    Want Better Sound? Have an iPhone connected to your car audio?

    I just discovered something and I'm not sure if anybody knows.

    When I play golf by myself, I use one headphone in one ear and put the audio on "mono" so I get to hear the whole range instead of left or right. So I forgot to turn off "mono", and plugged it into my USA Spec and wow. The highs were louder and the bass was bumping! It was not as "dynamic" sounding, but it pumps. It's a dramatic change to the point where it's like a new head unit.

    Give this a go if you want more bang. On your iPhone, under general settings, accessibility, turn mono audio on. I would also assume that anybody with a non Apple product could do the same if the device has the option to turn on mono audio...

    Nobody has any report back? You guys gotta check it out...

    I figured the family would all be in their cars trying this out. It really works.

    I wonder if this is iPod specific and if, all it is, is an equalizer boost of those frequencies when you go mono.

    Lets face it, one earpiece mono music sucks and in anticipation, Apple may have automatically boosted bass and treble settings when set on mono.

    Somebody should try this with an another type of device or even better, an MP3 player ��.
