Abstract
Systems and methods may provide for a headset including a housing and a speaker positioned within the housing and directed toward a region external to the housing such as, for example, an ear canal when the headset is being worn. The headset may also include an ear pressure sensor positioned within the housing and directed toward the same region external to the housing. In one example, a measurement signal is received from the pressure sensor, one or more characteristics of an audio signal are automatically adjusted based on the measurement signal, and the audio signal is transmitted to the speaker.
