Hi! I realize this is a small concern for many - but what is the quality of the headphone jack/amp, esp. with higher impedance headphones? The A1 had a beefy amp which could push beefier headphones, but I wonder if Xiaomi kept it for the A2L.
I remember when Mi A1 was launched that the audio output quality was highlighted. The same thing isn't happening with this phone, so I think the amp is not as good as the previous.
But I could be wrong.
I'm using it with a very low impedance headphone, and I do get a bit more noise/hiss than with my previous phone (Oneplus 3). I was able to improve the quality quite a bit through installing Viper4Android though. Just install it through Magisk (Viper4Android FX Materialized v1.7 2.5.0.5.). Works straight away.

Hiss was a problem with the A1 too, precisely because of the amp, when paired with low-impedance phones.
Well, I guess I will have to wait for the phonearena review...

I should add though that I'm using modified Etymotic ER-4P's. They are already pretty treble rich out of the box with a 27 ohm impedance, but I've changed the cords so that the actual impedance is probably closer to 10 now. I like them this way, but they aren't very forgiving and reveal anything..
For those who can understand those numbers:

GSM Arena has a nice explanation of those values somewhere in their website. The A2 does well.

but if u want a cool sound and an relaxing one you have to use them without beats activated..and using another player that has EQU and using it you can put select different profiles(bass, low bass, bass and treble, rock etc)
I'm using Poweramp and ...poweramd kills "beats" at quality...
Just to know if u buy this headset .
you must use fake ones? my homie got one pair and with beats audio they sound FANTASTIC!! i was thinking about buying them as "portable" music playback because i usually only use over ear

use something LIKE sennhaiser or candy skull and after tell me about the Earpods ..how they are compared to what i've just told u.
u dont know about akg? i don´t think that you have much knowledge about headphones and stuff :good:
there are alot of good headsets..I just talked about the one that I've buyed..and they are not cheap ones...
i;ve buyed the iphone 5 ones now because i love the shape ..simply briliant..u dont feel them.
i've managed to make some changes to poweramp settings and now the sound is really good.
ttt
alot of good headsets.thanks, that my dream .........:silly:
Turning it on means better quality and effects.Dont mind it
This is a review of a pair of bluetooth earphones from Pacuwi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FN925M (Coupon: PAZPHSYF)
In the past I've reviewed many different bluetooth earphones in many different price ranges, such as the Axigio Sprint to MPow Swift. Recently a company named Pacuwi reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their affordable offerings in the bluetooth earphone market. Let's have a look at the actual product, shall we?
So first of all, when it comes to the actual packaging of the product I'm rather pleased to say the least, as the packaging itself offer a nice unboxing experience and it's made out of a kind cardboard that looks really nice. One of thing the packaging lacks is information about the product, but other than that it's very nice. Inside of the packaging there's a manual, a USB-cable, carrying bag for the earphones and the earphones themselves.
The earphones themselves are made out of kind of glossy plastic and can be ordered in multiple different colours, but it doesn't look or feel very premium. At the side of one of the earphones there's a MicroUSB cable, and also there's a multifunction button and volume buttons on them. The earphones connect to eachother with a cable that you put behind your neck, which works really nicely I must say. So when it comes to the audio quality, they sound better than I expected when I first removed them from the packaging. They have nice audio quality in general, but the bass is a bit too strong for my taste and there's a bit of a lack of details - which is very common on sub <$30 earphones and I can't really complain. The audio is free from noise that are often seen in cheaper earphones, and these really exceeded my expectations.
So conclusion; these earphones are very good if you're on a budget and I really like them due to the low price, and the fact that they bring lots of features to the table. They're also one of the cheapest pair of bluetooth earphones on the market, which makes these an ideal choice if you're on a budget.
Note that the item was provided to me in exchange of my review, but that doesn't affect my review whatsoever.

Unboxing
The Speaker comes with a mini package, solid-made with plastic, and basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x User Manual, and the Speaker (of course).
This Bluetooth Speaker is so compact that it fits in my hand without any issue, extremely portable.
Its Chassis is fully made with Aluminum, just the lower side is made of plastic required to fit the Microphone and the Camera/Power Button.
It can be charged with a Micro-USB Cable just like a Smartphone and the USB Port is placed on the back.
Sound Quality
As regards the sound quality it is pretty good and super-loud. The sound is clear, doesn't lack low-frequencies and considering the size of the speaker it is definitely a pretty good one.
Conclusions
Well i admit that a Bluetooth Speaker isn't so easy to review because the tests that can be made except Sound Quality ones are not so interesting, so if you find this review a bit incomplete just let me know and i will try to reply you in the best way possible.
This is a good-quality Speaker, featuring also an useful Camera Button (remote shutter) that can be pretty useful when you need to take some photos without handling the device.
So...do I recommend it? If you need a portable speaker that provides good sound quality, then this is a good choice.
Pros:
- Portable
- Good Sound Quality
- High Volume
Cons:
- A bit heavy
Rating: 8.7

