Load Music, connect the earphone and the output sount quality is pathetic/worse even compare to the XDA ATOM/Exec or for that matter any other WM device I owned in past. On the other side the speaker output quality is still OK. The sound through the earphone ecos..sometimeit the voice goes low and instruments are high... normally this happens when you switch on the 3D surround on other devices like samsung Innov8. But the in X1 the quality is worse.. I even took it to the sony service they reloaded the ROM a fresh but the problems still remains. IS IT THE ACCEPTED SOUND QUALITY FROM X1. How about other owners .. do they get better sound output/quality through earphone. Is there anything I am doing wrong, Kindly suggest.
really? i find the music quality more than good enough. what headphones are you using?
The Headphone quality is f*cking good!!! I havn't heard this kinda bass on my I-Mate Jam or HTC TyTN II.
One thing is correct, the quality of the original earpieces is bad.
I got ones from creative. The one that go into you're ear.
The speaker quality..... Don't talk about it. Hate it
I'm using Sennheiser CX400 earphones and the sound quality is actually better than my iPod 5g.

The headphones supplied with this phone are suprisingly high quality ones. I have my own Phillips branded ones however.
Aside from the headphones, I think you issue is with the software you use. I found that WMPlayer is pretty crap when it comes to playing my favourite tracks. I use PocketPlayer and also Pocket Music, which have some very good equaliser functions. They make a big difference.
I also find the sound quality f*cking good!!
I expected the worse because it's a WM device, but it exceeded my expectations. Also using Creative ear-ins (EP-630)
I think there is a bug in the Sony Media Player software that can result in a seemingly poor quality sound output.
I've found that when opening the media player for the first time and playing a track the soundstage of the music sounds like its collapsed (lacking any high end or openess in the stereo image). If you then tap pause and then play again all of a sudden the soundstage opens out and the sound quality is very good.
Since I've turned on the "clicking" noise for screen taps, the above bug doesn't occur so often.
However, if I receive a call whilst listening to music after subsequently hanging up the bug re-appears.
Anyone else getting this?

I have this too, but I don't think the bug is mediapanel related only.
I get this when I use S2P, Wmplayer and the media panel.
Sounds almost like flat mono before I tap pause and then play again..
I don't see this as a huge bug, but it can get annoying.
It depends on the mood I'm in..
can anyone compare the speakerphone to a nokia n73 or n70?
It's definitely weaker than the N73 one.
so much so its sickening or just a tiny bit? how bad are we talking about here :S?
I was expecting this thread to be about the poor speakerphone quality.... which it is. I know of no WM phone with a good speakerphone so I wasn't expecting it to be as good as my N95's. However, music through headphone jack is as good, or perhaps even better than my N95 (not as much background hiss as the N95). I use Shure SE430's (pretty expensive earphones) and I find the music playback to be quite good. I even hook the X1 up to my Logitech Z5500 speakers through the Line-in jack and I can pretty much DJ a party with the phone and it sounds as good as if the songs were being played off my computer. (This is all through the SE Multimedia Panel btw. I get similar results with CorePlayer or Windows Media Player).
The only problem I have with the media panel is I can't receive calls with it open. That may or may not be a plus/minus to some people, but I guess it's ok. When people call me, it goes straight to voicemail. The only way I can receive calls with music playing is to go back to the today screen (with the music still going), which works out ok too, since I hold the end key to lock the phone, which brings it back to the Today screen before locking.
worst audio player?? are you kidding?
sorry, but thats definitly NOT TRUE.
***************************
the x1 has got the best and most powerfull audio out, i`ve tested. (but not compared with n70/73)
i wrote it few days ago in the accessoires threat.
i use the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro Inear
with 3 drivers/speakers per earpiece. (like a 3 way oldschool musik speaker)
i`ve tested my ue10pro headsets with a lot of other mp3 players and mobile phones.
but the X1 is the first player, who can unleash the power to drive the UE 10 pro to there limit....
only my sondcard a creative x-fi has got enough power to blast your ears/tympanic membrane....
the base is unbeleavable! the headset can go down to 10hz. and the high tones are crisp, sharp, clear. but a little
to soft from the middle to the highest frequency. but this could be fixed with the equalizer/audio booster.
if you set the first base frequency to +12 and the second slider to -10, you can formerly 'feel' the extreme deep bases.
you cant beleave, that you are not in a club!
don`t use the x1+ue10 for longer time on maximum power. thats very risky for your ears. trust me.
the only thing is, you have to use coreplayer and calibrate the equalizer.
or use a new custom rom (touch it hd) with integrated audio booster.
holy ****, that rulez!!
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro Inear (~300$-400$)
http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimat...escription.php
these devices with othoplastic, spezially for your ears. and a laser burns your name into the headsets.
if you have 900$ bucks into your pocket, take a look at that:
http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimat...escription.php
or 1150$? with 4 audio drivers/speaker per ear!!
http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimat...escription.php
this is the last headset you buy! the cables are replaceble with translucent cables and iphone button.
no more broken headset cables/wires.
my advice, use coreplayer. DONT adjust the equalizer/tone faders more then 12 db.
you will be surprised.
(core is able to adjust more than 12db/slider. more then 12db will bring disharmonies and ugly subtones and crickeling)
(the audio booster could only adjust 6 db. thats not enough for xtreme bases.
but dont use in coreplayer the 2 lowest faders both to +12. thats to much base and
the headsets and the power amp will be very unprecise and roar/rumble and you run into danger to burn the headset
for good kickbase decrase the lowest fader to -3 and the second fader to +12, the 3th to +6. increase the high tones 1-4 db.
for good ultra deep base drums, set the lowest frequenzy +9 or +12, and the second one to -2, the third 0 db.
i have a ultimate ear fi 5 pro headphones with two driver lower is range then DOMin8or tri fi 10 pro. i get quite good results but not on the default player. I only use touch flo 3d in -built music player with audio booster, if you know how to set it , i guarantee you get better sound then walkman phone. i prefer bass and vocal no to be so dull. get the touch flo 3d music player set it to rock mode first then try to made this mode to v shape by just shifting the first two bar to be same as the last two bar, trust me even if you are using your default headphones, you will notice the difference

