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 16):
A first control device comprising:\n a headphone interface; a network interface; one or more processors; a housing carrying the headphone interface, the network interface, the one or more processors and data storage having stored therein instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the first control device to perform functions comprising: while headphones are disconnected from the first control device, receiving, via a network interface of the first control device, an indication of particular audio content being played back by a first zone of a media playback system, wherein the first zone comprises one or more playback devices that are separate and distinct from the first control device and connected to the first control device via a local area network; while the particular audio content is being played back by one or more playback devices of the media playback system, detecting that headphones have been connected to the first control device, wherein headphones are connectable to the first control device via either (a) an analog headphone jack of the headphone interface or (b) a point-to-point personal area network connection via a personal area network interface of the headphone interface; and in response to detecting that the headphones are connected to the first control device of the media playback system: (i) causing, via the network interface of the first control device, the one or more playback devices of the first zone to stop playback of the particular audio content; (ii) retrieving, via the network interface of the first control device, the particular audio content from an audio source that is remote from the first control device; and (iii) resuming playback of the particular audio content via the connected headphones.
