A method for interrupt based pairing for wireless audio devices includes determining a colocation of a wireless audio device with a subsequent wireless audio device with one or more sensors. An interrupt is generated in response to determining the colocation. A pairing mode of the wireless audio device is enabled in response to the interrupt. The wireless audio device is paired with the subsequent wireless audio device.

A headset with a proximity control is provided. The headset comprises at least a first earpiece, a second earpiece, and a control device. To reduce the power consumption of the headset, the control device is configured to determine proximity between the first earpiece and the second earpiece, and, depending on the determined proximity, to set the headset to a low-power mode, in which at least one component of the headset is disabled to save power.
