1. An audio device comprising:
- a first sound device;
a second sound device;
a housing electrically coupled with the first sound device via a first flexible connector and electrically coupled with the second sound device via a second flexible connector, the housing comprising an input module to receive a user input or a sound from outside of the audio device;
a sensor to obtain information related to the first sound device or the second sound device; and
a processor adapted to;
determine that the first sound device is attached to the second sound device based at least in part on the information; and
deactivate the input module based at least in part on the determining that the first sound device is attached to the second sound device.

11. An audio device comprising:
-
a first sound device; a second sound device; a sensor to obtain information related to the first sound device or the second sound device; and a processor adapted to; output, using the first sound device or the second sound device, a sound while the audio device is in a first power state; determine that the first sound device is attached to the second sound device based at least in part on the information; transition the audio device from the first power state to a second power state, based at least in part on the determining that the first sound device is attached to the second sound device; and stop the outputting of the sound while the audio device is in the second power state. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An audio device comprising:
-
communication circuitry to establish, a communication connection with an external electronic device; a first sound device; a second sound device; a sensor to obtain information related to the first sound device or the second sound device; and a processor adapted to; determine, using the sensor, that one of the first and the second sound devices is presented at a first ear and another of the first and second sound devices is not presented at a second ear; obtain, using the communication connection, a sound corresponding to a content stored in the external electronic device or a call with respect to the external electronic device; and output the sound via the one of the first or second sound devices based at least in part on the determining, the outputting including refraining from outputting the sound via the other of the first and second sound devices. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
