Hi!
Im very intrested in the sound volume / quality on this phone when on speaker!
Anyone can film a video of it playing music or something?
Thanks in advance!
Can't give you any videos, but I've tried the Arc, and the speaker is very impressive for such a thin device. Louder and richer sound than any other phone I've heard!

Give me a couple of hours and I'll see what I can do I can also attest that the speakers are very loud and clear though. The only other phone I've heard with this kind of speaker quality is the Toshiba Regza phone, and that's a Japan-only model.

**Edit: Fixed the first link.
Sorry for the wait! Finally got some work out of the way.
Clip 1
Clip 2
Here are 2 clips, the first clip being a comparison of 3 phones I happen to have handy, and the second clip being some music (equaliser off). Volume is at max for all devices in both clips. You might have to wait a little while for Youtube to finish processing.
For the comparison, left to right: Arc, SGS and the Toshiba Regza phone.
All 3 have pretty decent speakers, but I would put the Arc at the top and the Regza at the bottom, because despite the loudness there's noticeable distortion. It's pretty close between the Arc and the SGS though.
I chose Angry Birds over music for the comparison because all the music in my library has been re-encoded at 89db, which is a little quieter than typical MP3s (around 100db). This might explain why the 2nd clip sounds a little quiet.
I also flipped the phones over in both clips to demonstrate the effect of each phone's speaker positioning in blocking the sound. As you'll notice, the Arc sounds much better when it's not flat against the table.
You linked the same video twice ^^ Arc does sound cleaner compared to the other devices! How's the Arc's headphone jack with really good in-ears or a big headphone? I have a Sony Walkman (A805) that should get replaced with the Arc if the sound quality is high enough.
Something else, could you give me the name of that case you have around your Arc, looks very well made!

Whoops, you're right. Updated!
Unavoidably subjective but I think the Arc has slightly better S/N than the SGS, and comes across a little stronger at the high end. Not a huge difference but noticeable if you're an audiophile. I've tested it on my Westone UM2's, but I haven't had a chance to really listen, so I could be wrong!
I can't draw any worthwhile comparisons because I haven't used either a dedicated mp3 player or wired earbuds for years now.
The case is the clear TPU case made by Elecom. It probably has the best cutouts (compared to the Rayout and Buffalo cases I looked at earlier), but the finish is kind of sticky/rubbery in a bad way. Warm water with a bit of dishwashing liquid usually does the trick for TPU cases but it didn't work for this thing so I'm actually thinking of replacing it.
And Misty Silver is awesome

I still haven't really used the headphone jack that much, because I stick to bluetooth headsets these days. Convenience over sound quality for me lately
A bit of informal testing concludes that based on subjective opinion and S/N ratio, I would rank the Arc's 3.5mm jack output through my UM2's and Sony MDR-CD900ST's as follows (higher is better):
1. Hooked up to my PC with an M-Audio 2496 soundcard and through RCA to a fairly cheap BTECH BT928 amp.
2. Sony CMT-FX250 micro Hi-Fi unit.
3. Sony MZ-RH1 MD player
4. Xperia Arc / Sony NW-A1000 MP3 player (tied, they sound quite similar)
5. Galaxy S (which has great sound mind you)
6. Hooked up to my PC's default headphone jack using the onboard Realtek HD soundcard. I don't have recent drivers installed so take this ranking with a pinch of salt.
7. iPod 4G (one of the old HDD based ones)
This is based originally on LAME 320 cbr mp3s as opposed to lossless files.
Hopefully the items on the list aren't too obscure, it's just the stuff I happen to have in my apartment right now
In conclusion it's more than good enough for most, and excellent for a phone. The people that would find the Arc's sound quality non-satisfactory are likely the same ones that wouldn't consider using a phone as a music player in the first place. Or at least not without using a portable amp
I hope this gives you an idea!
Edit: Forgot to mention I used tracks with either strong vocals/acoustic guitar/heavy bass for the testing.
Edit 2: Added more items to the list.
Heh, I picked up a pair of Ortofon e-Q7's last time I visited Yodobashi Camera.
Should be nice with the Arc.
Thanks for all the good info BTW.

Nice! I'd love to know how good those things are. Not that I can afford to buy a pair right now
I don't want to spend a fortune on headphones, but would like something of reasonable quality and fit. I picked up some Senheiser HD408 headphones for $50 at futureshop. I have not opened them yet, but am going to see if I can get any good feedback on an alternative before opening them.
Please keep any suggestions below $100. There has to be some good 'bang for the buck' headsets out there.
Thanks!

