Apparatus and methods for reducing crosstalk in personal audio equipment are provided. In an example, a method to reduce headset audio crosstalk can include applying a first signal to a first speaker channel of a headset, coupling a second speaker channel to a first input of a comparator of a crosstalk compensation circuit using a first switch of the crosstalk compensation circuit, the switch and detect circuit including the crosstalk compensation circuit, coupling a first resistor divider to a second input of the comparator using a second switch of the crosstalk compensation circuit, and adjusting a resistance setting of the first resistor divider from an initial setting using an output of the comparator.
