No bass?

Hi
I am really upset with the amount of bass that comes out of my omnia 7. I almost can't fell the bass at all when I listen to music. Is it just my phone or does others have same problem?
The problem is both in the headset and when connected to external sound system through mini-jack.
regards Zaiby
seems bassy enough to me...i think that means there is something wrong with your phone
Ok that's strange. The sound is better than my old iPhone's, both bass and trable are clear and strog on my both sennheizer headset HD418 and earphones cx300, didn't try to connect it to speakers yet.
Postive you're plugging them in all the way?
I haven't tried music off my phone yet, so I wil give it a go once I've found my headphones - I'm very picky/fussy when it comes to how my music sounds, so I will let you know what I think
I have exactly the same problem. Very very little bass with the following headphones:
Samsung Omnia 7 earphones
Sony MDR-7506
Klipsch
I've had better bass with my old Nokia phone. Is there a setting somewhere or maybe a tweak to make it better?
I've bought mine outright here in Australia.
It sounded OK for me with some high-end Creative ear-bud things... I will test it out with some more music tomorrow for you
Hi, I thought i had the same problem until i changed the rubber bits on the earphones as mine would never stay in. You need to get the earphones in your ear properly (all the way in) cause if not its sounds tinny. Once in then you will find that there really is a lot of bass
I do agree with the lack of bass, it does definitely come down to headphones used which should not be the case.
when running with shure se210's there is a limited bass range, when running with ultimate ears superfi 5's it was similar. Comparing this to my ultimate ears triplefi 10's and bose triport onears, both of these have a heavy bass. Im guessing they support a wider range of bass.
Its a shame as its one of the only drawbacks to this phone.
Please dont ask why i have so many pairs of headphones lol' quite the headphone fan
I think that we just need an equalizer like the HD7.
Coming from a HD7, the sound quality is awful in comparison, and I'm using Beats not some cheap earphones.
Luckily I bought a Zune HD to go along with it
Noticed no difference when listening to the same Song. Tested with ipod and omnia 7.
Bass is very poor with the standard headset, agreed an equaliser is needed asap, cant believe a handset this new is lacking it to be honest.

Looking for a Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Does the HS3000 work?)

Hello!
I am interested in the Samsung Bluetooth Stereo Headset HS3000 - I had the Sony MW60 and it is not bad, but the volume control (not a real button - more sliding with finger over a line) is not what I really like - you can't use it "blind".
The Samsung hasn't got to be much better, the "real" buttons are a big advantage in my eyes.
Anywhere I see the HS3000 there are many Samsung Smartphones listed, but not the Galaxy S3 and not the Galaxy S4. Can someone confirm that it works with the Galaxy S4? Perhaps together with an headphone button controller app like you find in the play store?
I am a big music listener and a good bluetooth headset is what I need. I have got the big Philips SHB9000/10 but the play/pause - next title earcaps are really uncomfortable.
I think the HS3000 could be good. Or is there any other good stereo bluetooth headset?
All the best,
lienot

I am using the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC headphones with my G4. They support Bluetooth 3.0 and the aptX codec. I am very pleased with the sound quality and battery life.
Nokia BH-500 or BH-214 are great.
I had MW600,absolute rubbish design and sound quality & volume.

Thanks for the answers. I will try the old Samsung first. If they are not what I am looking for my next try will be the Nokia bh sets. There are much more than I thought.
Thanks

Yes they are quite expensive, the BH-500 is about 6 years old but it has amazing sound quality and volume.
It was £100 when new, top of the range. It is worth the £40ish it will cost now but the newer BH -214 is good too.
You will need to buy decent earphones for the BH-500 though, the ones on the BH -214 are quite good for bundled earphones.
Read this review http://www.gadgetnutz.com/2010/07/12/nokia-bh-214-review/
I have both and the BH-500 is better with good earphones.
Tested both with same earphones and same phone, same songs.

I use my HS3000 daily with both my S3 and S4 and haven't had any problems. Pair it up with a good set of headphones or in my case, the car stereo and you're golden.