speaker phone n95 8gb i think is the best
try this setting on audio booster
possibly, but i will it verify by my own. for me, this is the best combo i`ve tested. and ths x1 has got exactly that power, i`ve searched for. more power will destruct my/your ears
i like this unhealthy power of X1. and at 90% power, the sound is very precise and defined.
and 90% is my personal max. and i like it loud. but 100% ? not with me. *G
audio booster has got other cross over frequencies. so my advice/hint could not used with audio booster. audio booster has a range of +-6 db. thats not as good as cores +-12db(possible +-18, but most time useless. only for spezial noise filtering. for example in microphone recordings)
the most players output power broken down, if i increased the base and at high volume.
with other players, you can formaly feel the missing amp power. (ipod nano iv suuuxxxxxx,cheap no name mp3 player,orbit,diamond,nokia 6233, creative zen v plus. but zen v was the best.(not the best menu, but good sound quali)
but now the x1 is my favorit device)
imho the x1 has got a good power amp.
im not sure will it fit everyone style but after some tunning i think this settings best for me to go for on default earphones, i have been looking for post how to optimized sound quality, here is one, hopefully more will share there experience, i bought the x1 because of the 3.5mm connector if x1 doesnt has it i wont even look up to x1!

Hi
This seems to not be mentioned in most reviews, but what is the audio quality like as an MP3 player over headphones or bluetooth?
Previously had an Omnia 7 and sound as good but too quiet so you had to ramp up the volume, thus creating noise.
Thanks
Paul
The mobiles that I have had do not compare to my old sony, creative players and my cowon s9 - I have jays q jays monitors earphones. However, they are more than serviceable when commuting etc as its one less thing to carry (and with background noise does it really matter?) but for quiet listening pleasure at home - I still prefer the sq of proper mp3 players.
The dell venue is ok once it starts playing music but you can hear static when no music is playing and you are running through the menus. From bluetooth in car it sounded great.
my palm pre on the other hand did not sound that good. my touchpad sounds ok.
I just got the sprint epic galaxy s2 this past weekend - and it has very good sound quality with the stock android player.
However, if you use cheap earphones - ie. ipod earphones you may not make much of a difference at all.
On Galaxy S5 (no root) is there a way to use SoundAlive with every music player/app and a bluetooth speaker?
I would like to equalize the sound when I listen streaming music with DI.fm app and my esternal speaker...
Tnx
Hi, thought i'd bump this post as i'm also interested in this.
I'm surprised there seems to be very little talk in the s5 forum regarding getting the best sound quality from the s5.
I've just come from a Z1 to the s5 and my Z1 definitely had a better stock sound over bluetooth in my car compared to the s5 so i'm eager to sort it out!
It seems very strange that in the main settings section it just has soundalive or musicFX under music, but with no control over what it does!? no global EQ?
The only place I can see anything is samsungs own music player app which I don't want to use. ( Rocket player is much better)
Since I own the ZTE Axon 7 and the Xiaomi MI A1, I found myself having a hard time choosing between the two for playing music in the car through an audio jack. The issue with the Axon 7 is that whenever I raise the audio over 70%, the sound will be distorted an unclear, however with the MI A1, everything seems good but yet I did not get to adjust the sound to the best settings since I use soundcloud to listen to music normally, the other issue with the AXON 7 is that the DAC can only be used with the stock music player so what are your thoughts guys on this, shall I stick with the MI A1 to play music?
With AXON you are using it's own player app to make the full use of its DAC right? With soundcloud you won't be able to use the DAC right?
What settings are you talking about when using souldcloud on Mi A1? Equalizer?
If I was in your shoes I would probably stick with A1 since it isn't distorting in higher volume and use the car's equaliser.
my opinion on soundcloud is that the output isn't very good, the stream bitrate/quality just doesn't work for me. I stick with my local files and some other streaming apps.
Correct, the Axon 7 will distort even with its own player and sound including stage is much better on the Mi A1
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Poco F1's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Frankly, I'm disappointed by speakerphone
I can barely here what the other person is saying if I'm in noisy room.
Btw, it's just the call output through speakerphone that I'm unimpressed with, songs play pretty loud through speaker. One more thing I'd like to mention is, system ringtones sound louder than local files set as ringtones. This doesn't mean their sound is inadequate, it's just lower than system ringtones.
Is you facing discord mic issue while using earphone after recent update?
Is you are facing discord mic issue while using earphone after recent update of Miui 9.6.18.0
i am facinf 2 issues mainly
1- sound via pubg game is very unclear and broken and ofcourse very low after update while using earphone.
2-Mic is not working only with discord while using earphone its working fine with other applications.
Note- Earphone is not broken and i also tried other earphone same earphone working fine while calls and other stuff except this two.
Thanks.

