Abstract
Various aspects include approaches for proximity-based control in audio devices. In particular implementations, an audio system includes: a set of audio devices, each including: an electrode for detecting an electrical waveform, wherein the electrode comprises at least one of a capacitive electrode or an inductive electrode; and a controller coupled to the electrode, where the controller in a first one of the audio devices is configured to instruct the electrode in the first audio device to transmit an electrical waveform that is detectable by the electrode in a second one of the audio devices for indicating physical proximity of the first audio device to the second audio device, and in response to detecting the electrical waveform, the controller in the second audio device initiates a proximity-based action.
