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,

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.

Hi guys...
I recently bought the samaung galaxy s and I am very disappointed about the music quality (basically the very poor bass or bassless audio) ..
Being suspicious of wether it's the stock headset performing bad or it's the galaxy itself which sucks I decided to conduct an experiment..
I connected the stock headset of samaung galaxy to nokia's 5230 and I was very shocked believe me the music quality..the bass was rich and exactly what I wanted...
Now I connected the stock headphones to my Sony NWZ-E443 Walkman...and violaaa...even better music and bass....
Now I've installed the vodoo sound kernel, but it doesn't do much with the bass..heard people suggestions for buying senhisser or sony's headphones..but I am worried about one fact is that why isn't the same stock headphones performing good in my galaxy S...
Has it got something to do with impedance, sensitivity and other technical stuff..or simply it's not the galaxy cup of tea..
I don't understand why you need to buy $50 headphones from third-party after buying a $650 phone..still being un assured of getting good sound..feels pissed nokia 5230 being $110 performs better
WHATS THE CATCH ?????
My view is the opposite of yours .
Bass is a sound distortion not normal sound .
Measurement should be at neutral as the sound came .
How much the extra bass sounds is also measured with the treble to give the dynamic range .

I use Poweramp from the market, it is a music player but with a built in equaliser with a lot of presets to choose from, you can hit the bass up on that and notice the difference, I know its not a free app, try the 12day trial, better than spending X amount on headphones

Is it not the galaxy S, that suppose to have one of the best sound chip integrated? (Wolfram something something). Even better than Ipod.
I personally have found the sound on the Galaxy S to be excellent...so much so I have stopped carrying around a separate MP3 player (Zune HD for tha win) when I don't need my full collection with me.
However i would definitely recommend installing a kernel with VooDoo sound to make the most of the hardware. I also use PowerAMP (great, great software with a very useful EQ) and move back and forth between the stock Samsung earbuds when I want to be able to take calls easily while listening, and Etymotic HF5s when I just want to focus on the music.
With a little software/hardware attention, the Galaxy S is a first class music player, without doubt.
From what I've read, it's one of the best sound chips but the drivers suck atm, supercurio seems to be releasing Voodoo drivers up to date as they are released and Voodoo control app updates every other day you can especially notice the difference with the fm radio, make sure your headphone amplifier is on maximum in Voodoo control app and you should see a difference

The audio is Clear Crisp and loud Enuff !....but as i said vodoo sound kernel, but it doesn't do much with the bass
The audio just lacks the Bass throbs , pumps beats.... somehow i think badly designed equilizer from samsung is the culprit !....
Never say Nokia is better than any Android phone, no matter what!
That said, I enjoy the sound of my Galaxy S but even if some hardcore nerd proves that a Nokia phone -- any one among the lots -- is good in music than SGS, I will still remain too much happy with SGS (aka the best android phone in India).
BTW, try various equalizers in the PowerAMP, you should be good. One more thing though, I think N8 us better in Camera than SGS. But still, if I'm to rate SGS and N8, it would be:
SGS - 8/10
N8 - 4/10 (anyone who doesn't know why, is just lame, or trying to be one)
Android is Future! And you'll hear some newly appointed (other than Elops) nokia chief making an announcement of Android Adoption by Nokia in 2013-14. Sooner, if Nokia's lucky.
Stock head phones will almost always suck. You need to spend a fair bit of money to get accurate sound reproduction. I use a quality set of sealed ear buds with my sgs, and base reproduction is excellent.
A phone company is never going to include the $100+ headphones required for an audiophile with a phone... Most people would never use them, so it would be a waste.

Chill guys any nokia phone stand nowhere in front of our Galaxy S
just talking about the audio part which bothered me
How about trying these headphones
http://www.sony.co.in/product/mdr-xb20ex
Or any tested suggestions ? Senhiesser may be ?
Problem solved !!! Awesome Music
Solution
Sony MDR-XB40LP
Sony MDR-XB20LP
Sony MDR-XB300

Consider using Voodoo Sound
Try rock eq in official music player is very amazing mixed with voodoo kernel ... Too Loud and so clean sound, better then any expensive limited mp3 device!

