I had a oneplus one and like how the speaker sound.does the s6 speaker sound good?
I think it sounds great for what it is. That last little tick to 100% gets loud. Again, for a phone speaker. I have a Nexus 6 and the GS6 gets as loud but doesn't sound as full or in stereo when facing both devices speakers.
It's pretty good no complaints. It definitely beats putting it on the back of the phone

When on a call the other person sounds very metallic, but when playing music through the back speaker it sounds fine. Also when on a call the speaker phone sounds fine. Is my speaker detective or is the quality just bad for the ear speaker?

HTC phones always have crappy speakers in them. I doubt you have a bad one, it's just that HTC is cheap and won't put in better speakers.

I disagree. Quality isn't bad, volume is the issue.
of the 3 HTC phone i've had here is my raking
1. tilt... by far had the best speaker
2. vivid
3. aria
i'm not impressed with the vivid's speaker but it's not horrible. not something i would choose as to whether to get the phone or not.
well I mean does anyone else's sound like they have their ear on a tin can?
I'm not having issues with my earpiece speaker but I am with the back speaker.. I can get a call and it is SUPER loud, so much so that the speaker actually distorts. I've tried turning it down but I have "pocket mode" on, so it boosts the volume, weird thing is, it's in a case, not my pocket. Could the case be screwing with the phone's ability to "sense" whether it's in a pocket or not? And why in the heck would the speaker even be distorting?! It does not do this when I play music thru it at max volume, by the way..

I'm having the exact same issue.
Thinking about getting an hd+, Is e speaker as bad as the nook tablet? All the reviews say you can barely hear movies. What about with cm10? Is the sound any better?
the reviewers must be hard of hearing. the speaker is pretty loud but tinny and firing the wrong way. but loud. put a post it note near the speaker and it'll redirect the sound to you instead of away.

Thanks for the response. How is it compared to an ipad speaker? I'm just afraid that it won't be loud enough for my daughter if there is background noise.

You can hear it fine in a quiet room. Any noise though and you'll need headphones, a little better than my phone.
maybe mine is louder than others because i cna hear mine loud and clear at aroind 70% with my daughter watching tv in the same room. maybe my hearing is sensitive., which would be odd considering i used to drive around with 6 sub, 4 mids and 2 horns in my car.
My husband has the HD+ and I have the HD. Both are plenty loud in my opinion. Much better than my Nook Color (which I imagine would be similar to the Nook Tablet). No idea how any of them compare to iPad.
The speakers are really loud. Louder than my TF700, or my Amaze 4g, or my Ipad2. They must've fixed it with the latest update.
Really? What firmware are you on?
Anyone else agree?
The current speaker is loud and good, but when it comes to watching videos, it can get a bit awkward especially to those who had phones with front facing speakers before.
I agree, I have the Xperia Z2 with surround speaker and when I get my OnePlus 3, it is been weird to have just one side speaker at bottom in landscape mode

I know. I tried using the mono surround mod but the effect is underwhelming. Man, if only oneplus put another speaker on the top side, then it would sound even better.
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel 2's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I was astonished when I heard the speakers for myself, they are really loud but clear!
they're good, but not great.
I like the speakers, but they need some tweaking, the sound isn't as full bodied as my HTC One M7 was. They're clear sounding, but a bit tinny for my taste. I'll be happy when some eq mods get implemented.
I was really pleasantly surprised by them. They are just as loud as my Nexus 6P WITH the Viper4Android soundboost all the way up. Once I get V4A on the Pixel 2 I wonder just how loud it will actually get. Sounds amazing for such a small phone too, wow.
Got mine in yesterday. nice crisp clear sound... but the earpiece speaker is treble biased, and the bottom speaker is bass biased...
Makes things sound really weird when listening to music or watching movies in landscape...
I am getting an exchange unit and will update when that unit comes in.
Update: Exchange unit came in... I've been using it for a few days now, and I have noticed no difference from my last unit... an hour on the phone with google device engineers got me the response that this is by design to increase the frequency range... I still don"t like it as it bothers me..
who wants to buy a gently used pixel2?

The same situation. Is it feature or defect? Can anybody confirm it? Thanks.
Anyone's speakers distorting or crackling? Coming from iPhone 7. Speakers on iphone are not loud, but they do sound good. Pixel 2 by comparison is tinny and crackle at higher volumes.
Coincidentally, I'm RMAing the Pixel 2 right now for ticking noise in earpiece and constant high frequency emission. Wondering if maybe my speakers are no bueno too. No one else seems to have the speaker distortion or at least too early.
Edit: I was playing "Bridge Burn" by little comets when i noticed. Then played thievery corporation's "Culture of Fear". Maybe someone else can compare?

My speakers seem to rattle a little at max volume, even just with Google Assistant or navigating. Haven't noticed any issues on calls though I haven't made a lot since I got my Pixel 2.
Overall quality seems all right a few notches down from max, but is quite noticeably worse than my nexus 6.
Speakers
Could anybody check if speakers are producing the same sound (you can cover it by finger). My unit's top speaker has more hights, bottom one has more mids and bass. Maybe it's by design. I am not sure. Thank you.

Yes, absolutely agree with you. Bottom is far better at base and mids. Top speaker is opposite.

It could be related to separate dedicated drivers in each speaker (Allowing for larger respective drivers), or simply an equalization software aspect.

Ditto here. Noticed it right out of the box. Top is treble biased, bottom is bass. It seems design derivative. Also possible too because the top speaker is also used for earpiece/speakerphone?
Waiting for more confirmation from google whether this is real or defect. Good to hear from here I'm not the only one.
No issue though with the phone so far.

The are crystal clear but when I compare them to my nexus 6, the bass is better on the nexus

Also have the ticking sound, and so so sounding speakers. Trying to RMA. Apparently turning off NFC is supposed to help with the ticking sound. Haven't done it myself....too many digital reward cards
Noticed quite a bit of distortion when navigating at max volume. The voice is full bodied and, combined with the software EQ choice, I think it hits that perfect low-mid tone and overpowers the speakers. Stepping it down two notches basically eliminates it. Also noticed that the speakers are very directional compared to the OG pixel XL. Had both devices playing the same music and Pixel 2 audio disappears when faced away compared to the OG pixel which was much more audible when the speaker was pointed away. I think the amount of bass they are trying to offer is lofty and unattainable and the device would sound better with a bit more mid and less extreme treble and bass. If I decide to keep this device I'll be praying for the dev community to offer up some display and audio tweaks. P.S. I haven't noticed the ticking/noise from the speakers on my device but I think if they dropped this ultra hifi EQ choice, a slight drop in highs would probably make it much less noticeable or might make it disappear completely if the frequency could be isolated and cut (I'm looking at you 6kHz and above).
Can anyone get me /etc, /lib & /bin folders? I might take a look if there is any ways to improve your device's speakers
Hello,
I'm seriously considering of buying ROG Phone 2, mainly for its front stereo speakers. Those who own this phone, could please tell me how are the stereo balance from this speakers? I used to have Sony Xperia Z5 Ultra. This phone had front stereo speakers but there weren't so good. I especially didn't like the balance of loudness coming out from each speaker. Bottom speaker was noticeably louder than top speaker, which was very annoying and ruining the experience of watching video or playing games on it. How are the front stereo speakers of ROG Phone 2?
Thanks

Loud & balanced, 100% perfect stereo front firing speakers, each speaker having a dedicated amplifier, you won't get anything better...
Thank you for reply. Ordering one now.
