1. A system, comprising:
a first wireless speaker; and
a second wireless speaker, wherein the first wireless speaker and the second wireless speaker are synchronized via a wireless signal, and wherein the synchronization is determined according to where a listener is located relative to the first wireless speaker and the second wireless speaker.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a volume of the first wireless speaker is determined by a movement of the listener in a first location.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to, according to a movement of the listener, reduce a first volume of the first wireless speaker and increase a second volume of the second wireless speaker.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a volume of the first wireless speaker is determined by a presence of the listener in a first location.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a presence of the listener is monitored according to a signal from a personal electronic device carried by the listener.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein a predicted location of the listener is determined according a schedule of the listener.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a presence of the listener is monitored according to a home control device.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is activated by a voice command.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to monitor a plurality of listeners.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to prioritize a plurality of listeners.
11. A system, comprising:
a first wireless speaker in a first location, wherein:
the first wireless speaker is operable to wirelessly control a second wireless speaker,
the second wireless speaker is in a second location,
a first audio signal output from the first wireless speaker is delayed relative to a second audio signal output from the second wireless speaker, and
the first wireless speaker is operable to synchronize with the second wireless speaker via a wireless signal.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first volume of the first wireless speaker is determined by motion in the first location, and wherein a second volume of the second first wireless speaker is determined by motion in the second location.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein when a listener moves from the first location to the second location, the system is operable to reduce the first volume and increase the second volume.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first volume of the first wireless speaker is determined by a presence of a listener in the first location.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein a presence of a listener is monitored according to a signal from a personal electronic device carried by the listener.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein a predicted location of a listener is determined according a schedule of the listener.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein a presence of a listener is monitored according to a home control device.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is activated by a voice command.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is operable to monitor a plurality of listeners.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein each listener of a plurality of listeners is associated with a priority.
