Here’s some advice to enhance your audio quality while engaging with camgirls on adult chat platforms like LiveJasmin, ImLive, SoulCams, Stripchat, CamContacts, and Streamate.
Don’t use smartphone headphones.
Smartphone headphones can be problematic, as they often cause echoes during chat sessions with camgirls. This issue arises because the microphone can pick up audio from the small speakers on certain camgirl websites. This is typically caused by the microphone being attached to a wire on smartphone headphones.
It is better to use standard headphones with the microphone of your laptop or a headset.
Close useless applications
Close unecessary applications, if it slows down your computer.
Buy a headset
A Headset is the most reliable solution for chatting with a camgirl in an audio chat session for several reasons:
- The microphone remains close to your mouth regardless of your movements. Whether you stand up, move back, undress, or lean closer to the camera, your microphone stays in the same position. However, if you rely on the microphone of a laptop (Mac, PC, or tablet), it may struggle to pick up your voice if you move away from the device. For instance, simply standing up can cause a significant drop in microphone signal.
- Headsets position the microphone away from the speakers, eliminating the possibility of generating echoes. If echoes occur, you can be sure the issue is not originating from your side.
- There are no friction sounds transmitted to your interlocutor when using a headset. Conversely, if you use smartphone headphones, the built-in microphone is often located on the wire. As a result, any movement may cause the microphone to rub against your clothes, creating an unpleasant friction sound for your interlocutor.
- While Bluetooth headsets offer wireless convenience, you must ensure they are connected to your computer.
- A USB or Bluetooth headset does not rely on the audio chipset driver of your laptop. This is a significant advantage, as some laptop audio drivers are unreliable.
I chose a classic headset but be aware that there are many types of headsets. If you want to be able to move without constraints, choose a bluetooth headset. I just chose wired headsets because they always work when you are in a hurry. This means that as long as your headsets are plugged in, you don’t need to check anything to start a private chat session with a cam model, you are ready to go.
Things to know about headsets
Here’s a revised and improved version of the text:
Before we proceed, it’s worth noting that we tested audio chat sessions with two of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market: the Sony 1000xm4 and the Bose 700. We made sure to update the firmware of both devices to the latest version and double-checked that we followed all the necessary steps.
Bluetooth vs Wired Headsets
While headsets may not be the most stylish accessory, they are certainly reliable. It’s important to note that wired headsets generally offer better audio quality than Bluetooth headsets. This is because Bluetooth technology has limitations when it comes to bandwidth, especially when using both a microphone and headphones. While the Bluetooth quality can be good in “headphones only” mode, it tends to deteriorate significantly when switched to the hands-free AG audio mode.
I personally purchased an expensive Bluetooth Bose NC700 headset with a Bluetooth 5 chipset, but was disappointed by the audio quality when switched to hands-free mode. The quality was akin to an old phone, even when tested with two different computers equipped with Bluetooth version 5 and 5.1 chipsets. I also experienced similar issues with Aventree Bluetooth headphones.
If you switch to “headphones only” mode, you’ll need to rely on your laptop or smartphone microphone. However, if you physically move away from your device, the microphone may not be able to pick up your voice, and the camgirl won’t be able to hear you.
One reliable option is to use Bluetooth headphones in “headphones only” mode with an external microphone, your smartphone microphone, or your laptop microphone. Just make sure to properly set up both devices.
Alternatively, a wired headset with a long cable is a safe and reliable choice. Wired headsets always work, regardless of the device, and offer the best audio quality.
If you’re using several audio devices with your computer or have experienced audio problems with your sound card, consider purchasing a headset with two minijacks (one for output and one for input). Then, plug the minijacks into an audio USB adapter.
If you have a minijack input on your smartphone or tablet, choose a headset with a minijack smartphone adapter with 3 black rings.
Solution for those who have a smartphone with no minijack input
You have a smartphone with with a USB-C but no minijack input?
You can still buy a wired headset by using a minijack to usb-c adapter. You first plug the USB-C into the power outlet of your smartphone and then, you plug the headset minijack into the female minijack adapter. Look for a Type-C to 3.5mm Mini Jack Adapter and check that it is also done for microphone.
You can also buy a wired headset with a usb-c connection that you would plug into the power socket of your smartphone. If the Usb-c cable of your headset is too short, no worries you can buy an Usb-c extension!
