Wow I almost feel singled out by this. But I presume that this is supposed to be in public. Which by every account is a dick move.
However I do this in private, I.e. in my car or at home. And the reason I do it is because I can't hear a call without using the speaker phone. Hearing issues aren't fun.
However the easier solution is headphones, but calls over Bluetooth can make things worse, from battery life to sound quality.
Wired headphones are the preferable solution to this but we all know what happened to those.
TL:DR I do this because of my hearing issues. In public this is a dick move, but headphones aren't the solution they use to be.
but headphones aren’t the solution they use to be.Not true. There’s air conduction, bone conduction(which is the same technology for people who actually do experience hearing loss), wired, non wired, in ear, over ear, on ear, noise cancelling and these are not that expensive that you can get it online so it’s super accessible.
It’s not the early 2000s anymore where you only get buds or on ear or whatever apple bullshit comes with your phone.
People don't have their headphones turned on and in easy reach at all times. If you're doing this in a private space, who cares?
I don’t. I’m responding to the argument that headphones are not what they used to be. that is incorrect. There is more selection and varying types should one be selecting a pair.
