Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed to negotiate communications parameters between near field communications (NFC) capable devices. In some embodiments, the NFC capable devices operate in a negotiation phase to negotiate one or more communications parameters prior to transferring information. In other embodiments, the NFC capable devices simultaneously negotiate the one or more communications parameters with the transferring of the information.

Abstract: Sound signals are created at the eardrums of a listener to correspond to sound signals which would be created at the eardrums of the listener in a predetermined acoustical environment in response to first electrical signals applied to a loudspeaker having known sound-reproducing characteristics. A determination of the relative position of the head of the listener when the listener is in the predetermined acoustical environment is made, producing a second signal. An equalizing network is provided with a first input for receiving said first electrical signals, and a second input for receiving the second signals, and a pair of outputs connected to the earphones on the headset of a listener.
