*listens to music using Samsung earphones*
Person next to me: Nice song
Neighbor: Nice song
Aliens: Nice song

Just like Koss PortaPro.
Loudspeakers camouflaged as headphones.

@JTBringe exactly

I always had this with the official apple earphones!

Can't be worse than the Apple ones🙄 so annoying on a train

Cracked me up, when it escalated that quickly. 👍😂

@binarydigit @linuxxx so that's where Samsung copied this feature from 🤔

That's the exact reason to why I bought some closed cans

Plus the sound is a 1000 times better

at least you have a good taste in music

people in other dimensions: Nice Song

Can't relate, mine sound amazing and isolate so well that I can play them on max volume and nobody will ever know

@aaxa dude, literally all studies and science on this and any audio engineer disagrees with you. You need airflow for the best audio.

Not saying closed cans are shit, I'm just saying open is better. There's a reason they exist, and obviously they're not made for use in public, that's pointless because if audio comes out from them, it also comes in and honestly, who wants to listen to traffic or - *shudders* - humans

@nicholai Mate, I'm not an idiot. I'd even say I'm an audiophile myself. What I was referring to was, Closed Cans > Open in-ears.
This has never been a discussion of open vs closed. Besides, you can't say open is better than closed. It very much depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. I mean, a lot of sound producers are using closed cans - and there are various reasons for that.

What kind of earbuds are you talking about?
