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 first and a second wireless headphones. The first wireless headphone is configured to receive, from an audio source, audio information using a short-range wireless communication; in response to successfully receiving the audio information, generate an error correcting code based on the audio information; and transmit an error correcting message including the error correcting code. The second wireless headphone is configured to receive, from the audio source, the audio information using the short-range wireless communication; receive, from the first wireless headphone, the error correcting message including the error correcting code; and in response to successfully receiving the audio information based on the error correcting code, transmit an ACK message to the audio source. One of the first and second wireless headphones works in a snoop mode to communicate with the audio source based on communication parameters of another one of the first and second wireless headphones.
