Abstract

An audio system is described, which comprises one or more headphone units, each comprising first and second ear parts connected by a band which in use extends over a wearer's head, a wireless receiver for wirelessly receiving an audio signal, first and second speakers respectively mounted into the first and second ear parts, for emitting sounds based on the received audio signal. A control unit is provided for transmitting a control signal to the one or more headphone units. The one or more headphone units are operable to transmit data to the control unit, and the control signal transmitted from the control unit to the headphone unit and/or the data transmitted from the headphone unit to the control unit, are communicated via a separate channel from the audio signal.
