#audio quality

Introduction: In an era where streaming dominates the way we consume media, it's easy to overlook the enduring benefits of physical media like DVDs and Blu-rays. While streaming services offer convenience and on-demand access to a vast library of content, there are several advantages to owning DVD and Blu-ray collections that are worth considering. In this article, we will explore the unique benefits that these fiscal media formats still offer in the age of streaming.

Seamless Access: One major advantage of owning DVDs and Blu-rays is that they provide seamless access to content without the need for a stable internet connection. While streaming platforms depend on a reliable internet connection, physical media ensures that you can watch movies and TV shows anytime, anywhere, even in remote or low-connectivity areas.

Superior Quality: Although streaming services have made significant strides in improving their video and audio quality, there is still a noticeable difference when compared to Blu-ray. Blu-ray discs offer uncompressed audio and pristine high-definition video quality, providing a true cinematic experience that streaming platforms struggle to replicate. For movie enthusiasts who appreciate superior visual and audio quality, physical media is the way to go.

Preservation and Collectability: DVDs and Blu-rays allow movie fans to build an impressive collection of their favorite films and TV shows. Physical media provides a sense of ownership and allows for displaying and showcasing one's collection. Furthermore, DVDs and Blu-rays often come with exclusive bonus content such as behind-the-scenes footage, director's commentaries, and deleted scenes, enhancing the overall viewer experience.

Reliability and Longevity: Streaming platforms occasionally remove titles from their catalogs due to licensing agreements, leaving viewers disappointed when their favorite shows or movies suddenly become inaccessible. With DVDs and Blu-rays, there are no concerns regarding titles disappearing suddenly. Owners can watch their favorite movies and TV shows at their leisure, without any interruptions, and can share them with friends and family without limitations.

Enhanced Extras and Special Editions: Physical media often brings with it a range of extra features and special editions that streaming platforms may not offer. Collectors and film enthusiasts appreciate the extra content, which can include documentaries, interviews, and visual enhancements. Special editions with limited-edition packaging or added memorabilia can also enhance the overall viewing experience and make physical media more appealing to fans.

Hey guys. You know something that I keep my wired/wireless headphones after my thoughts or using them was good, but thinking I could've testing them to see which of my headphone sets is better to hear in good quality; whether using the tablet to listen to music/videos through YouTube or playing games on my Nintendo Switch. So today, I'm showing off my three headphones to bring my thoughts of which one is better for it's audio quality to listen and some details that I happen to write down on from yesterday; just in case. It'll be for my P-Pal @murumokirby360 as I promised to since we talk through in message months ago. Hoping I can get it right to deliver this. Without further ado, let's get into my thoughts about my three headphones and it's audio quality.

Brookstone Wired Car Ear Headphones

This one I obtain back in Nov. 7th, 2017 is the most huge headphone that it created; if you counted the cat ear speakers reached on top and hard to get around while sitting the car seat in front. ^^* It's branded by Brookstone Store and to other products that I would check it out later. For it weight (that I look through Amazon.com's info) was 2.49 pounds and inches of 10.04 x 6.69 x 3.15. I don't know what is which of inches, but guessing it was like that. Also if I remember that it included the detachable mic to communicate to everyone, detachable cable to plug in as well, and turning on LED lights and speakers by buttons, but only will lasted up to 5 hours til it needs recharge again. Now for the audio quality that I tested out was pretty great actually when I turned up the volume high for my tablets and my Nintendo Switch. So when I checked on Amazon.com to look on more info. I discover for it's frequency response was 20Hz-20KHz, 32 Ohm impedance, and 40mm drivers. Whatever it was, it was a good one when I'm using this headphone that has a great audio quality and helps to block background noises from what family doing. The cat ear speakers work great as well that had a same frequency response numbers, but difference of 4 Ohm impedance and 32mm drivers.

JBL T450BT Wireless On-Ear Headphones

My first bluetooth wireless headphones that my mom give me since back in June 15th, 2018 really works of how it easy to flat folding to put on pocket on pants. It's a really fitting headphone that weights 5 ounces and inches of 1.81 x 8.54 x 7.17. The paddlings is soft yet small to compare from my Brookstone headphone. It's feels nice for my ears though while wearing it and listen to music about 11 hours til powered down; after that I had to charge it up for 1 to 2 hours with USB cable. Now for the audio quality with being good of 80 frequency response, 18,000 Hz and Impendance, and 16 ohms that I look through Amazon.com's info. The audio quality was good, but almost to blocking any background noises nonetheless.

Vivitar Lvl Up Pro Gaming Headset

Lasty since August 31st of this year, my mom give me a surprise gift for me that it'll do works on Nintendo Switch/Xbox One/PC as a gaming headset. I know about this third headphone gaming set that I already covered from my previous Tumblr Post (Link Here) However, I was curious about it's frequency response or it's weight that I tried to look up through Google searches, but hard to find. So I'm picking that it had almost weight and inches from my Brookstone Headphone, but at least lighter to carry around and while sitting in the front seat car. The sound quatily was good, but not enough to block off some background noises whether using my tablets or playing on my Nintendo Switch. On the upside, I happen to test the foldable mic part by going to mictests.com. (Link Here) It really works when I testing saying "Hello." Wonder if it works for my Brookstone headphone? I could saved it for another time soon.

Conclusion:

The results was good for my headphone's audio quality, but I'm definitely go for my Brookstone Headphone Set of how it handle well for it's frequency response, the padding design that fits my ears, and addition of cat ear speakers that it's good to use on parties, but not inside of familie's home sometimes. ^^* Although it had some misses like for example it supposed to light up LED Lights on four parts, but for mine was kinda broken that it now light up just one on the left side headphone. Bummer is that I didn't know how to fix it up....<=(

Nevertheless, I can still using my Brookstone Headphone for my tablets and Nintendo Switch as long if it last to hold; Otherwise I could get another one eventually. At least I got other two headphone that are still working to use, especially with my wireless bluetooth that I'm only to bring while sitting through my mom's car or at my program's bus. Hope you'll like my thoughts about my three headphones that I already test it out for it's audio quality and details. =)

Virtual writing group people - does my voice quality sound really bad when we have our sessions? And/or has there been a change in the quality of the sound since we started?

At the writing group sessions, I’m using the same headset but my work laptop and different software, so this should narrow down whether I should blame the headset.

Now that we’re at the end of the year, I’ve spent a good chunk of time listening to the dulcimer recordings I’ve made in 2019 (and before). One thing I’ve noticed a lot though is that the audio quality isn’t always the best. It doesn’t seem to matter if the video is being hosted by Tumblr or Vimeo--the same quirks are audible. (Example--Hear how the audio kind of trembles/wobbles?) This is something I’d like to improve in future videos.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do it?

My dulcimer is currently in the corner of a room. Should I move it to a more open space? Should I invest in an external microphone? Is it the file type (mp4)?

I don’t hear the problem when I listen to the video after recording, which makes me think it might be something to do with transferring the file to mp4. If that’s the case, I don’t know if there’s much I can do about it.

why do I have to crank it the fuck up to hear these whispering ass mfs and then suddenly someone starts yelling at full fucking volume and i have a goddamn heart attack and almost crash the car
