1. An apparatus comprising:
- a speaker interface configured to provide audio to a wearable speaker and to receive speaker return signals generated by the wearable speaker;
a user detection module configured to determine a user-related parameter based on the speaker return signals received by the speaker interface from the wearable speaker, wherein the user-related parameter indicates whether or not the wearable speaker is being worn by a user; and
a user present module configured to provide a user present indication responsive to the user detection module determining that the wearable speaker is being worn.
