When I am listening to Pandora with headphones I can usually hear a weird popping noise. It almost sounds like the speakers are going to pop or something. I really only notice it in Pandora and not while listening to mp3s. I have tried a cooked pairs of headphones and while neither pair is incredibly expensive I can hear it in both.
Any ideas, maybe something to so with Pandora itself?

I manage a tire shop and we have one of those apple type dock stereos that plays cds and AM/FM. We all have smart phones and take turns streaming pandora or slacker. Of course when four of my employees that have iphones stream thiers is pretty loud. My two other guys have evos and they very weak. When I stream it's loud but not as loud as the iphones or the AM/FM stereo for that matter. When I had my Vibrant with Voodoo sound it was louder than anything, so loud that they would all ask me how do you do that?
Do you guys know of any apps that would make my output through my 3.5mm jack get any louder? DSP manger does not seem to work, neither did have beats or xloud. Please advise....
Volume+, perhaps?
Try that one!
Yup that did it. Thanks!

I got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I've noticed that there are fairly noticeable hissing and static-y noises in the background when I use the headphones either when playing music or making phone calls. I tried different headphones, from cheap headphones to expensive in-ear-monitors, but the same thing persists. I wonder if any of you guys have similar issues. Thanks!
Ok to start I hate the way Bluetooth headsets look sticking out of the side of someone's ear especially those with the damn blinking light on it. What makes it worse is when people walk around seemingly talking to themselves for all the world to hear. With that said, I don't want a headset for phone calls. I want one for music.
I'd prefer not a standard headphones unit with 2 ear buds, I only want one ear so that I can still perfectly hear what's going around me.
Do normal headsets that are designed for taking calls with work for playing music as well? I'm not terribly concerned with sound quality, I just want something discrete and functional. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be most helpful as I'm a bit lost on this one. Thanks!

I was looking for something similar about two months ago, and then I came across the Motorola Elite Sliver through a deal site for $50.
I use my all day while I'm at work or at client's sites. I can listen to iHeartRadio or music on my Nexus in one ear, and still listen to everything else using my other ear. A single charge will last you 4-5 hours, but it requires the case to charge. But the cool thing is the case has a battery which charges while it's plugged in, so if you're on the go and need to charge your Elite Sliver, just pop it into the case and it will charge - no need to plug it into an outlet.
Really happy with it and it lets me listen to the radio or music while still keeping an ear open for the world around me
I think those earphones you are using are mono. Therfor the quality of the sound isnt that good is it?

Not in front of my computer to check the specs, but honestly, I think it sounds pretty good for being a one ear piece headset. Like I said, I use it all day to listen to the radio and music, and still have the ability to listen to the people and environment around me.

Ah, ok. I think mine are sh*t. I have two mono Bluetooth earphones and both sound bad when listening to music. But im using them to speak to my friends on ps3.

Surprized at quality of sound
I was sent a Jawbone Era to provide feedback on a new style of rubber ear bud.
I have never really that much into bluetooth before.
Anyway I do use the Era to listen to music when I don't want to use a pair of wired ear buds.
Battery lasts 5.5 hours and is charged via a standard micro USB.
yes they do

Not sure about using headsets for making calls for music - seems like the quality wouldn't be that good. If you just use the headphones with 2 ears buds you could still take one out and listen to music and make a call. Problem solved? :fingers-crossed:

Ok, has anybody else noticed the poor sound quality when you playback music on your headset? There's a hiss and you sometimes here sounds break up. I noticed this last night while I was playing music. I didn't expect this on a premium device. Really disappointed, anybody know if this has been mentioned or is waiting to be fixed?
I don't have that issue but I use Google Music.

Doesnt appear that anyone in the audio review thread are running i to this issue, may be a faulty unit worth getting fixed, or atleast try the audio on a store unit with your headphones and see how that goes.
I was listening on the earbuds it came with earlier and didn't notice anything when using Spotify. Just now used it with my Audio Technica ATH-M50s and still no hissing or breaking up with Spotify. Spotify and Google Music is all I use and I stream all of my music. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Same as me. I just stream all my music with Spotify. No problems here, audio is fantastic and crisp.
Sorry to hear you're having issues.

Purexaudio works on ARHD Rom, and makes my Westones worth the bucks spent. Greatly improved the audio without BoomSound enabled.
You can find it on the one x thread.

I think I've found the problem, it happens on low volume, turn Boomsound off when you're listening to music at low levels, i.e. at sleeping time.
Heya, sorry if my question is a bit irrelevant to the audio quality of the phone, but do the audio volume controls on your headphones work on the m8?
I've tried using my apple earbuds controls on my M7, and only the play/pause button works...nothing more. Did they change that for the m8?
Thanks.

Could be that it's incompatible to iPhone controls. I've not used them.

I've used the earphones that came with the samsung galaxy note 2 (since my brother has them) on the M7, and its not working as well.
Why would HTC do such a thing
My handset speakers sound great but I notice that when I plug my auxiliary cord in the headphone jack of my phone to input to my car stereo - it sounds terrible, all distorted and stuff. I have the same 320kbps mp3 file on my mp3 player also on my SD card of my phone so I know the file is good. I also have a high quality aux cord so I K own it's not that either. When I play the same song from my mp3 player w/my aux cord to my car stereo rather than my phone w/my aux cord to my car stereo, it sounds great. Phone output via aux cable sounds like crap. Is this cuz of boom sound and if so, how do I shut it off?

You can shut off boomsound in settings when the aux cord is connected, I also find that visualizer increases distortions when playing certain files so try not to have the music player on visualizer when playing through the headphone jack.
When music isn't playing there is a very noticeable hiss from the headphones. Anybody else have this issue or was I just super unlucky and got to spend $100 on headphones that annoy me on a daily basis? They sound fine when playing music because the music covers it up. But as soon as the music ends I get to hear them hiss.
Absolutely no hissing going on with my V2. Using Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, and Poweramp.

Thanks for the feedback!!!! I'm going to try to get them exchanged.
Yes I hear random hissing when music is not playing. It is not constant, just random.
My replacement buds have the same hissing issue. I think I'm just going to have to try a different brand. It's a shame because everything about them is great.
