Seriously.
I do like that it tells you, rather than just dying. But who the eff decided it was a great idea to have the low battery voice not only pause the music, but also repeat itself every 3 seconds???
I'm so worked up I'm using italics multiple times over here!!
One of mine doesn't pause the podcast. And when. You are listening at 2.8x you can miss a lot.
Damn, 2.8x. How high pitched is that?
Now highpitched at all. Any decent podcast player will automatically pitch shift the audio to make sure everyone sounds normal.
Interesting. Why do you speed it up? I've never sped anything I listened to up.
So you can listen to more content before the battery finally runs out.
Not OP, but I speed up YouTube all the time watching podcast-like content. If the content is all in the words or audio that's not music, speeding it up doesn't hurt quality, and it helps my ADHD brain stay on topic if they're wheel-spinning for a few seconds with some 'ums', or just rephrasing something.
Basically... It's a really good way to condense compatible kinds of entertainment, at least for me. Unless it's a topic I really have to mull over, the sped up info delivery is priceless.
There's one I listen to that is already sped up in production and I have to slow it down
So much this. I had a cheaper pair of Bluetooth headphones back in the day and when they got 10 percent or so they would loudly (regardless of volume set) proclaim
“BATTERY LOW”
Continue listening for maybe a minute
“BATTERY LOW”
I have maybe 5 minutes before I am home
“BATTERY LOW”
The battery will last till th
“BATTERY LOW”
TILL THEN NO PROBL
“BATTERY LOW”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgrgrggggggggggg
Additionally on some headsets it's also at full volume or it will be at fill volume if you use a volume mixer
They treat it like a low altitude warning in a fighter jet airplane. "Pull up! Pull up! Pull up!"
