A method for audio-based social media messaging for a wearable device includes generating a first audio message using a wearable device, the wearable device having at least one microphone and at least one speaker and conveying the first audio message from the wearable device to an audio-based social media platform using a wireless radio transceiver within the wearable device.

A system, method and one or more wireless earpieces for authenticating utilization of one or more wireless earpieces. A request is received through the one or more wireless earpieces. Biometric readings are performed for a user utilizing sensors of the one or more wireless earpieces. The biometric readings are analyzed to determine whether a biometric profile authorizes the one or more wireless earpieces to fulfill the request. The request is authenticated in response to determining the biometric profile authorizes fulfillment of the request.

A wireless earpiece includes a wireless earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the wireless earpiece housing, at least one microphone operatively connected to the processor, and at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor. The processor is configured to receive audio from the at least one microphone, perform processing of the audio to provide processed audio, and output the processed audio to the at least one speaker. The processing of the audio involves identifying body generated sounds generated by a body of a user of the wireless earpiece and removing the body generated sounds.
