Abstract

Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for wireless communication between proximate devices are disclosed. A first microphone on a first wearable audio device of a first user receives first audio signals that include speech from a second user proximate to the first user and ambient noise from an environment surrounding the first wearable audio device. The first audio signals are analyzed to determine primary audio directed to the first user. The primary audio is compared to other audio signals received through wireless communication channels between the first wearable audio device and one or more other wearable audio devices. In doing so, some of the other audio signals are determined to be similar to the primary audio and are thus output to the first wearable audio device. As a result, two users can accurately communicate, even in a noisy environment.
