Abstract

A communication apparatus capable of easily switching communication between the communication apparatus and an external reproduction device. A communication section performs wireless communication with an earphone that is capable of automatically switching audio data transmitted from a plurality of communication apparatuses including the communication apparatus and reproducing the audio data. A state detection section detects whether or not the communication apparatus is used by a user. In a state in which the communication apparatus has not been used, when it is detected that the communication apparatus is used, the communication unit transmits a reproduction switching signal for switching the earphone to a state for reproducing audio data transmitted from the communication apparatus to the earphone before transmitting the audio data.
