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

Me too. It's just the worst. And a bluetooth speaker (I like the m83) is pretty darn cheap.

I wanna share this to all aunties of my town

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.

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.

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

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.
