Abstract (en)
An audio output device (100) has a plurality of sound outlets (102) for outputting sound. The audio output device (100) has a proximity sensor (104) for determining the position of a user's ear (106) in relation to at least one of the sound outlets (102). The audio output device (100) is configured to adjust the relative volume of sound output by one or more of the sound outlets (102) based on the determined position of the user's ear (106).
