Abstract:
The present technology relates to a headphone and a reproduction control method that enable external sound to be caught more easily and promptly, and a program.
The headphone includes: a sound collecting unit configured to collect outer sound; a detection unit configured to detect a specific motion to a sensor unit for capture of the outer sound; and a reproduction control unit configured to cause, in a case where the specific motion is detected, the outer sound collected by the sound collecting unit to be reproduced and volume of audio under reproduction to be reduced or the reproduction of the audio to stop. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a headphone.
