06 May 2018
High profile brands slowly adopted the stereo sound, but most are still stuck in the mono days. Some are trying to innovate, though.

            Anonymous, 10 May 2018try bose revolve How the bose revolve pump the deep bass on it small unit and how the bose revolve restore the stereo audio? how can it play a lossless audio without distortion under a bluetooth transmission? I had experience a mono speaker and stereo speakers quality and I prefer the latter. I had try a audio quality without subwoofer and with subwoofer and I prefer the latter too. I just haven experience the LDAC but I had experience the DSEE HX and I believe Sony quality.

              Anonymous, 10 May 2018I'm talking even expensive ones and even through 3.5 connection Did you ever try all the expensive one? Impossible. How can I take your words seriously, if you are an audiophile how can you be sure you are still using a smartphone for music listening, you should get more seriously on so much music entertainment.

This is one of the reason why Sony sharing their LDAC technology to recent android development, but did other OEM develop it as well as Sony? I doubt they are all behind Sony. If you have big money go for better quality with the strong currency.

                            They claim to be so high end and such good quality even thatare not. And everyone eats it all up as long as they can pump some bass. But they tend to lack quality and lots of range.

                            And again that's evenin the more expensive ones let alone the affordable ones. But the average listener with pop and bass music doesn't notice so it continues on.

                            And no way I would ever pay over 100 for a bluetooth speaker just because it's loud. Let alone 2 or 300 dollars.
                            I can go online and get a 1000 watt blue ray home theater system for 150 to 200.
                            Nothing in those speakersare worth that kind of price. But because they get loud and have good bass for a bluetooth speaker people fall for it and buy them

                                  If you want quality sound from you phone connect it toy our hadphones / speaker system. Have it embedded on a device with a limited footprint is a recipe for disaster.

                                    Mono speaker is good in midrange, nowadays all flagships should have stereo speakers and improve the sound quality. Design the stereo speakers at one side is terrible idea, the stereo speakers should place the speakers at the top and bottom of the phone and also must front firing.

So.e stereo setups actually have much louder and better sound. And sometimes there's just different software levels set for ringtones and media.
