Abstract: A personal audio device (e.g., headphones, earphones) can have an earpiece (e.g., an ear cup or earbud) with a removable cushioning member (e.g., headphone cushions or ear tips for earbuds). The cushioning member can include an identification tag that encodes identification data for the cushioning member. When the cushioning member is attached to the earpiece, the identification tag is brought into proximity with a tag sensor in the earpiece and the earpiece can read the identification tag to determine identification data for the cushioning member. The identification data can be used to modify a behavior of the earpiece and/or of a host device communicably coupled to the earpiece.

Abstract: A method for automatically producing a video and audio mix at a first portable electronic device. The method receives a request to capture video and audio, performs a network discovery process to find a second portable electronic device, and sends a message to the second device indicating when to start recording audio for a double system recording session. The method initiates the recording session, such that both devices record concurrently. In response to the first device stopping the recording of audio and sound, signaling the second device to stop recording for the identified recording session. In response to the first device receiving a first audio track from the second device that contains an audio signal recorded during the recording session, automatically generating a mix of video and audio, such that one of the audio signals from the first and second tracks is ducked relative to the other.
