iPod Touch (G2) Internal Speaker v.s. Headphones

A claim was recently made that earbuds provide better sound quality (being used as speakers) as compared to the internal speaker. This is a video demo comapring the two, and for added clairity, I have also used a pair of Bose Triport headphones.

Video Mode
- Triports used first
- Internal Speaker
- Apple Earbuds

Music mode
- Apple earbuds
- Internal Speaker
- Bose Triport
- Internal Speaker
- Bose Triport
- Internal speaker
- Apple earbuds

All videos were taken with a stationalry Canon Powershot Pro1. All playback was at Full volume (settings for both headphones and internal speaker). No sound check enabled, and no volume restrictions enabled on the iPod Touch.

"A claim was recently made that earbuds provide better sound quality (being used as speakers) as compared to the internal speaker.

I read the description moron, and the description clearly reads about "SOUND QUALITY".

@TearsOfWar1 Emphasis was added by you, not myself. You are using this video as a soapbox for something else apparently.

Since it has obviously escaped you, point of this video was to point out that the internal speaker is loud enough, and of decent quality for use as a casual speaker, as compared to Apple headphones, or much larger Bose units to act as an "internal speaker substitute" on this, or older iPod Touch models.

Your mention of a sound card, is thus irrelevant and off topic.

Also sound quality does not equal louder...

@TearsOfWar1 Thank you for your off topic, and completely irrelevant responses. Perhaps your reading the full description of the video would be in order.

Cheers!
