Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for earbud control based on proximity detection are provided. An example method includes transmitting ultrasonic signals and receiving reflected ultrasonic signals. Based at least partially on the reflected ultrasonic signals, a distance of an earbud to an ear canal may be determined. If the distance is above a first predetermined threshold value, a low-power mode is activated. If the distance is below the first predetermined threshold value, a functionality of the earbud is modified. Modifying the functionality of the earbud may include activating a full power mode and may further include determining a quality of a seal, provided by the earbud, in the ear canal. If the quality of the seal is above a second predetermined threshold value, a positive feedback is provided to a user. If the quality of the seal is below the second predetermined threshold value, a negative feedback is provided to the user.
