    Abstract: A wearable audio device according to various implementations includes: an electro-acoustic transducer for producing sound; a proximity sensor that is configured to detect when the wearable audio device is close to a user; an internal microphone positioned within a housing of the wearable audio device and configured to detect sound in a cavity formed at least in part by a portion of the housing; and a processor that is configured to estimate, based on at least the proximity sensor, whether the wearable audio device is in place on the user's body, and to estimate, based on the internal microphone, whether the user has completed handling of the wearable audio device.
