Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a wireless earbud headphone that is shaped to fit to an ear of a user and includes a Hall sensor;
a subsequent wireless earbud headphone that is shaped to fit to another ear of the user;
the wireless earbud headphone including a processor and memory, wherein the memory comprises instructions that execute on the processor and are configured for:
measuring a magnetic field generated from the subsequent wireless earbud headphone with the Hall sensor of the wireless earbud headphone;
comparing the magnetic field to a magnetic field threshold, wherein the magnetic field threshold corresponds to a colocation of the wireless earbud headphone to the subsequent wireless earbud headphone within a threshold distance;
generating an interrupt in response to the magnetic field meeting the magnetic field threshold to determine the colocation of the wireless earbud headphone with the subsequent wireless earbud headphone; and
pairing the wireless earbud headphone with the subsequent wireless earbud headphone in response to the interrupt.
