Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless earset including a housing, and a first antenna, a second antenna, a switching circuit, and a control circuit disposed in the housing. There is an interval between a first position where the first antenna is disposed in the housing and a second position where the second antenna is disposed in the housing. The first antenna and the second antenna generate different radiation patterns. The control circuit controls the switching circuit to electrically connect the first antenna or the second antenna, so that the first antenna and the second antenna transmit a first radio frequency signal output by the control circuit at different times. The control circuit determines a received signal strength of the first antenna and the second antenna, and controls the switching circuit to connect the first antenna or the second antenna with a greater received signal strength to receive a second radio frequency signal.
