A listening device system comprising: a pair of earbuds comprising a first earbud and a second earbud each comprising at least one magnetic component (325, 330) and an ear interface portion having a circular shape; a case configured to store the first and second earbuds, the case comprising: a first receiving cavity sized and shaped to accept the first earbud, wherein a first portion of the first receiving cavity is sized and shaped to receive the ear interface portion of the first earbud; a second receiving cavity sized and shaped to accept the second earbud, wherein a first portion of the second receiving cavity is sized and shaped to receive the ear interface portion of the second earbud; a first plurality of housing magnetic components (905a-905e) disposed around the first portion of the first receiving cavity that accepts the ear interface portion of the first earbud; a second plurality of housing magnetic components disposed around the first portion of the second receiving cavity that accepts the ear interface portion of the second earbud, and wherein the first plurality of housing magnetic components is arranged to form a first Halbach array proximate the first cavity, and wherein the second plurality of housing magnetic components is arranged to form a second Halbach array proximate the second cavity, wherein the first and second Halbach arrays are configured to attract the first and second earbuds into the first and second receiving cavities, respectively, and magnetically retain them within the respective first and second receiving cavities until they are removed by a user; and a lid operable between an open position in which the first and second receiving cavities are exposed and a closed position in which the lid covers the first and second receiving cavities. a pair of earbuds comprising a first earbud and a second earbud each comprising at least one magnetic component (325, 330) and an ear interface portion having a circular shape;
