Audio streaming system comprising an audio streamer and at least one ear worn device

An audio streaming system comprising an audio streamer connected to an audio source, and at least one ear worn device (50),

• wherein the audio streamer comprises
• a first antenna (26) with a first polarization,
• a second antenna (27) with a second polarization, and
• a radio configured for transmitting
• a first audio stream signal (30) from the first antenna (26) and
• a second audio stream signal (31) from the second antenna (27),
• wherein the first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31) carry the same audio information in first and second time windows, respectively,
• wherein the at least one ear worn device (50) comprising:
• a radio (63) adapted for receiving the first audio stream signal and the second audio stream signal,
• a processor (61) being configured for:
• comparing the first audio stream signal (30) to a predefined criterion, and
• when the predefined criterion is fulfilled, choosing the first audio stream signal (30) as input for audio reception with the radio disabled in the second time window;
• or
• when the predefined criterion is not fulfilled, choosing the second audio stream signal (31) as input for audio reception.

A method of receiving, in an ear worn device, an audio stream from an audio streamer transmitting a first audio stream signal from first antenna with a first polarization, a second audio stream signal from a second antenna with a second polarization, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving the first audio stream signal and the second audio stream signal,
• comparing the signal strength of the first audio stream signal to a predefined criterion, and
• choosing the first audio stream signal (30) as input for audio reception with the radio disabled in the second time window when the predefined criterion is fulfilled;
• or
• choosing the second audio stream signal (31) as input for audio reception when the predefined criterion is not fulfilled.

An ear worn device for receiving an audio stream from an audio streamer transmitting a first audio stream signal (30) having a first polarization and a second audio stream signal (31) having a second polarization, and comprising:

• a radio (63) for receiving the first audio stream signal and the second audio stream signal,
• a processor (61) being configured for:
• comparing the signal strength of the first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31), and
• choosing the first audio stream signal (30) as input for audio reception with the radio disabled in the second time window when the predefined criterion is fulfilled;
• or
• choosing the second audio stream signal (31) as input for audio reception when the predefined criterion is not fulfilled.
