Can’t wait for people with these to talk on speakerphone in public (or just play their music at max volume)
On the other hand I wonder if “600% higher” is just 8.5 dB louder. (700% total) - which isn’t nothing, but “In general, to measure loudness, a sound must be increased by 10 dB to be perceived as twice as loud.”
Yeah, as someone who uses public transport having the noise nuisances get 600% louder really doesn’t sound too great.
Sometimes I wear headphones/earbuds without the music on, just to drown at the noise.
Get ones that isolate noise well.
Hahaha this, I have ANC headphones and I always have them on, rarely any music.
In the past with my in-ear buds I would always listen to some random stuff just to get rid of that noise, which makes no sense and left me mentally exhausted
These go to 11.
Those will… not sell. Elementary school kids have smart phones. This isn’t 2009 when the cool kids are sharing earbuds to listen to their Zune.
I’m gonna buy an aux cable and blast a feedback loop until the battery explodes. I’d like to see your zune do that!
Train dudes rubbing their hands in anticipation
Here a truth no one wants to acknowledge: smart phones suck. Both iOS and Android are awful. Phones are unrepairable future e-waste. Being able to use your phone as a desktop has never happened beyond Samsung’s DeX for reasons I can’t comprehend, because there’s no good reason they couldn’t be. Smart phones are trash and have made the world a worse place.
RIP to everyone in a subway car with some asshole that has this phone.
I just want a phone designed to make spoken word more audible in noisy environments, so I don’t have to use some sketchy app when I’m trying to hear a poorly balanced podcast over the stove fan while cooking.
This just sounds like q feature that I’ve literally never seen anyone ask for outside of that or movies, basically
Try out Shokz bone conducting headphones. They are awesome, you can hear the world around you, and the app has a vocal booster mode that makes listening to podcasts much better. It works really well on my 1.5 hour bike commute in traffic with road noise, and I can still hear the cars passing by.
Highly recommend Shokz! Absolutely love mine
Try new moto phones. They have dolby presets and their podcast preset is quite good. I don’t know if all their phones support it, but most of the new ones have this.
It’s got it’s faults but I love the speakers on my Zenfone 10. Very loud with good bass, especially for a relatively compact phone.
I’d love a phone with a dedicated DAC and decent shielding like the old LG V devices. Whilst there are dedicated DAPs with these features at this point I’d prefer an all in one device. Although the ZD10 has a headphone jack I can hear humming with no music/sound through them -_-
XLR socket or bust!
One headphone jack is enough. Just pair it with a powerful amp and dac like on the LG V-series.
Meme phone for sure but the industry is so boring now that I’ve started to appreciate these occasional weird designs out of China.
Mawp. Mawp. Mawp.
Having a headphone jack is great, but this really is a gimmy
For many people it is necessary
Who? Who needs to be able to plug 2 headphones into their phones?
All I need is one
Two people listening at once, or DJing. It is very gimmicky but has its uses
I like the design.
WHAT?!
Finally the phone for everyone who claims the fairphone is not sustainable anymore because they removed the headphone jack.
“trust me, consooming the green way is going to save the planet. just buy our TWS earbuds, no this is not the reason we removed the headphone jack”
Bet it still doesn’t have an SD card though
Or removable battery
