Somethin' bad goin' on with jack - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hello, i bought 3T cause my Z2's cellular and wifi died. Today i plugged in the headphones from the Z2 (NC31E) and the audio quality is awful. Even if i turn off the enhacement option in settings its not much of a deal. When i push in the headphones only for 4 pins (black ring between 4-5 pin is same as the black plastic ring under jack on phone) it gets slightly better but some songs such as Sail by Awol sounds weird and some parts are missing from the playback. Any fix?

Sounds great for me, had no issues. Came from the Z3+ and audio quality is way better to me and louder. My AKG Y55, K551 and my old Sony's MDR-10RC all work flawlessly.
I use tidal and Poweramp for my personal music.
On my Z3+ I had to use my fiio a1 to get decent sound and EQ then purchased a fiio k1 USB DAC that I use to drive my higher ohm headphones.
So I would advise buying a new set of headphones as the cable or aux plug might be damaged. For a decent in ear and low budget I would recommend sound magic E10 or a set of Sony MDR-650AP. Some Sony noise cancelling headphones are proprietary to Xperia's
Also a good clean audio mod is https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516
There is one under atlant for the OP3, I had to use the hotfix cm/AOSP version after updating to nougat. It's clean no fake EQ or "black magic" :laugh:
If you get some alcohol rub and a cotton bud you could clean the jack just for good measure.

Thanks for your advice, the sony headphones of mine are ok, i use them for gaming on laptop with HQ DAC and Nahimic and they sound good, but i think that the oneplus cant handle the 5-pin jack :/ I checked the soundmagic e10 and they look good, i will also look for the OnePlus Silverbullets which ppl say that are great and fairly underpriced (i have the 5€ code)

A good Stereo Bluetooth headset

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good Bluetooth Stereo headset (max £50 although anything near the £30 mark would be a bonus).
I would prefer them to be discreet i.e. in ear as opposed to over the ears, and would need the ability to pause, skip etc. and if possible (but not essential) the ability to change the headphones.
Thanks in advance,
Fuzzmo.

Sony Ds-205. Best one I tried so far.
Motorla S9s are great and you can easily find them in that price range; if you can pitch in a bit more, the S9HDs are also nice (but more expensive).

Ok cool - does it allow you to pause, scan, and skip tracks?
I also heard about the Jabra BT3030 - has anyone tried these with the X1?
i prefer the SONY-Ericsson HBH-BS220.....
changable Headphones, good Battery life (8h for A2DP/more than 10h of talk time), battery display, excellent sound quality and a very good noise reduction and automatic volume management (gets louder if you are in a noisy area)..... but i use it with a pair of Audeo PFE headphones from Phonak (I work there ^^)
I have a Nextlink/Invisio G5 headset. I had this headset for about 2 years now. Good headset, small discreet and because I wear glasses, the in ear fit works best for me. Earloops sux for us glasses wearers! LOL For the pricetag of around 50 bux you cant go wrong. The only negative is that in high winds, the headset really doesn't work all to well, but for the price and style it works for me who uses the headset day to day in the car with the windows up.
I am looking into the Jawbone Prime headsets in the next few weeks. They are a bit pricy but being Jawbone, I may opt for it.

I'll investigate these a little further. Am tempted by the Jabra BT3030 or the DS-205 that Jack mentioned. Thanks to all who replied (although if there are more suggestions then feel free to list them).

Trust me. I tried many BT stereo headsets (Sony: DS-220,205,970,980, Clip D Radio, Jabra (forget what model) ..etc) and ONLY Sony's gives the best sound quality (sound quality among Sony's are similar). DS 220 and DS 205 are basically the same with pause, scan, and skip tracks support on 205 only. Jabra BT3030 is not 3.5mm jack which will give you headache in finding a good headphone.
And one added benefit on Sony's BT headset is you can charge while using it. (Other brands will stupidly turn off if you try to charge the battery).
DS-205 + EX500SL match your X1 nicely

None of the headsets you listed have anything on this:

The DS980 is not bad...but still it doesn't sound great. It's probably some sort of limitation with the bluetooth transfer rate, as it still sounds only decent after you replace the earbuds with some higher quality ones.
Also the Sony ones have NimH batteries as far as I remember and their battery life is pretty mediocre.
Of course if you're not after great sound quality...any of the ones above will do

Hehe I think you may well have persuaded me on the 205 (and it's £50 online) - out with the Credit Card - and thanks for the heads up on the Jabra, that is one thing a lot of people don't mention. Gonna pair these with my Denon AH-C700s (a bit old but burned in and give me a wonderful deep Bass - until I can save up for the Sennheiser IE8's!)