The many reasons against bluetooth headsets
Wired headphones are reliable. I don’t find Bluetooth to be reliable.
Bandwidth limitation in Mic+audio mode
I have performed several tests using Bluetooth headphones and noticed that audio quality is not as good as wired headphones. The problem is due to the sample rate of audio input when using the bluetooth headset in handsfree mode. I haven’t been able to get a better sample rate than 16khz while using the bluetooth microphone of headset. For your information, Just so you know, a wired microphone can provide a sample rate of up to 48 kHz.
What does it mean for you? It means that you if audio chat with a camgirl, she will better hear you if you use a headset with a wired microphone. This also means that you can spend $400 or 400 euros on high-end Bluetooth headphones and get a lower audio quality than wired headphones during private chats! The problem is identical whether you use a smartphone, a tablet or a computer.
When using the Bose NC700 headphones in hands-free mode, I discovered that the microphone sample rate was only 16 kHz for both input and output. This is a mediocre sample rate, and unfortunately, it’s a limitation of the Bluetooth protocol in hands-free mode, so there’s nothing that can be done to improve it.
Pairing Problems
Using Bluetooth headphones can also result in pairing problems. For example, you may struggle to pair your headphones with your device, which can be frustrating, especially if you’re in a paid chat room. This often happens when your Bluetooth device is already paired with another device.
Latency Problem
All Bluetooth headphones suffer from significant latency, usually around 200 ms. However, when using a Bluetooth headset in hands-free mode, the latency is effectively doubled (one for the microphone and one for the headphones), resulting in a total latency of 400 ms. This means that during a private chat, you would be adding 400 ms to the conversation – 200 ms from the device to your ears when the camgirl talks to you, and 200 ms from your mouth to the device. This is not far from 500 ms, or half a second.
Disconnections During the Chat
Finally, Bluetooth communications may disconnect for various reasons (such as PC driver problems) during a private webcam chat. Interference can also occur, leading to further disruptions in the conversation.
Battery life
You must charge your Bluetooth headset. The battery may get empty during a private chat. You must charge the battery of your headphones/headset before using it.
Alternative: An omnidirectional Microphone
If you use a computer (laptop of desktop) in a quiet room, you can buy an omnidirectional microphone. These microphones are used in offices for conference call. They peak your voice wherever your are around your microphone. You can use headphones along with them.
I would encourage you to buy the Tonor USB microphone. See a test in the video. The Tonor USB microphone is cheap and it is really efficient.
Conclusion
The USB wired headset is the safest solution
A wired headset guarantees the best possible audio quality for both your voice and the camgirl’s voice. Your communications will not suffer from any latency, and you will avoid other issues related to pairing Bluetooth headphones. A wired headset does not require any time-consuming setup. When you plug a USB headset into a laptop, Windows 10 or Mac usually automatically switches to the headset for input and output. Once it works the first time, you can be confident that plugging your headset into the computer will always work, without needing to manually change any sound settings.
Note that some wired headsets, such as the Plantronics Blackwire 3200, feature both a 3.5mm minijack connector and a USB (USB-A or USB-C) connector. This gives you the best of both worlds (analog and digital), allowing you to connect your headset to either an analog or digital device.
However, wires may get annoying. It is better to buy an omnidirectional microphone, if use your computer in a quiet environment.
On the camgirl side
If the audio quality is poor, let the camgirl know
It’s essential to inform the camgirl if there’s an issue with her microphone or internet connection. If nobody tells her, she won’t be aware of the problem and won’t be able to fix it.
Ask her to get closer to the microphone
If the camgirl is using a built-in microphone on her laptop, the volume of her voice may decrease significantly as she moves away from it. In this case, it’s helpful to ask her to get closer to the microphone to improve the sound quality.
Request her to lower the volume of the music
Sometimes, camgirls play music on their side, and the speakers of their computer may be near the microphone. This can cause the music to be too loud on the visitor’s side. It’s important to explain this issue to the camgirl and ask her to lower the volume of the music.
If she has connectivity problems
If you’re connected to the internet via cable or fiber, and the issue is not on your end, it’s crucial to let the camgirl know that her audio is choppy. You can also suggest that she closes any unnecessary applications on her desktop that could be consuming bandwidth.
