Abstract

Methods and systems of automatically identifying left-right earpieces may provide for determining an orientation of a device, and determining an earpiece orientation of a headset relative to the orientation of the device. Additionally, an audio output of the device may be configured based on the earpiece orientation. In one example, the earpiece orientation indicates whether the earpiece is facing either left or right with respect to the device.
