[Q] Music [BASS] enhance ?

Hey there,
Iam looking for a mod or software to enhance music, like xloud or beats audio or megabass ported from other brands,the bass is bad in this device won't you agree? Back when i had a ZTE Blade, there were loads of these available in flashable zips ! Powermp3 or n7player dont make the real difference forget about the dolby enhancement :thumb down:
Thanks in advance :good:

I use this one myself, sounds absolute amazing with my Bose earplugs with the "rock" preset!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Mine keep running in the background, and it then auto detects when I play music from fx. Spotify

Thanks, downloading ! Lately I was using TTPod, Its quite good give it a try and could u express the difference b/w the original LG and the BOSE earbuds ??

The difference? Its the Bose MIE2, ugly like h***, but the sound and specially the bass is amazing!
And cant really tell in specs whats the difference is, but the sound experience between the original from LG and this one is HUGE!
You should really visit the local store and check 'em out

Check neutron music player. And don't forget to enable 64 bits in settings. Sound quality is audiophile when using this program.
I'm using headphones Sennheiser px-200 II.

Thank you gentlemen I think I will buy Neutron player....looking forward to other members to express their thoughts

I think u should buy new headphones instead of music player.
No problems with bass at all.
If u like mega bass, try the Beats headphones, they got nothing but only mega bass lol
BTW LG Quadbeat is absolute trash imho

Absolutely right.. i use mine with poweramp and jvc xx earbuds and the bass kicks.. and I listen to drum and bass 90% of the time.. no need for software enhancement, just get good earbuds.

Poweramp, ttpod and n7 all have their own bass enhancements, but with a system mod which i experienced in zte blade, music quality gets totally overhauled.....like something totally different and well..... the best news is, my cooompletely undamaged and cared lg earbud got tired of me and one side got busted... out of the blue, hah ! way to go for dear quadbeat ! Guess i'm compelled to buy a new pair of ear buds ....

LG Quadbeat earphones bundled with E975 are worst than ****.
Seriously no bass at all...
Phone, PC, Notebook - checked with everything and they are crap.
Just trolling, cause I'm furious with LG for it.

Audio Quality Through Headphones

What is the audio quality like through the headphone jack?
A good pair of headphones & Flac with both built in music player & Poweramp?
Is it as good as both the S5 & the M8 or is it better?
Ta

I think the quality is good. However some handsets have a problem with internal noise, i also had this issue but it kinda fixed itself after the first few days.

i use poweramp and Westone UM3x in-ears or Beyer Dynamic Custom Pro, and for sure no worse than S4 and M7 which i pre-owned, and similar to directly from my Macbook Pro, too. so i personally am very pleased with the sound...:good: and no hissing or other issues here ...

Yeah something like that. But i just read people having this issue made it go away by changing from dalvik to ART in settings. When i think about it (i also changed to ART) that was when my issue also was gone. So yeah apparently a software issue.

Fantastic. Looking forward to trying mine out.
Do you use stock or a 3rd party music player?

GSM arena ran a bunch of tests and basically found that the G3 has the highest output quality of any Android device, up against the S5, M8, Find7, and Z2. It's not the loudest, but there will be mods for that.

I changed from dalvik to art. But the noise remains in the left ear plug after reboot (checked and art is still selected). Any ideas?

Crap! I just tested again and now i also have a silent buzz when i play music. This is really not right. Also i have this beep-beep sound the moment i plug in my headphones.

Is this buzzing present when playing through Bluetooth headphones?

I can tell you that it's the best mobile I've heard. I play Spotify @320 through Shure SE846's and sure it's not the absolute top notch but it's REALLY good. Like, I don't feel the need for an external Amp/DAC.

with poweramp and withour direct volume control, without any egalzer..nothing, the sound is simply amazing.

The M8, G3, Note 3, and S5 all had pretty good sound quality with headphones imo. I really couldn't say which is the best. They all sounded pretty good and comparable to each other. I still use my ear buds from the HTC Rezound. I don't care what anyone says but those were some good headphones for a free pair.

Maybe it's just me but I find the volume to be on the low side (using Google Play Music All Access) and the sound doesn't sound warm like it did on my SGS3

Check out the mod in the developer section. You can make it plenty loud very easily (with root).

