minus-squareschipelblorp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoThe speaker on my Pixel 7 is plenty loud, but so is the water in the shower. I also listen to podcasts, which are usually mixed quieter than music, and require more volume to pick up quieter consonants.
minus-squareartyom@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoI got a couple Amazon Echo Show 8s and hacked them with Lineage. It doesnt sound great but it at least has more body than my cell phone, so I can actually hear it. And I dont have to mess around with Bluetooth. And there’s no battery.
