I wear hearing aids and get along OK.....without them I am lost at night to hear the alarm on my Note 4.
Does anyone have a Note 5 who can comment on the loudspeaker quality / loudness relative to a Note 4?
Thanks in advance....
I dont own a note 4, but compare to note 3, note5 is softer and sound more vocalize, try using sharp tone sound
I just received my Note 5 and did a sound comparison with my Note 4. I'm not sure I have the most discerning ear but the Note 5 notification sounded slightly louder to me than the Note 4 notification. (I made sure the sound sliders were set the same on both phones.)
It might be worth visiting a Best Buy to compare the two.
Thanks for the input
Note 5 is louder, clearer, and the speaker positioning is better. It also has a better range as well, you'll hear more highs and lows.
Just got my Note 5. Pretty good speaker and by far better than Note 4's. I hated that speaker!!
Note 4 had a loud speaker but quality of sound was raw. Note 5 has better sound quality... More finished and as loud. Plus the speaker placement helps.

yea the note 4 speaker was terrible especially once you added a case to it. although it would have been amazing to have stereo side mounted speakers now that there is some extra edge real estate from the IR blaster removal i am not disappointed by the current speaker. it is an iterative improvement. its better than i was expecting but i wasnt expecting anything other than what we got on the note 4.
note 4 speaker can be boosted to double volume through googy max kernel and googy tweaks tool or through synapse with supported kernels like halasszk kernel or through change values in mixer path ( with root explorer )
but unfortunately note 5 has no kernel support boosting volume niether code source to be changed
Listening to Spotify on my Note 5, the sound is surprisingly good, I can hear the bass and treble much better than I expected.

Immediately ran and grabbed my co-worker's 6S to test this, Lies.
Let's see if new Note 7 comes with a louder speaker.
To the OP. How deaf are you? I have to keep the phone close to me to be able to hear it. I have to use a high pitch sound. Gf Hates it... But while growing up I used the vibrations, so I tend to react from phones vibrations than the actual sound. If your the same maybe you should try that too.

You can you sound mod (Beats Audio, Viper4Android, Dolby Atmos)
I'm not sure what people are on here, but hands down the Note 4's speaker without a doubt is louder. And that's just the crappy Qualcomm one. The Exynos version is a little louder and sounds a little better.
The note 4 speaker for me was great. Especially for my favorite band. And loud as hell.
The note5 has a little more bass and sounds a little less stretched.....but for some things also lacks a lot more range, sounds a little more muffled for things beyond average range, and lost a few notches in volume....
Yet was supposedly a more powerful speaker.
It's really sad how long it took Samsung to build in speaker and how they keep going backwards.
They went from the 2009 omnia hd with what could have possibly been the best sounding stereo speakers to the quiet one in the Galaxy S1. The Note 2 one a few years later was ok. Then it was another 2 years to get to the note 4 one which especially the Exynos one rocked!
Then the note5 improved bass but lost range, got muffled, and lost volume.
Then the S7 came....i understand it's a water proof speaker but it got even worse. It's decent but could have been so much more.
And they still are stuck on single speakers

I've had this mobile like 2 months now. and im starting too realize how bad the sound on this device is. I have 3 set of Headphones like Bose Quietcomfort, Beats by dre, and the sound is so much better and higher if you try the same headphones on my old iphone 4. Why do samsung have so low sound? any suggestion? ive tried the most of volumeboosters out there like Voodoo or Volume plus etc, it gets a litle better but far away from the old iphone?

I have to agree, haven't noticed any problems with music or video sound quality/volume through stock and big AKG headphones. Maximum is always a little too much for normal listening.

Sorry to hear your having problems. Subjectively, I'm having no problems with the sound. In fact though this phone is similar to the S2, i have noticed much improvement with the note's sound quality in-call.

I experienced the same thing as you, as I had an iPhone 4 previously and the sound quality from the iPhone was much more full and overall louder.
The fix for my Note was to get Voodoo Louder from the market (paid app), and it does wonders for obtaining higher volume levels, as well as giving the Note a more full bodied sound (though only through your headphone jack).
Give it a try and see!
for me galaxy note produce high quality sounds and sound volume can be realy high. I had sgs2 and listening within music was pain in the ass
Try removing dirt from your ears LOLJK...just buy voodoo louder or poweramp.
I fixed the low sound volume in the stock music player by going to> menu> more> settings> equalizer> custom> and r
move the levers all the way up, all of them, than go to sound effects and choose> Bass Enhancement, and be careful not to damage your ears, the internal streakers will be louder too.

