Audio synchronization is provided. A method includes establishing, by a primary earbud of a pair of earbuds, a first connection with a device, the primary earbud receiving audio data from the device via the first connection. The method includes establishing, between the primary earbud and a shadow earbud, a bridge connection, the shadow earbud receiving the audio data and link characteristics via the bridge connection to establish a shadow connection with the device to receive the audio data from the device. The method includes maintaining, by the shadow earbud, a timing relationship between the bridge connection and the shadow connection. The method includes detecting, by the shadow earbud, a failure to receive on the shadow connection. The method includes using, by the shadow earbud, the timing relationship to synchronize a timing window for which to communicate with the device.
