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.
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.
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.