Well I have MW600 and they're amazing for me but I haven't used them with my S4 yet (only with iPhone 4).
So Samsung/Google fixed bluetooth bitrate? First time I tried MW600 was with first galaxy s and it was rubbish because the bluetooth audio bitrate was limited.

I tested all 3 with same phone (S2) the same earphones, same songs, the Sony was rubbish, it distorts above 3/4 volume and the design of that bloody volume slider is ridiculous.
It doesn't respond when you want it to but does when you're trying to change track etc. Its infuriating:banghead:
The difference between the Sony & Nokia is night & day.
I bought the MW600 because i'd always been impressed by Sony products and reviews were positive.
I actually took the first one back to the shop because i was sure it was faulty but when i got the replacement i realised it really is that bad.
I suppose it would be ok if you only listen to music at around half volume but i like loud and the MW600 just fails.
Btw I gave it to my mate who now owns a BH- 214 after he heard mine (because he couldn't get a BH-500 at the time)

I only could compare them to stock iPhone and Samsung headphones but also I'm probably not that "sound sensitive" (I'm more "video sensitive" ). Or it has something to do with the music genres but all I wanted to say is that they are not rubbish to everyone and I'm pretty happy with my choice.
also the main reason I bought them was the headphone jack so with them I can create wireless speakers from any speaker

Noise Cancelling headphones not working well.. maybe something in settings?

Hello guys,
I recently just bought the samsung s7 edge, I tried using my noise cancelling headphones (Sony MDR-NC31E) by sony. I got it with my previous phone (xperia z2). For some reason the headphones does not work well. Like when i play music, I hear the actual music but the lyrics seems far off, when on calls I can hear very slightly. I tried fiddling the settings, enabled the UHQ Scaler. Still of no use.
Is this a compatibility issue?
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
Sorry to say , they are just not compatible with S7E. have the same pair of NC earphones. Jack config is different.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks a lot for your help. Do you recommend any decent headphones for the s7e?
Not too expensive around let's say £20?
Get headphones with lower impedance or an amp to get the headphones working
whatever headphones u get the sound the GS7 gives (specially compared to sony phones) will be crap, because they use the 820/exynos chip to process sound, and sony itself says their noise cancelling earphones are just for their selected phones
I have and use the Samsung Level On Pro. Its compatible for obvious reasons plus it has an app for more audio tweaking.
I've had 5 Sony android phones. The sound is no where close to what the S7E can produce.
Stock or with sound mods installed on all devices, clarity bass & mid are brilliant.

What he said... those headphones ONLY work with particular Sony smartphones with build int noise cancelling circuitry. They are useless for any other smartphone, Samsung or no Samsung.

Audio on jack any good?

I am very happy with my HTC 10 for the powerful an clear Audio output it gives on the 3.5mm jack, DAC and AMP are very nice, the s8 is a damn sexy phone but if the audio volume and quality are still not on par with HTC...
It will be Exynos version (for my country)
Testet the ekg eraphones with s8 and after that with htc m8. Hands down the htc was supperior. Sound was verry good on s8 but...man the htc has a powerfull Dac.
Damn sammy!
They will never learn how to please audiophiles?
And htc is gonna ditch the 3.5mm jack this year :crying:
Edit: Now that Root is done on Exynos, anyone tried V4A to boost the volume?
I have the Exynos S8+ and still using my HTC 10 for audio as the S8 just isn't anywhere near loud enough Phone is awesome though
I have tge s8 and had the s7 edge before that and never ever noticed any issues with the audio. How loud do you like it to be? I am using skullcandy and have to say on max volume can't cope for long. Are you sure that your settings are correct. Noticed tgat Performance mode should be on to have a proper sound.

