Abstract

A set of headphones comprising a digital signal processor, a headphone power management unit (PMU) to provide power to the digital signal microprocessor (DSP), a voice pick-up sensor to detect vibrations at a user's head caused by the user talking, and the DSP to determine where the user's voice audio input is picked up via an array of microphones formed into the set of headphones and wherein, when the DSP does not detect the user's voice audio input at the array of microphones, the DSP executes computer-readable program code of a beamforming module to recalibrate an angle of a voice detection zone at which the array of microphones detect the user's voice. The DSP to further calibrate the beamforming angle of the voice detection zone once the user's voice audio input is detected to meet an amplitude threshold level or a signal to noise level threshold level.
