Abstract
A wireless audio device is provided. The wireless audio device includes an audio receiving circuit, an audio output circuit, an acceleration sensor, a communication circuit, a processor, and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the wireless audio device to detect an utterance of a user of the wireless audio device by using the acceleration sensor, enter a dialog mode in which at least some of ambient sounds received by the audio receiving circuit are output through the audio output circuit, in response to detecting the utterance of the user, and end the dialog mode if no voice is detected for a specified time or longer by using the audio receiving circuit in the dialog mode.
