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 tested at the IFA, which was a pretty loud environment and volume was similar to my Axon 7 despite the V30 having only a mono side speaker. Clarity was good, less distorted than Axon 7 at high volume, but hard to judge because the environment was loud. I will wait for GSMarena#s audio testing.
Pleasantly surprised by the speaker. Gets loud enough but I wouldn't say particularly louder than any phone. Pretty good quality however.
Seriously speaking... this is probably the only "meh" feature of this phone. Glad to hear the simple mono set up is fairly good for what it is though.
I used the G4 H815 since 2015 and comparing, the V30 is not so loud or clear. The G4 gets even louder if over a surface with the screen up. The curve let to the speaker space to "create" some kind of amplifying "sound box".
The 3.5 jack on the top is also a minus for my kind of use and my car setup...

So far I’d say its just better than the v30 and not as good as the G8. It’s good and loud for games and YouTube but not the best for music. Could do with a little bit of bass and low mid.
I'll throw in that the "Boom box" speaker tech actually works to boost the speaker volume when you have the device installed in the Dual Screen Case accessory. The Boom box speaker works by resonating whatever surface the phone is placed on, like a table, or either really well on a cardboard box. But this feature does increase the volume of the phone inside of the dual screen case.
But even outside of the case, the speaker is quite loud and clear, and in calls there is an option in the volume pop-up to toggle a simple volume boost, which increases the max volume even further.
When compared with S9+, V50 has a wider spatial feel when listening to music. The bass is very weak. I bet a headphone will do a much better job.
Phone conversation are clear enough in both sides though.

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 ??

Its best in this price segment
Sound is crisp, clear and loud
9.5 out of 10
Got my MOF+ yesterday - switched from Moto G8 Power. Sound is excellent at higher volume levels without distortion ^^
Speaker is loud enough to hear my phone ring from a distance. Don't care about music from the speakers.
Call volume and quality is also great.
Bought today, really Amazing sound, no complain at all, :good:

No complains whatsoever
Reception is poor in our area, but it does a great job in spite of that
I switched to this phone from the 2014 Moto G (stereo speakers)
I miss only the balance when watching videos in landscape
Other than that, volume & clarity are very good
Earpiece is designed well; dust can be easily blown out

Like to know too. How's the earpiece volume, i mean can you hear a soft speaking sound when you put the phone 50cm in front of you?
It's pretty good in my opinion, my ears are not very good so I can't really tell the audio quality that well but it's plenty good at its price point. Gets loud enough to fill a room and doesn't get tinny even if you turn it all the way up as far as I can hear. Besides the fact that it's easy to cover since there's only one port it's good enough if you're not an audiophile.
Can confirm audio is excellent. Even with Galaxy Earbuds Plus!
Definitely a big upgrade from my Oneplus 3!
It's louder and sounds better.
Can't say something about the earpiece, because I didn't use it a lot
Using it to call other people or checking some Youtube, it's really loud en pretty clear. Distortion is from the speaker itself is at normal volume OK. At higher volumes it is a bit worse.
Good to know, the whole phone acts like a soundbox. So it sound like it has Stereo, but hasn't. Because of this the whole phone vibrates.
