Sounds is more on the tinny side. Too much treble and it sounds distorted at high volumes like something is vibrating. The bass is basically non existent. Clarity is very good especially on phone calls and just for voice chatting but for music or media it's sub par. Honestly I'll be keeping my z3 and using that whenever possible. Because I use my phone a lot for media consumption

Motorola One Zoom loudness isn't that great, I've heard louder phones before. After rooting with Magisk Manager, and also installing Viper4Android FX, my speaker quality increased by +/- 22% and my headset by about the same, I've yet to test connected to Bluetooth speakers.
Also I haven't yet tried Dolby Atmos so will see if that's even louder than Viper4Android ??

Problem during call
I'm having a problem with my phone. When i make call using earphones and then during call when i remove it then speakers of the phone doesn't work for 5 to 6 seconds. I was not able to hear the person on the call. Is it just with my phone or anyone else is facing same problem.
While it can get quite loud it's only a mono speaker with slight distortion on max volume. Considering the price its above average but nothing amazing.

Agree with you.
I use RE Equalizer to improve the quality of the external speaker. It's quite better, works with musical players, video players, YouTube etc.., and no need to root.

compared to the z3compact it can get a lot louder. it sounds more full, like you are listening with your headphones in. tested with a youtube video called: music sound test for high end system hd version. but the bass is lacking (but then again it is a phone)
The speakers are good but I want to address the headphone socket controversy. I was unhappy about losing the headphone socket but since using it, the dongle hasn't been an issue for me anymore. its tiny and easy to forget its there when listening to music. I get some good bass from both speakerphone and the earbuds and being more of a music listener than a gamer or movie watcher,, sound quality is a big deal for me.
So give this video a listen and tell me what you all think of the sound from both the speakers and using the dongle and earbuds. i'd like to hear everyone's opinion.

The speaker quality with music is ok, nothing great. BUT the quality when using speakerphone during a call is horrible. It's like someone turned the bass all the way down and the treble all the way up. Sounds hollow and tinny and crackles. Not sure if it's my particular unit or a software issue. Unfortunately the equalizer in the sound settings only has any effect for music and not for calls.

For me, the sound is flawless. I have also installed ViPER4Android and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I haven't tried BlueTooth audio, but the headphones, mic and the phone speaker are - IMHO - among the best in its class.

Compared to a Moto Z, the in-call voice quality is inferior (dull and flat). The speaker is alright but nothing to write home about.

sucked with the DTS setting on, better without.
while in a call you can pressw the volume up and select boost, that helps a lot...
as someone whos on the phone a lot (business owner) I usually carry a bluetooth earpiece, that works great,
It could be louder both for calls and video playback.

It's true that the DTS for the speaker have a live effect who is not quite good. But, DTS and Quad DAC are good both with a good headset.
The loudness is... satisfactory, but not exceptional. Clarity is atrocious. Sounds is flat, uninspiring, and completely lacking anything beside human speech range. Low trebles are overpronounced, highs are quiet, and bass is completely non-existent. In-call quality is surprisingly good, but turn on loudspeaker and ears bleed.
LG V30 has MUCH BETTER speakers, both for media consumption and calls.

I love the sound quality.
But I personally think that Music is to loud using Dolby Smart Audio (The Reason being, the lack of controll over the fixed volume)
I've had this problem since i got this phone, the amplified earpiece speaker keeps ocilating in volume in busier parts of songs, my problem is not volume related and doesn't happen with normal youtube videos where there is no music, I've tried disabling dolby áudio, I've rooted my phone countless times, I've fully reseted my phone 5 times already, and it still happens, i just want to know if other moto g8 plus or g8 power users have this same issue
Sorry, No. In fact the sound is very good : and that matters to me.
I have a question about the stereo speakers, can someone explain me why is the earpiece speaker much weaker than the speaker near the charging port.
