# startStatusUpdates(to:withHandler:)

Starts headphone status updates, providing data to the given handler through the given queue.

```
func startStatusUpdates(to queue: OperationQueue, withHandler handler: @escaping CMHeadphoneActivityManager.StatusHandler)
```

## Discussion

If a compatible set of headphones is already connected before you call this method, the handler is called with a status update of [`CMHeadphoneActivityManager.Status.connected`](/documentation/CoreMotion/CMHeadphoneActivityManager/Status/connected) for the connected headphones.
