    The speaker on my Pixel 7 is plenty loud, but so is the water in the shower.

    I also listen to podcasts, which are usually mixed quieter than music, and require more volume to pick up quieter consonants.

      I got a couple Amazon Echo Show 8s and hacked them with Lineage. It doesnt sound great but it at least has more body than my cell phone, so I can actually hear it. And I dont have to mess around with Bluetooth. And there’s no battery.

        You think hacking an Amazon Show with Lineage is less work than “messing around with Bluetooth”? You’ll fit right in here.

          Haha. I mean it takes like 15 min and then never had to mess with it again.

            I’ll keep an eye out for stuff like that at tag sales. I have a media server that is unused for music. I mean, I could use my phone, but i hate messing around with bluetooth.
