The median is a statistical fact that can be used by humans in both good and bad ways. Lots of data can be made to look lots of different ways in the hands of different people.

That’s why teaching critical thinking (not just the skills but the importance and value) is paramount. People need to understand what they’re looking at. Because sometimes you want the mean, other times you want the median, and if you can’t even understand when you might want one or the other or both for different reasons then you can be led around by the nose with either.

Also F12 to open the developer panel, then check the “network” and “sources” tabs where you can see every single asset that is loaded (may need to refresh after opening the dev panel) and interact with them in a list

I have a moto and hate Dolby Atmos for headphones

Instead, turn that shit completely off and get an app called “Wavelet”. Use the AutoEQ function with your headphones model.

The purpose of the AutoEQ is to return audio to “studio reference” EQ based on the measured frequency response curve of the model of headphones you have

If it still sounds bad to your ears then there are two possibilities:

1. The hardware is defective. You could try getting it replaced

2. Your old phone has settings that were so bass-heavy that your sense of what’s “right” has changed

I recommend trying out AutoEQ on another device that you know works. Make sure that all other audio processing is disabled when using AutoEQ. This will give you a good baseline to compare against

On Windows you can get AutoEQ using EqualizerAPO + HeSuVi (a front-end for setting up EqualizerAPO to enable custom virtual surround sound and AutoEQ)
