1. A system comprising:
a first device comprising an audio/video input interface, at least one first network interface, and a housing carrying the at least one first network interface and the audio/video input interface;
a second device comprising at least one second network interface, at least one audio transducer, and at least one wearable housing carrying the at least one second network interface and the at least one audio transducer;
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the system is configured to:
receive, via the audio/video input interface of the first device from a television, at least one input data stream comprising audio;
establish connection of the second device to the first device via a personal area network;
detect, via the second device, a particular set of one or more trigger conditions to transition playback of the audio to the second device;
in response to detection of the particular set of one or more trigger conditions, send, via the at least one first network interface over the personal area network, at least one audio signal representing the audio in the at least one input data stream;
receive, via the at least one second network interface over the personal area network, the at least one audio signal; and