I recently purchased a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000). And I noticed that when I use the AUX port in my car to play Google Music through - I have to turn up my volume much higher than I did with my iPhone 3G. I have the "Media Volume" all the way up on my Note. Problem is that if I switch to the radio - which is rare but might happen - it will be far louder than using my phone. Any way to level this out?
Oh please just read my post one post above yours, my car's speakers will blow off while using the GNote.
I get better sound quality on my note with stock headphones than used to on my iPhone 3g(stock headphones), maybe was something faulty with the iPhone... Also i don't need to raise the volume over the middle level sound bar. That's loud enough!

That also happens with my pioneer car unit. With the iPhone i used level 20 plugged with the phone port rather than the headphone out(wich bypassed the iOS volume), with the note i have to use something like vol 40! What i do is set the Multimedia volume to the MAX that seems to "fix" the problem! ...
There's little benefit from software here. Like sgs2 note has inferior DAC( yamaha) compared to SGS or iphone. It's hardware limitation here.

LOL, thats the most geeekest thing i think ive heard too day I like it
but anyways if u try them in an iphone you will hear clearly a difference! And I do not even consider myself any good at hearing stuff like that,,,
Got my Nexus 4 today, for those in the UK, i bought it on PAYG from o2 (£399)
Been running FLAC files through PowerAMP with my Sennheiser IE7's and they sound as good, if not better than my Cowon J3 DAP.
The Cowon J3 is a high-end DAP so i'm really impressed this phone can compete.
No yellow screen issues so far either, but i've not been benchmarking yet, gonna give it a week before i stress it out.
Yeah I was really surprised with the audio when I first plugged in my XB-1000's. I was expecting mediocre-bad audio quality that you typically get with phones but this seems really great. It's a really well rounded phone.
Wow, surprising, and good to hear. My GS2 really has dead lifeless sound through my ety's. I've taken to using my Pre for MP3's as it sounds infinitely better. I hope others post their impressions here as this may be one thing that pushes me over to this handset once it arrives here. Damn shame they only put max 16g in it if it really is a musical media player. Did supercurio weigh in on it yet?

I think the Nexus 4 has the same DAP as the GSIII (US). There is a noticeable sound difference although the amp volume is lower. It still sound much better than the GalaxyNexus + Sound Tweaks.
Actually now I've tried headphones, incredible on stock audio settings with Poweramp.
I have one issue, using the headphone jack with the line input on my car suggests the output is quite low (I used to have an Atrix, I had to turn that down one from full because it distorts!). I now have to turn my car up quite high to be able to hear anything. One thing I am appalled about is the fact the device doesn't seem to play nice with my car charger... i get serious background noise when that is plugged in (no issues on the Atrix)

i had an international SGS3 with the voodoo sound implementation from siyah, while the Nexus 4 does sound worse its not a whole lot worse.
the main differences fell with the bass they are not quite as deep and the highs are a bit rolled off compared to the SGS3 but not enough to cause an unpleasant listening experience; im sure with time perhaps with DSP manager it will be even closer.
but the bottom line is its not that much worse that id go back to the SGS3 and audio quality was my main concern with the keeping either handset (i've only just put the SGS3 on ebay )
for the comparisons i used Shure SE535;s IEM's

I don't have any Apple devices so I can't compare, but I can tell you it sounds really good with my older XB-500's too in comparison to my PC soundcard & especially previous phone (Xperia X10).
It's not head-thumpingly bassy and loud like you'd get with a proper amp, but there is still some good bass and just overall the sound is very pleasant. :good: I think you will be quite happy with how it sounds if you're not overly audiophilic.

