to re-transmit the audio information.
