    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for motion-based output of audio content are provided. The motion-based output of audio content may include synchronizing a tempo and a phase of audio content being output with a cadence and a phase of a cyclic movement of a user of an electronic device. The motion-based output can be performed by a system-level process such that synchronizations to motion cadence and phase can be provided for local audio content and/or audio content from any of various content streaming sources. The motion-based output can also account for algorithmic and/or transmission latencies, to output beats of the audio content in sync with user footfalls, including in implementations in which wireless headphones or earbuds are used. Tempo and phase matching can also be provided across a delay or interval in which there is no output of audio content, such as during the gap between adjacent songs in a playlist.
