Abstract

An electronic device and a method for dynamically adjusting the output of a headset are provided in the invention. The electronic device includes a first connection interface, a processor and a storage device. When the first connection interface is coupled to the detection device, the first connection interface transmits detection-source signals to the detection device, and receives groups of headset output signals corresponding to the detection-source signals from the detection device. When the first connection interface is coupled to the detection device, the processor obtains gain information according a plurality of groups of measured headset signals corresponding to the groups of headset output signals, and when the first connection interface is coupled to the headset device, the processor dynamically adjusts the output of the headset device according to the gain information. The storage device is coupled to the processor and stores the gain information.
