Systems and methods for controlling electronic devices

An audio system comprising:

• a wearable audio device having a sensor arranged to determine a first motion of the first wearable device from a first orientation to a second orientation;
• a first peripheral device;
• a first user input arranged on, in, or in communication with the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device;
• and,
• circuitry connected to the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device, wherein the circuitry is arranged to:
• receive the first user input while the first wearable audio device is in the first orientation;
• receive the first user input while the first wearable audio device is moved via the first motion to the second orientation;
• determine that the first user input has been released during or after the first motion;
• and,
• adjust a setting of the wearable audio device or the first peripheral device based at least in part on the first motion from the first orientation to the second orientation and wherein the adjusting of the setting comprises:
• adjusting a first volume of an audio signal produced by a first speaker of the wearable audio device, selecting a level of Active Noise Reduction (ANR), or selecting a preset user routine from a plurality of present user routines, and wherein the adjusting of the setting is proportional to a degree of motion of the first motion about an imaginary axis through the wearable device.
