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

audiophiles and introverts in hard agreement in this one. handshake meme.
I'm neither and i dont mind listening to the classical radio station on my phone in my house, or seeing the odd cooky character passing by with their music for a moment. as long as they're only passing thru...
Literally only glitch-hop and lofi. Nothing that's intended to sound Good Should be played on phone speakers

They want to inform the public of their incredible taste in music or their unfathomable depth of intelligence.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
I still use my wired headphones that I got with my phone from 4 generations ago
I still use the wired ones that came with my zune back in like 2006. They were incredibly good headphones for some reason. Thankfully, I don't use them much. Otherwise, they would probably be broken by now. Im going to be sad when they fo break one day.
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?
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.
While I would never listen to music in public on my phone speakers, I have to say that they are just as good as, if not better than, transistor radios I have had.
Worst offenders are the people in my apartment block who don't seem to realize how small a room an elevator is. I can't even get pissy at them because they know where I live.
I wanna share this to all aunties of my town
Me too. It's just the worst. And a bluetooth speaker (I like the m83) is pretty darn cheap.
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
Yeah... And even when it's reggaeton.
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
