Does any body else find that the Audio quality is very low? or is it just me?
it's definitely just you.
the phone can drive my AIAIA TMA-1 headphones almost as well as my Hi-MD MiniDisc recorder. these headphones have 40mm drivers, so they're not measly headphones.

I googled it and, those are expensive headsets. I wanted to know how, the sound is with the stock headsets that come with the phone? if you've tried them. I also heard that the new music player has a EQ now, is that true?

Just tried em with the stock earphones provided and even they are louder than my Beats Solo's Hmmm... And yes you are correct the new music app does come with EQ its quite good too
I meant the audio from the actual speaker its self any ways and not ear phones
Edit...
Come to the conclusion that its the audio cable, because it doesn't fit flush.

Thanks, I like my music and, that's one of the things I wanted to know about. It seems to be the least thing with most reviews because, they hardly ever mention it.

I've tried the stock headset (which is exactly the same as the headset that comes with the Nexus S) and the stock headset is alright. Better than Apple earbuds, but not earth shattering. If you're half-way serious about music then you are more likely to use your own earphones/headphones anyway

ahhh in that case then, yes the built in loudspeaker is very quiet. Much quieter than the Nexus S.

I'm using Klipsch S4A with comply tips. They sound great with the nexus s. My GN should be here Wednesday, looking forward to seeing how TI compares to the Wolfson.

Really??? That's the only thing I hate on my Nexus S 4G - Low volume speaker, sometimes I dont even hear when my phone rings, or barely hear another person when using speakerphone..
Wasn't the case with Epic 4G (Sprint's Galaxy S), it was very loud.
I've tried Voodoo sound but it only helps headphones audio.
I was really hoping Galaxy Nexus would improve in that...

Yeah, I do have my own headphones but, I figured if it sounds good with the stock ones, it will really sound good with mine.
volume through earphones i find is quite good! Just the external volume for ring/sms tones is heaps low!!!

I use custom ringtones from an app called zedge, they're really great. If you download a certain ringtone or message notifier it can be louder.
I'm missing calls like crazy because of the low speaker volume output. I can't hear the text or email notifications either.
I'm not sure why they used such a low volume speaker on this unit. That's one thing that Motorola has always gotten right... a very loud speaker.
Oh well...

soon enough I'm guessing the regulars will have a kernel with audio boost. Just like for the nexus one. Just food for thought.
I'm not worried about it. Nexus one had the same threads going on at the time.

It may well be possible via an update - my HTC desire HD was woefully low.. Very quite from the speaker.. After an update a few months ago I noticed a significant improvement!
Wow. I thought my GN was faulty. Setting such a low speaker volume is criminal
I can attest to he quality of the audio output on the device (via the headphone jack) to be pretty decent. On par with the 4S, if that says anything. They're powering my headphones well enough.
The speakerphone? Yeah, there's no denying that it isn't top-notch.

Actually my loudspeaker is par. Doesn't compete with matrix loudness though. It is very clear though and no bass. My earpiece is very clear too. It could definitely use a little boost though. Earphones with mics is very loud and clear. Same for Bluetooth.

Really? I was curious about this as well. I compared my Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S just now with the bundled headphones. My 4S feels much louder and had more base. The Nexus sounded low and didn't have "thump". There's always a slight hiss in the background too.
I can barely here anything from the external speaker.. The system volume like locking he screen or tapping on icons.. Can't hear them on full voulme also! its so faintt..
Sorry if this has been covered, but has anyone experienced a problem with not hearing a caller but them hearing you? This doesn't happen every time, but every so often when someone calls they can hear me, but I can't hear them. btw the phone is stock (I gave it to a friend and unrooted it).
thanks in advance.

Is bluetooth and headphones involved?
If so, you have to unplug your headphones for the sound to be directed to bluetooth.
Unless you have the car dock.
Stupid samsung design.
thanks but no, its just the regular headset.

Hi,
I started a thread a couple of days ago, asking whether anybody knew how good the quality of the internal speaker was on the HTC one series. My thread was closed and the moderator's comment was that any discussion on this matter would be purely speculation.
I'm sorry, but in the kindest possible way - I don't agree. In what way is such a question any less valid than one which asks questions about the camera, where we have no real workd (user) shots available?
I feel that enough people have had their hands on a demo phone for there to be a reasonable chance that someone has heard the speaker. That is all I ask and I think it's a perfectly valid question. If everything is going to be considered speculation until release day, what is the point in opening this forum before April?
I genuinely don't wish for the above to come accross as rude, but I do want to make a point.
Regards,
Craig.
Edit: removed quote, sorry...
I must agree, i want to know this also, but either way, i will get One X.

I am also interested in this.
Let's see if there is someone that really had some on-hands experience with the phone.
This is very important piece of information which is definitely going to govern my buying decision. Coming from line of touch diamond, desire and now sensation, atleast I was never happy with speaker sound output.
Are you talking about the earpiece ? This would be very interesting for me too, as bad earpiece-quality seems to be a common htc problem (e.g. HD2, sensation).
I took it to mean speaker as in playing music or putting a call onto speaker phone. However earpiece-quality information would be good also
I was very disappointed with my HTC Desires speaker when using it as a speaker phone when compared to Nokia phones or iPhone.
One other item do I remember some one saying that the beats audio enhancements don't get used during calls?

