Methods for providing a customized audio experience to a user of an audio output device are provided. A user interface is provided on a user device communicatively coupled to the audio output device, the user interface capable of accepting user input for managing the audio experience for the user. A set of activities is provided via the user interface, wherein each activity in the set invokes a set of behaviors configured for the activity for providing the customized audio experience to the user, wherein each behavior in the set customizes the audio experience for the user. A capability is provided via the user interface for the user to launch an activity from the set for invoking the set of behaviors configured for the activity to receive the customized audio experience.

Methods and systems for generating customized audio experiences

An audio system including a wearable audio device having a sensor to determine a first motion of the first wearable device from a first orientation to a second orientation, a first peripheral device, a first input arranged on, in, or in communication with the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device, and circuitry connected to the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device. The circuitry is arranged to: receive the first input while the first wearable audio device is in the first orientation; receive the first input while the first wearable audio device is moved via the first motion to the second orientation; determine that the first input has been released during or after the first motion; and, adjust a setting of the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device based at least in part on the first motion from the first orientation to the second orientation.

Systems and methods for controlling electronic devices

Various implementations include approaches for controlling a wearable audio device. In some cases, a method includes: detecting an initiation trigger for initiating a spatialized augmented reality (AR) menu mode; providing at least two distinct audio choices corresponding with spatially delineated zones in a menu defined relative to a physical position of the wearable audio device, in response to the initiation trigger, wherein each audio choice is associated with a selection from the menu; receiving a selection command indicating selection of one of the audio choices, wherein the selection command comprises a gesture detected by a gesture detection system at the wearable audio device; and in response to receiving the selection command: a) initiating playback of audio content associated with the selected audio choice, b) adjusting a setting at the wearable audio device, c) entering an additional menu related to the selection command, or d) exiting the menu.

Spatialized augmented reality (AR) audio menu

Various implementations include approaches for controlling a wearable audio device. Particular approaches include: receiving data indicating the wearable audio device is proximate an additional wearable audio device worn by an additional user and running a personally attributed audio engine; and initiating personally attributed audio playback at the wearable audio device, where the personally attributed audio playback includes audio playback associated with the additional user.

Personally attributed audio

Various implementations include approaches for dynamically demonstrating device capabilities in a wearable audio device based upon detected environmental conditions. In certain cases, these approaches include initiating a demonstration using the wearable audio device to provide the user with an example of the device capabilities, based upon detected environmental conditions proximate the wearable audio device and/or a biometric state of the device user.

Dynamic capability demonstration in wearable audio device

An audio system and method for sending sensor data including a first wearable audio device having a speaker, a first communication module arranged to establish a first connection with a first peripheral device and obtain a first data characteristic of the first wearable audio device, and obtain a second data characteristic of a first application running on a first peripheral device, and a sensor arranged to obtain a sensor data. The first wearable audio device or the first peripheral device are arranged to: compare the first data characteristic and the second data characteristic, and send or receive the sensor data obtained from the sensor to the first peripheral device for use with the first application if the first data characteristic and the second data characteristic match.
