[Q] Why does the Nexus 7 2013 have very low bass? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey, how's it going. :silly:
The Nexus 7 2013 plays music accurately and the highs sound very matured, but even with Beats with Xlouder the bass is to low.
I have tried all the mods i can find, Like viper4android that's great but the Nexus 7 still lacks hard bass, can someone help me please?
Thanks. The bass sounds low, and at time sounds like it's farting as supposed to my Ascend Y201 that runs rings around the Nexus's bass. Please help

It's really not intended to have bass, being a mobile device. Plug it into some speakers with a subwoofer.

Because tiny speakers are useless at putting out low frequencies.

i meny using headphones, it's terrible but great clarity no bass it's sad

Only thing you could do is use DSP manager and set a bass EQ.

I use a cheap and cheerful pair of senheisser ear buds, my htc one ear buds, and some cheap and chearful senheisser cans, all play music with great bass (i say great, as in great for the price paid for the headphones, but it's still plenty enough for a good d&b rave while doing the dishes)

Yeah..

The bass through the headphone jack is very poor, even with Viper and sound mod's. Comparing it to the Galaxy Nexus and it sounds a ton better. Cheap DAC probably? Wouldn't mind a developer to develop a mod that will really push the nexus 7's bass to the limit lol.

Don't use expensive high impedance headphones?
My nexus drives cheap ear buds bass retarded loud I had to eq it

Man their HD 201's, 24OHM lol

Lol at people driving big cans without amps. (Yes there is even bigger)
Try a 8ohm phone and listen how much better it sounds.
Besides 201's aren't known for their bass. Set up to 202s. Or at least properly drive them.

Used my device with my Grado SR80i's (32Ohm), Sennheiser HD-25 II (70 OHM) and with a professional concert PA system. The bass is fine on all 3 platforms. Make sure you turn off any EQs or DSPs in the phone, those are usually ****.

I can't say I use my Nexus 7 for music that much as I tend to listen via my phone, but I didn't think the sound output was particularly bad to say it is a tablet, even with a generic pair of cheap earphones. Perhaps if you want super bass and unrivalled fidelity you should consider maybe a hi-fi? Just saying...

Most probably, if you want more bass, it's unnaturally much bass anyway. Just like people who want (and are used to) totally oversaturated AMOLED displays and find accurate displays "pale"...

Compared both my N7 2013 and S4.
The S4 has better quality on the same HiFi earphone (SM E10s).
But still N7 2013 delivers good sound though

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment
Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.
what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.
monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.

Quality head phones

I am wondering whether its worth purchasing an expensive night quality pair of head phones for my new galaxy note?
I'm sure the sound driver on this unit is a Yamaha produce and its very poor and wouldn't produce high enough quality for top spec head phones anyway.
am I correct? I would like to hear your views!

I tested some earphones on my dad's Galaxy Note. (UE triple fi 10 and Super.Fi 4vi)
For mp3 format songs, a middle class earphone is okay...
In my opinion, HTC machines have better sound quailty
You can achieve a reasonable quality with the Note. Definitely not on par with other audio sources but this is what I do. Rip music at 320 bit rate.
Headphones. Try and make sure the ohms is under 32. Most portable are, but 16 ohms is better for the Note as it doesn't go naturally as loud as I would like. Then look at the sound pressure level. You preferably need a score of over 108db.
The top end sennheiser IE8 have incredible measurements. And consequently go loud and dynamic and punchy bass with ease. But they are very expensive.
I don't think the Note needs expensive cans, but don't buy inefficient headphones. They won't go loud and will lack dynamics.
I've got some mid range sennheiser in ears, and I'm extremely happy with the quality.

I fully admit, although I love music, I certainly wouldn't class myself as an audiophile, and may well have damaged my ears through the years, so they might well sound crap. For me they're fantastic

I use the Senn HD215 closed back units and find them pretty good from the Note for mp3 bitrates above 192kbps.
i have the creative x-fi headphones. the x-fi crystalliser improves the audio quality enough for me to be happy enough with it. it doesnt compare to the surround sound system i have in my room, but its good enough.

