Low quality bluetooth audio to headphones, car audio, anything

Hey y'all,
I've had my note 4 for a couple of weeks now and am decently satisfied with the phone (don't get me started on how laggy touchwiz is - waiting on L update). Anyway I'm having an issue with bluetooth that is driving me insane. My previous phone was a nexus 5 that I always paired with my car and my sony bluetooth headset. I had no audio quality issues and the sound was clean enough for bluetooth. I only play decently high quality music and have the ears to hear the difference in sound so after paring my note 4 to the same devices, the highs are very crackly and come through with ear piercing noise and the lows are mostly gone as I cannot hear the punchy bass anymore in songs. I then proceeded to turn off bluetooth then plugged in the device with an aux cable and to no surprise the sound quality increased tremendously. The bass of the song came through and the highs were perfectly clear.
I tried various songs of various quality, various music players (current is poweramp - always have had best quality music from it), but to no avail. Sound is still really bad quality. Other issues I've had is my plantronics bluetooth headset randomly transmitting white noise to my ears and to the person on the other end. This does not happen with an LG G3. And also my LG G watch tends to randomly disconnect for a minute or two when the phone is playing audio in the car over bluetooth (this doesn't change sound quality).
I've done some research about this issue and I've found some forums and people talking about the Note 3 having bad quality audio and that switching to an aosp rom fixed it since that switched the bluetooth stack from samsung to android/google. I've also seen someone noticing that the bitpool on the note 3 dropped significantly when playing music and having another device connected, however with or without my watch I still get low quality sound. So I've come to you guys. My phone is not rooted, knox counter is at 0x0 and I don't know what to do. I feel like this is a universal issue with the note 4 and the samsung bluetooth stack and am not sure how to tackle this problem. Let me know what you guys think or if you have a similar experience!

Samsung Level U Pro - BT Headphones - Wow

Picked these up on Amazon for £70, main reason was level app gives all the function and tuning sound to suit plus the two speaker per earpiece design.
Cut to the chase stunning sound. I am picky with around 10 pairs of headphones ranging from Sony, Beats to AT. Also an ex audiophile coming from full on active Naim Audio system. Reason for mentioning that was the way Naim exerts grip, control, detail and ease rarely phased.
This sums up the headphones, never experienced this sort of deep controlled taut bass on headphones coupled with a clear midrange- normally one ruins the other.
The sound level when you attach the right size buds is shockingly loud - at max phone and headset zero distortion.
Plus you get all the notifications and crap s voice. Can take calls not tried says has two microphones.
Negatives, neck surround it very hard and stiff, ear buds do not totally seal and on my set BT occasionally disconnects but worst of all an ongoing BT skip every 15 - 30 seconds.
Hope I can solve the connectivity as even my cheap mpow have zero BT issues.
All that said an awesome headset.

Update: Reset the level U and unpaired, then repaired - all sorted NO BT connectivity issues, also have my Gear S2 and Car BT connected this morning.
Wore it to work, forgot I had it on as it was just hanging on my shoulders, realised when it vibrated (notifications).
Tried a few call, very good, I prefer to use it with 1 earpiece, mic quality (has 2) seems very good to the other party.

What about battery life?

Not really timed it but on a full charge 6 days ago have had 5hrs use in the app still shows more than half.

Hi
I have the samsumg level u pro anc . In my opinion i can say the sound is not the best
is normal like any other device .The anc version sorry to say this but it's garbage and the Uhd I don't see a big difference when is on or off . I had many bluetooth headsets and i can say for my the best bt headset was the motorola s9 a real HD sound after that the s10 and s11 they didn't have a sweet sound
btw. I have stuttering too I don't know if it's the headset or the samsung s7 .
I hope samsung gives a fix for this.

Bought this unit today and paired with Axon 7 Mini and instantly hated the sound and volume level.....of course i was driving away from the store and just had to try it. I immediately put the headset on my center console in my car and left it till i finished up my other activities and didn't touch it till i got home and downloaded the Level app from the play store. Pulled up reviews on amazon,and Headfi and saw people raving about the sound quality,put my laptop down and started going through my settings on the phone players(Neutron,Poweramp beta,and built in ZTE hi res player)......then setup Samsung Level app and changed the silicone tips to a set that fit my ears perfectly and then .....DAMN ! These things DO sound amazing. The quality of the drivers is beyond what i expected and the volume is just perfect....I love to crank it up,but my ears have been damaged through playing in live bands and crazy loud car stereos,and the volume was loud but not painfully so....These are keepers and sound great with the Dolby Atmos turned on. My two cents .....great deal when you find these now for $39.99

PUBG very low audio on note 8??

Coming from an iphone 7 plus which i always had to turn its volume down whilst playing pubg. I can barely hear anything when playing full volume on my note 8. i dont want to use headphones. anyone had similar issues? and any fix? exynos version.

I've always had low audio in pubg and cannot find a way to boost it. I've tried volume boosters that do work outside of the game but not in it for some reason, the same goes for Viper. I've ended up giving up as I'm out of ideas but happy to try any new ones as it bothers me each time I go on it.

Pubg sounds somewhat low using the buit in speaker, youtube the same, but in the end, it is recommended to play pubg using headphones, to be able to pinpoint the exact direction of footsteps, if you do not use headphonew you are clearly at a disadvantage, use them

Try viper4android. Easier to hear vehicle noises and footsteps

This is typical for a device with a bottom firing speaker. I would recommend that you use a headset while playing PubG on your device.

Headphones are definitely the optimum choice however I play with a friend in the same room, he has iPhone and so can determine direction from the speakers (as there is two) but because we talk while playing which I can't have headphones in. Is there anyway to activate the microphone so that the audio from the room comes through the headset too? (I might be asking too much there )

Try this trick
after you open pubg click game tools and click record video (record like 1 second ) and then turn it off , the sound increase.:good:

Audio latency in Games

I'm facing audio latency while Playing Games. Audio is coming with little delay even on wired headset and internal speakers as well. My poco F1 is handling audio very well but realme X2 pro has audio latency. Anyone else facing the same ??

Question Low volume on mobile games

Is there a fix or workaround regarding the low volume from the dual speakers while playing games? YouTube videos are plenty loud but the overall volume while playing games is on the low side. Yes, I do have TWS earphones but I prefer not to use them while playing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