cant speak for the iphone but!, i have a cowon S9 and as many know sound ALOT better than apple devices and the Nexus 4 is not far off of the Cowon S9 once again not quite as deep bass, or as crisp highs but pretty damn close. (for reference tho SGS3(int) with siyah kernal sounds the same as Cowon S9 + J3)
I noticed a much better audio then I had on my inspire through Bluetooth.
But then again my phone was 2 years old. So I was expecting as much.:laugh:

I was using an iPhone 4 while I waited for my nexus, I can say the nexus sounds a thousand times better.
Testing now through Sennheiser HD 280s. Sound quality is excellent to my ears. No hiss, pops. Much better than the GS2, the DAC on that is a pile. Volume could probably be a touch louder, I'm between two and three clicks down from max volume in Google Music for regular listening volume. That may explain the low volumes with car stereos. I'll compare with an iPhone 5 later.
Ah so it wasn't just me! I did notice a difference when switching from my gs2. I use the new xb600. It sounded like crap on my gs2.

Thank you, guys! I'm very impressed with the results! Waiting for the further comparision with other devices
loving the nexus 4 but music hooked up to car stereo sounds like crap compared to the iphone 4s/5.
Output level is extremely low on the nexus as well. What needs to be at a level 20 on my wifes iphone is like a 32 on the nexus 4. Ill experiment w/ the equalizer tonight but as it stands it doesnt compare. (sorry for being unbiased)
I thought the GS3 had better sound output. My n4 just doesnt get as loud. Is there anything I can do to fix this? btw i use google music
I'm coming from a Oneplus One a much better phone for music than my poor old Galaxy S2. How does the Oneplus 3 do compared to its predecessor's? Is it loud, undistorted, have a good range in its built-in DAC for the 3.5mm Jack?
Thanks-

No wonder it's gonna be better than a 6 year old phone.
Loving the sound from my Xiaomi Mi Piston 3 on my Oneplus 3..!
It easily tops the quality and power of the Nexus 6. My completely stock OP3 sounds just as good and loud as my rooted N6 using Viper4Android.
Not bad at all, much better than my Nexus 5X.
Sound quality is good and I was a bit worried when I got mine. Coming from a Huawei P8, which I found to be great, I have been very happy with OP3.
I use Neutron player and after I took time to disable some features and enable others, I am very pleased. Output is loud and clear makes my earbuds boom nicely. Overall, no complaints at all. Speaker volume on the other hand... not as good as I'd like.
But, headphone, for me anyway, is most important.

Ahem... I think that the Wolfson WM8994 is the audio chipset of the first Samsung galaxy ( am i right ? ) not a phone...
It has the generic Snapdragon converter. Nothing special but sound quality is decent through the h/phone out. When I had the phone I used it a couple of times with both Grado and Sennheiser cans. No real complaints, not amazing. Good enough imho.
We see here again in this thread that many people mean "loud" when they say "good quality".
Yes, the signal level on the headphone jack is quite high. This has the advantage that high-impedance headphones (i.e. "those big ones for audiophiles") work without problems with the OP3 and are loud enough; on many smartphones, this is not the case.
Furthermore, the dynamic range is really good. I.e., the difference between the quietest and the loudest parts of a recording is reproduced quite faithfully. This is also not a given on smartphones.
The actual sound quality (!) is absolutely OK but of course not on the level of more advanced DACs.
The non-audiophile listener with his usual MP3s of pop music will be completely content.

I never said it's a phone. Do I?
The Wolfson is actually the DAC which is used in The Galaxy S and there was an App called Voodoo Controller by Supercurio which enabled really undistorted and clear output.
Wolfson DACs where also used in some BMW and Mercedes by the way...
Finally mines arrived been using it for a day listening with inateck Aries earphones and I'm very impressed good amount of bass and undistorted Highs. Using viper on oxygenos. Way better than my s2 and not massively better than my oneplus one.