I use a set of Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headphones and they work pretty well. Sound quality is good, they are really light and small, rechargeable and they are sweat proof so I can wear them when I workout (cause we all know how important it is to maintain ones figure). My only real complaint is that I have a huge melon head so the headband, which is a behind the head design, kinda pinches on the sides which after about an hour starts to kinda annoy. Other than that, which is more a personal design flaw than anything manufacturer related, I really like them. I think I paid like 60 bucks for them, so they are semi-reasonable.
JVC Flats. Walmart. Multiple colors. $15 or less.
Seriously, these are hands down the BEST headphones I have ever owned. The bass is BEAUTifUL...crystal clear sound, an unbelievable bargain for the sound quality you can get.
The earpieces are leatherish, cushy, and set nicely against my ears. If/when these ever break, they will be replaced with another pair.
My only negative comment about them?...they don't come in green.
Mk
i love my Aeriel 7's
Loud, crystal clear, booming bass. 50-60% volume is all my brain can handle on these (and I like it loud)
http://www.google.com/products/cata...TuqMM-yCsgKfwoCgCw&ved=0CGcQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers
Price range: 59-99$ use depending on which one ya like
This was a tough choice given all the different kinds of headphones and pricing all over the place. I decided that I wanted something 'mobile' so big, bulky headsets were not the answer. I am not fond of earbuds, but decided to give them a try since they would meet the portability needs.
I picked these up:
http://www.klipsch.com/image-s4-black-in-ear-headphones
It takes a while getting used to them fitting in your ear, but the sound is simply incredible! The only thing I don't like is that the male plug is not L shaped and the wiring feels a bit too flimsy.
Rob
I have Motorola so HD had them over a year and still like new. I think there is a HD 10 verson out
Check out the reviews and measurements at Headroom, headphone.com. Good recs at several price ranges

I will second the S4's. I have a pair of the S4I's, (used to have an iPhone) and you cannot beat the sound quality you get for the price. They are top notch, very comfortable, once you get the right fit, and I have 0 complaints on them.
The wiring is thin and feels flimsy but I have yet to have any issues with them. I've had them for maybe 10 months now. If you want to go more "rugged" they have the S5's which are the same thing only built to withstand more.
I keep going back to Sony's sub 20-dollar earbuds in the roll up case.
MDR-E828LP
Cheap as dirt, but astoundingly good sound.
Very open with excellent bass.
I keep trying "nicer" earbuds and keep coming back to these for the sound.
I have a set of Sony noise canceling ones that are excellent, they are available on Amazon.

Dre Beats!
I got a pair of the tour beats from www.booksuppliesplus.com. Love em. Best headphones I've ever had...and only $50...can't beat em.
V-Moda Bass Freq headphones. $12 shipped on eBay. They provide huge bass, great sound quality and block out a ton of outside noise. I've had a half dozen pairs since discovering them back in 07. Been the only thing I've used since then. Highly recommended!
I know you don't want to spend this much but when it comes to head phones you get what you pay for.
I bought a pair of Bose head phones 3 years ago for $130 and I use them everyday of my life during my job for about 4 hours. There super clear and have a very balanced bass but can be picked up greatly!
Just think about it. $50 now, then in a few months another because they were blown and so on or $130 for the next 4-5 years. Mine are in perfect condition and have no crakling even after the abuse I put them through.
Go to best buy or any place that has them on display and try them out, not the noise canceling ones though there $300! Also never buy headphones before you buy them.

I've had several pairs of these And I really like them. I'm surprised they still remain the best bang for the buck. I'd have figured something would have dethroned them by now.
I have a set of Audio Technica ATH-AD700's, but they do look pretty ridiculous. Good thing I'm too distracted by the awesome sound stage to care ^_^
Skullcandy Skullcrushers
If you like bass then these are for you they have in ear subwoofers I have a pair and love them I got them for around 40 on eBay... all of my buddies like them better than dress.... they don't sound leak so other people arnt bothered by your loud music the noise canceling is great I mow the lawn with them

Or you can do what I did, buy them for $20 at a garage sale. Brand new unopened package. I know, I got lucky.
Seriously though, the sound quality of these headphones is amazing. The other thing is that there is almost zero sound leaking. At full blast, people around you won't even notice.
If you want good feedback just check the amazon reviews. They're pretty damn fine

