[Q] Incredible S Audio Quality ?

I was aiming for the Sensation but the price is out of range for me so I figured I'd have to settle for the solution right below it (Nope, not the Desire HD)
Incredible S - A phone with all my needs, a perfect screen size, great camera, great-looking (I'm probably the only one who thinks so lol) .. Even if the bootloader's currently locked i'm not the type who won't use a device unless root, we got WidgetLocker, Go Launcher and other stuff not to mention the original Sense UI is awesome
But one thing i'm concerned about -- the sound quality, I read that GSMArena review and they said it was bad .. I'll basically use the phone I buy as my music player so that matters to me a lot, and earphones sound is more important than speaker sound for me
What's your experiences with the sound quality ? If it's great, i'll head out and buy this phone since it's perfect besides that, if it isn't i'll buy the Desire S which means i'll have to settle for an average camera .. I need positive clarification before I get the S.

I use PowerAmp as my musicplayer, and with the build in equalizer and SRS Enhancement and a good pair of earplugs, i think the sound is just fine.

Thanks, what do you think of the speaker sound, then ?

a good pair of earphones will get u going in no time, as for the loudspeaker, they're quite soft and there'll be static noise n distortion if turned to the max. it's htc, it's normal x

IMO ...use custom earphones and a good sound manager like poweramp...the sound is quite good for a phone.
But yeah the speakers are just average! dont expect too much from them.
but overall u wont regret buying this phone

Ok, thanks guys ! I have my eyes set on it now.

I had an iphone before my IS, and the sound on the IS is a lot better than iphone using Poweramp

The quality of the phone/sound is nice, will try with my stereo nokia bt hedest at home, and chk beck to tell.
Also htc makes awfull earphones, its literally hurt my ears, so one need to change that!

Do you know this?!?

I've done it in my car, my car stereo supports bluetooth music. Its fun, however there is a very slight delay that can be noticeable depending on the game.

Looks aversome !
A bit expensive for me, but being able to stream online radios or Music Library of your phone without having to burns CD's (old hi-fi stereo x) ) looks like magic.

And it works in both ways: it receives audio from BT sending it to speakes or can receive from an audio source and send to BT headphones. Infacts, on the rear it has both audio in & audio out jacks. That's why it's a little bit expansive but a nice & complete accessory!

Which rom has the best sound for you?

I mean for both music Via External Speaker and Via Headphones.
Some roms i think have a Very low Speaker Output, we got one of the few smartphones with real stereo speakers and they have incredible well.... Low Volume

I think CM10.1 has very good sound, you have DSP Manager, which is a equalizer app for CM. You can either choose presets or do it yourself. You also have a bass and treble booster.
If you have decent headphones or earphones, you can really experience it.
Hope this answers your question

Temasek's CM7+vadonka's eTana kernel sounds best.
As supercurio said before,cm10/4.04official has changed the audio sampling rate to 48kHz which leads to poor SRC and poor audio quality which is important to me as daily players.I remember that Vadonka once could change his sample rate of his CM7 kernel,but the dev seem haven't found the way to change the sampling rate on CM10/4.04.Glad that someone raised the question as the sound quality is the only thing stopping me from using ics.
It would be great if someone is going to fix it.
Also,supercurio has seemingly lost his interest in continuing voodoo for 2x either for new Kaudio driver or support of ics.Can it be ported to a flashable zip?Big Thanks for it.
I use the 2x as my daily music driver with TF10.

With any rom that suports voodoo sound...

supercurio seems that is not going to bring us their implementation of Voodoo in CM10 and above : (

we never really even had voodoo sound, in our version only the amplifier controll worked, which is more like voodoo loud..
sad panda

Is anyone on tweetypeeks Chuck Norris rom? Read he managed beats audio libs on his cm 7.2 rom. Ironically I knew him as a dev from the defy forum

O2x has only 1 main speaker out n that's called mono.
I wouldn't mind that if it wasn't so weak and distorted at high (cough)
volumes.
FWIW mind you no software tweak can do any major difference to a small speaker like
this phone has. Of course nothing stops you to use an external sound system, that's
were software can do magick in the limits of course of the D/A conv. the O2x has to
offer, which is not that bad actually.
You can use the hdmi to bypass the D/A converter or even bluetooth anytime of the day though...

what you talking about there is 2 speakers, and the hp jack 3.5mm is stereo also

If you kindly tilt your phone. - i suggest you got a lg p 990 not su 660. - there will magically appear 2 - in words two - speakers to the left and right of your micro USB jack... further no need to say that the tech specs if you check them online clearly say "stereo speakers"
For further notice size doesn't matter.
But it shows that you have clearly no idea about actual audio technic and still think a speaker must be"this big" to do a good sound work.
That don't need BTW that I think this speakers are spectacular or something. But I think they got more potential...

