Can someone check to see when playing music through your speaker if it comes out through both sides or just the left side. If you notice the speaker has two openings on each side. I assume that sound should come out from both sides. Cover the left side and let me know what happens.
Thanks in advance.
Only comes out the left for me as well, must be a cosmetic right speaker
Wanted to make sure that my phone is not defected. Thank you gman.
Anyone else care to share their experience? Please...
turbo has a mono speaker and sound only coming from one side is intended.

Only on one side of the top speaker (at the ear piece)? I know that there is no bottom speaker.

Yeah, with the headphone jack right behind the other there's no speaker there. Its just for cosmetic purposes.

How annoying, but still enjoying the phone. Thanks.

Not sure if this deserves a separate thread, but just noticed that if i completely block the actual speaker (one on the side) with my finger the sound ends or (or seems to end up) coming out from the earpiece instead. If this is intentional, that is SO cool, can anyone verify?
How is it cool? I hate it especially when playing a game lol

I don't think this is the case. Once the bottom left speaker holes are blocked the music just radiates from the phone in general, not one specific point like the ear piece speaker. Maybe the headphone jack adds to what you're hearing?

Not intentional. You're just hearing it resonate throughout the phone, as jbdan said.
Not sure how it would detect such an event, but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to reroute audio to the earpiece speaker if the bottom speaker is blocked. Sometimes my bottom speaker gets blocked if the phone sits at just the right angle in my tylt charger, I'm afraid I won't hear my alarm one of these days.

Aww . I had thought of that, but was hoping it was some weird random feature. Makes sense though.

I hate the speaker alignment. If it would give great sound but I can't even hold it horizontal like my old phones without muting the sound

It was much more comfortable to just put one finger on each side lying on the phone and with the thumbs on the lower side than holding it with your fingertips.

I wouldn't purposefully block the speaker. The speaker in our device is pretty cheap, and I'm sure the added pressure from blocking the holes might damage it, and decrease the sound quality even more.

Blocking the speaker grill holes is not going to do any damage to anything
My "flip it over" comment earlier was serious. If you flip it over it places the speaker on the top left and you are less likely to block it. There was a tongue-in-cheek thread about this a while ago, but despite all the silly comments it is the easiest way to solve the blocked speaker problem.
I don't get why everyone says the speaker is bad. It's as good if not better than my nexus 4 was. That was about on par with my note 1. Do you guys expect boom sound or something?

It should have had front facing speakers like the HTC one. That's what we want, right?

My rear Speaker is really weak. Talking on speakerphone with any background noise renders it useless. Is this just my model or others have the same issues?

Mine is pretty similar. As well as my friend who has one on T-Maybe (hahaha). It vibrates at full volume.
It's a bummer. I don't expect the world from every phone but at this point the least we could get in such a premium is a decent speaker. Kind of pisses me off.

Every review I've watched so far said this has one of the loudest loudspeakers ever. Weird.

I have to agree on it being a loud speaker. Earlier this evening I just streamed from music from the Play Music app and it was remarkably loud and clear.
Sure, it was no BoomSound and you could for sure tell that the sound source was a cell phone, but it was definitely one of the better speakers I've encountered on a phone.
Put me in the unhappy with the S5 speaker column. yes, it can be "loud" but it often seems "tinny" with distracting vibrations through the back cover that make the device seem hollow. subjective opinion obviously

On my second one. Both, same observation as yours. Loud as Hell, but "tinny" and the '"rattle" when turned up is really, really disturbing. Also, does anyone else feel a "bumping" of the speaker through the center of the back of the phone when on loudspeaker and/or playing media? It's almost like the phone's back is going to blow off due to this heavy beating from the sound through the back-casing. Again, second specimen; same issue(s)...
I know that the top of our phone is a bit slanted and so I was wondering if anyone used ath m50s with this phone to see if they fit correctly and sound correctly?

They're headphones. They will plug in. The only thing that would cause them to not work would be a case that obstructs the fitment of the jack to the port. I've plugged in many different head phones from cheap $2 sets to PowerBeats by Dre as well as Studio by Dre.

I understand that they have the required 8th inch adapter but I was just making sure because some reviewers of these headphones had problems with certain devices. Thanks again

Well I've never used them, but as long as it has 3.5mm connection or adapter it should work.

1) I moved this thread to the Q&A forum.
2) I've used the AT-M50s on every phone I've had and they work fine except the TPU case on some pushes out the headphone jack sometimes. So I take a razor and make the headphones hole a bit bigger on my case. Other than that you should have no issues.
These are still my favorite headphones, way better than any of the Beats and even the Bose in this price range. If they were a big smaller I would wear them at the gym, but for at home listening these headphones rule the world.

Oh thanks. Quick question, I've heard the burn in time for these headphones is super long. Do they still sound good out of the box or is it alright and then much better after use?

They sound really good out of the box.
The burn in time isn't incredibly long, I put some decent hours on mine and they just get better and better, but out of the box I found the sound quality to still be superior to any other cans in that class.
Is it possible when I buy the same loudspeaker from z1 from ebay and remove the earpiece speaker and build in the loudspeaker? So I have two loudspeakers same quality same loudness and better stereo effect is that possible?, or it will conflict with the system, I mean speaker is speaker am I right? So there must be no problem but just to be secure asking if that is possible

Im no expert here but even if you can do so, the replaced one will be front facing and the one down there will be down facing. /_\
Z1 is still Z1. Sad to tell.
The original speaker isn't very good anyway.
Haha Ofcoz it'll be good if you can make both speaker front facing
From my guess, the earpiece speakers would also have different specifications like power and impedance. You might blow it if the power doesn't match. I mean the earpiece might not just be limited by it's size, but also the lack of a dedicated amp to drive it.

so it means the earpiece can be as good as the loudspeaker when it have more power (voltage)? It will use battery aswell I guess

Got my unicorn today. It is huge and awkward to hold. The screen is okay after selling my Galaxy S4 and using LG G pad 8.3 as a daily driver until I got N6. (I know weird). However, I noticed that the speakers are not really loud. I thought since it has tow speakers and placed on front, it should be loud. Also, when I call someone and put him on speaker mode, only the top speaker works. The bottom one doesn't. Can someone confirm that please?
Is there anything I can do or tweak to make it louder?
Thanks,

Motorola knows that no one else wants to hear your loud conversations
I solved this issue by using a Bluetooth headset. I have bad hearing due to my time in the military so I need things to be loud(or louder than normal) or I can't hear them.
