Dynamic selection of primary wireless earbud device

A system comprising:

• a first wireless earbud device comprising first memory and at least one first processor configured to access the first memory and execute computer-executable instructions to:
• receive audio data directly from a device over a first connection with the device;
• send the audio data to a second wireless earbud over a second connection;
• determine a first RSSI value for the first connection over a first time period;
• determine a first packet error rate value for the first connection during the first time period;
• determine a first link quality score using a sum of the first RSSI value and one-fourth of the first packet error rate value, wherein the first link quality score is equal to the sum divided by two and subtracted from 100;
• determine that the first link quality score is less than or equal to a handover threshold value;
• cause a second wireless earbud device to receive audio data directly from the device;
• and
• receive the audio data from the second wireless earbud device over the second connection.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a first wireless earbud device, a first RSSI value for a first connection to a device, wherein the first wireless earbud device receives audio data directly from the device;
• determining, by the first wireless earbud device, a first packet error rate value for the first connection;
• determining a first link quality score using a sum of the first RSSI value and one-fourth of the first packet error rate value, wherein the first link quality score is equal to the sum divided by two and subtracted from 100;
• determining, by the first wireless earbud device, that the first link quality score is less than or equal to a handover threshold value;
• causing, by the first wireless earbud device, a second wireless earbud device in wireless communication with the first wireless earbud device to receive audio data directly from the device;
• determining, by the second wireless earbud device, that a second link quality score for the first connection is less than or equal to the handover threshold value;
• and
• causing, by the second wireless earbud device, the first wireless earbud device to receive the audio data directly from the device.