I am after the best sound quality my £50 budget would allow. If money wasn't and issue they'd be right up there as I am sure they'd sound great but they're more than a little out of my price range
EDIT: Hmmm £87 online - should I???? Arrrgggghhh!!!! More thinking to do.....
i use motorola s9 while running on the treadmill, works out nicely because it's light and doesn't squeeze your head

The ear buds are not replacable on the DS980 without major surgery, or did you just mean the rubber bits? DS980 does not have a 3.5mm jack. I have HBH-DS220 and are happy with it, I use it with some etymotic ER6i which are good too, as an added bonus they can be plugged directly into the x1 if you have forgotten to charge up the DS220 too, something else you cant do if your headphones are permantly attached to the BT headset.

Yeah I was talking about major surgery
Actually the ear buds seem to be pretty good because once wired, they produce excellent sound. Hence the conclusion that it's something with the bluetooth module that's limiting. It seems like it's limited to medium quality transfer rate or something.
Either way, I used the DS-980 for a year and had no issues with it. In terms of sound quality though, the one I posted simply beats them. Again, if excellent sound quality is not an issue, go with any of the ones scote suggested.
Need help
I have the choice between two headsets:
1. DS 980
2. DS 205
what is important to me, is compatibility with X1 and battery life
Hello people from the planet earth=P just joking! Try the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth Stereo Headset! I have it and i LOVE it!

[Q] Why is Nook's Audio quality so Bad

Hey guys i have had a nook for quite some time now and it is a fantastic product but one thing that i really find annoying is the bad music quality.
The voice is so thin, and there's no bass at all. Why is that? please compare any song on a music player and a nook(same headphones) u'll see what i mean.
Is this because of the bad chip?
can i also implement audio decoding at software level and will that do any good?
Edit: am using cm7 pherimod 5.1 and Sony's headphones with miui music player
Edit: Okay finally figured out the problem, its the headphone jack. When u plug headphones in too fast ,i.e without stopping in btw the sound is kind of okay but if u plug them in slowly u lose the bass(it may be opposite for your case). If the headphones are not completely inserted, u lose the stereo but get high bass.
Hope this help's someone.
might be because they designed nook primarily as an e-reader not as a media playback device so likely they skimped on the audio part

What ROM, what MP3 player, what version of the NC firmware are you using?
My NC, a rooted stock 1.1.0 rom using Autonooter 3.0 running the stock mp3 player sound fine. May be a bad NC or your android OS.
Have to agree with rigy73 here. The nook color is a horrible sounding device. Probably the amp chip they used was bad.
I think the speaker is just poor quality at the end of the day. You have a poor quality speaker, you're gonna get poor quality sound no matter what you do.
I Agree.
I use my CDMA Hero as my media player using a 16Gb sdcard and also with audiogalaxy. I've played the same song on both devices using the same setup (Sony headphone, from sdacrd or audiogalaxy, CyanogenMod 7 on both) and the Nook sound is always worse. The DSPManager helps a little but it is still bad. I get that it's an ereader but they do have audiobooks and if you are going to put headphone jacks in the damn thing at least make the audio decent, it's not like it's the most expensive part of any gadget.

Agreed.. Nothing is going to help with that speaker. However, the OP used the same headphones in his/her comparison.

The poor sound quality is most likely due to the hacked software. My rooted NC with stock eclair sounds fine. I would like to hear if others with rooted NC AND running BN stock have the problems. What OS is the OP running - I bet it's not rooted stock BN.
Most likely it's the interface between CyanogenMod and the audio chips that's creating the distortion.
Since the Nook Color is a e-reader I'm pretty show Barnes & Nobles went with the cheapest DAC possible.

All depends on the kind of headphones your using. I would bet the house your using ear buds. Those things blow if you want sound quality. Personally I like the style of headphones that cover the ear more. Bigger speakers capable of decent sounding bass and the help cancel out outside noise. Mine are made by Sony and they sound awesome. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11037408
I agree with IFLATLINE. I use Jabra noise cancelling over the ear phones and I think the audio reproduction is first rate. I also agree that with ear buds the audio is lousy. I occasionally use ear buds with other MP3 players and it does seem that the Nook ranks right at the bottom. Big difference with better phones.

DAC is an integrated Ti chip TLV320DAC3100 http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/slas671/slas671.pdf
The specs on the chip is reasonable - so I would expect acceptable sound quality at "reasonable" output levels.

Rigy73: what ROM are you using? I bet that it's not rooted BN stock ROM.
Is there any way you could bypass the Nook's DAC via USB to an External USB DAC?
I am using cm7 pherimod 5.1 and Sony's headphones, which are pretty good.
Is stock rom better? Should I go back to stock.
I am no audiophile, but FWIW both rooted stock and CM7 SD have a pretty decent output on corded external speakers and over the earphones including a BT FreePulse set.

