Zusammenfassung:	A pair of earphones have microphone arrays each including a front microphone and a rear microphone. A processor uses a first set of filters to combine the four microphone signals to generate a far-field signal that is more sensitive to sounds originating a short distance away from the earphones than to sounds close to the apparatus, and provides the far-field signal to the speakers for output. The processor also uses a second set of filters to combine the four microphone signals to generate a near-field signal that is more sensitive to voice signals from a person wearing the earphones than to sounds originating away from the earphones, and provides the near-field signal to a communication system.
