frnds how i know a sound quality of any head phone
i want to purchase new headphone for my sgs2... n i m confused ...what to buy ..
help
Thanks
There is no proper way of finding the sound quality of a headphone. Headphones may sound different on different devices.
You will have to try it yourself and find out which one suits your ear.
I personally like the In ear headphones, it gives better isolation.
I would recommend sennheiser in ear headphones..
Putting them in your ears is normally a good start ...
Frnds
which one is best for the on the ear.
thanks for ur reply

depends how much do you want to spend.
and depends how much your ears are sensitive and trained.
I'm a hifi follower from 30 ears and for my taste the samsung one are unlistenable... but for some friend of mine they sound good.

I think you should try googling for headphone reviews.
I don't think there are headphones specifically good for the S2.
A good headphone is a good headphone.
Brandwise I would go for Sennheiser.
Call n loudspeaker quality on XZ is terrible coz of waterproofing .... Hope this is not the case with ZL... Anybody can confirm?
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using xda app-developers app
The ZL will not be waterproof anyway so I do not expect loudspeaker quality to be poor so this phone should not be put into water. I read somewhere it is possibly that water could actually get through to speakers in front at the top so may be this is the reason when putting the Xperia Z smartphone into the water.
Xperia ZL Loudspeaker
I do hope the loudspeaker is louder and more clear than the XZ. Can't seem to find any good in-depth review for the ZL yet

The Speaker is great.
Very loud and clear.
I have no Z to compare it with the ZL but I could not find any issues regarding the speaker...

Awesome ZL and Z just released in my country today Can't wait to try the ZL out at the nearby XPERIA showroom !!! :victory:
I´m thinking about upgrading my Senheiser CX300-II since i cannot find the proper sound when plugin them to my ZL, sad as it is the ZL sounds worst than the Xperia ARC due to different DAC they use (Qualcomm).
It´s quite an annoying issue for me, i even thought about moving to another brand or downgrading to my old ARC pal.
Wanna give the ZL a proper chance, i have a modest set of speakers, Altec Lansing, and they produce a real good sound out of the ZL, so something can be done.
I´m looking into better earphones, in the range of 80-120 €, however i have a friend telling me, begging me, to buy the Shure SE425 set, worth 200€, he says i wil discover a new life in terms of sound quality.
If they are that good i might think about it, they are a bit expensive but...
So guys, what do you have to say about this?. can u recommend a gud but not very expensive set of earphones?, don´t need them to have mic or control volume by the way.
I use Klipsch Image X10i with mine, and I swear by it - most balanced & crisp in-ear I ever used (and I tried quite a few, etymotic, UE, etc). I believe its most wide range single-driver headset (I can't really stand multi-driver ones, since they hide fine detail in sound).
It also perfectly works as a headset (with only obvious exclusion of dedicated volume buttons).
I tried it out with a few cans: the Sony MDR-XB600 (for electronic and bassier music) and the Audio Technica ATH-AD900 (for everything else--especially awesome with cellos and violins). Sometimes I go with an amp (Fiio E06 and Fiio E07K) to bring more bass to the ADs.
I think they all sound really good. You just have to be sure that you feed it appropriately. A bad source will never sound good.

Knowing the facts, i mean the DAC...
Do you consider the ZL a good source?
Can a gud seat of earphones get a really nice sound out of it?
Tapatalk+Xperia ZL
Sorry--when I said "source" I was talking about the files. If you stream YouTube all day and play at the low quality levels, it'll reflect in the sound. However, if you play higher quality streams or uncompressed music files--the ZL can deliver a fairly full and rich sound. Granted, it's no Wolfson, but the Qualcomm chip they use is still better than the crappy Qualcomm one coming out of the Samsung Galaxy SII set.
Depending on the application you use, you can play with the EQ (I know the Music app, which I use, has an EQ) so you can flatten the sound, or add highs or lows.
I use poweramp player and sound is pretty good even with the headphones provided.. I thought Walkman was good but then I tried poweramp and it did improved the hell out... Besides a good setting on equalizer does the difference for sure... I use poweramp with headphones and Walkman for speaker...

Which headphones u got with the Xperia ZL?
I bought it from Amazon.de and they packed a really bad set worth 10€
I´m thinking about going for the Sony MDR-7550, worth around 135 €
Those Klipsch Image X10I, i can find them around 180 €, are they that good?

I think worth every penny.
I got them for trial, I would've returned them if they were even a bit unsatisfactory, but sound quality totally blew me away, they were as awesome in detail resolution as single-driver Etymotics, but with tons more bass. You need to choose a proper eartips to get a good seal though, this very important with IEMs as such.
try ultimate ears
Have tried it's of ear phones and found this gem, budget, but a good upgrade from stock earphones. Very balance sound.

Not sure what do you mean by "cleaning"? On ZL I hear no much noise if you mean this. At least not more than I had on Galaxy S 2. I think ZL audio out quality is pretty decent.

It´s always difficult to describe sound.
The ZL sounds kind of dirty, distorted when the volume is up, didn´t find the right EQ balance yet, i remember Xperia ARC, with same earphones i use for ZL, was very easy in the sense, clean sound, heavy, clear bass, superior sound quality definitely, perhaps the best sounding smartphone i can recall (used Galaxy Note, Galaxy 3, Galaxy Mini, Xperia ARC, Iphone4 and now ZL).
Galaxy 2 was perhaps the worst sounding Galaxy S smartphone, they used a pretty raw Yamaha DAC, now they are back to Wolfson.
I love the ZL but i´m finding pretty difficult to get a quality sound out of it, that´s why i´m thinking about buying these kind of quality earphones.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "dirty", and I hear no distortion and it plays music well.
I don't use EQ because I want to hear music how it was intended, and that's why I bought expensive IEMs, because they are very flat & balanced. They really bring up any imperfection in sound output, but I have no big problems with my ZL.
Btw on SGS2 any kind of postprocessing significantly lowered SNR and made noise significantly more audible, don't know why.

That´s why describing sound is so difficult, every person feels the sound different.
I think i´m gonna give those earphones u mention a try, will buy at Amazon, if i´m not happy i can always return them.
How do you listen music with Z? do you use Walkman?, some other app?

Walkman was alright, but it has no ReplayGain support. So I am currently trialling alternatives. Haven't decided 100% yet, but PowerAmp looks the best.
For those (like me) who don't want to spend too much on earphones, Klipsch (once again) Image S4 are really really good for the price. I love the sound it provides. It's warm and full of dynamic. Really loving them...

So u´ve been using them with Z, happy?
I had these 2 in mind to start with:
Share SE102, around 60€
Klipsch Image S4, around 60€
Getting both and returning the worst one, and them if i´m not satisfied i´ll move to the next level, 100-150 €, until i find the right ones.
Yes, the S4s. On X ZL for me. Truly enjoying the sound they provide !
Try looking for a Sony MH1C. It does sound like a $200 IEM for its $50 price and it comes with all the controls and Smartkey. You must think twice before getting a Shure since you're coming off a CX300-II which is a lot different.

What is the main difference between the Shure and the CX300-II?, i heard the Shure produce a clear sound, with less bass than the CX300-II.
How will u compare the MH1C with the CX300-II?
