Abstract: An audio transmitter is disclosed that comprises at least one microphone configured to receive ambient audio and produce an ambient audio signal indicative of the received ambient audio, a pairing component arranged to facilitate pairing of the audio transmitter with a wireless audio reproducing device, and an audio transmission component arranged to wirelessly transmit a short-range audio signal to a paired wireless audio reproducing device. The short-range audio signal is usable by the wireless audio reproducing device to reproduce audio representative of the received ambient audio.
