Abstract
A wearable electronic device includes an anterior pendant and a posterior pendant. A first neck strap couples a first side of the anterior pendant to the posterior pendant, while a second neck strap couples a second side of the anterior pendant to the posterior pendant. The posterior pendant includes a first single channel posterior audio output delivering a left channel audio signal through a first port and a second single channel posterior audio output delivering a right channel audio signal from a second port. The anterior pendant has a single channel anterior audio output delivering a combined left channel audio signal and right channel audio signal to pull the stereo image defined by the combined acoustic signals toward the anterior pendant.
