I have seen that my Galaxy S has a maximum output for my Sennheiser CX-300 II a lot lower than my Cowon S9, is there a way to turn the volume up without distortions?

Not that I know of. However, you can use the audio quality fix provided here to improve the quality of music.

ok so my problem is that i have the original mytouch without the 3.5mm jack but i have an adapter that lets me use them which has a mic and button for play/pause
i want to know if there is any way to get something like skullcandy fmj(not those but just those as an example) to be able to to play/pause while connected to this
what i currently have the mic on the headset works but the play/pause button doesn't. the button on the adapter works only
is there anyway around this or am i stuck with the adapter?
sry if this has been asked
Just Curious, What adapter are you using?
better go and spent your money for bluetooth headphones... Adapter's have low durability ... and headphones have problems with jack/cables
i bought a brand new nokia bh-503 and im 100% satisfied

This would be good for general listening. I don't think this is very good for running with. Also, many inexpensive headphones (3.5mm) have very good dynamic range and noise cancellation for low cost. I have not found a good sports bluetooth headphone yet. Secondly, the battery life of bluetooth has to be considered, what will you do when your battery is low?

I am looking for an adaptor/buetooth headphones with remote and a display. Any suggestions?
where can I buy one of these?
Hi I've used a AKG 450 headset for a long time. The sound of it was very good if I used sony's w600 Bluetooth. If I connected it to the phone the sound wasnt to much to brag about. But now I've bought a sennheiser HD25-II-2 and a Fiio E11 but the sound through the Sony just sucks. But when I connect it directly too the phone, it sound, well, bloody f***ing good! So the situation has turned 360°. So what's wrong here? It got a great DA-converter but the phone's amp cant handle any resistance?
Amplifier, not a DA converter ;-)
I'm satisfied with sound, nothing spectacular but ok. It depends on what kind of headphones you have, higher impendance means higher load on headphone amp. Some like that, some not...
But, review on GSM arena said something about almost exceptional sound when connected to external amp so check it out

No, DA -converter. It must be really good compared to its amp. The akg is a perfect 32 ohms resistance, but still it sounded very bad indeed. But with the Fiio E11 amp it sounds so good that it just (almost) doesnt make sense
I seem to remember that the highend senheisers, needs power to play well. I always go for low resistance headphones, since i only drive them with my phone amp. Sound was good with my old Sennheiser cx300 and realy good with my Sunrise Xcape Impressive edition.
That was why I bought the amp. But I had no idea that this sound was waiting to be release from the x2! All the reviews points at the stereo crossover.
I wasn't aware about theese portable amps, i might be interested if i would gain anything with my easy driven inears. I haven't taken any concern about the crossover, i don't notice it. But I guess it would still be pressent with the amp.
I've just gone through the review from gms arena and the crossover is only with headset. That confirms what I experience with an amp. Believe me, it sounds really good!
Ok normaly the Xcapes don't need an amp. But that's with ipods and sansa clip's etc. Do you think the amp in the optimus 2 x is a lot less powerfull than mp3 players normaly is. Then i should consider getting an amp maybe the Fiio e5 ?
I havent heard the E5. Its dirt cheap and I bet it sounds like it. The E11 was about 36$ from mp4 nation when I ordred it ....
Edit: from mp4 nation: )
Ok just noticed the e6. An upgrade of e5. The sound quality is said to be good. But not on par wit e11
Just one way to find out.
i find it just a meh. the bass is flat.
The bass of E11 is very tight and punchy. Guess its the way to go then.
In case anyone is interested, it's free for a short time. I would have posted this in the free apps thread, but it was closed.

Try again? That doesn't happen on any of the three LG V30 I have it installed on.
Hi, just tried this but didn't recognise the standard LG headphones which are high impedance.
Looks like a novelty anyway as no actual settings in app.
Uninstalled.

The standard LG headphones aren't high impedance. Sorry.
They are as they trigger the lg dac message

But the "best" settings are reserved for High Impedance Mode.
That's why @Whiskeyomega has a mod to force HIM with root.
You normally need 50 ohms impedance to trigger high impedance mode. That's why some people bought the 75 ohms jack to mate with their less than 50 ohms headsets (75 seems the least you can buy).
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DUN...5-ohm-For-Hi-Fi-Audio-player/32813442525.html
or you can buy headsets with 50 ohms or greater to get HIM.
Or you can use root to trigger that through @Whiskeyomega mod.

