Hi.
Sometimes sound becomes distorted when i play mp3s. I use the handsfree that came with the phone.
When sound gets distorted....if i lower the volume ...about 2 bars lower sound becomes clear but volume is to low...
When everything is ok, i can set the volume all the way up without any distortion. I play the same song to make the test.
I tried with another motorola handsfree (it plays in mono) and when there is sound distortion, i can hear it with the motorola handsfree too...so i don't think that is a headphones issue.
I'm using deathnoise's rom...i was using another...but i had the same issue.
Can i do something?
Thanks!...
Edit:
Two examples of distorted and clean sound. Recorded from the headphones' output of qtek 2020i to PC.

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.
I have the problem that, when the music ist very quietly I hear a loud noise in my earphones. When I pause teh music i hear it loud. When the player shuts down the noise is away.
I have Ultimate Ears UE-900. I hear ist only with high quality earsphone.
Anyone the same problem?
I had the same issue with various devices such as iPods and various phones using Shure E4C earphones.
The solution or work around was to add some resistance in line after some reading on the head-fi forums a few years ago.
This can be done by getting a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and soldering a certain resistor inline (can't remember which),
or an easier cleaner solution, use an inline attenuator/volume control. One comes with the E4Cs so I used this. Turn up the volume on the source/phone/device and use the volume control on the attenuator to adjust to your liking, this should remove or reduce the hissing that is generated whenver the phone/media player's sound system is outputting a signal.
I just started noticing a faint static sound from the earpiece when running an app with the volume off. I didn't actually notice until i was playing a game in a quiet room with the volume muted. It was actually loud enough to hear without placing my ear next to the earpiece. It only makes the sound when i run a game. I haven't tried it with any other types of apps yet. Had anyone else been experiencing this?
There is a thread about this. Im sure you get alot of static noise when you call as well

Where's the thread. Thanks.
My earpiece is making a squeaking noise the entire time. Even when idle and screen off.
Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