I don't think so. As i know, p990 has just one speaker, another one is just micro (which looks like second speaker).
About sound quality. I use dual boot with old boot just for voodoo sound. 1 rom is wiui with etana kernel which supports voodoo. I am using this rom only for music and second pa build4. We have a lot cm 10, 10.1 for old boot and i think it's enough for those people who really needs them and voodoo.

Size in speakers is very crucial as it defines the lowest frequency it can reproduce.
I don't want to get more technical about it but the bigger the speaker is, the lowest can get frequency wise.
As for all the other stuff I stand to my previous post.
If you don't mind, being cocksure about stuff is ridiculous in my book.
The speakers (ear speaker + main speaker)in p990 is low quality, the audio output has nothing to do with the speaker if this is ok with you that is.
Good luck.

but saying its mono is just wrong

Why? It's not stereo and it sums to mono...
How do you call that? Anyway...

P.S.: if you don't get the meaning of that re-read and re-think about this sentence. It does totally make sense

cm 10.1 is loud but not that gud.
i use stock rom with philips app and earphone which make very gud sound output never hear before even on voodoo sound

yes your right, it very well could be summed mono, however. there is 2 speakers right? so its still stereo. L (L+R) R (R+L) or whatever phase

Well if you read the post than you would have read that the so appeared second speacer is just the mic what appers as a speaker due it´s looks. I googled it and only a German site labled it falsely as Stereo speakers.
So this is realy akward that a phone life MOTO Defy has so much better and louder audio quallity in phone speaker and headphone sound.
I´m a real adiophile and i suggesting to get another phone just because the poor audio quality :crying:

i know about head-fi , but i want something that works well on z3. for playing lossless files

yeah, basically any high quality wired headphones that can be driven by a smartphone will work. and if you decide to use a portable amp, then any headphones will work.

i have mdr-xb70 , are these any good ? any recommendations ?

I have never tried those so I don't know. There are a lot of good portable headphones, just check out headfi.org under the portable headphones section. I personally use Sennheiser MM-500X. It's bluetooth (with aptx) and wired for my phones. Sony's current MDR lines are pretty good too. Just a little too much bass emphasis for me, but it's just personal taste. It's hard to recommend headphones tbh.

Wondering what earphones you use ? I have been eyeing the Huawei AM180 for some time now.

wow, not that cheap. but nice.

I'm not a great lover of mushroom type earphones, and like to be able to hear what's happening around me (especially walking through city centres). I do like in the ear though, and the older style ones are getting difficult to find, but I use these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121569462946 which are cheap, sound OK, and don't break too easily.

MI Hybrid is better

http://www.philips.fr/c-p/SHQ6300OR_00/casque-sport-bluetooth
12 grams, supra aural BT 3.0, waterproof. Via BT sound bad,like all,but Viper4droid,DDS for other philips with similar curve, and a upsampling via IRS to 32bit/48khz (44khz BT limited),sound pretty good in MP3 240/Spotify.
But if you conect via jack amd play loseless flac music,same config and add DD Atmos ,sound amazing. Maybe no so good ñike other HiFi top earphones ,but very very good,and 12g ,waterproof and 30 pounds,are nice,and you can connect other earphones to BT module,as well

Xiaomi Piston for sport and Sennheiser momentum Over Ear for pleasure

I think the starting question is wrong. It´s not the device that determinates the phones.
It is the wallet, first, then type of music you ear and personal preference in the way each one ears music.
Some bass heads like beats products, but what they listen is not the music as it was recorded: it's artificial enhancements, and that's fine. Some like more details in metallic instruments and others in voice and other that just want to listen to the music as they were at the studio at time of recording.
So it's up to you. You can check here.

Seem great. Too bad BT doesn´t handle uncompressed music well. I mostly ear FLAC without any EQ.

couldn’t believe that you will be able to hear a difference between both ways on a Honor 7 because this is the wrong hardware for it!
But it should be good enough for a older man to hear good music during jogging etc.
Did you see, that the headset use Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X® ?
Anyway, my suggested combination was the best quality i ever heard on my phone!
But this is also a results of using this great NEUTRON music player app too!!!
