Abstract

Various embodiments provide systems and methods among wireless earpieces in a wireless communication network that enable balancing the batteries in the wireless earpieces to be depleted at approximately the same rate. Various embodiments intelligently and dynamically swap master/slave roles among two or more Bluetooth® wireless earpieces coupled to a data source device to optimize battery life in both wireless earpieces. The various embodiments provide methods and systems for swapping master-slave roles so that there is less impact on the user experience.
