I'm don't mean to defend Apple, a company I have plenty of problems with, but rather the iphone 7. I'd have to watch that video but I'm not sure what his issue is with the sound... I'm not sure how you'd improve it unless you're looking to blow out your ear drums. Perhaps my ears simply aren't trained enough. It's normal for reviews to focus on the negatives as they should, as the positives are always advertised. If the negatives don't bother you, you generally know you'll probably like the product. Otherwise, cnet are reliable reviewers (I believe that's who I rely on for tv reviews) and there's no conspiracy here; despite whatever cons he found, this is still a fantastic phone. |
Haven't watched the video either, nor have I used their new lightning headphones, but back when I had an iPod and insisted on using Apple headphones for style, I remember being completely mind blown by the difference in sound quality when I got to try out headphones that were about the same price. I eventually realized that you can get better quality headphones for about $10. While I generally believe that all Apple products are overpriced, their peripherals in particular are horrendous for what they cost.
