Phone Speaker Comparison Help

[kalmah0804]

Bluetooth distorts the audio? I've never heard that. I've used bluetooth every night for a long time and have had excellent results, so have many others. I think you have nothing to worry about with Bluetooth speakers, putting one on either side of your bed preferably, or even on one side, is WAY better than relying on a cell phone for audio. That's a sharp reduction in performance. I know you say you don't care, but willingly giving up so much performance of a program from the start, makes me wonder what the point would be of doing so. It may be a very intriguing form of resistance I've never heard of before ...keep that in mind and put those Bluetooths to work.

I'm saying for masked for sure, the Bluetooth will be fine and the MOST preferred option by far compared to phone audio of either. Ultrasonic, that's trickier, not all speakers can play it as you may know, so running a test and then checking it with an app and listening for any sounds at all from the speaker is needed.

You can use ALL subs with mono, not just the big 3, Shannon has said that yes. What he ALSO said though, is it's a reduction of performance down to about 40%. And the Lumia is stereo, so no wonder you got much more out of the program on that than the mono of the S6. So, now you want to use a cell phone instead of headphones or speakers...AND you want to use mono on a phone. Hmm, in that situation, it makes me wonder what the point is. I mean sure, it's literally better than nothing, but that's like an obese person eating junk food instead of nothing. Isn't it better to stack the deck as much as possible in your favour?...

Best advice to you. Realise this may be a very advanced form of fear of change and/or resistance, making you find ways to throttle back the power of the programs as much as possible. Plug in the Bluetooth speakers and use them as many hours a day as possible, in retaliation. Headphones at night like my Sleephones Bluetooth if you wish, those are well documented as working beautifully with Shannon's subs so they're a safe bet.

That's the best advice I can give!

Thanks so much for your advice and your speedy reply. Unfortunately, I can't use bluetooth speakers during the day or the night. I'm usually cooped up in a room which has no real table surfaces. The only way I can have a bluetooth speaker is if I place it across the room from where I can sit, and this is out of the range of most bluetooth stereo speakers I can afford. Outside of that, I'm in the car, or briefly in a shop or restaurant or whatever, listening on my phone, which I have in my pocket. I realize that putting people in range of my subs isn't the best idea, but it's usually only for 15-20 minutes tops, and this doesn't seem like it's really a substantial enough of an amount of time to do any real change in them.

Shannon writes this in his thread on cell phone usage:

The only programs that do not use SSE are those that are Type A (the PSE Version 2.0 programs with script which are Type A/B hybrids do not, but that will change when Version 3.0 is released) and those programs that are designed specifically for one gender only, and therefore only use one gender of voice. Those programs use a different method to take the place of SSE, which makes them usable on mono speakers at full effect.

This means you can use PSE on cell phones, and programs like Alpha Male, Alpha Female, and other gender specific programs.

However.

That said... why would you ever use anything but PSE on a cell phone without headphones anyway? You don't want to affect everyone around you, you want to affect yourself only.

It seems to me that based on his explanation, the only real reason I would need to use a stereo speaker is for non-gender specific subs that utilize dual voices, one for each gender. He seems to claim that gender-specific subs only utilize one voice, and as such, would work 100% on mono speakers that could hit the desired frequency range of 20hz-20khz. Am I correct in my understanding of this?

What I'm trying to figure out is the comparison of speaker frequency ranges on my two cell phone options. I realize that nobody really uses windows phone, but if anyone knows of any good web-based spectrum analyzers, perhaps, or something I can download as an app onto my windows phone, or can just help me find the data somewhere on the internet, I'd really like to know which phone I can use to make the subs better for me.

I can't utilize bluetooth or laptop speakers in my current situation right now. I thoroughly enjoy the mobility and freedom I currently have using either of my two cell phone speakers to play the subs, and don't have the economic luxury of purchasing a brand new speaker to fiddle around with. I'd really like to make sure that I'm getting the most of my time using these subs, so if my Galaxy S6 does have better speakers for this stuff than my Windows Phone, I'll make the transition to that--but if my Windows Phone has the better speakers, then I'll stick with that and have to keep both phones with me wherever I am.