Mostly likely it is something in cm7 pherimod 5.1. Try going back to stock and let us know the results.
There's definitely something funky going on with the headphone jack. I've found that often, when I first put them in, the sound is really tinny and the low-end is pretty much missing entirely. If I unplug them and immediately plug them back in, it improves dramatically. This has been the case both with my Sony buds and my Bose over-the-ears.
EDIT: This is on CM7. BTW.

There is a problem with the Nook headphone jack, where you can push a plug into it in such a way as to get a mono sound - which has exactly the sound you describe.
Try pulling the plug out slightly.
The audio chip has excellent specs.
How much background hiss do you guys hear in CM7 off the headphone jack? I get quite a lot which is very apparent with quiet music. Volume levels don't affect it. I notice that the hiss goes away when the audio chip is reinitializing or whatever it does when apps release it.
I also hear some distortion some frequencies I think.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 Stock Ear Plugs

Hey Guys I am new to this forum and found a lot of many interesting facts about the Samsung galaxy note 2 and I am not a kind of person who would like to Root my device may be because I am not sure on how it’s done or don’t want to take risk or because till now i did not understand the exact reason for rooting if someone could volunteer and explain it in a lay man language note in Technical language that would be highly appreciated and I previously owned the Gigantic Master Piece Samsung galaxy Note and was very satisfied just got it upgraded week back an seriously made the right decision to go for this as i was in a huge confusion to go for Lumia 920 0r SG NOTE 2, Well what embarrassed me was the Stock Ear phones its really Suc*s as I am not happy at all earlier also the Note had the same Specs ear plugs , i wish Samsung should improve the quality of ear phones and get some better quality headphones Out of the box ,and also noticed all the specs and reviews i have come across nobody has done review on ear plugs that come in the box, Now I am planning to purchase a good quality ear phones could some 1 suggest the best ear plugs not headphones.

For the money I love me some SkullCandy Ear Buds. I have a couple pair of them from TJ Maxx for $6.99 each. Just in case I lose them or if one breaks.
The sound quality, to me, is excellent. For ear buds it does produce a nice clean bass tone and nice rich highs.
They come in different styles but just try out some of the cheap ones, like I did, and you just can imagine how much better the more 'expensive' ones will sound.

Thanks for your response i've found this on the forum which has saved my few bucks Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO
i dont know about anyone here but my only real complaint (and its not even really a complaint) is the Note 2 stock music settings... or the overall playback of music... its horrible lol whether im listening through headphones, aux cable for , external speaker. the settings are really distorted.
Beats audio made things worse so i deleted it.
ive tried apollo player, stock player, mx player. switched settings around and nothing everything sounds distorted. EVEN WITH STWEAKS...
i dont know why anyone would want to listen to music on the note, but hey maybe its just me ...
But in any case
i have tried a few earphones with this and all same results lol

I haven't noticed any distortion with my Bose in ear headphones, but I did have to play with the settings a lot to get the sound right. I just downloaded a trial for PowerAmp and played with it for a few minutes and it sounded really good. The stock setup from Samsung is terribly quiet STweaks helped with that. I saw that PeanutButta Jelly kernel has support for Voodoo Sound which I used before and was quiet impressed with.
I'm still stock and I agree about the quietness of the output for sound. Coming from a device that supported Beats and DSP Manager is really disappointing on this high end device. Still love this beast.

I tried different pair of ear plugs which are the Nokia Lumia and they sound very well when played on My blackberry and Nokia Lumia when same connected to SG N2 they sound very low I believe the output itself is bad Samsung need to improved there quality interns of Media .
I use Google Play Music with these settings and it sounds great! Try them out.

Sennheiser
Sennheiser IE80 works very well with the Wolfson DAC in Samsung Galaxy Note II. It really complements the already airy soundstage of the Sennheiser.
Beats and Skull Candies are bass-heavy iem that are more suited for hip-hop and techno music.
One more thing i noticed is that the ear phones are not comfortable specially i've ben using the Lumia plugs as i said earlier yesterday i thought of sharing this how cheap the quality or these stock ear plugs are, Last night was watching a Movie while sleeping and and these were so irritating that it was difficult to sleep with them when on ears , so switched to Lumia and they were so comfortable like them.
Guess What i updated the Kernel from Stock to Perseus and its giving amazing output tried Repill also that was also good
Try Frankenbeats on your phones. I really love it especially when using my sony headphones. Nice clear and thumpy bass.
I agree that the stock ear plugs are really a piece of crap. Mine are already damaged with fairly light use over 3 months.
I decided to go ahead and order a bluetooth set. Hopefully they are good.
Tried it and it spoiled my Sound i was Redpill and had to restore it to previous ,
Worst Part is i dint have the Sound effects option under Sound
Its not something shocking ,
Come on Samsung try to get some good quality Earphones ,
We paying almost like 35grand cant we expect you guys to improve the quality of earphones ?
It should not be worst quality at least make average quality
Its been like 1month now n ive hardly used it for 30mins switched to Lumia Headphones. :good:

So far I've tried the stock headphones and the gear circle. The gear circle sounds great when watching movies and i dont have to worry about the wire.

im using Blueblud X via bluetooth, awesomenesssss!
On the most part, you get what you pay for... and headphones are, generally, much better than earphones.

