Just tried my Beats By Dr Dre Studio headphones. The sound quality is already great, although you do get a little noise after you press the pause button. Or after a notification is played. This is probably due to Android's internal media player component which needs to get some kind of "stop command" or something.
Anyway, it's not noticable while playing so it's no big deal...
Eventually, while playing around I hit the little SRS button...
HOLY ****...
It sounds unbelievable. Played some Tribe Called Quest and a bit of Prodigy, because these headphones are quite bassy and tuned for this kind of music.
Turn it on guys! You won't regret it.
Oh, and buy some proper headphones of course
Is a pretty good option for audio enhancement, but only for proper headphones (and not earbuds ^^)

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.
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!
As you guys know, the Zio has excellent audio quality, but it _is_ a bit tinny sounding and lacking bass.
I was wondering what everyones preferences were in regards to music players.
Some things Im looking for:
An AUDIO EQUALIZER!!
Ability to play a wide(er) variety of video files.
Relatively fast loading.
Not resource intensive.
umm.. Discuss?
I use two different players for that. But have been trying out a few for the video so I dont have a great one. I really like Lithium Music player. Let me know what video player you use
Media players
Power Amp is pretty good, built in equalizer and even a Pre-Amp, but the zio can only handle so much before you get a crap sound or the bass drowns out everything else. I guess with some tweaking it can be great. I'm still playing with it though. As for video.... sorry don't have anything for that.
Almost forgot, power amp comes with an option to automatically start playing as soon as you plug in your headphones. This was a godsend for me, as it seemed to not start playing in mono like the stock player seems to like every other time you started it.
I use louder volume hack. Play with the options to see what u like best. It can break the speaker so start low volume and go up

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
Has anyone else noticed how quiet the output of audio on this phone? When connecting to external speakers or even just headphones via the headphone jack, it doesn't seem as loud as it should be when turned up to the full.
Hi ...I've never set volume to max ...music must be as loud as natural concet listening ...I don't understand people who get max level and get ears hurt
I watched one documentary yesterday and sound was quite bad (old movie from YouTube) then I plug my headphones (original Z1) and I discovered whole new world of sound.
Great sound, deep, crisp and loud.
So no, I don't have those problems.
If I have good source I have great sound.
And I agree with guy above me - extremely loud music is bad for you but it's also distorted and unnatural.
You should find well coded sounds (if it's coded) and you'll see it's loud enough.

Here is the scenario, I had my laptop using spotify connected to some pretty powerful speakers, and was able to get the volume really loud. I then put the same spotify playlist on my xperia z1 and even when turned up full it was no where near as loud. The same when watching youtube on my girlfriends iphone, when turned up to the full its deafening, but watching the same video on the z1 on a bus or train, you can hardly hear it.

You have to go in the audio settings and turn on the X-Loud etc etc in the walkman settings... That should help a bit otherwise I have no idea...
