Some may find it easier to concentrate on an article while listening to it, especially in an environment with distracting sounds (with the use of headphones). In performing the articles aloud, readers can catch inconsistencies, redundancies, and awkward phrases not noticed by other editors, thus improving the written version of Wikipedia.
The JACK API is standardized by consensus, and two compatible implementations exist: jack1, which is implemented in plain C and has been in maintenance mode for a while, and jack2 (originally jackdmp), a re-implementation in C++ originally led by Stéphane Letz, which introduced multi-processor scalability and support for operating systems other than Linux.
The use of headphone jacks in smartphones is declining as of 2020 in favor of USB-C connectors and wireless Bluetooth solutions. Consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras , camcorders , and portable DVD players use 3.5 mm connectors for composite video and audio output.

LDAC is an alternative to Bluetooth SIG's SBC codec. Its main competitors are Huawei's L2HC, Qualcomm's aptX-HD/aptX Adaptive and the HWA Union/Savitech's LHDC. [1]LDAC utilizes a type of lossy compression [2] [3] by employing a hybrid coding scheme based on the modified discrete cosine transform [4] and Huffman coding [5] to provide more efficient data compression.
The use of noise-cancelling headphones for patients in intensive care units has been implemented to reduce the amount of noise exposure that they face while in a hospital environment. Active noise control technology is shown to have a relationship with sleep disturbance, delirium, and morbidity, therefore bringing up concerns about lowering the ...