So the sound quality is average as for the phone? So probably big difference compared to good quality mp3 player? I was thinking if zte axon 7 has really better sound quality or just dolby, useless for music 32bit. People say it's noticeably better, but just because it has more bass or whatever, or with dolby on when it can get only worse for music.
Maybe you or anyone else knows something about sound quality, has a good headphones to check it, has some comparison to good portable audio player or decent phone.
I'm not an audiophile but I can appreciate sound quality more than others, I'm using old Cowon j3 player and it sounds really well. Have also OPO which I'm using with Spotify, but can hear sound degradation over Cowon
When it's loud, or has a lot of bass or hurting ears high tones says nothing about sound quality. I would like to know how is the soundstage, if the instruments are separate, if they are heard well not mixed up with other sounds, if the sound is flat or not, you said the dynamic range is fine, that's good.
Do anyone know what sound chip is inside OP3?
Music audio quality via Aux and Bluetooth are key for me. I need to know if it's true that the new Note 7 with the 820 supports the same quality that is in the HTC 10. I was reading some posts elsewhere that the Note 7 has some new drivers that are different than the S7 and should be the same quality as the HTC 10. I currently own the 10 and love it, but mostly because of the Boomsound/Audio quality when listening to music. But I really love Sammy's OLED display and Camera.
I'm by no means an audiophile, and I've never owned an HTC. But I do have a decent set of medium-priced Shure in ear headphones that sounded great on my Note 4, GS5, and continue to sound great on my Note 7. If you're really picky about sound quality I highly recommend going to your nearest T-Mobile or Best Buy and try out a display model with your headphones of choice.
Flawless.
Unless a test is released, I will continue to assume it is nothing special and an average performer.
It is very close to the same sound quality as the Note5. Can't compare it to the HTC but from the articles I read, I am not sure if compares or not. It sounds good but it still could benefit a lot from Viper4Android.
I have jump on demand and came from the HTC 10. The screen and s-pen are amazing. Blow the HTC away.
The audio is garbage on the note 7 compared to the 10. It is exactly the same hardware as the S7. Speaker gets decently loud but there is no crispness like on the 10. And the headphone jacks are no comparison.
In fact I ended up buying a Fiio Q1 dac/amp to make up for it.
Lg v20 releasing tonight with quad dac.

I'm no audiophile either but my Note 7 sounds pretty good with Beats Solo Wireless phones, particularly if I plug it in. The Samsung Level Pro U I have which is supposed to tap into the UHD feature could use some more bass but is otherwise okay.
Samsung has a protocol called UHQ. It only works with three audio devices from, of course, Samsung. The level On Pro, the Level on U Pro and a bluetooth speaker. Coupled with Poweramp beta, it will either up convert everything to 24\192, or most importantly,stream native 24\192 wired or .......WIRELESSLY (emphasis mine).
As the proud owner of countless bluetooth stereo devices, going back to 2005, this is the highest bar achieved, I've heard from a mobile device, without an external DAC. As with all unqualified statements of excellence, I am sure others will have opinions on this. I will be listening to Music.
The sound quality I get from the Note 7 without modifying (all flat) it is fine. I like the "Tube Amp Pro" (simulates soft timbre of tube amplifier). Not perfect by any means. And not the same high quality of an high end audio system. But impressive.
You are never ever going to get the high end wired audio quality sound from Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be much better than any "smartphone" builtin speakers by a large margin. Only wired high end full range full sized headphones will you get true high end quality audio sound.
What surprises me is how many people don't care about sound quality. They rather have the convince of the builtin speakers or Bluetooth. It is the Thing now days to play all audio through your builtin speakers. No matter where you are and who is around you. Convince is over ruling quality.
So I am very surprised to see someone asking about audio quality.
It also surprises me to see how many people think "okay" quality sound is high quality.
-
So,......................if you are as convinced as you are that no protocol will improve Bluetooth, who am I to change your mind as it already made up. With the advent of the loss of the jack on the Iphone, there will some increased urgency to make bigger strides to improve wireless audio devices.
Not to sound too much like a fanboy but this tech is different. I am pretty sure this isn't a case of cognitive dissonance but I hear a great deal of difference between using these below with and without UHQ turned on.
http://www.samsung.com/us/audio/hea...wireless-pro-headphones-black-eo-pn920cbegus/
I am currently using the above, the VModa wireless and the Dash with the Note 7. This is better and compares well to the KEF wired headphones.
If any of you own the recent samsung phones, get a set of these and if they don't change your mind about bluetooth, I'll pay your return shipping (limited to 5 of you)
Please be sure to use the UHQ app and Poweramp beta with the experimental 24\192 streaam.

