Abstract
A set of earphones enable a user to automatically activate and/or deactivate an electronic device. The earphones comprise an electronic device controller which controls the operation of an electronic device. The controller is configured to send a signal to an electronic device activation circuit which operates the electronic device based upon a coupling status of the earbuds with the one or more magnetically attractable surfaces and/or one or more magnets. The earphones are usable with an electronic device that is able to be customized to blend in with its background such as when worn with specific clothing.

23. A set of earphones comprising:
-
a. a first earbud comprising a first magnetically attractable surface; b. a second earbud comprising a second magnetically attractable surface; and c. an electronic device controller coupled to the first earbud and the second earbud, wherein the first magnetically attractable surface of the first earbud is configured to removably couple with one of the second magnetically attractable surface and an earphones holder body, and wherein the electronic device controller receives an activation signal based on a decoupling of the first magnetically attractable surface of the first earbud with one of the second magnetically attractable surface and the earphones holder body. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
