While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it's pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.

Specifically what it's doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn't get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won't get the effect. And actually it'll just sound weird to them.

virtual 3d sound field speakers

Like an audio hologram?

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Could sort of be described that way. But they basically just shape the sound in a way that your ear hears it with the specific acoustic distortion that normally cues your brain that the sound came from behind you. Or wherever.

So in the sense that a hologram is using different properties of shaping light to trick your eyes that something looks different than it really does, then yeah, audio hologram sort of fits. And similarly, it only works if your ears are exactly where they expect them to be, just like a hologram with your eyes.

Yeah... And even when it's reggaeton.

I like to put my phone on my shoulder(it's not loud enough from a breast pocket) and listen to music on podcasts while I work as headphones are a "safety issue", I honestly don't mind the sound quality

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.

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

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.

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
