Does anybody else find it weird that whenever you have a voice over, be it satnav, Bluetooth speakers, promotional videos (of European companies!), etc. they almost always have American accents? Even before the whole buy European movement took off I found this weird, especially since British or Irish accents are way nicer to listen to in my opinion.

One of the reasons I like my Sennheiser bluetooth headphones is the power on/off/recharge headset is a chirpy hampshire/oxofrdshire accent.

And the Sonys even more, as they just go "budoom" when you power them up.

  • Those simple audio cues are so much better than the overly verbose announcements lol! Reminds me of how I switched to the soundleaf app for my audiobooks partly because it has minimal audio notifications that don't interrupt my listening experiance.