I used to have the Note 5 and definitely was louder. The thing is, the Note 7 has IP68 rating for water resistance, so the phone is pretty sealed up and the sound is weak because of it.
My audio through bluetooth was great for being bluetooth then all of a sudden I noticed a loss in volume and quality past few days. I haven't changed any settings or installed any apps that should interfere

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 LG V20'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!
So far for me I find it to be OK. Coming from having Samsung Note phones, I find it to be a big improvement. It could still use work IMHO, but I find it to be much louder and just as clear than any of the past Note series speakers.
I would say that listening to music coming from the speaker, is better than average. Its no Axon 7 or HTC 10 but your average consumer will be satisfied with the volume and clarity imo.
Can you compare it to LG G5 speaker?
I am completely deaf in one ear and partially in the other ( thank you drunk driver head on hit and run ) and I love the speaker quality. I have actually had to turn down the notification volume cause it is to loud for me. So far I really like this phone and I was a Note 1, 2, 3 and 4 user. My favorite part is when it goes to "sleep" and I am going to use it I pick it up and it reads my fingerprint and TADA it is ready. I am very grateful for the second screen. Overall I am extremely pleased with this one.
The loudness and clarity is not a Gimmick, at least for mine . I usually hear music on Pandora and Spotify, and believe me, as someone who hear music daily on spotify and pandora, im experiencing something very different than other devices i have owned.
This is great to hear as I wear hearing aids and the speakers on the Note 7 and S7 Edge sucked for speaker calls....
is it better than a iphone 5s? XD like ^ mention note 7 kinda suck when i was testing music through it
Let me know

I want to hear ( duh , no pun intended ) your thoughts once you get it also. Granted I keep it relatively close to me but I am pleased with the sound so far.

I am on Sprint so it looks like I won't have it till the end of the week but I will certainly check back in and let you know.
I was inside a AT&T store playing with the phone and was listening to Youtube. The store was packed and I could hear the speaker very clearly. It wasnt bad at all for one speaker.
Can anyone compare the speaker quality to V10? (I have V10 and sound from the build in speaker is a nightmare! Simply worse than from the worst cheap crap)

So, I have had the phone for a day now and I will say that the bottom speaker for calls, You Tube, etc for my ears ( I wear BTE hearing aids) is the best I have ever experienced in a phone and totally blows away my experience with previous Samsung notes.
The earpiece speaker is also the best I have experienced for my particular hearing loss, especially when set to the setting that gives clear sounding voices during calls.
This is exactly what I hope for every time I get a new phone and I seem to have finally found it.
For some reason I thought the V20 will come with dolby atmos or some audio enhancement software by B&O Play. I have seen the Korean version with the B&O logo on the back of the V20.
So I am guessing that the US models don't have any added audio enhancements. Correct?
My V10 audio gets a powerful boost when dolby atmos switches on. The volume level will be around 15% and its pretty loud.
On my V20, the volume has to be increase up to 50 -60% for comfortable "loudness".
Let's hope soon there will be some sort of root for the V20, so I can install the dolby atmos zip file.

I can agree with you on that. I have had the note 7 , moto x pure and Bluetooth is unnaturally clearer in my cars sound system. Have not tried it with head phones yet but I can only image the improvement.

When i pair my V20 to the Fm transmitter on the car, it sounds higher than the when i connect other smartphones. Also, for some reason, i can hear things in the song i didn't even know where there. I'm not joking. It is like it amplifies the gain on the background as well making you hear what you are missing from the song. But my bluetooth wont take the hi-fi though. Maybe is because it is not one of the new types of Fm transmitters
Still - is there any former owner of V10? Can anyone compare the speaker quality to V20?

:good: Good for you sir.
I posted about this in the V20 Q&A section, but this is the same topic so I thought I'd drop my two cents in here. The speaker on my LG G5 blows my V20's speaker out of the water and it's kind of disappointing because I love everything else about the phone over the G5 (both phones are the T-Mobile variants btw). Watching videos is fine on the V20, but music is a no-go. I could fill the room with surprisingly clear and deep sound with my G5, but the V20's speaker when it comes to music playback sounds like it's being filtered through a dense mesh
