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.

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

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!

SoundGuys wish list for 2020

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!

The headphone jack debate continues…

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!

Can music really improve your workout?

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?

Sounding off on privacy

Join our team of experts Chris, Adam, and Lily to explore every facet of audio and related technology. Everything you want to know about the science of sound comes to you monthly. We’re going to show you the world as you’ve never heard it.

Since digital music became popular, audio engineers have been pushing the idea that louder is better. Unfortunately, that just isn’t true. As music gets louder, fine details within the music become undetectable, and the experience is ruined.  This all came to a head in 2008 when the game Guitar Hero had to remix some tracks for the game. Most notably, was Metallica’s Death Magnetic and suddenly, the music sounded better. Since then, it seems the loudness was have come to an end, but we wanted to take a moment to remember this fascinating sonic phenomenon...and pray it never returns.

We love sound here at the SoundGuys, and after a year of podcasting, we've come across a lot of great topics that are super interesting, but there isn't enough there for a full episode. So we're introducing a new kind of episode called Sound Bites. Sound Bites will be short, to the point, give you something really neat, and then let you go about your day.  The first episode will debut on April 1st and every month after that on the 1st. Happy listening!

Introducing Sound Bites

When most of us think of sound, we think about music that gets our foot tapping, or maybe a pleasant background noise like birds chirping or waves washing up against a shoreline. It’s soothing, and calming. But, like most everything else in life, it can also have a darker side. What if you wanted to use sound… ...to harm? Adam Doud fills in for Chris Thomas this month and joins fellow SoundGuys Lily Katz and Adam Molina to take a walk through the darker side of sound.   We have all that and a few more surprises along the way in this episode of the SoundGuys podcast!

CES 2019 Wrap Up

You always know when the holidays are approaching because of the music you hear. From stores to radio stations to shopping malls, you are awash in the spirit of the season. There’s a very good reason for that, but there are also reasons why it can be migraine inducing. Holiday music has a real psychological effect on you - for better or for worse, and we wanted to explore that, and what you can do about it. Featuring special guest interviews with Dr. Eric Spangenberg and Dr. Linda Blair. We even get an appearance of the Grinch, courtesy of Small Town Titans. We have all that and a few more surprises along the way in this episode of the SoundGuys podcast! Correction: During the podcast we introduce Dr. Eric Spangenberg as "Dean of the College of Business at Washington State University." that is an error. Dr. Spangenberg is currently Dean and Professor at the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California Irvine. We are very sorry for the outdated information being relayed in the podcast.

Codecs: The Alphabet Soup That Matters

Three tales that will surprise and shock you. These spooky audio myths come straight from the cult of audiophilia, and we’re here to help you sort through fact and fiction. Are Monster cables any better than coat hanger wire soldered together? What is jitter? And how far does one need to go to break in those headphones and get them just right?

Spooky Audiophile "Ghost" Stories (That People Still Believe)

You might be surprised to find out that before we had fiber optic cables linking the world, we had to reply on other means of communication. Those older means almost always involved sound. You know about the dots and dashes of the telegraph, and the screeching handshake of the modem. But did you know computer geeks in the 80’s used to transmit video games over FM radio?

Sound: The Original Internet

If you do a Google search for “Is Bluetooth Dangerous?” you are met with page after page of disinformation about the supposed dangers of Bluetooth radiation, and non-ionizing radio frequency radiation. This is part of a campaign by a few organizations to capitalize on your fear, and sell you some worthless trinkets on the side. Don’t be taken in. This is a two-part crossover podcast with our friends Jonathan Feist and Joe Hindy at the Android Authority podcast discussing the science behind non-ionizing radiation in an effort to clear the air of the myths and rumors surrounding the tech we use every day. Bluetooth is not dangerous, and we tell you what’s up, who’s spreading the lies, the science behind it, and what to do about it.