Good purchase. Ill get one soon
Hi,
I know the MTCE are not known for their sound quality but anybody have distortion on RCA level out? Even set the gain at the amplifier to minimum I get distortion when the volume slider goes higher than 20.
Why is that? I also feel like frequency response sucks on the RCA.
Is speaker level better from your experience?
Will a line driver help in this case?
Thank you for your time!
Laurent
Maybe your rca s are like mine and have a groundloop.
If your amp has highlevel input, id try using them
Had the same issue. Went with a AudioSource Matrix Line driver that definitely helped a lot in Sound Quality. Not where I wanted, after the line driver there was still a little noise so I got noise filters and gone (ground loop isolators are the same thing). Noise was gone but sound was not there completely. So I went with a JBL DSP. night and day. So clean coming from a crappy Android Unit. lol. I dont care what anyone says. these android units are the best way to go. Just need to beef them up at the outputs to get them sounding amazing.
What do you mean by a "JBL DSP"? Is it a JBL Amp with DSP capabilities or just a straight DSP? Are you still using the RCA line-level outputs or did you end up using the speaker-level outputs?
Thanks.

Stand alone DSP.. I went with Audio Control Matrix to JBL Stand alone DSP. I used the RCA's but some noise filter on my single input to the line driver and then used the line driver to convert the signal since my line driver is also an EQ.. One (front) input and pushes my three outputs (Front, Rear and Sub). Sounds great but I recommend doing all three inputs and outputs. It boosts sound quality. I am waiting another set of interconnects to change from single input to three inputs.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I gave up completely on my Eonon-branded Android 8 MTCE unit. Between the noise-related issues and the overall sound quality, I just wasn't happy with it. The WinCE unit I was coming from (Dynavin N7) just sounds *considerably* better, even when using the same external Kicker auto-tuning DSP amp and all of the same wiring in the car. So I've re-installed the WinCE unit and will use the Eonon for another project (creating a portable wooden "boombox" with the Eonon as the main "control center" and some component speakers I had laying around. Should make a nice portable do-it-all, touchscreen Android "media center".

I recently purchased a Hizpo Android headunit with 9.0 it has 4gb of RAM and 64 internal storage. Anyway my question is, I noticed that the mp3's audio seems to sound alot better than just the FM Tuner. The FM audio sounds really weak. Is there any adjustments I can make to the settings or is that just the way it is. I have a 10 inch kicker Sub that is self amplified and sounds good on the mp3's but on the Tuner it is almost non existent. I don't have the external remote gain for the Sub, but is that what I need to get the sound closer to where the mp3's sound? The unit is installed in a 2007 Ford supercrew cab truck.

Hi,
I have looked on amazon.ca and wasn't sure which of the several units were what you were recommending.
There was a Mr Ho product with many positive reviews. here is a link;
https://www.amazon.ca/Mr-Ho-Antenna...ar+radio+signal+booster&qid=1605705299&sr=8-9
Can you share details on the product you recommended ?
Perhaps a web link or product name etc.
Thanks From Nova Scotia,
I've seen this.

I used to have a cheap unit that I got from Ebay. It worked well enough to watch live TV through using PDA net. Great for long drives. My boss and I watched a Monday night game when we had to make a five hour drive. Be careful though. My TV service was noticeably lower than the MP3 volume and equalizer effect. I had to get a get an app to fix the issue. This was on an Android 4.2 and it was five years ago. I do know that they have apk's that balance the sound. Another option is to look at the code. Its not too difficult to figure out. This morning I found the one on my phone that sets the Bluetooth volume way low when it is channeled through a speaker. It was in the ".etc" file. Coders usually do a fair job at labeling each section. It was easy to see that the headphone, call, and hearing aid were all set with maximum values of 4800 with steps for each volume reference at double the speaker that was set at 2800. Careful with this though. If you're driving the sound through an amplifier, as I think you are and should with 10" subs, then you stand a chance of burning up the amp and/or blowing the speakers if you put too much out from the head unit pre-amp. Its better to adjust the MP3 down rather than the FM up.
