Abstract
Various implementations include wearable audio devices and related methods for controlling such devices. In some particular implementations, a computer-implemented method of controlling a wearable audio device includes: receiving an initiation command to initiate a spatial audio mode; providing a plurality of audio samples corresponding with spatially delineated zones in an array defined relative to a physical position of the wearable audio device, in response to the initiation command, where each audio sample is associated with a source of audio content; receiving a selection command selecting one of the plurality of audio samples; and initiating playback of the source of audio content associated with the selected audio sample.
