Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, techniques to process audio signals to lessen the impact that wind and/or other environmental noise has upon the resulting quality of audio signals output on speaker(s) of wireless earbuds or other headphones. For example, the techniques may determine a level of wind and/or other noise in an environment and may determine how best to process the signals to lessen the impact of the noise, such that one or more users that hear audio based on output of the signals hear higher-quality audio. In some instances, the techniques are able to detect levels of wind in a relatively low-power manner and as part of regular operation of the wireless earbuds or other headphones.