I had also this "bad" experience with combination of voodoo and poweramp and then I found this thread which solved everything... if you do this with poweramp, remember to disable the eq from PA.

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!
Hey all
About a week ago my Galaxy S was stolen at a festival, so yesterday I bought myself a second hand O2X. I like it a lot even though there's no stable ICS rom available as of now.
The only thing I dislike about the phone is the fact that it's speaker quality (the bottom one for music/video) is so horribly bad compared to the Galaxy S. Especially when you realize that they advertise this phone as Dolby Mobile capable. It's just so quiet and weak and it does not seem to pronounce any bass or treble correctly.
So I'm asking you O2X users: is there some sort of tweak available that brings out the real power of that speaker?
Running CM7 2.3.7 btw. Thanks!
The speaker itself won't be loud nor specialy good but you can try to flash a kernel with voodoo sound (fe ETaNa's kernel).
he is talking about the SPEAKER sound. voodoo only alters the volume of headphone output.
yeah, its a gripe that the speaker is so quiet, but it actually is a really high quality speaker, only not used to full potential.
what most people do is use the dsp manager app to crank up the freq's at the speaker graphic eq. adds distortion, but what ya gonna do.
f**k LG's "devs"
edit: dolby mobile is pure crap, which works only in original music and video app AND also only works for headphones. (it friggin distorts the bass a lot, i hated it. power amp way better)
Hello

The quality is really good with good bass and it's also pretty loud.
I'm impressed.
Hi there, i have the Zuk Z1 since yesterday, I came from a Nexus 4 and I can tell the audio chip/DAC of the Z1 is really good for a phone ! Compared to my N⁴, there's a HUUUUGE difference in stereo image, dynamics and the amping is very good (nearly 2× more volume on the Z1). I wasn't waiting for so much
For information, I own a 450€ audio interface (SPL Crimson) for my music production and listening which has very good preamps and converters + an AKG Y55 headphones (and monitoring speakers for music production) so I guess you can trust me when I say that the Z1 has a really good audio chip/DAC for a phone ^^
Cheers

What kind of music do you produce?
Im a producer as well. Drum n bass, crossbred, hardcore and sometimes dubstep.
@MUG3NHC Nice to meet some others music producers ^^ I would like to hear what you're doing
Personnaly, I often blend Rock elements (Guitars & Bass) with Electronic music. As now I've tried Drum'n'Bass (which I do really like), standard EDM/Dance music, Dubstep, Glitch, Dark Ambient, Progressive Rock, Metal, Funk, etc... ^^ my latest production (work still in progress) is more EDM related (I wanted to try something different, with a more mainstream approach, still it combines dance with glitch and dubstep but also one very discrete rock guitar and bass ^^)
Link here : http://picosong.com/SD8N/
Dirac power sound included according to Dirac (but not mentioned by zuk in specification plus dedicated noise cancelling earphones via usb type c will appear as aftermarket item).
The Chinese launch was accompanied by a music box gift so there seems to be some focus on the audio quality. I can't find any specific details of the DAC though (in the same way that xiaomi and letv advertise HiFi audio and dedicated processor).