Not sure I am allowed to post link to exterior destination, but head-fi.org is a better place to ask and headphone.com is a good place for info, not buy though since they're price is high.
Right now I'm using the Sennheiser MX580 as open earbuds and Etymotic HF3 as in ear monitors, both have excellent clarity. Both of this brand hav3 many choices at diff price though. Beside Sennheiser and Etymotic, you should also look at AKG and Beyer Dynamic, they are all professional brands for audio productions.
If you want an earbud with lots of bass just get the Palm Pre headset which cost $2, better than most $20-30 ones you find at regular stores.

You cannot go wrong with Sennheiser gear - but I suggest Aerial7 gear personally. Either way you are going to get some quality equipment.
Aerial7 gear = http://www.aerial7.com/ -- been a user of their hardware for ten years now - I would recommend their gear to anyone looking for pure 100% win.
In my country LG v20 comes with LG pair of headphones not the B&O ones my question is are these headphones of good quality to benefit the hifi dac and if not can I have suggestions for good in ear ones

That's kind of like asking for a suggestion for good food. There are thousands of headphones/ earphones/earbuds/etc.
What is your budget?
Headphones? Over the ear? On the ear?
Earphones?
Earbuds?
Optimized for flatness or emphasized on the bass or treble?
Waterproof? Sweatproof?
Noise cancelling?
Open or Closed back?
Custom or Universal fit?
Haven't heard anything about LG having good cans or buds. Even their expensive ones. I have the JBL tones expecting they'd be decent for music. Glad I only paid $60 and my company reimbursed me for Bluetooth headset. They're terrible for music. Only use them for extended calls as the isolation is built in from the buds and they're wireless and barely not around my neck. Wish they noise cancellation, and good noise cancellation because many product have poor noise cancellation and the isolation isn't great in loud environments. I wish Wolfson still sold their digital silence wired ear buds. Those are pretty good. And who knows Jawbone's future. They're broke.
If you want good cans or buds, I recommend beyerdynamic, Shure or Sennheiser in any order. There are some other good brands but it is usually limited to the high end stuff, like >$200. There also some bargains to found with lower end stuff though build quality or some other function might be compromised. You could also look around the DIY mod scene and see what cans or buds fit your budget and get better with cheap or free modifications.
Mine just shipped. I was number 3335. Once I get them I'll do a review if someone hasn't.
Mine also shipped

The LG Quadbeat 3 AKG version that came with the V10 in certain countries weren't bad according to what I've read about them.
Not sure exactly which earphones came with yours...does it have a model or a name?
Headphones/IEMs are very subjective to the individual and can't really be recommended unless more detailed information about what type you are looking for...
What type of music, where you will be using them and price.
With IEMs, the type of earphone tips are also very important regarding fit.
There is an abundance of headphones/IEMs to choose and need to be narrowed down.

The quadbeat 3 tuned by AKG isn't bad, haven't compared it to the supplied out of the box B&O (not referring to the H3).
TBH, I haven't even used any of the IEM that comes with the phone, the only IEM i'ved used is listed in my sig.

Place a piece of electrical tape over the vents.
This will increase and tighten the sub to mid bass without any sacrifice to the mids and highs.
Easy mod to remove if it isn't your cup of tea.

Thanks, not really into extra bass, just like the music naturally, with no mod, EQ is normally turned off on the phone and if I use my ZX2 I have everything turned off.
What's so special about these AKG earphones that come with the S8 and apparently cost $100?
I got $20 earphones from Pioneer and find the audio quality better & louder than the AKG which seem not loud enough sometimes. I tried to play with Equalizer but can't get any decent audio that makes me want to switch from my cheaper earphones.
My KZ ATES and ZS3 are better than most 100$ iems, and they cost only 10$ each

People said the sound improves tremendously after setting up adapt sound.
They are samsung headphones that akg worked over. I think they sound better than some highly rated ear buds, but I think most sound a little bit rolled off at the high end, while most think these sound a little emphasized at the high end.
Considering they are free, they are good indeed.
You can change up various settings and they sound good.
I also use poweramp and customise and tweek as required.
Try pushing them in your ears while you twist them so the cables face upwards. They lock into your ear canals and the volume and bass are improved quite a lot

