Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes an internal speaker, a communication unit configured to perform a wireless communication with a wearable external speaker, and a control unit. The control unit establishes wireless connection with the external speaker through the communication unit and the control unit continuously performs a control operation for preventing an output of an audio signal from the internal speaker in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation. The control unit cancels performance of the control operation in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a second factor different from the first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation for preventing the output of the audio signal from the internal speaker.
