I'm not one to normally rant...

But I truly, truly despise loudspeaker music phones. On every train and bus in the UK now it seems to have become law to have at least one halfwit broadcasting their feeble collection of chart-filler-dross and repetitive, cookie-cutter club-rhythms through a pair of tinny speakers embedded in their mobile.

You get better sound quality through headphones if you actually want to enjoy your music, but you'd think some vague concept of respect for other people would prevent you making unecessary, annoying noise in public places?

Bah.

Rant over. Lousy speakerphones.

The music's never ever anything good is it? It's never the Mars Volta, or Lou Reed. Just always the shittest chart dance imaginable, and loud enough to drown out the music on my ear phones. Kids eh?

Everytime I get the train, theres always some school kids on there, with some ******* hardcore techno track playing through some tiny phone speekers. it sounds stupidly whiny.

Darn kids should be in school!

Back in my day we just sat in the corner quietly until it was time for bed

imo the least manufacturer's could do is limit the noise level on speakerphones- it's not as if they make a particularly great sound to begin with so why amplify it?

[composite word including 'f*ck'] that ****!
Crappy music through a crappy ******* mono speaker.
Why was this **** invented?

I have no problem with kids being kids (read: assholes). It's part of being a kid.
But the god damn music phones are too much. Crap quality, so loud that it hurts your ******* ear and Gwen Stefani.

Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I never understood this either. Don't they sell headphones in the stores anymore?

Gwen Stefani rocks....

And they need to release some models with stereo-speakers, and GOOD ones! So that there'll be more quality sounds coming from the phones.

Oddly enough, these things don't appear to have reached my small part of this thinly populated country of mine... ^^

I'd rather I didn't have other people's sound pollution inflicted on me, personally...

Never understood it myself either.

On a similar note, my neighbours play from Celine Deon to Happy Hardcore at a stupidly high vloume.

Now I don't mind loud music and I'll pump up the volume! But I make sure it sounds right. They have it too loud for their speakers so u can hear the speakers farting, even through my floor (probably blown them).

I can't really complain though, they have to put up with me playing WoW unil 3am some nights. 4 out of 7 nights I'm raiding, which means Team Speak on until about 00:00. LOL me and 24 others from Israel to Ireland arguing over who just caused us to wipe

Must sound nuts to them.

So yeah, it's totaly the sound quality issue. I never understood the whole 3rd, 4th.........33 and a 1/3rd copy tape thing in the eighties either, all that hissing and echoing like it was recorded in a church hall, a church hall filled with snakes!

On the plus side, the result of researching into longer lived batteries to appease these people allows the rest of us to maintain longer periods between needing a recharge.

Thats kinda a lame thing to do. Biggest annoyance I ever deal with is jackasses who listen to their iPods with only one earpiece in as loud as they can.

You got a lot of douchebags over there to pull that manuever on a bus.
