At my greatest aspiration, I'm no more than a casual music listener - however I am very conscious of pitch. On more than one occasion, I've noticed that a song I'm familiar with seems off pitch, as in lower or higher key than I think of it in my head - and I seem to notice that particularly around shitty speakers or bluetooth or some combination of the two. Glad to know I'm not crazy :)
To your point, I would lean towards bluetooth as I've never associated the phenomena with Pandora. My friends and I mostly use Spotify.
- rconti 9y agoI use spotify as well. And what I describe is a sag for 5 or 10 or 15 seconds, not just a song that's playing too slowly. it's really weird.

- 72deluxe 9y agoWould it perhaps be because the bluetooth speakers typically cannot reproduce bass below a certain range and so play the harmonics of the bass note or use the resonance of the item they are placed on to "produce" the bass note? In truth you are not hearing the bass note - you are hearing the harmonics and your brain is making up the missing low note.
