Headphone apparatus having means for detecting gyration of user's head

摘要

An audio reproducing apparatus includes a signal source, an audio reproducing unit, an address signal generating unit, a memory and an integrating circuit. The signal source outputs digitized audio signals of a plurality of channels. The audio reproducing unit is fitted into listener's ear portions to reproduce the digital audio signals supplied thereto from the signal source by an electro-acoustic transducer. The address signal generating unit generates an address signal based on a detected signal supplied thereto from a detecting unit for detecting listener's head motion relative to the standard direction. The integrating circuit processes the digital audio signals supplied thereto from the signal source and data concerning impulse response, dependent on head position and memorized in the memory. The audio signals supplied to the audio reproducing unit being corrected in response to listener's head motion in a real time fashion.
