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.
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 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.
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.
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 -_-
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.”
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
