Abstract: A device may include microphones worn on a head of a user. The device may include a processor, configured to obtain microphone signals from the plurality of microphones. The processor may attenuate breathing sound from the user by processing the microphone signals, resulting in attenuated microphone signals. The processor may render one or more output audio channels based on the plurality of attenuated microphone signals.

Abstract: A method performed by a first headset worn by a first user, the method includes the first headset performing noise cancellation on a microphone signal captured by a microphone of the first headset that is arranged to capture sounds within an ambient environment in which the first user is located. The first headset receives, from a second headset that is being worn by a second user who is in the ambient environment and over a wireless communication link, at least one sound characteristic generated by at least one sensor of the second headset and passing through select sounds from the microphone signal based on the received sound characteristic.

Abstract: A plurality of microphone signals of a microphone array may be obtained. An environment change may be detected based on the microphone signals. In response, a reverberation time environment may be determined. The reverberation may be used to modify a playback audio signal.

Abstract: One or more acoustic parameters of a current acoustic environment of a user may be determined based on sensor signals captured by one or more sensors of the device. One or more preset acoustic parameters may be determined based on the one or more acoustic parameters of the current acoustic environment of the user and an acoustic environment of an audio file comprising audio signals that is determined based on the audio signals of the audio file or metadata of the audio file. The audio signals may be spatially rendered by applying spatial filters that include the one or more preset acoustic parameters to the audio signals, resulting in binaural audio signals. The binaural audio signals may be used to drive speakers of a headset. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method performed by a headset that includes a speaker and an in-ear microphone, the method includes performing a calibration on the headset to obtain a baseline measurement; using, while the headset is being worn by a user, an audio signal to drive the speaker that is arranged to project sound into a canal of a user's ear; capturing as a microphone signal, from the in-ear microphone of the headset, sound from within the canal of the user's ear; determining a parameter associated with the user's ear based at least on the captured microphone signal and the baseline measurement; and transmitting a notification related to one or more characteristics of one or more hearing elements of the user's ear based on the parameter.

Abstract: A plurality of microphone signals can be obtained. In the plurality of microphone signals, speech of a user can be detected. A gaze of a user can be determined based on the plurality of microphone signals. A voice activated response of the computing device can be performed in response to the gaze of the user being directed at the computing device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