Hi. So are the Gear Circles better than the stock Note 4 ones? I'm mainly looking for something that will sound good in Oculus Cinema.
thanks
Level Overs are great for cinematic

Sennheiser has always been hard to beat. A superb pair of on-ear is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005N8W16U and for earbuds: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005N8W16U (a little retro looking but I sort of like that.) I don't use the canal buds which block outside sound enough to have an opinion.
No need to be specific to the Gear VR. A good 'phone is a good 'phone.
I tried using my Turtle Beach headphones first, that I use with my Xbox, but after plugging them in and connecting my phone to the Gear VR, Google Now starts pulling up consistently. I borrowed a pair of my daughter's headphones that I bought her for Christmas, and they can be plugged in and I don't get Google Now popping up consistently, so they're good in my book. They're Beats Audio headphones. Even though the Beats sound good, there must be others that work and support 7.1 surround sound, which I've read about. I would love to get a pair of those, but I just don't know much about headphones. I' D like to know if any exist that will plug into my phone, my phone plug into the VR without holding down my homescreen, and that offer multi channel surround.

Just a notice to surround sound headphones:
I would better invest in some good stereo headphones instead of surround ones.
When the app is using Oculus RealSpace3D audio plugin - which all good apps will / should use - then stereo headphones are better for binaural audio as surround headphones would deform the sound you're ears should receive!
A good implementation of binaural audio beats down every surround sound headphone model.
Also the benefits of wired ones (currently) overweight the wireless option:
- no sound lag (caused by bluetooth transcoding)
- less battery drain (bluetooth...)
- less phone heating (bluetooth..)
- better sound quality (as good sound quality wireless headphones are really expensive - audiophiles would even argue there are no wireless headphones which sound really good)
Have fun and I hope this helps!
Samsung level over, the best of all. I tried most of brand of headphones but now I am gonna stick with the level over.
I just use the ones that come with Note 4, or Koss Pro Headphones (amazing price, amazing quality)
Koss Pro Headphones rock. They sound like 400$ headphones. I did the test in a blind eye test.

I have OP3 & use following headphones/earphones
1. Sony XB30
2. MEE Electronics M6 Pro
3. 1More Tripple Driver
4. Audio Technica ATH AD900X
5. Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's
I change between these according to my needs and the songs i listen.
Though as i told earlier, audio is subjective. Try before you buy
I'm using Xiaomy Hybrid Dual Driver, too, and think about switching to Xiaomi HDPro or Sony MDR EX-450AP.
Generally speaking I prefer earbuds (I.e. in-ear headsets) over other solutions because they give good isolation and immersive sound.
Curious to see what other suggestions will be given here...
I am using Skull candy headphones for my op3
I've got the Sony MDR 10Rc and the Sennheiser cx300

Imo the Sony sounds better. They are more expensive and they're headphones whereas the Sennheisers are earphones. I use the Sennheisers when I'm on the go and the Sony's when I'm at home listening to music or watching a show etc.
I am using Apple Ear pods, sound is good but the volume control buttons of the earphones are not working
I'm using apple ear pods they sound really good tbh.
I use SoundMagic E10's for my Earphones. For headphones I use Audio Technica ATH-M50X's both awesome and inexpensive
Thanks for the replies guys but what about OnePlus Icons Graphite (the new one)

I like the Bose SoundSport earbuds
I use for years some replica of big Beats. Sounds fine on 3 HTC phones & now on OnePlus 3.
i use mee audio mduo, xiaomi piston basic and a jvc ha-fx1x , i can tell the most balanced are the mduo, great bass and trebs, the jvc ones are too basshead, the pistons delivers a greater sound/placement comfort ratio (those thins doesn't fall off even when running), but overall experience gets powered up with a good player, i use poweramp with hi-res output (no eq or tone enabled) + stock eq set on general enhancement + metal preset, i know theese are budget earbuds but they seemed to offer great quality over more expensive ones (shure se 215), hope this helped you

Wrong section. Belongs in accessories.
Beyerdynamics Byron wired headphones. Well balanced and addicted sound signature.
im using ve monk for $5 .. definetely a bang for the buck
Jaybird X3, best headphones I've had for a while, ever since I've got I didn't use any other headphones with the phone, wired or not.
Using Audio Technica m50x for a while now great headphones for the money
