Abstract:
A computer system establishes a wireless connection with a pair of wearable audio output devices that includes: a first device with one or more first microphones, and a second device with one or more second microphones. The system detects that the first and second devices have been placed in a user's ears, and subsequently: outputs a calibration tone via the first and second devices; and detects first audio via the one or more first microphones of the first device and second audio via the one or more second microphones of the second device. If the first audio does not satisfy device fit criteria associated with the first calibration tone, the system prompts the user to adjust the first device. If the second audio does not satisfy the device fit criteria, the system prompts the user to adjust the second device.
Abstract:
A personal audio device (e.g., headphones, earphones) can have an earpiece (e.g., an ear cup or earbud) with a removable cushioning member (e.g., headphone cushions or ear tips for earbuds). The cushioning member can include an identification tag that encodes identification data for the cushioning member. When the cushioning member is attached to the earpiece, the identification tag is brought into proximity with a tag sensor in the earpiece and the earpiece can read the identification tag to determine identification data for the cushioning member. The identification data can be used to modify a behavior of the earpiece and/or of a host device communicably coupled to the earpiece.