That would be EXACTLY why you can't tell any of them apart, LOL. It's like saying Blu-Ray and DVD look the exact same when you're watching them on your 13" CRT TV.
And no... the stock buds that come with a phone aren't good. They're terrible. Quite literally the only good things you can say is that they put sound in your ear and it's possible to buy worse ones at a 7/11.

Stock earphones from the HTC M7 and M8 are great for free headphones quite loud and good sound.
I have a pair of JVC extreme in earphones that I bought for £15 quid and they are loud, also have a pair of Dre Beat's Solo's and they sound good.
I'd say the stock volume for the rear facing speaker is very loud for a back firing speaker I was quite shocked at just how loud it was.
Headphone volume was on the low side though.
I used a guide in the dev thread to boost the auido volume of both speaker and headset and then used Viper4Android and WOW oh WOW.
Best sound I've had out of a phone.
I've owned alot aswell. Coming from the Nexus 5 the sound of the G3 blows it away.
I would 100% suggest rooting. Increasing the values as per the guide and getting Viper4Android installed

Sound Quality From Audio Jack

What is the quality like?
Is it a pitifully bad as the Nexus 6 was? Is it better? Is it meh? Google/Nexus phones do tend to have $hit audio.
Really hope this has changed that.
Has anyone test with Flac or WAV files?
What's the verdict?

Just tested Spotify (on Extreme quality) with my Final Audio Design Pandora VI headphones - it's pretty decent.

For a £500 + phone I'd expect more then just 'decent'.
How does it compare to the Nexus 6p?

That's probably understatement on my part. I'm very happy with it so far - it's at least as good as the S7 Edge, plus it's louder.
I've never used a Nexus 6P, so can't comment there sorry.

Fair comment.
Anyone else care to comment?

There's already a thread about audio/sound quality, please use that one.

Bluetooth Audio plays 320kbps superbly. Best sounding audio I've heard from a phone. I have yet to try the headphone jack.. . . . I have sinned....

How does it compare to the N6 P? That was horrid.

Compared to my N6 it is better sounding and gets louder on my V-MODA Crossfade LP.
Maybe some HTC input used by Nougat helps the audio.

Audio quality of Honor 8 pro ?

How is the Audio quality of Honor 8 pro via headphone jack ?
Nobody discuss it much

According to what I read on gsm arena, they said the quality isnt going to disappoint.

The quality is good, can't really compare to many other phones (not used their plug in much) but my last one, Sony Z2 (which had really good quality). I use the 8 Pro both with headphones and plugged into my car and the sound is good, proper bass and the volume goes much higher then you ever need. Also nice to have the jack on the bottom of the phone along with the speaker, because when you put it in your pocket, it will gather much less dirt when you usually put it "top first" in your pocket. This I noticed compared to my Z2

I can't really answer that question (don't know my headsets rating). My guess is that 16ohm will work just fine, isn't it a kinda standard rating?

Yes.....most of earphones are 16ohm... Am choosing between LG G6 Vs Honor 8 pro . All specs are ok for me. Just I worry about audio quality via headphone jack.
Or comparing to Sony Z2 how is it ?

Don't worry, the quality is good with headphones, i.e Spotify with, best quality sound great. I also stresm it via BT to my 200€ speaker and there is nothing to complain about there either. The sound quality is definitely not something you need to worry about.

NO quality is not good. I had better output from Lenovo K3 note. This is the only disappointing thing about this phone.
Normal user won't notice it much but there is not that kind of punch from BASS that you would expect from a phone at this price point. To its defence I put it against my LAPTOP but i can clearly remember what K3 note would sound like with same songs and on the same earphones. The dynamic range is flat, I don't know how to define it.

Haha you just compared a Media centric phone to a cheap phone. Come on man . If u saying about the amount of bass in music... Bass is not all about music...

Anyway I am going to purchase a good set of earphones and will update the review

The quality is good. Don't know how someone can call it bad (faulty phone maybe?).

NO i am not saying that bass is everything, I was just being less technical. It's average at best. And lenovo K3 note being a cheap phone have a great audio output, specially with Chinese VibeUI (2.8??) on android 5.1.

It's not bad(sorry if i said it before, i might have got carried away) but it's average. It could be possible to make it better if they provide some kind of equaliser with builtin DTS enhancement. From Review from GSMarena, i was hyped too after listing to it i was like meh...

