Dock for headphones

An apparatus and method of interfacing between a source media device and a destination media device. A wireless module passes through an audio signal from the source device to an output device, and transmits a wireless signal to a wireless device that outputs the audio signal. In this manner, the number of devices used for the connections may be reduced.

Audio connection and transmission device

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless audio source switching. One of the methods includes receiving user input selecting a user interface control corresponding to one of a plurality of paired audio source devices with a wireless audio sink device that is a slave device of a first master/slave connection with a first paired audio source device of the plurality of paired audio source devices. The wireless audio sink device initiates a request to become a master device of a second master/slave connection with a second paired audio source device corresponding to the selected user interface control. The wireless audio sink device sends to the second paired audio source device a request to become a slave device of the second master/slave connection. The wireless audio sink device receives audio input from the second paired audio source device and outputs the received audio input.
