Abstract
An earbud device having a user interface that incorporates a rotary switch is described. The rotary switch is part of a stem that extends from the main body of the earbud, and can provide file selection and/or volume control functions. The interface can include a pressure switch, which can provide switching between on, off, and sleep modes. The pressure switch can also be positioned on the stem, and in some embodiments the rotary switch can also act as the pressure switch when pressed. In some embodiments the user interface can utilize a combination of rotary switch and pressure switch inputs.
