The unexpected stereophonicness of Packed Party Turn it up! speakers
The audio jack of my 14-year-old computer stopped working. I bought a Packed Party ‘Turn it up!’ speaker for $10 on clearance at Mallwart. I had never gotten a bluetooth device to work and usually listen to people talking so don't need high fidelity or stereo so bought only one. When I finally got it to work (problems all mine) I bought another so I could listen in another room without turning up the volume. They pair with each other so a single bluetooth channel can power 2 speakers. I was pleasantly surprised that they separate stereo channels when there are 2.

I'm surprised.
I thought a lot of recordings had both tracks on both left and right, so if you lost one earphone you wouldn't just hear half the band/orchestra/whatever. That's why I take offerings of polychannel sound with a grain of salt. |

I did a tv techie's course in 1977, and they instructed us on stuff like the ideal room positioning for a person listening to stereo. They even had 'bad' and 'good' videos with John Cleese as your serviceman(!). The 'good serviceman' sold a new hi-fi to some nut on the basis that it was so low-noise, you could hear the Orchestra's wind section breathing in! :D. Despite all that, I was a reasonably efficient tv techie coming out. Different times.

Shmup games need stereo. Move your spaceship to the left or right side of the screen, and you can hear it move.
