Abstract
The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods to permit control and operation of an electronic device while participating in another activity, including a variety of sports and recreational activities. A control device, breakaway connector, and one or more speakers and microphones are provided and configured to enhance the ability of users to answer or end telephone calls or start, stop, or resume audio output to the speakers while a user is in motion or wearing gloves that would render the use of conventional call answer buttons difficult or impossible.