Yes I know we are talking about Honor 8 pro and don't mind which earphones I am using cause I used this same ear phones to compare with my laptop. It's (h8p) bass is mushy(if you can figure out what mushy is) while the output from laptop was punchy(again its my interpretation), while playing the same video on YouTube. After listing to it for a while I am satisfied with it.

Well, the earphones you use also play a role. It's not that just because your laptop can drive that particular set of earphones, so even your phone will.
Also, I don't know which DAC is there in the honor 8 pro and that does has much effect on audio quality too.
Sorry if I sound offensive. ?

I know what you mean, and don't worry earphones are mi capsule so they could be easily driven by both.

I listen to music on the 8 Pro all the time and the audio quality is good. I don't use the Huawei earphones because I find them unconfortable but I suppose if you are into music you already know that there are much better earphones on the market.
The audio quality is comparable with the Sony Z Series and definitely better than the Honor 5x that I used for a few months.

GSMArena audio quality reviews are nothing actually. They are all about numbers, don't tell anything about real performance. Infact the more flat and lifeless sound a phone has, better ratings it gets in GSMArena reviews.
I think one should look for PocketNow and head fi's dedicated Audio reviews for better idea.

Sony Z series is one of the quietest and dullest around in the market when Audio via 3.5mm jack is concerned. So comparison to that shows the lack in audio quality of Honor 8 Pro.
I saw PhoneArena's review. They checked out it's output, it just 0.43 volts. For comparison, OP3T has around 0.84 volts output, OP5 has 0.97 volts, iPhone is 1 volts, Lg V20 and Axon 7 are even higher than that.

Thanks man, waiting for it.
As for GeekyRanjit, have found his opinion regarding Sound Quality wrong in the past. According to him Redmi Note 3 has average Audio Quality, but i have it and audio quality is great. Warm and fun sound, punchy/tight bass, mids are great, treble is good too(no piercing), soundstage is pretty wide, output is more than enough (gets pretty loud at 60% vol) and i have Sony Mdr XB70 in ear headphones.
One has to enable Mi Sound Enhancer from settings to get great Audio in Xiaomi phones, after that i suspect their dedicated Amp section is activated. This setting is applicable systemwide in every application.
Have seen Honor 8 review on PocketNow, and they checked it's audio properly and weren't impressed, average at best. Afaik Honor 8 Pro readings are similar in audio, so not expecting much but anyways let's see.

sound quality

Hi, I just got my phone, and it has low sound when playing media and with distortion, could it be that my unit is faulty?

Sound quality through headphone jack is good to me, its stereo speaker is fine. I had a lenovo vibe x3 which has same DAC chip as LG V10 and i think mate 20 sounds better. And louder too. But my mate 20 has yellow tint issue on half bottom display, like top is cold but bottom has warm color. How about yours?

Speaker is trash, compare to Mate 9 and Mate 10.

Can anyone tell me what sound quality is like out of the speakers. Don't mean headphone jack just the speakers themselves???
Thanks

I now have Lenovo Vibe X3 and I'm thinking about buying Huawei Mate 20 because of its screen and battery. But sound quality... Are you kidding??? Mate cannot sound better just because Lenovo Vibe X3 has a dedicated sound guts (one of the best implementations of mobile DAC and a couple of amplifiers) whereas Huawei - not. There are sound labs test which tested Huawei. And it's not a musicphone. FOR SURE...

listening in Neutron app (both phone support hires) with same headphone (Fiio F9 pro) gave me that personal opinion, yeah im not kidding when it comes to music. gsm tested same dac for different result (kirin 970 and 980 using same dac) and what make that mate 20 sound lab test result was bad for listening to music. at the time i bought mate 20, i considered note 8 exynos version also, had brought an earphone to test both and bought my first huawei in the end.

Que DAC de audio tiene el mate 20? Es "HD"?

Works in HD mode with good headphones, i dont had problem with sony WH-1000XM3 and poweramp paid and beta version, getting 96khz, 24 bit of output with codec ldac bluetooth, with cable u ll get 192khz

mate 20 speaker sound a bit poor compared to mate 10 or even mate 9 ,

Not a lil bit, really poor compare to Mate 9 and 10

Use this App it's work with me to boost the sound.

You can not boost the sound because the hardware is trash.