Neutron MP
Instead of rushing out to buy headphones, I would suggest upgrading the music player to Neutron MP, first.
The UI is not very good, but the sound quality is fantastic! Volume is increased to a point that will hurt your ears, if you want. I have compared it side by side on my Note and previously, on my Dell Streak 5. Neutron MP wins every time. The difference in sound quality is quite noticeable.
Finally, Dmitry, the developer, is very knowledgeable, extremely responsive to his forum or emails, and is constantly updating and improving an already great product. He has a SGSII which is very similar to our Note so he is developing directly for us!

Depends on what kind of music you listen... Beats are a piece of crap for the price. I use a pair of Westone 4R, and even though I have an ipod video which is better for music than the note, the note is good enough, specially with playerpro.
The Monster Turbine are better than the Beats, for a similar price and same manufacturer. Otherwise, you can check Shure 840 for a full size can and medium prized or the ATH M50 for the best bang for the buck headphone out there.

Remember, all you need is
I got 2 headphones.
Sennheiser M550 (Bluetooth)
Sennheiser HD650
I have a pair of JH16 Pros from JH Audio for reference listening, and a pair of Shure SE530s for everything else.
The Yamaha DAC in all current Galaxy phones is garbage, so you might as well get a cheaper set if you'll only be using them with your Note.
I installed DSPManager and bought a pair of noise cancellation headphones from AblePlanet;

How's the original Samsung headphones provided in the package? Good or bad?

Hey guys.
I want to know your opinion on this...
What do you think of the stereo headphones with mic that are included in the Galaxy Note package? My Galaxy Note is black, yet it came with white headphones... guess that's what everyone gets. Although, I saw original Note headphones that are BLACK on the internet... Oh well...
At first, I thought they'd be rocking, since I previously owned a Galaxy Nexus and let me tell you, the headphones that came with it were better than the pair of A4Tech MK-650 I have been using. I wasn't expecting Samsung to have taken such an ugly turn and make the headphones so bad for the Note! They did it perfectly for the Nexus, and now I think I know the reason : it was Nexus, Google thing... with standards...
Of course, when I sold my Nexus, I gave the headphones with it... Didn't think the ones for the Note will be this crappy!
1. They don't stay in my ear properly. Even tried the larger rubber "plugs", even the ones from A4Tech... It's about the headphone's construction itself : it's made not to fit perfectly over your ear...
2. Quality sucks. I can't listen to music with these. At least not drum & base .
So, how are you feeling about your headphones? Maybe I got a bad pair... or maybe that's just the way they are, crappy (I go for that one)...
Also, if just by chance you are using or have used a pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones on the Note and worked... I'd like to know . I'm ready to pay 10 extra bucks for a new pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones, just so they don't fall off from my ear when I'm talking to somebody...

I tried two pairs of Dr. Dre (not the same, one was Stereo one was Mono or something, looked pretty much alike, but were different) at a showroom a few weeks ago... They were the kind of headphones that you put over your head, and they rest on your head, you know... The big kind of headphones. Oh well...
They sounded nice... but when I activated Bass Enhancement in Music Player, they started to buzz and crack and buff and prr... lol.
So... Beats by Dr. Dre... excellent at bass... nope.avi. My A4Tech MK-610 I'm using right now are better .

