Kinda related question: What system are you using? Is it FOSS by chance?

I think so?

I’m not OP, just an expert on Spatial Audio.

Headphones are able to reproduce Spatial Audio mixes, if they’ve been binauralized, so the place and the system aren’t too relevant (if OP already set up their playback system).

Check out https://audiospace.soundingfuture.com/ It’s a new and experimental platform, but you’ll get a taste of Spatial Audio.

The quadraphonic mix of Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best multichannel compositions in existence.

Problem isn’t the MIX, but the way the musicians intended to display the composition. The quadraphonic mix of Black Sabbaths Paranoid album sucks big time (but is also funny as hell).

The new The Cure album is well done in Dolby Atmos, but not really my taste in music.

Spatial Audio is one of the terms used for anything with height information: Binaural and Ambisonics (although these two don’t always feature height), Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, MPEG-H or some experimental other formats.

Other terms that mean the same thing: 3D Audio, Immersive Audio, Surround+Height

Dolby Atmos is able to be played on a wide range of modern device. Android-based phones can do it. Cheaper TVs can, and cheap soundbars give a satisfying experience. You can listen to Atmos content on headphones

Uh, neat tip. Thank you!

Interesting, that the quality differs so much. Mine just works as I expected it to work, and every update is a step to an even more “usable” watch.

How is the Bangle js2?

The update didn’t bring mind-boggling features so far. But I still like to wear it daylie, but I only need it as a clock, alarm, and notification system, so my needs are already fulfilled.

Hey, great start to just spew negativity!

I’m a PineTime-user too, but be advised, that there is no sleep tracking, and the heartrate measurement is not passive, nor does it work in the background.

But if you want a simple watch for notifications, weather, time, step count, and a handy flashlight, with up to three weeks uptime with one charge, the pinetime is for you!

Also, you might want to consider joining the PineTime-Community, bring some life there! <3
