Same here. When I see these ads (x speakers, Dolby whatever for cars) I always think that's for people without a decent home. I use cars to drive and listen to hifi at home ...
- dagmx 4y agoFirst of all, this is in a luxury car so highly unlikely that the majority of owners don’t have a decent home. Secondly, people commute. A lot. They also like music. Good sound systems have been very important for people for decades now as a result.
- Loveaway 4y agoUgh why always this anti-everything sentiment on HN. I'll take nice sound in my car, thank you. I'm sure you'll still be able to drive your car, and listen to music at home, so don't worry...
- jcynix 4y agoIt's not an "anti-everything" sentiment, it's based on the idea that drivers should concentrate primarily on driving and watching other traffic. Especially in cities. And road noise isn't the best "add-on" for hifi, or is it? Last but not least: I prefer to not paying for stuff that I don't need, but car hifi is one of the (many) "features" you cannot opt-out easily.
