1. A method for selecting one or more audio capture sensors of wearable devices, the method comprising:
detecting a first signal corresponding with a user's voice using at least one audio capture sensor of a first wearable device, wherein the first wearable device is connected to a peripheral device via a first wireless connection;
detecting a second signal corresponding with the user's voice using at least one audio capture sensor of a second wearable device, wherein the second wearable device is connected to the peripheral device via a second wireless connection, wherein the second wearable device is wirelessly connected to the first wearable device via a third wireless connection, and wherein the third wireless connection is a Bluetooth connection;
sending first voice data from the first wearable audio device to the peripheral device via the first wireless connection; and
in response to determining that the second signal has a higher signal-to-noise ratio than the first signal, sending second voice data from the second wearable audio device to the peripheral device via the second wireless connection.
