Hi all,
As a pretty big music nut coming from a Nexus S, and avid Voodoo Sound fan, I'm wondering what the sound is like? Does it have any jitter or hiss?
Also excuse the poor first post. I accidentily hit enter and had to wait 5 mins to edit.

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!

This is the way it is. You can try a sound mod which would compress the sounds making it louder but much less clearer. What you can do is enable Clear Phase and place the phone on a flat surface. The echo would increase the sound. Cheap but works.
Get one of these SRSBTV5P. They go for around 50 to 70 dollars and my friend's sounds great
Hey I was driving home from work where I safely put my phone "hands free" and had it record over some loud music. I embarrassingly sang a little bit too, to show the recording capabilities.

Well, that definitely sounds better than when I've tried to use the N4 to record anything loud, but it's hard to tell how that volume compares to what I've tried to do. I'd love it if someone could record the same loud source on both an N4 and N5 to see if the microphone is any better or not.

Hello guys!
I want to buy this phone but the sound recording quality is importante for me. I´ll record meetings and, sometimes, from about 3 or 4 meters...
Can anyone say if the sound recording quality is good? My question is becuase it is waterproof... maybe it will make the recording quality below average?
Thanks!

It really depends.
I've seen some people say that it was bad (according to their opinion)
But I've also seen that said there was nothing wrong with it.
The Z3C has 3 recording settings (in terms of sound)
Silent, normal, concert (something like that) so I guess you'll have to play around with those to see which fits the occasion best.
Here are 2 random videos I found, And in my opinion the sound isn't bad. Based on my own experience it's not bad either, but I'm not you, you need to judge it by yourself.
I'd say go to a store if possible and just record some stuff. (Please note that the Z3C doesn't come with a build in sound recorder app so you'll need to get one from Play)

My experience so far is based on two scenarios.. Concert and alarm test messages. Both are absolutely great in quality! Using sonys audio recorder to even record stereo audio.

I have not done extensive testing regarding sound, yet, but from what I have done I am impressed with the default sound. It has a wide sound stage, but very clear. However, I have recently purchased Sony's STM10U Stereo Microphone which works on the Z3 devices. There is also Sony's audio recorder app that works with this mic to download.
It really adds a studio type control, blocking out all external sounds, providing a more focused sound. Great for concerts. Comes with a wind cover which is handy for blustery days. This way, I have all my sound options covered.

If you record regularly I'd suggest investing in a decent mini microphone that plugs into the headphone jack. I find the built in mic no better or worse than other phones I've had, but have not done any detailed comparison.
I have found the sound quality absolutely perfect with the Z3C!!!
I play in a band and have always been jealous of how well my friends iPhones have been able to record our band practices. My z3 compact is loads, loads better than my galaxy nexus or HTC hd2 but still not as even good as the iPhone 4 I'm afraid when it comes to recording at very loud volumes.
I'm also using the Sony audio recorder. It works well but the files are massive and can only be saved on internal memory.
Hey,so i just got a new Samsung's Earphone w/ mic (HS330), and the first time i used with my Samsung Galaxy A5 was okay.. the bass was perfect..
then, itried usinggitwith my Apple's iPod shuffle 1st gen. And the result was the vocal quality was lower and kinda distorted than the music , the bass was perfect, but the vocal was not.
The Song quality was 320 kbps, and it was The Script - Superheroes
anw imma a noob here, so please help me with this... :good:
Thanks.
Appreciate it.
Jonathan.
Hello Johnathan,
Buy better headphones.
Sent with much thought,
Jesse
Earphones
its a new piece of earphone....
btw, if i use the earphone for listening from my Samsung A5, it sounds perfect
but when i listen from my iPod, the vocal is horrible and distorted
That's why they invented Equalizer settings.
The EQ settings for a Samsung phone are completely different from the one on Apple devices.
Sadly an iPod only allows you to select a predefined setting (As opposed to manually moving sliders), so you need to test them one by one.
Hello @jonathon welcome here! Change your current one and take another.
