1. Who uses loudspeakers nowadays anyway
  2. It's mainly if you lay the phone down flat because the speaker is on the back of the phone. It's a similar issue with the Nexus 7 but it is not as bad as the 4. Other than that, it isn't that problematic.

  3. Really? I hate all their sound quality, last quality speaker I tried was Nokia 5800's, stereo and with great quality too. All I've tried since then are crap, so I only use headphones or line-in to bigger speakers.

  4. How about using wireless headsets, bluetooth ones for example?

  5. Well I would say it's easier, cause when you're cooking "and stuff" you won't hear things properly anyway, which makes it not so good for spoken word such as audiobooks.
  6. +1 ^
  7. Wireless headsets have to be charged, you have to buy them, they may get lost?

    Or you just use your speakers.
  8. And you get a lot more isolated from the things around you with headphones...

    And they are pricey
  9. Quality = €$£


  10. Canthear timers going off or the doorbell ring etc with headphones. A decent speaker is best for 15 minute sessions of listening. Nokiaa are usually grand on this front.
