ifffff only weeee had the technologyyyyyy to have a port dedicated to audio... we can just wish that they will be able to develop it with quantum computers.

Google: Crea un app solo per cuffie con il cavo
Altre aziende: Creano smartphone senza jack per le cuffie
Utenti: ... ok.

What is sound amplifier actually? Is it the opposite of noise cancelling function on headphones?

[@aptrevixle269]

Right, you can hear your surroundings louder

[@trytobekind877]

Can we use Sound Amplifier as an equalizer?

[@justinw7323]

Its weird. I could hear birds from the neighborhood within the headphones. Kinda reminds me of a hearing aid.

[@pawansitole668]

Super

[@jeetendrajagwani]

Its junk! I dont know how people test it. Its in no way comparable to a hearing aid. There s no AI or anything involved here. Its just amplifies the surrounding sound. And you will be able to hear everything around you a little sharper...everything, except the person s voice!! I cant figure out how has given anything higher than one star and how has this app gone through Google s QA team?!? The only reason I invested my time in trying it is that its from Google.

[@robertb.3651]

It doesn't work with Bluetooth 😲 ??? WTF who the hell uses cable earphones these days 🤯??? Many phones doesn't even have a headphone jack 👎👎👎👎!!!!
