Spatial antenna diversity techniques

A wearable device comprising:

• a housing configured to be worn about a head of a subject;
• at least one audio transducer at least partially disposed within the housing;
• a plurality of antennas comprising a first antenna at least partially disposed in the housing and a second antenna at least partially disposed in the housing, wherein the first antenna is disposed on a first side of the subject when the wearable device is worn about the head, and wherein the second antenna is disposed on a second side of the subject that is opposite the first side when the wearable device is worn about the head;
• communication circuitry coupled to the plurality of antennas configured to establish a wireless connection between the wearable device and a wireless access point, the communication circuitry having a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) configuration and including a transceiver, a first front-end circuit coupled between the transceiver and the first antenna, and a second front-end circuit coupled between the transceiver and the second antenna;
• one or more processors coupled to the communication circuitry;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the wearable device to:
• operate the first and second antennas independently to receive concurrently via the wireless connection, a first data stream via the first antenna and a second data stream via the second antenna,
• obtain audio content from at least one of the first data stream or the second data stream, and
• play back the audio content using the at least one audio transducer.
