What about this phone?

Besides it feels terrible, the sound lose all the qualities that make it feel decent.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's even worse when you hear it.

Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your "you" time, but when you're riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.

Guy leaving the store this morning was holding his up to his ear while pushing a buggy with the other. Dude had four cases of soft drinks and he wont buy some cheap ear buds.

I'm mostly fine with music. But dammit put the phone to your ear when your on a call in public.

[-] Krimika@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

They want to inform the public of their incredible taste in music or their unfathomable depth of intelligence.

ikr it's so tinny and weird. My monitor has pretty crap speakers but I'll take that over listening to music on a phone anyway lol

Earphones

I’m not defending this, and I know that me using an iPhone is going to be unreliable to 99.9% of Lemmy users, but once upon a time phone audio was in mono and it sucked. Idk if Apple did this first - I imagine they stole it from Android like every feature - but whoever had the idea to use the ear speaker as a second audio channel was a genius. Listening to music on iPhone speakers is like 100x better today than it was like 5 years ago.

This is what happens when they take headphones jacks away.
People just don't bother.

This is what happens when there is no headphone port

They are probably listening to low quality spotify streams or, worse, compressed mp3, so it's not as if a pair of headphones would make any difference in sound quality...

Although I would love if they kept their shitty music to themselves, I'm not interested in their crap.

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 weeks ago

worse, compressed mp3

Everyone who claims they can distinguish 192kbps mp3 from uncompressed audio can also hear the flea cough, as we say in German.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

Any experienced mixing engineer should be able to tell. Here is your flea whisperer.

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Anybody with a pulse can tell. 192 is absolute dog shit. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7rBH6BxtD9A

Quoting the top comments from that video, not even cherry-picking:

[Please explain] in-depth, what differences you are hearing and where you are hearing them

The “320 kbps MP3s” [used in the test] are either poorly encoded or possibly recompressed

I can only tell the difference on songs that I know.

It's usually the highs where the difference is

(Meaning that the difference is only audible when you’re quite young.)

please make a video on the differences you hear! I can't recognise them at all

This is such a flex

please show us what you're listening for!

This should give you an idea that this guy’s performance is not ordinary, and certainly out of the leage of “anybody with a pulse”.

Phone speakers these days are fairly decent. Will good headphones/speakers with a good DAC and AMP and a lossless audio file sound better? Well, duh. Are phone speakers adequate for the vast majority of people who aren't audio~~snobs~~, sorry, audiophiles? Also yes. Just don't be that asshole using speakers in public spaces.

It's almost always immigrants where I live. I don't know what the fuck is up with that. Also doing video calls and yelling to their phone. It's mad
