Abstract

A system for operating an earbud can include a primary processor to control the earbud and operate in a low-power state, a microphone to receive an input, a casing having a speaker configured to provide audio output from the primary processor to a user's ear, the casing being configured to maintain a position in a user's ear canal to maintain a position of the speaker within the user's ear, a listening sub-system to convert the input into an output signal, and a neural net processor to receive the output signal from the listening sub-system and determine whether to generate a wake signal based on the received output signal.
