Bluetooth is going to get soooo much better featuring Bluetooth SIG Vice President of Marketing Ken Kolderup Feb 02, 2020

Show notes

Bluetooth LE and the Low Complexity Communications Codec (LC3) are going to make huge improvements to the Bluetooth standard. This will include hearing aids, broadcast communications, audio sharing, multistream audio and more. We met up with Ken Kolderup at CES 2020 and got the low-down of what's coming. It's going to make people's lives better, and significantly raise the bar of baseline audio coming from Bluetooth in general.

SoundGuys wish list for 2020 Jan 01, 2020

Show notes

2020 arrives, and we're excited to see what the new year has in store. But we also have a few wishes along the way. Are true wireless earbuds bad, and even harmful? Will Google's Pixel Buds 2 be great? What about gaming headsets? Will they ever get their stories straight? We're hopeful, and cautiously optimistic. And we're breaking it all down and we have a few more surprises along the way in this episode of the SoundGuys podcast!

The headphone jack debate continues… Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

Lily Katz has this month's Sound Bite and she has something to say about your precious headphone jack. She doesn't need a headphone jack in her phone and she lays out her reasons for it. But how can a true "SoundGuy" (well SoundGirl) not care about the best audio possible? Well, she does. But she doesn't necessarily get it from her phone. Home is where the headphone jack is, after all. Isn't that how the saying goes?

We have all that and a few more surprises along the way in this episode of the SoundGuys podcast!

It's time to take a stand Nov 02, 2019

Show notes

There is a problem brewing in the world that has festered for too long. It's time we all spoke out against this evil that hurts us every day. Of course, we're talking about hand dryers in the bathroom. What else would we be talking about? The fact is, hand dryers are less sanitary than paper towels - but this isn't the Disease Guys Podcast, so why do we care?

It's because hand dryers damage our hearing. It's a fact, and it was proven by a 13 year old scientist with a decibel meter. Twenty-two out of 23 hand dryers tested produced more noise than health officials recommend. For those even shorter, like children, it's even worse.

We have all that and a few more surprises along the way in this episode of the SoundGuys podcast!

Show notes

Today, we take sound in video games from granted. But how did sound evolve from the pings of pong to the toe-curling growls of The Last of Us? What innovations now allow us to slash boxes to the beat in Beat Saber, and what music genres have grown out of the video game community? It's a wild ride with the SoundGuys, and they've brought a friend for the ride. Juan Carlos Bagnell of SomeGadgetGuy.com joins us on our journey through the bleeps and bloops of video game sound.