The 3.5mm jack / Quality,Dac

Hello.. Im just going to buy Redmi note 7 global version, but I've an important question that confuses me...
I know than note 7 has 3.5mm headphone jack. my previous device (mi 8 lite) had not 3.5mm jack, but the USB-C to 3.5mm cable had a perfect sound quality.
I have an HiFi Eafphone, but I don't know, that note 7's headphone jack will handle my earphone?... Is the smartphone has any dac/amp ?.. or it has a poor 3.5mm output with a low quality sound... I know power of the Mobile's speaker, but... How about the headphone jack?!.. please, someone help me and check this item..
Thanks a lot..
low quality sound at my opinion...
it's not "low quality sound" .. coz i spent the last 2 days searching for a compatible headphone (since i couldn't find xiaomi headphones) .. i found these
https://www.uk-mobilestore.co.uk/lg-g3-g4-premium-in-ear-headphones-hss-f530-black.html
they work perfectly with it and the sound quality is WOW
Xiaomi Redmi 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro are Powered by Dirac Sound Optimization Solutions...
Sound quality is awesome on my low budget MEMT X5S earphone.

I know... But, i need to figure out how is the quality with a HiFi earphone.., like Shure se215...
Far as I know dac is integrated in Snapdragon 660, so that is not bad. My tests show that output is louder than My Huawei P10 what was quiet, so output should be ok, remember that if You want good, loud sound don't use headphones over 32 Ohms. Sound quality is worse that P10. Sound is muddier, not that clean and rich, high frequencies are harsher. Sound by comparison can be equal to pc integrated sound card.

If you use low quality earphones, than it'll be low quality like your comment though.
Hi ! first of all sorry for my english xD
Got my RN7 and after some web/review read and investigation on the phone, the DAC is ensure by sdm660sndcard , and there is an Amplifier 10V (named MAX98927 in app but also read smartpa 98937 on web...) don't know about other built in DAC
The option "Mi Sound Enhancer" that could be found on "sound and effect" menu seems do very good job with the preset Generic and EQ on FLAT. (I don't like sound effect) Concerning this option I read about no sound effect/EQ but impulse correction/magnitude... I can't say exactly but the difference between the two sounds very like amplification... On Bose earphone 100€ the sound quality is crazy good
And of course disable basic audio player app and go for a good one (i use Aimp for exemple) with flac files
You can choose LDAC for audio codec, as well as aptx. Pretty good sound with headphones

Thanks friend. I bought Note 7 and it will arrive in few days
"On Bose earphone 100€ the sound quality is crazy good"... it's Good with "Mi sound enhancer" or without that?
And... I am using flac files with Huawei player right now.. if you right, the sound will be good in shure earphone too... And i hope so.
Thanks A lot for answer. :highfive:
With option enable sounds pretty good, i putted setting on "General" cause my earphones are classical (no intra) but you have to try it. Also there's an in built equalizer but i set it on flat (all on 0)
Tell us what you think of it after tried !
hello, the sound is very good with the jack. I use poweramp which supports reading 24 bit flac.

I found some interesting stuff regarding the redmi note 7. Snapdragon 660 uses its own integrated dac which is awesome. My headphone is IEM by Mee Audio Pinnacle P1 which has impedance of 50Ω(very high). They are difficult to drive by normal phones but redmi note 7 drives it well without any external dac+amp. Since it can drive a 50Ω headphone I think it can play any other IEM with ease.
I posted something today regarding this here

i have rn7
compare with mi8lite it's output quality not bad but volume is very less!! I'm disappointed ..both dongle and type c headphone on mi8lite are better ..so what i do?
change my phone with mi8 lite?
I use the RN7 with a pair of KZ ZS10 «AND VIPER4ANDROID» to play Spotify, Tidal and Deezer music and the sound you can get from it's just mind-blowing (obviously in my personal opinion)... The default sound eq is just trash, but you can do some great stuff if you know how...

If you use an external DAC you can use it on every compatible phone and it will sound the same, since the digital signal is equal in every case unless you use some sort of equalizer... So the DAC will sound the same in the Mi8 or in the A2Lite (just to give an exaggerated comparation)... If the quality of the sound is not good enough for you, you can use a Bluetooth DAC or a higher quality USB DAC with a better pair of headphones/earbuds
Remember, viper4android does magic and same is with rn7 (i use some jbl earphones which comes in the box with a lenovo phablet -probably cheap sh*t). The sound was not bad with inbuild sound settings but not really deep and clear. With v4a im satisfied
