  • a sensor;

    a processor;

    a memory; and

    a media playback component, wherein the memory comprises computer readable code which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to;

    playback media, at a first moment in time and by the media playback component, with a first playback value of a playback characteristic, wherein the playback characteristic comprises at least one of the following;

    volume level, spectral content, brightness level, or white point;

    determine, at a second moment in time after the first moment in time, a relationship value of a relationship characteristic between the electronic system and a second electronic system, wherein the relationship characteristic comprises position information for the electronic system in relation to the second electronic system;

    transition, at a third moment in time after the second moment in time, playback of the media to the second electronic system, wherein the transition comprises stopping the playback of the media by the media playback component and starting playback of the media by the second electronic system;

    receive, at a fourth moment in time after the transition and from the sensor of the electronic system, a second playback value of the playback characteristic of the media, the sensor sensing the second playback value during playback of the media by the second electronic system after the transition;

    generate an adjustment instruction based on the relationship value and a comparison of the first playback value and the second playback value; and

    transmit the adjustment instruction to the second electronic system, the adjustment instruction dictating an adjusted value of the playback characteristic for the media played back by the second electronic system at a fifth moment in time after the transition.