Do you need to wear them backwards for them to fit your ears better? Left in right ear and right in left ear?
I'm happy with the sound from them but they slide out too easy for me, I might try some foam pads instead of the rubber ones they came with.
I think they sound great with adapt sound on. I used to think that earbuds couldn't sound that good because of there size. After using these I changed my mind and because I prefer the convenience of bluetooth headphones I bought the jaybird x3's which I love! They sound a lot better then the akg tuned headphones but those still sound great to me. Never buying over the ear or in ear headphones again!
I'm thinking about buying the official samsung buds but see many mixed reviews from the sound is low and the microphone quality is average at best.
I'm looking for good sound wireless charging noise Canceling and great fit and comfortable and usb c .... I was about to order earfun which cost less than 50 bucks with some good reviews .. Any good suggestions thanks
I am also looking for affordable one. I am more interested in Apple Airpods like Ear tip, not the rubber type, that hurts. Also bass is important.
You can't have airpod tip and get bass. To get bass you need isolation. Not rubber tip isolation. You will have to buy comply foam ear tips. Trust me when I say it makes a world of difference.
I got the galaxy buds with the free 150 credit for preordering.
They sound good for me and I'm hard at hearing things on the daily lol
Havnt tried talking with them, cause I didnt use buds or headphones for that matter to talk to people.
I just wish the note had an equalizer equal to when I had the S7 edge, I loved using the concert/hall reverb settings on some songs.

I have the gear iconX from 2018. While they are useful because they're small, long battery life, build quality, etc... they are not flawless.
The sound is OK but cannot compete with the included wired AKG headphones that come with note 10+. I believe that the galaxy buds are kind of same, maybe a little better with AKG technology but still these toys are small and i do not trust them for pleasing "audiophiles" kind of people.
I use the included AKG right now because they are just much better than the iconX. Only keep the iconX when i need to be free (in the garden or when running, or when walking in the street because of the ambiant sound feature etc).
If i ever look for good headphones i will probably check large ones, supra phones like Bose QC35 II which is probably one of the best wireless headsets i ever tested.

These things are too small, price is kinda low as well for what it does. They should work on audio quality instead of features IMHO.

modern day problem, wires.. how did we reach this level surprises me...
Anker sound buds. Long battery life! 12h! Extremely long range and sound is awesome! Not completely wireless but great nonetheless
I bought a pair of Samsung Gear buds full price with the credit for $130.
3 days ago I was searching Facebook Marketplace and found a brand new pair in box sealed for $60.
Check Letgo, CL and FB Marketplace!
Galaxy buds are good compromise for me.. I've had few low price buds (30-80 dollars) and powerbeats 3.. Powerbeats were great, I used them for 2 years, then I lost them, maybe sound was very synthetic.. That low cost buds were good.. Sound quality 6/10, battery life 7/10, but connection quality was poor. But also galaxy buds are not perfect... Charge box battery is not a good, problem with right bud after few weeks of using (lower volume in right bud, louder in the left one), but) then I pissed of and went back to the store and ofc. they worked perfect, so I was looking like a idiot). But it doesn't matter you know.. Every ear buds have + and -
Jabra 75t are pretty good almost 8 hrs on a single charge use them while I'm working they are just like the 65t but redesigned
I'm seriously impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Buds. Sure there are some buds out there that will sound better and have some other unique features but these things just simply work, always work, either bud 1 at a time, great range and quality, and are comfortable. I've had about 5 other brands and these are my favorite so far.
I'm not going to lie I lovey Powerbeats pro completely wireless and the sound is great with the note however I hate having to use the iPhone charging cord
I`ve got the Hyphens as a early bird (so at good value), but they are still not too expensive. They are really great at sound, bass and wearing comfort. I wouldn`t get any other ones at the moment.

I am also looking for affordable one. I am more interested in Apple Airpods like Ear tip, not the rubber type, that hurts. Also bass is important.

My original Samsung bud, the left one - 3 weeks old - , died, so while out for warranty servicing, I purchased a spare wireless set from Wish. They arrived 2 days ago and I tested them... very decent quality for the price. It costed me CAD$22. The case is also a backup battery - 3,000 mAH that charges your phone if need be - it has a USB-A port. The L and R buds are pairing together and can be used alternatively, The airtime is about 4 hours, they say - I have not tested them. I ahave also noticed that Amazon has a few decent ones for under $50.
Creative Outlier Air! Outstanding!