Yes, as I said, the standard headphones are more than 50 ohms, that's why they trigger the dac message. They do sound better when him is set.
Manually setting the him mode with my sennheiser cx-500i, which are only 18 ohms did not help the quality.

My LG headphones which came with my V30+ are NOT high impedance. Are you speaking of the "B&O" branded headphones or the "LG" branded headphones? Depends on where you buy your V30+. In North America, we got "LG" branded headphones, while other places got "B&O" branded headphones . NEITHER are 50 ohms or more and neither trigger High Impedence Mode.
So, I bought high impedance headphones and I also have the 75 ohms adapter if I need it.
Hi, I have LG branded headphones. Bought my phone in Dubai, ARE dual sim version.
My H930 came with B&O headphones and they're definitely not high impedance headphones. And if they are, they're rubbish, because when you plug in proper high impedance headphones, you feel the difference instantly.
LG went full retard here. They brag about quad DAC and then they go and cheap out on headphones. Ridiculous.
The headphones that came with my girlfriend's ancient Galaxy S4 mini sound better than these quasi premium B&O thingies.
Having said that, a cool app this.
Now a question. A friend of mine has a pair of Audio Technica m50x headphones that he wants to sell. They're not high impedance so if I decide to buy them from him I'll need to get an adapter. Besides cranking up the volume to the max, is there any other danger driving low impedance headphones with an adapter in high impedance mode?

Thanks for the link. All clear now. So I guess I'll order a pair of Soundmagic 50c (or 80c), since everyone's praising them for their quality output.
Hello guys !
I am not sure if anyone has noticed (or I'd rather say, has felt annoyed) by the stock headphones or by the output produced by the regular Jack 3.5 through their Type-C to Jack converter, but I have...
Personally, I am very demanding when it comes to music, and by choosing a 850-euro phone, this possible "issue" didn't cross my mind before I bought it. It seems like listening to music on this phone, (using headphones of course) comes with pluses and minuses.
As a Pro feature, the sound is excellent, the lows and highs sound quite good actually, but (there is a big "BUT") the maximum volume is too quiet, compared to other mainstream phones on the market, using mainly Jack interface for the headphones. The maximum volume on this phone, when using headphones is about 70-75% of the maximum volume on other phones (Mi Note Pro, Samsung Galaxy series, IPhone).
I made sure "Dolby atmos" is enabled, I have even tried raising all the EQ parameters (so that the general volume may be increased), I have also tried preamp-ing the sound with apps like Poweramp or Speakerbooster, but they would only sound like forced, and not actually louder, and the result is the same.
So, my sole question is : what should I do/buy/try in order to get a LOUDER experience when using headphones ?
Thank you in advance !
P.S.: sorry if I'm being awkward, it's my first post on XDA. Cheers !
Is there a safety volume limiter on?

Hello, I don't use high quality/impedance headphones with my P20 Pro but watch this review from about 15min 15secs in. I've not verified this but hope it helps you!

I checked with Bose QC35 and the sound is 30% louder via Bluetooth than the jack lead....... How can this be

Just buy the Google Pixel 3.5mm USB C adapter , its the best. I also have the HTC adapter, but Google's one is better.

Because in wired mode the headphones are driven by the phone's amp and in Bluetooth they are driven by their own internal amp. Its why you can use wired mode even when the headphone battery is depleted.
How about any advice buying replacement earphones instead of the adapter? I'd rather just have one external thing to not lose. Are there any USB-C earphones that will do the same job as the replacement USB-C to 3.5mm for regular earphones?

I find it as loud as my S8 plus or Pixel 2 through headphones, but BT is where it's at for volume.

I don't think I need head/earphones. I have 2 pairs of earphones (Samsung and Sennheiser), a pair of HyperX Cloud Stinger II, and studio headsets from Focusrite. I have tried all of them. And they are not the problem.
I've had many Huawei phones and 3,5mm volume has always been too low

I use the HTC dongle linked in the video above. It makes a noticeable difference. Even my cheap £15 earphones are much louder using it over the Huawei dongle.
It won't blow you away, so be realistic but it is DEFINITELY a noticeable improvement and worth the investment if you listen to music.
In fact, even my larger headphones were louder but I think you need a dac/amp to really enjoy louder volumes on large headphones. It's the cheap earphones that I found gave the loudest sound.
