Piezoelectric polymer-based acoustic electronics hold great potential for human-machine interaction in intelli gent acoustic systems, owing to their inherent wideband characteristics. However, conventional acoustic elec tronics are often constrained by unidirectional response, poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and low sensitivity. To address these challenges, we propose a controllable, hollow-structured piezoelectric nanofiber that simulta neously optimizes the intrinsic crystallization behavior and acoustic absorption of PVDF. This approach enables the fabrication of a high-performance hollow nanofiber-based acoustic sensor (HAS). The resulting HAS dem onstrates a maximum sensitivity of 418 mV/Pa, a 209% improvement over leading reference sensors, together with a 365% enhancement in SNR (290 ± 4.7 dB) and a 500% increase in frequency resolution (0.1 Hz) compared to state-of-the-art and commercial counterparts. By integrating the HAS into a 3D sphere, we demonstrate omnidirectional, high-performance 3D sound recognition and localization, achieving an angular resolution of 10?. This hollow collaborative regulation technology exhibits a promising pathway for advancing piezoelectric bioelectronics
