Hi,
I just got my first pair of bluetooth stereo headphones - Sony DR-BT10CX.
How much interference is normal for BT stereo headphones? When the music is playing i don't really notice it unless its a quiet part of the song.
Inbetween music though there's noticeable background noise, kinda like noise on a telephone.
Is this normal for BT headphones or for this model??
Also i need to get an equaliser, bass isn't strong enough. Other than that though i'm pleased.
I'm currently listening through lobster tunes streamed from my desktop - even though im sat at my desktop typing this lol. yeh just because i can
cheers
There is some background hiss, but when I've music playing I can't hear it at all, but then I'm not fussy for £17!

To my opinion, Music/Sound quality of HTC Kaiser is ... bad.
I tried Windows Media and Resco Radio for streaming.
Is there any tweak to adjust bass / treble / etc?
I know that this phone is not a music device ala iPod, but still ... if it could be way much better ...
TCPMP has an equalizer
but I believe the earphones are not that good...
I'll try to mod a mini-USB to 3.5 mm adapter.. and then I'll try my own earphones
I only hope I'll fine the time to do so
now you may say it's not that good, but how well does it compare to a htc tornado/sp5/t-mobile sda?
or just any previous phone you've had, how does it compare?
music quality through the rear speaker is what you expect.... almost no bass, plenty of treble. I miss the stereo speakers of the wizard, but it seems just as loud, if not louder than the wiz. kills the star trek in terms of external speaker volume. tcpmp sounds great through bt stereo (sony bt10cx) using default bitpool setting (although you do get the occasional bt hiccup).

great! so the loudness is good. now what about the quality versus the wizzard or the star trek? im assuming the star trek quality is the same as the tornado's quality?

quality? the star trek ran faster than the wiz (same processor, less bloat), and sounded fine. could you be a bit more specific in what do you mean by quality? using usb to 3.5mm adapter sounds great through my car stereo (although not as loud as i'd like, have to adjust the preamp on tcpmp up sometimes), and it sounds great through bt on my $90 bt car stereo (got to love ebay sometimes...
i haven't used the stock headphones. i have already taken them apart in preparation for ebay bought sony earbuds i'm going to attach

how the rear speaker sounds. how clear it is. loud is a good thing, that is...if it's clear. that's what i mean by quality.
at least in tcpmp, it is both clear and loud through the rear speaker. can distort if you up the preamp while using the rear speaker. i can be a few rooms away and here lyrics rather clearly.
if could have anything added, it would be an internal subwoofer....
i tend to avoid wmp because it likes to import random soundfiles i don't want in the playlist... and i'm too lazy to edit them out

cool, im glad the quality is also good, thats what i want, a phone that i can play music and it sounds really good, for other people to hear. also when im walking down the street with people playing music, it's actually able to be heard and understood.
I like wmp cuz
1. The Library. tcpmp doesnt have a library and it really botheres me. I like how easy you can access wmp's Now Playing List and navigate through the library. tcpmp is just a file browser, its kinda of a hassle. I only use tcpmp for videos.
2. It looks cooler, there's more buttons to press, and I make skins for them, they're avaible for download on MoDaCo.
I've been using Sennheiser CX-300 II's since I got the phone, but there's a clearly audible hiss when you plug them in, so I'm looking for something new. They don't need to have a remote or anything, I just want decent quality sound and minimal static hiss. My budget is up to 100€.
What I've been looking at is the Klipsch Image S4 or S5 (although the latter is stretching my budget a bit). Does anyone have any experiences with the HD2+ S4 combo?
I've been using Klipsh S2i and they are decent,
now got Shure Se315 and they are AWESOME, but a bit pricey (also you can change the kevlar cable with the one that has remote as earbuds have a bit dif construction than anything I had so far)
what I want to say is: HD2 sound quality isn't good even with EQ, my iPod touch has better bass and song are clearer than on HD2...
Maybe you got some fake cx 300. Check this thread anythingbutipod. com/forum/showthread.php?t=8392
They're genuine Sennheisers, that isn't the issue.
They work perfectly fine with other sources so it's just a mismatch with the HD2 and the CX-300 II's. I've tested the phone out with other headphones (Shure SRH-840, Koss PortaPro) and there was no hiss. With a proper source there's no hiss with the CX-300 II's either so it's all down to the phone not handing the earbuds correctly.
Bought today sennheiser cx 500, works perfectly w/ hd2.
Strange, I also have the CX300-II's
Sounds absolutely perfect on my HD2, and yes, I worked in a audio production studio so I am not deaf.

Could you test something out for me?
Play a song on the Sense music tab at a reasonable volume (over 50% for this test's purpose) and then hit pause. Can you hear a hiss for a few moments after you pause the song? For me there's a short period of hissing after which I assume the phone cuts power to the output so the hiss disappears. If I play a song the hiss is always on the background and it's incredibly annoying on quiet, mellow songs or audio books because I hear it all the time. It isn't really an issue with loud songs tho as the hissing is drowned out, but I digress.
I just tested out my Sennheiser HD 650's with the phone and there was absolutely zero hiss.

Because that is a headphone,and not a earbud
What does that have to do with anything? I know they're not earbuds.

Ok tested it but on Android which is basically the same.
I also hear 'hissing' but basically it is just the amplifier which cuts off after about 2 seconds of no output being detected.
It is not loud at all but I think that the Sennheiser has a lower output volume at the same setting which will offcourse also diminish the noise to background level.
Thanks for testing it out for me.
The reason I mentioned the HD 650's was because there simply isnt any hiss at any volume settings. I tried playing a track that starts out with a long stretch of silence and I couldnt hear any hissing even when the volume was maxed out. With the earbuds the hiss is clearly audible even at 20% volume.
For those that have HTC HD7 some did notice that if you connect the device via jack to car radio, speakers or just headphones volume is quite low.
It seems to be either software bug or EU regulation of some sort.
If you start a game, I used monopoly while playing zune music, you will see how loud is loud. Have your headphones connected and you will also see it does not distort sound.
Yeh, I noticed this too, but it seems kind of like that all over, the games are very loud through the phone speakers compared to music too, and again without distortion.
They were going to introduce max music volume level in EU so that young one's do not loos part or all of hearing. Do not rememeber if it went in or not but it seems HD7 is applying to that rule. Video and games are loud music is not.
hey guys, i noticed a REALLY annoying thing when i was going through the EQ presets in stock music player. If i choose Bass Boost, then my headphones start to behave strangely, like they cant handle the sound, on every thump there is a crackle in the headphones. you could say that its my headphones fault, but wait, heres the best part, ALL of my 3 headphones do the same + my computer speakers.
only happens on Bass Boost preset. guys try to play some track with a heavy bass beat, test if you have the same.
maybe there is an issue with the sound chip, idk. not a real argument to return the phone lol..
i wouldnt mind this, but bass boost is the best sounding preset (virtual surround is cool too, but its a bit too flat for me)
thx. lol, this came out to be quite a post
Hi, just got my nexus 6 and noticed that the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker was just wondering if this was normal also the speakers become distorted on some music but is fine on other.
Wondering what yoir experiance is with the speakers.
My speakers sound perfectly uniform no volume differences between the two. I haven't really experienced any distortion but I suppose it would really depend on what type of music you are playing. In the end these aren't boomspeakers and they are small. But for what they are they still sound pretty good.
yea might have just been the music i was playing because when listening to some youtube videos the speakers seem to sound the same I just recon some of my music isnt proper stereo or something because some things sound uniform some doesnt.
Just restart the phone. This seems to happen to me from time to time.
