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.
