Hello everyone.
Does anyone know a way to fix the awful sound quality on the Galaxy Nexus?
I already tried Volume+ but it didn't change much.
I used the voodoo kernel on the Original Galaxy S and the sound quality was a thousand times better. Does something similar exist on the Galaxy Nexus?
Use something better than 2.99 earbuds

I have very good headphones, the sound quality on the original galaxy S was much better than the sound I now get from galaxy nexus...
The native sound signature coming out from the Galaxy Nexus is pretty bad in my opinion too. It's way too bright. I would play with the equalizer a bit to get a more balanced sound. Thankfully I don't use my phone as my primary music player.

Too bright? If anything it sounds like someone wrapped my earphones in paper towel before strapping them to my head... everything above ~12khz sounds muted.
THANK GOD it doesn't sound as crappy as the Rezound I used to have. Bzzz bzzz BOOOM bzz bzzzzzz bzzz bzzz.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Voodoo sound improvements... follow supercurio on twitter for any updates... https://twitter.com/#!/supercurio he commented that he was impressed with the hardware on the GNex, just needs to get something worked up for it...
my galaxy nexus audio quality is superb, prob the best of any phone ive had. If you mean rhe volume is low, install equalizer and raise each frequency and the vokume easily doubles.
I love listening to music on this phone because of the good audio. Also some people use volume+, i like equalizer better, but both tie into the system audio api to raise volume.

Are you using the stock headset? Because that's how the stock headset sounds like... muddled. The earphones that comes with the SGS seems to be of a better audio quality if I recall correctly. However, with a decent pair of earphones (I use ER6i), sound is excellent. At least in the same level of SGS + voodoo, possibly better.
Get some sennheiser in ear headphones and it's a whole different world. I'd never ever use anything else any more. Bass is absolutely amazing, stronger bass than any over ear headphones i've used, and treble is great too.
I used to have SGS2 and tune in radio was absolutely awful, on NEXUS its super loud and with the right stations, great quality.
Nexus is much louder and better quality for sound than SGS 2.
I would recommend using power amp rather than built in music player though, as the built in music player is pants!
Double blind ABX it and tell me it sounds worse. Lots of people are more than willing to ***** and moan about how things sound only as long as they can see them, but once it's under the dropcloth, they can't seem to tell which is which...
The DAC in the GN is fine, there's nothing wrong with it. Comparing it to broken HTC devices with random pointless crap in the signal path is a little unfair.
Before this purchase, I was using a Sony Xperia X10. I loved the sound both from the phone and the included earbuds. Problem with the GS 3 is the sound is absolutely horrible. The phone sounds nice enough to be acceptable from the speakers. The moment I use any set of earbuds they sound distorted if I turn them up a little. There is very little bass response and I can't seem to tweak it to my liking. Has anyone else had this issue? I just purchased this phone and would return it if these issues aren't normal. Besides that I'm happy with the phone in terms of its hardware and call quality.

Nevermind, I seem to have resolve my problem with a better set of earbuds. No distortion and sound quality is much improved! 1 less thing to worry about

Has anyone used their Pixel / XL to record video of a live music performance or in a nightclub? I tend to film a lot of live music at concerts large and small and want to know if the audio gets very distorted or not. I currently have a Nexus 6P and it's okay but not great, have to stand fairly far from the stage to avoid distortion. My old HTC phones (M8 and M9) that had a dual microphone setup was nearly flawless in extremely loud places and I really miss that sound quality.
I'm interested in this as well. Anyone tried recording a video in a club or loud concert?
I tested my Pixel XL the other night at a blues club, standing less than 10 feet from the stage and the sound quality is very good, no distortion at all. The sound is a little bit muted in the vocals but much better than my 6P could ever do. I'm quite happy with the sound quality of the video.
Below is a link to the video i made

Hello guys,
Yesterday my Nokia 7 Plus arrived and i am overall pretty happy with it. However i am a bit disappointed that there is no 60FPS video recording and no way to unlock the bootloader yet.
Now i am thinking about switching to the One Plus 5T, but because video recording at concerts is a big point for me and my last phone, the one plus 3 had a really bad quality, i am wondering how the 5T is performing?
Yesterday i received a testvideo from a OnePlus 5 user and i must say i am not pretty happy with that kind of quality:

When the bass kicks in, mostly every other part of the song is not recognizable. Does the OnePlus 5 uses the same microphones as the 5T?
What's your opinions switching from the Nokia 7 Plus to the 5T?
Thank you in advance
nobody?
Well for me the bass definitely is clipping at concerts. Nothing you can do but using a low cut. The bass at concerts is too loud anyway but I have to say that the iPhone makes better videos and has a higher audio quality at concerts.

Yeah, the bass at most concerts is too loud, but i heard a lot of devices (huawei, samsung, iphone) which had no problem recording in heavy bass environments.
Made a testvideo yesterday with my Nokia 7 Plus and i must say the audio quality is the best i've ever heard from a phone so far.
I am wondering if the active noise cancellation of the 5T destroys the sound quality, because the one plus 3 had the same issue.
Hi All,
I just wanted to know the general consensus of people on the speaker quality during music playback. For starters, the volume output is definitely high and the vocals are crisp and clear! But I feel it lacks the bass punch and somehow the low-frequency notes do not really come out.
Also, what mode of setting have you kept you "Dolby Atmos" setting to, mine is in "Music" preset. I guess this setting also applies to speaker output doesn't it? But, I haven't observed any significant difference between any of those modes/preset , is it only me or you all think it's the same?
Is there any way we can make the speaker quality better than the current factory tuning? Let me know your feedback folks!
