Zusammenfassung:	The technology provides a device, such as a wireless earbud, with capacitive sensing capabilities. For instance, the device may include a housing, and a conductive support positioned inside the housing. The device may further include one or more processors configured to measure a combined capacitance of a plurality of electrodes at the conductive support. Based on the combined capacitance, the one or more processors may detect that the conductive support is inserted into an ear. The one or more processors may then operate the device in a first mode based on detecting that the conductive support is inserted into an ear.