Interesting. I'm on my 3rd HTC phone (Tilt/Kaiser, Tilt2/TouchPro2, Desire Z) and I've never had an issue with the earpiece. They all sound good. But the speaker on the other hand, was okay on the TP2, and it was awful on the other 2 phones. And the poor quality speaker seemed to not affect everyone (quality control issue).
i am also interested!
want to buy this phone, want an good speaker without headphone.
I wouldn't say that I've ever been disappointed with the actual earpiece, but I find the main external speaker pretty useless for anything other than simple ringtones.
Compared to something like an iPhone, the Sensation sounds like a cheap musical birthday card. I so hope that HTC have finally made some progress in this area.

Why wouldn't you use a speaker dock or BT portable speaker if you don't want to use headphones?

In my case I frequently have situations where I'm with friends and we want to watch at a quick youtube video, look at a trailer, or play an audio file for everyone to hear. It's really just general situations where the internal speaker often isn't up to the job (IMHO). In one of my last comments I referred to the speaker in the iPhone - it's not that the iPhone has a particularly loud speaker - it is just a much more pleasing & audible sound.

I use my headphones but sometimes i use speaker in garden or bicicle trips...
I heard the speakers of the phone are also by Beats, so I'm wondering how it will sound!
But I always use my headphones to listen music though ^^
Would be grateful if someone who now has the phone could pass comment on the sound quality from the internal speaker.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I listened to a Note 2 today using my Bose QC15's though the sound quality (clarity) is way better than my Note 1, it still does not have the output volume of the Apple devices ( I have had to keep a iphone for music purposes). I'm quite disappointed. Running volume at max is just not loud enough.
It seems all Android phones have this issue. I have tired all kinds of software solutions with the GN1 but never got the sound quality or volume I desired.
Anyone with the note 2 found a solution?
Install:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m1vYmkub21lZ2FjZW50YXVyaS5TcGVha2VyQm9vc3QiXQ..
On the device start the Music player >Settings>Sound Alive>Custom>Extended>Bass to 3>Room Size to 2>Claeity to 1.
The subject line really got my attention because just last night my wife and I were talking about how loud tgis phone is. Hands down louder than any other I've ever owned. I even had to lower the volume because at max it was blaring.

I've had no issues with the volume. It causes the whole phone to vibrate due to how loud it is. Maybe you have an option ticked somewhere?

Can't you just up the volume on the Bose?

Use an external headphone amp. Fiio is great.

if your phone rooted, then increase db value of headphones via default_gain.conf /system/etc

...so, according to your logic, a phone can vibrate due to the loudness of a pair of headphones. xD
In any case, I'm wondering if this issue is related to Jellybean and all... Seems to be a common problem that is shared between various devices. 0_0.
I recommend to ditch the bose crap tbh. They're good speakers but dire headphones. Take a look at the Sennheiser HD range. I recommend the 598's or 558's if on a budget.

Once voodoo Sound finds our device, the Sound Quality will be best possible, since we have the wolfson dac! Same as i9000 (afaik).

I doubt about that. Supercurio sayed that s3 will get voodoo sound but after 3 months still no info....
Great replies!
I'll try the volume boost app. I had tried volume + amongst others but always found the sound quality degraded badly.
The suggestion regarding the fiio amp, yes for my note 1 already have a fiio e11 which is amazing and can drive any headphones but carrying a GN1 or 2 with it rubber banded to the back is simply too bulky.
Getting rid of the bose qc15? I commute 3 hours a day, and fly regularly so the noise cancellation is a god send, I've tried many alternatives but never found a better solution.
There is no doubt in my mind that the note, both 1 and 2 are the best phones out there. Way more useful and fun than an iphone, I just wish Samsung would sort out the volume level through headphones as it is the one area which I feel is compromised.

You're wrong. There has been a port for both S3 and the Note 2. S3 was by Gokhan, siyah kernel and now the Note 2 by Andrei, Perseus kernel. It's script based

Samsung have put a limit to 55db on max volume, if want louder, root and change the limit. Or use sounds apps and boost the volume.
For me its loud enough, too high volume can damage you ears in long terms listening and either I got good ears. Or peoples have damage theirs ears by iPhones volumes already.

I just wanted to post that the above mod perfectly sorted out the volume issue.
Using the 57 values has made me extremely happy with the volume levels.
Now with the volume, quality dac inside the GN2 and a good global equaliser it far exceeds the experience of my Iphone for music.

The speaker is loud, and frankly quite amazing, but the problem is with headphone volume.
I'm using Sennheiser PXC450s and WMA files are not quite loud enough for me on max volume. Most MP3 files are loud enough, in fact max volume is too much. However this is with zero ambient noise. Sound clarity is very impressive.

not to be rude but its already fuking loud as it is, if u make it any louder ur going to be deaf for goodness sakes, no wonder when I go to the movie theatre most people like me have to put ear muffs on almost cuz its so fuking loud
It really depends on what your plugging in.
That said, if the hardware is at max, I don't see there being a hack for this.
