Bt and bcc communication for wireless earbuds

A method performed in an electronic device, for controlling the functionality of a pair of earbuds, wherein each earbud of the pair of earbuds is wirelessly connectable to the electronic device and to each other, the method comprising:

• establishing a connection between the electronic device and a first earbud of the pair of earbuds;
• receiving, in the electronic device, a signal from the first earbud identifying a second earbud of the pair of earbuds;
• sending an audio signal to the first earbud;
• and
• switching to sending the audio signal to the second earbud from the electronic device, responsive to a predetermined event.

A first earbud of a pair of wireless earbuds, for controlling the functionality of the pair of earbuds, wherein the pair of earbuds comprises the first earbud and a second earbud which are each wirelessly connectable to an electronic device and to each other, the first earbud comprising:

• communication circuitry for short distance communication;
• processing circuitry configured to:
• establish a connection, using the communication circuitry, between the first earbud and an electronic device;
• receive an audio signal in the first earbud from the electronic device;
• send audio channel data, based on the received audio signal, to the second earbud;
• and
• handover receiving of the audio signal from the electronic device to the second earbud, responsive to a predetermined event.
