Abstract

Embodiments of wireless audio systems and methods for operation mode switch of wireless headphones are disclosed herein. In one example, a wireless audio system includes a first wireless headphone and a second wireless headphone. The first wireless headphone is configured to establish a first short-range wireless link with an audio source; transmit, to a second wireless headphone, link information associated with the first short-range wireless link; and remove the first short-range wireless link with the audio source in response to the second wireless headphone successfully establishing a second short-range wireless link with the audio source based on the link information. The second wireless headphone is configured to receive, from the first wireless headphone, the link information associated with the first short-range wireless link; and establish the second short-range wireless link with the audio source based on the link information.
