Thanks for posting this report, Tomas! And thanks to all participants too! 🙂

Hi iionas,Nice suggestions though much of them have been brought up before. On our part, we’re actually in the midst of developing an audio blok and we love to hear your ideas and feedback. Check out the thread below: https://community.phonebloks.com/forum/view_topic/22/2289/Sound-development/Sennheiser-audio-blok-development-questionscomments

Cool idea Moemen! We’re actually in the midst of developing an audio blok. Do check out the thread and share your ideas/feedback here – https://community.phonebloks.com/forum/view_topic/22/2289/Sound-development/Sennheiser-audio-blok-development-questionscomments

Cool!Good to know.and @Xander – the sharing comes from the fact you have a second audio jack.The thought came from one of the challenges to use two input jacks so that you could quickly share a call or music by plugging in a second headset.Having the extra ins and outs also creates some other cool possibilities too.

Yah, both of those are options but none of them strike me as ideal.In the first, you have to have an adapter to just plug into the phone which is annoying and makes it less easy to share your music with your friends via the second port(unless they have the adapter too). In the second, the phone would have a weird lump in it which maybe some people…[Read more]

Thanks for your suggestion, zago! Coincidentally, we’ve created another thread on buttons. Perhaps, you may want to contribute some ideas there as well :)Here’s the link – https://community.phonebloks.com/forum/view_topic/22/2324/Sound-development/Three-tiny-buttons-so-many-possibilitiesCheers!Rosmadi

Thanks for your suggestion, hoob! I believe this idea has already been mentioned before. Check out the following links…[Read more]

Perhaps, this could be one of the functions of our audio blok? Click on the following link and submit your idea! :)https://community.phonebloks.com/forum/view_topic/22/2324/Sound-development/Three-tiny-buttons-so-many-possibilities

Interesting idea, joventango!

Thanks for all these great suggestions! Do keep ’em coming! 🙂

@Acheron – We’re definitely going for high quality for our reference design, but we may be limited by physics and current battery technology.Increasing the quality of the amp means you’re probably going to need more power and with cell phones that’s a bit of an issue because everyone wants long battery life.We’re thinking of getting the best amp…[Read more]

That’s kinda a neat idea – just have wire connection points on your phone.I mean, you could hook anything up to them for either input and/or output, mostly for hobbyist, but not even just hobbiest in audio.Like controlling a servo, making a DIY moisture meter, or really anything.It reminds me some of the ideas being kicked around the ARA forums…[Read more]

@brendan – I see what you mean.Having a wireless module whose sole responsibility is for higher quality audio would be cool, cuz let’s face it – Bluetooth’s quality is, well, meh, WiFi can be very latent and glitchy and NFC is well, near-field.In fact, Sennheiser did experiment with higher quality wireless in our devices back in the day in the MX…[Read more]

Hey Brendan,The community definitely said that wireless connectivity is a desirable feature and who could argue? I hate cords myself.I assume by saying: [25340 wrote:how about having a sennheiser home theatre system that can wirelessly dock speciffically to your phonebloks audio bloks?] you mean that the audio blok could “pair” wirelessly (to…[Read more]

Good question 0x00a368!That’s true, there is no hardware specification with Phonebloks, just the (awesome) idea of a modular world.But that shouldn’t stop us from prototyping and getting our hands dirty!The picture above is actually what we’ll be using for initial development.Here, the board in the middle is the one with our DSPs and small…[Read more]
