Abstract
In some embodiments, a system comprises a host computing device and an audio device including at least one speaker and a plurality of microphones, the audio device being wirelessly and communicatively coupled to the host computing device. The host computing device can include one or more processors and one or more machine-readable, non-transitory storage mediums that include instructions configured to cause the one or more processors of the host computing device to perform operations including: receiving user environment data by one or more sensors of the host computing device; determining a characterization profile of a surrounding environment of the user based on the user environment data; and sending the characterization profile to the audio device, the characterization profile configured to cause the audio device to adapt an audio cardioid pattern of the plurality of microphones on the audio device based on the characterization profile.