The way the stereo speaker setup is implemented is so poor. For a stereo audio, there are two channels, left and right. One comes via the bottom firing speaker and the other comes via the earpiece. Just play a song where stereo content is significantly visible. You'll note that the channel that's played via earpiece is not at all audible, say 10% of the main speaker. It makes like an entire channel is missing. This is so disappointing.
Now, the dev team could do two things.
1) Increase the gain in the earpiece such that it becomes significantly louder. (But there is a risk of damaging the earpiece though)
2) We don't need stereo speakers at all! Disable the earpiece speaker and use just the bottom firing speaker for both right and left channels. (This is somewhat practical I guess)
Hope the stereo speaker issue is resolved soon.

You could enable Mono Audio from Accessibility Settings to get rid of this issue . Hope it helps.

Mono uses both speakers but they don't have any specific channels, ie both will play same mono audio so your channel issue should've been fixed.

yes. I just felt like the quality is better when in stereo than when in mono.
The earpiece is very unclear unlike Samsung which the earpiece is very clear.
The sound is very good, i don't know why people doesn't like it. The sound is strong and well balanced.
Don't imagine you will get a premium hi-fi audio quality with a smartphone
Audio in STEREO mode CAUSES serious issues (not only in FM Radio)
The FM Radio have issue which PREVENT the using the radio! :crying: The volume drops down up to be absolutely silent every ~10-12 seconds.
But not only the FM Radio suffers, the NEUTRON player too.
The problems exists only when the MIUI plays\operate with audio in STEREO mode. If you set audio to be MONO (System&Device --> Additional settings --> Accessibility --> AUDIO & ON-SCREEN-TEXT --> Mono audio) then the radio will not silent periodically.
Please tell this to the developers!
(The Neutron player have the issues when plugging the headphones - it stops to play streamed audio and not play it after the player restarts only once, but start to play the streams after two restarts only.
An addition issue when Neutron player used: when 3.5 plug disconnected, then the Pocophone plays short part of streamed audio after ~0.5 sec delay and then it can not be used without two restarts of the player.
The Neutron player work well when the MIUI converts (as this was described before) the audio to MONO)
NOTE:The issue with STEREO MODE AUDIO is manifesting on the genuine Pocophone Device which is managed by the LAST OFFICIAL GLOBAL MIUI ROM 10.2.3.0, as all this is stated on the following Screenshot:

Speaker Crackling
Since past 2-3 days my device POCO F1 showed up the loudspeaker Crackling issue.
Whenever I play some music the Crackling sounds occurs and when the device is on Silent mode, low crackling sound also occurs when I lock/unlock the screen, when app notification comes up, etc. Is it a hardware issue??
disappointed by the stereo speakers as the one of them used while calling is not loud ..... sound looks missing that extra punch compared to my late LG v20, and of course the microphone and noise cancelling is absolutely terrible on this phone especially when its on speaker mode in calls ( phone calls, duo calls, messenger telegram and whatsapp calls are have the same $hitty problem with echo and loud voices )