To be honest, your tune is a little bit too dancy for me.
Matter of taste tho.
I've got a lot of tunes on my pc, but a lot of them aren't mixed, so i only have 3 on my soundcloud atm:
https://m.soundcloud.com/pur3h8
@MUG3NHC i do really like your music called Night Rain, great ambience
I told you this last song I shared was more dancy/mainstream than what I usually do ^^ Here's an old production of mine which is a more ambient track (on my YouTube channel) : http://youtu.be/gUd10n92jL8
How is the speaker audio-quality compared to something like HTC One devices?
Is the DAC & AMP somewhere near the quality of the HTC 10, LG V20 or Axon 7?
Regards Forsaked
I can only compare to the iPhone 6S.
The speaker of the P10 is a bit louder, but on the loudest setting it sounds a bit distorted or overdriven. When I set 2 steps down it sounds like the iPhone 6S in direct comparison. The loudest setting is good for ringtones and they sound really well, if you don't have songs like metal or trance as ringtone.
With headphones (Beyerdynamics DT-770) and some FLAC files I couldn't hear any differences.
Pocketnow made an audio review for the P10.
https://youtu.be/jBzEmOhfcSU
The loudness of headphone output is 1/3 of iphone 7, 40% quieter than Galaxy S7. Not very loud. Both Phonearena and GSMarena confirm this.
I can confirm that the sound in P10 is very nice in Bowers and Wilkins P5 jack.
If you run flacs and Hi-Res Audio its very nice. Blutooth in AAC is also nice.
The Sound in P10 is designed by Hardan Kardon and the DAC is made of Yamaha Commercial Audio
It is well enough loud, if you use the Huawei music app you must run DTS.
Its pros is rock, blues, vokal, acoustic, jazz, funk etc... The sound is egaging, dynamic, detailed and lively better than iphone 4S, and other mobiles ive tried. The phones strongest audio card is something called SEPARATION, between instruments, that is simply outstanding. You hear details of what drum it is, clear vokal, and all the instruments is well placed in a room.
Classical sounds nice, but is not its strongest card, it could have more clarity and focused details..
If your are a Beats head, that damage your ears with hiphop, Skrillex and tekno at high volume, maybe your not satisfyed.
I cranked House of Pain Jump around in Poweramp, and that sounded nice.
HTC 10 should on the papers have better audio sound tho.
But I want to know if the Huawei P10 is ready with drivers to connect a Dac via USB for example Dragonfly.
I ask this because alot of other people wants to know the same.
Works with ESS chipset in the B&O modular for the LG G5.
I prefer to disable DTS. Nice sound but the volume is a little lover than Htc
I just want to give my opinion on this:
I have both the Axon 7 and the P10 Plus and I must say that output is better in the P10 Plus, and I don't understand why.
I don't know what kind of sorcery does DTS mode, but it pumps the sound in a really nice way.
When you disable DTS, Axon 7 sounds better in HiFi res.
Probably is because there is no way to use the AKM DAC on the Axon 7 with a proper equalization, so even when the sound is good, it can't be used along the Dolby Atmos feature. Dolby Atmos only kicks in when using the speakers, or if you want to use it with headphones, it will automatically change to Snapdragon DAC. So far there is no way to use Atmos and the AKM dac together.
I'm using Sony XBA-H1 which I find pretty decent earbuds to test this.
:good:
Its Confirmed by Huawei that P10 use the latest Hi6403 soundchip (typical with Kirin960) that supports Hi-Rez
Its rumoured that Harman Kardon, and Yamaha Commercial Audio group has worked on the sound in P10
It's just to bad that the amplifier is to weak. It makes the volume lower than the competitors.

I don't know, but this P10 Plus sounds better than my Axon 7, and is supposed that Axon 7 is the best audio phone.
Activating DTS make everything more punchier and richier.
The Audio quality is great. But the low volume might be because of some EU regulations.

Problem is that we don't have a way to equalize the output using the high quality dog, because as long as we turn on Dolby Atmos, it changes to Qualcomm one.
Is a pity we don't have a stock or default equalizer besides Dolby Atmos, because is useless if we want the best quality out of the headphone jack.
I don't know if this trick or a simualy trick works

Is not only about the volume, but more of the equalization, and no trick can help with that.

Using stock music player with my Trinity Master IEM (2BA drivers, 1 dynamic) and it has the best sound output so far among my existing devices (xiaomi mi3, nexus 5, oppo f1s). The sound is crisp and full. With DTS, everything sounds louder but more artificial.
