Original Abstract Submitted

Various arrangements of wireless earbuds are presented. A first earbud, can include a first speaker, a first processing system, and a first wireless communication interface, that communicates with an audio source device using Bluetooth communications. A second earbud can include a second speaker, a second processing system, and a second wireless communication interface, that communicates with the audio source device and the first earbud using Bluetooth communications. The first earbud and the second earbud may be configured to wirelessly communicate with each other following completion of a first connected isochronous stream (CIS) event for the first earbud and second CIS event for the second earbud within a connected isochronous group (CIG) event.
