Who the gently caress cares about frequency plots? That's a fallacy.

The issue grack probably has, as do I, is that there's already compressed data with all its artifacts, and it's yet again submitted through another lossy codec. I don't want any ringing artifacts and other poo poo to become audible. Doesn't help that I was inadvertently trained to notice them back in the old days, hanging out on Hydrogenaudio. Nor does it help that I listen to electronic music, which exacerbates issues with psychoacoustics.

android can't do Bluetooth audio without your music ducking out at random every 30 seconds so no headphone jack is real bad. if they didn't blow at Bluetooth then whatever.

you knew this was inevitable

what's really fun with usb type c is that it can either carry analog audio in alternate mode or whatever it is, so you'd only need effectively a cheap pin-adapter to use regular headphones, or if the headphones were usb-c then they wouldn't need a dac. oooorrrrrrr the phone doesn't do that and therefore you do need a dac.

so i'd expect future anroid lols with a clusterfuck of usb to 3.5mm audio adapters and endless end user confusion :toot:

how does android suck so bad at bt. i listen to music via a sb360 in my car for years now with an iPhone 5 and now 7. it sounds identical to the hardwire and it hasn't ever hosed up on me. I turn on the car, it connects in 2 seconds, I hit play and it continues from where it left off every time. what is so loving hard about that?

There's nothing wrong with the bt implementation in android, it's the implementation of bt in the pixel that sucks.

TBQH lets just remove the batteries from phones entirely. Give them some slow-drain capacitors with like 5 minutes of juice max. Can't afford an induction charging pad whereever you go? Sounds like you need a flip phone, poor.

who the gently caress is transferring files to their telephone with a wire in 2017?

I wanted to transfer over some music to my new phone that wasn't on Spotify. I tried Bluetooth but it said it was going to take like 3 hours so I plugged it in and it took 4min

i can't use ear buds because they give me ear infections so i invest in nicer over ear headphones instead and the difference between Bluetooth and wired there is noticeable.
