For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

A headphone jack, bluetooth sucks, it's convenient but it sucks. It's audio quality is bad, it's latency is bad... it's just all bad.

[–] draxil@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I only buy phones with headphone jacks. Don't look forward to not having the option.

Id disagree about bluetooth these days. I have a pair of headset I use daily between my computer and phone. Quality is there, ive done side by side conparisons via 2.4ghz dongle, bluetooth and wired (headset supports all) and I cant hear a difference.

Removable battery and optional modules like the LG G5 : VR headset, DAC, ....

Dude, I miss the LG G5 and the V20. Had some pretty good ideas for the time. I liked how the V20 had a tiny always on display so the main display could power down. Although OLED dont have the power drain problem that LCD have when using AOD

If bluetooth is so great why don't they use it for concert audio at big shows?

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its for personal use ya dummy. What a stupid line of questoning

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s an excellent line of questioning, and it conveys the point well.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Really? Something that has a range of 30' (9m) and use it for a fucking concert and use the same frequencies as 1000's of atendees?

Bluetooth is a short range low bandwidth (at least vs wifi, 3/4/5g) protocol. Using it for something well outside its capablilites is stupid. Like taking a mini mudding or hammering in nails using a rachet

You hypothetical situation is just pointing out the very well known flaws of the bluetooth protocol. So once again, what a stupid line of questioning

There may not be a difference when you're sitting in front of a computer but Bluetooth quality can go way downhill if you're trying to listen to earbuds while your phone is in your pocket or a bag or similar, especially if you're moving around and/or there's a lot of electronic interference in the area. My city commute is when I really miss wired listening.

[–] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Bro how shit are your bluetooth headphones?? I’ve had busy city commutes plenty with even cheapoid wireless headphones, iphone 6s, phone in pocket or bag…

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Dude, I live in a faraday cage (lath & plaster with chicken wire embedded in it) and I can walk around my house with little to no issues. Bluetooth 4+ has been rock solid for me. At most my phone disconnects but thats my phones issue. Bluetooth to my PC is perfect an never had any dropouts.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Bluetooth audio can't be bad, it's digital. I would understand it drops packets or is choppy but quality should be given. What can suck is DAC on your headphones, which is the likely culprit.

[–] Pluckerpluck@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Latency is still so bad. It doesn't really have to be either. Low latency tech has existed for ages, but nobody seems to care!!

I can't stand it though. How anyone uses Bluetooth headset with, say, the Steam Deck, I have no idea.
