Abstract:
Example techniques may involve headphone interaction. An implementation may include while headphones are disconnected from a control device, the control device receiving an indication of particular audio content being played back by a first zone of the media playback system. While the particular audio content is being played back by the one or more playback devices of the media playback system, detecting that headphones have been connected to the first control device. Headphones may be connectable to the control device via either (a) an analog headphone jack or (b) a point-to-point personal area network connection. In response to detecting that the headphones are connected to the control device: the control device (i) causing the one or more playback devices of the first zone to stop playback of the particular audio content; (ii) retrieving the particular audio content and (iii) resuming playback of the particular audio content via the connected headphones.

Claim (Index 6):
The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of  claim 1 , wherein retrieving the particular audio content from the audio source that is remote from the first control device comprises:\n joining the first control device as a second zone into a zone group that includes the first zone; and receiving, via the network interface of the first control device from a zone group coordinator of the zone group, a data stream representing (i) the particular audio content for playback by the first control device via the headphones and (ii) playback timing information indicating a playback schedule for the first control device to play back the particular audio content via the connected headphones in synchrony with the one or more playback devices of the first zone, wherein the one or more playback devices are muted, and wherein the zone group coordinator is a given playback device of the first zone.
