Abstract
Methods and systems are providing for auto-pairing of audio output devices, such as headsets. An audio device that includes at least an audio output component, which is configurable to process audio for a player participating in an online game, may be configured to communicate signals with an audio basestation associated with a game console used in supporting the online game, based on the audio device coming within a determined distance of the audio basestation, validate one or both of the player and the audio basestation based on the communicated signals, pair with the audio basestation based on the validating, and communicate audio with the game console via the audio basestation. The determined distance may correspond to physical contact between the audio device and the audio basestation. The audio device may be a headset. The audio basestation is integrated into the game console or may be a stand-alone device.
