Beamforming output audio using open headphones

A wearable audio output device (e.g., headphones) having an open design that allows ambient noise to pass to a listener without physically isolating the listener from a surrounding environment. The device may include an open earcup design that may partially or completely surround the listener's ear, and in some examples a portion of the listener's head may be uncovered by the open earcup. To improve comfort, the device includes a floating audio component configured to generate output audio in a direction of the listener's ear without contacting the listener's ear. To reduce audio leakage into the environment, the floating audio component may include two audio transducers and perform beamforming to target the output audio toward the listener's ear and cancel the output audio in other directions. For example, the beamforming may cause constructive interference in one direction and destructive interference in all other directions.