It's funny. Everyone's saying that the iPhone/iPod headphones rock. I tried them... they're meh. I mean, I got used to in-ear headphones... all other headphones that are normal, not in-ear (like the iPhone ones, for example)... I feel like they're hurting my ear, lol.
The sound quality was pretty nice... although not as crisp as with the in-ears I'm using (naturally).
I'm planning to buy a pair of those headphones for my girlfriend, actually. She doesn't like in-ears. Also, those iPhone headphones have a mic, and it worked with every Android device I tried, so...
Her pair of original HTC headphones got... f***ed up. Left headphone leaks current, rofl.
In my opinion...all the headphones I got with Samsung devices SUCKED...
Extremely poor sound, uncontrolled, random bass boosts and drops... They're definitely not for the audiophile, but more for the conversationalist, who wants to clearly hear the person on the end of the line when...say...driving or walking down the street.
The ultimate sound I was able to get out of my Note was through Sennheiser CX 400 in-ear headphones, along with Power Amp (and a few tweaks there). I'm betting it's even better with something like Sennheiser IE8's, but those are pretty pricey :laugh:

Scribbled from my Note coupled with the best (CleaNote) ROM and (NoteCore) kernel by g.lewarne
My headphones broke so I was forced to jar these before I brought some more.
At first I was cringing at how poor they were, especially as the stock ROM output such poor quality sound.
I forced myself to listen to them and can confirm that they burn in an incredible amount, its like they are a different pair of earphones. The highs are tighter and the mid range has improved a lot. The bass is ok if you get a good fit, and I found if you get some good eq setting on power amp it does a world of good.
IM at the stage now whether I think I need new headphones, I listened to some burned in audio technica m50s and they didn't have the pronounced treble these have, although the bass was tighter.
I've owned shure and klipsch earphones before and although they're not as good as the shures, they're probably not far off the klipsch right now.
The added bonus of a built in Mic and controls is also really useful

I was so offended that they were white. My SGS2 stock headphones were black. I had to buy a black headphones just so no one would confuse me from having an iPhone from a far. Apple can suck my Note.
IMO, any and all stock headphones people get are an excuse by the manufacturer for throwing something in. The regular person might say otherwise (that is, if they're not serious about their audio, i'd be more than happy to agree with them) but to these tin ears, they suck a**. Whatever I get gets thrown in an old shoe box with 10-odd pieces and counting. They never get used. Ever. I use my AT CK100 on my note, jh16 on my sansa clip+pico slim, and full-size RS1is on a rockboxed iPod5g.

i like the one with good sound quality, good bass, very cheap, decent looking.
Was considering the Shure pro series, but my student loans said otherwise... ended up getting the ZAGG smartbudds from the people that make Invisible Shield screen protectors. The sound quality is fantastic, the buds stay in my ears, the weird 'hanging tight' cord config actually is fantastic. Best part, got them on Amazon for £25. Bargain.

If you value sound and isolation, I'd recommend even the cheapest of IEMs from westone or JHA over any earbud or earphone. There are some even cheaper IEMs from smaller companies that have gotten very good reviews on head-fi.
When I don't want wires, I use a Motorola SF600 w/Comply tips.
Awesome bluetooth earphones that support Apt-X. With the comply tips they have thundering bass and clear mids/highs that rival some mid tier and more expensive wired earphones I've tried such as my Phonak PFE122, Phiaton MS 400, and V-Moda Crossfade LP. Bass is so strong I actually have to put low freqs into the negatives in the EQ to balance it out, after which they sound incredible considering I've never thought any BT earphone/headphones sounded good.
As far as headphones, the only one I've tried and kept that could compare to the 2 IEMs listed above in terms of sound and isolation is my Beyer Dynamics DT1350, although the new Sennheiser Amperior has gotten my attention lately and costs about the same as the DT. Supposedly slightly better comfort and sound, so may try it later on.
not really a fan of the in ear types, skullcandy hesh 2
I workout a lot and love the Bose in-ears. They stay put and sound great. Not too expensive either.

Shure SE425, it works well with the sound signature of the galaxy s3.

Sony XBA-1's, they've been amazing so far, sound clarity is amazing and the bass is quite clear and not muddy.

I use Jaybird Freedom JF3 Bluetooth headphones. not an audiophile so can't really comment on how good they are but they don't move at all when i'm wearing them and sound pretty good to me.

I dont know a thing about sound quality but can you profit from the wolfsen dac module with in ear headphones ? Or doesnt it work this way ?
Also are the bose ie2 any good?
