I'm considering grabbing one of these devices in a couple weeks when released on Telus. I will be using it as an mp3 player a lot and would like to know how headphones sound...has anyone compared performance to other devices such as the iPhone4? Thanks for any info.
There's been related threads about this already. Search will find them easily.

Well, pretty much the only thing I would want to change is the audio. It just sounds too flat. I got a message from HTC saying that they have to comply with EU regulations. It seems like they have a volume limit and a speaker without bass functionality.

Sound through the stock earphones is average at best, i bought a decent £40 pair of earphones and now the sound is easly on par with my mates iphone.

I use my DHD with the headphones it came with and my Sony MDR-XD100 Headphones and it sounds great.
With SRS on it sounds even better than my ipod
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,
For people who have the phone, does the beats enhancer work and does it make the sound different without using the enhancer.
I am running sense 4 light on my desire a and I went into the equaliser and it told me which headphones I was using, presumably I chose studio or solo would the original buttons on the headphones work? The volume up and down?

Yes the Beats Audio enchancer really makes the sound "richer". Beats become louder and the voices crisper. I'd say it really makes a difference especially if you have some high quality headset (Sennheiser, etc).

Thanks for the reply, not sure if you have beats but if you do, do the buttons on it work the volume up and down?

Don't have the beats ears, so I can't really help you on that one.
Althou considering HTC has 51 % stock in BeatsbyDre I'm pretty sure every button works fine with HTC . (Can't confirm it thou)
I use the Beats by Dr. Dre Studios with my phone.
I must say, when I play music with the HTC Music Player, it quite sucks.
I mean, it sounds pretty well, but I miss the bass.
So I've been using PowerAMP.
Great music player, and it has a bass button, which makes the bass awesome.
Sadly the HTC One X can't handle that very easily, because when I have the bass pretty high, and the volume pretty high too, it starts pushing away the high tones with kicks (Like in hardstyle music).
I didn't had this problem with my HD2.
I also had this problem a little bit with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and had it very much with the HTC ChaCha.
It could be a hardware problem, the quality of the sound module/soundcard (Or how is it called?)
But yea, in my conclusion...
It's all about personal opinions.
The HTC Music Player does not give me the bass I really want to hear from my Beats Studios.
I got my one x from Vodafone and it came with ur beats headphones I must say the sound quality is very nice crisp and clear
I don't no why people would use anything else to play music for me the beats audio is so nice to listen to I wouldn't use anything else.

Audio is all down to personal preference, I personally don't like the sound from beats headphones compared to my shure 535's. I done a test today, same song on the one x, my Sony Walkman and the wife's iPod, all set to the best sound I could get out of them at the same volume. The Sony Walkman was by far the best, much more bass than the other 2, very little difference between 2ND and 3rd but one x just wins.
Saying that I love the one x thoroughly!

my one x came with beats ear phones (urbeats) and i think they are amazing and the beats enhancer with the head phones is a big improvement over the normal equalizers but the beats speaker on the phone is abit of a let down shame really but loving the ear phones.
Does anyone else get white noise (similar to a television) in the background when listening to the music player or YouTube etc using headphones? So far I've tried two pairs besides the stock (which didn't have this problem but maybe that's because the quality is so bad you can't notice) so I don't think it's the headphones that are the problem.

I'm experiencing there very same problem especially after listening to YouTube videos. Not really noticeable while listening to the music on high volume but after turning the video or music off I get a very disturbing noise in the headphones

It's a problem with the audio chip I think it happen on all roms I've tried.

Does this happen on every One X or just certain ones?

Im using a 300 dollar headphone (sennheiser) and i cant hear the noise ...
Maybe the problem are the headphones you used , try to use one whit better quality...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Well, I've never experienced this problem when using these headphones with any other device, and as I said I have tried two different pairs. Also $300 is a lot to pay for a set of headphones.

I get the same issue, am sure others do too. One way round it is to use a bluetooth apt-x compatible adaptor I think.....
Although if others don't get it then I would like to know too, then I will send it back for a replacement!
I don't give a flying feck how expensive the earphones you use are. There is white noise at low sounds levels due to the tegra 3's useless DAC. Delusional types wont accept this tho so brace yourself for the odd pre pubescent tantrum below:
its the headphones that comes with the phone guys. Im using the HOX headphones with PC and the same thing happens on the PC. Nothing to do with the phone itself.

Oh thanks. I'll return the bundled phones then. And my SH Cx300/2's, and my Monster Beats, and my girlfriend's JVC's then.
Like I say, delusional.
This person okini obviously didn't even read my first post.

I'm getting the same thing... I don't think it just happens with headphones though. If you listen carefully to the phones speakers while playing audio you can hear it too. It's definitely more noticeable with YouTube but it's there for all audio. Really annoying. Has anyone tried playing audio through Bluetooth and do you get the same issue?
I've recently bought an HTC One x, Finally decided to get rid of my Tmob Galaxy SII. So far its been a great phone other then the battery dying quick which really isnt a problem. My Real problem is when i play music, the speaker sounds distorted as hell. It almost sounds being in a call with really low service. My question is does anyone have this problem? Is there a fix for it maybe or do i just have a busted ass speaker?

Sound is fine for me, did you flash any mods or anything that maybe broke your speakers?
HTC one x loudspeaker isn't that loud I can confirm that, I don't know about clearness although reviewers have stated it sound tinty and when you play a song is it through loudspeaker or headphone my HTC isn't that loud compared to the s2. I haven't played songs through headphone yet. I would love a tablet or phone with iPhone 4s speakers their so loud and clear they sound like a premium should do unlike HTC one x.

How can you confirm its not loud but not know about the clearness? anyway I agree its not the loudest but it is indeed clear because it doesnt go high enough to distort sound
I'm not reffering to headphones.. the beats audio enhancement is amazing with headphones. The back speaker sounds extremely distorted no matter the volume

Aren't we all haha but maybe its ROM related..? Idk just throwing out ideas here. Nandroid and flash something new to see if that'll help at all. Try a custom kernel as well if your feelin flashy
This is the third Rom iv tried. My closest idea was it has something to do with beats audio. When I disable it I get some of the distortion taken off however the music sounds ****ty :/
