A headset is described which includes a speaker capsule and a headband connected to the speaker capsule with a first sensor on the headset for sensing an angle of rotation of the speaker capsule relative to the headband, and a second sensor on the headset for sensing a Don/Doff event. The angle of rotation sensor can indicate whether the speaker capsule on the headband is in a wearable position or in a non-wearable position. Logic controls an operation of the headset in response, such as changing power management modes, signaling host devices, and enabling/disabling the second sensor.
