Wearable Audio Device with Centralized Stereo Image and Companion Device Dynamic Speaker Control

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving signals from a companion electronic device indicating an orientation of the companion electronic device relative to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device and the companion electronic device are physically separate electronic devices;
• increasing a first sound volume associated with first audio emanating from a first audio port when the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in a first direction relative to the electronic device;
• and
• increasing a second sound volume associated with second audio emanating from a second audio port when the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in a second direction relative to the electronic device that is opposite the first direction.

An electronic device, comprising:

• an anterior pendant;
• a posterior pendant;
• a left shoulder strap coupling left sides of the anterior pendant and the posterior pendant together;
• a right shoulder strap coupling right sides of the anterior pendant and the posterior pendant together;
• a plurality of audio outputs, the plurality of audio outputs consisting of:
• a left channel audio signal output situated at a first end of the posterior pendant;
• a right channel audio signal output situated at a second end of the posterior pendant separated from the first end of the posterior pendant by a posterior pendant body;
• and
• a single combined left channel and right channel audio signal output situated at a cranial edge of the anterior pendant;
• a communication device receiving signals from a companion electronic device indicating an orientation of the companion electronic device relative to the electronic device;
• and
• one or more processors causing left channel audio signals emanating from the left channel audio signal output to increase in volume when the signals from the companion electronic device indicate the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in a first direction.
