I just got my HT820 tonight and I am experiencing some sound problems.
The bass sounds fine. However, high pitched sounds is terrible. It is distorted and awful.
There is this ringing sound whenever there is a high pitch sound.
Anyway to fix this?
I saw a posting about some RegEditing but I can't figure it out because the last two registry entries don't show up on my Wizard.
Try a program with an equalizer so u can lower the treble like gs player
Well, that is a good temp fix, but it is painful to listen to people on the phone using the headphones and it would be great to actually hear sounds other than bass.
Any other solutions?
I have moto HT820, the only thing I don't like is mid, it sounds like putting a cup on the ear (hollow sound)
if not, I like this headphones well
now I have plantronics 590a, the sound had been distorted first, but it's gone after couple of weeks of listening, it appears the headphones needs to be "cooked", with Koss KTX6 earpads, the sound is pretty good, esp on treble side, clear and detailed
I am waiting for Logi bt headset, the audio unit will not be used (I don't have ipod), I heard the headset, the sound is pretty good too (not good as plantronics, however), it's said the headband is pretty fragile (I doubt the manufacturer used wrong plastic, it should be made from PE+ABS)
The sound in my HT820 sounds almost like I am listening to a low quality mp3.
There is distortion at certain pitches.
Hey,
I was wondering how good the audio-quality is with some decent headphones? I have the Hermes with an adapter for ear-plugs, the sound is quite good for a phone, but not compared to a proper mp3 player..mind you, I'm a hifi-music guy and have quite good hearing (comparing headphones etc. no problem)
the audio is just fine and loud enough but not extremely loud! Dont worry. If it is a European device you can use diamond tools and disable the european union 100db sound limit.
that's good to know about the limiting..
and how is the quality, not just the loudness, like the base comes through clean, the sound is weighted equally and such? and when you turn the volume up, the signal stays clean (no clipping etc..my hermes does this)
The sound seems decent enough to me as well.
i'd imagine there would be clipping in a device like this, however I can't confirm at this point in time.
As anticipated, there are noticeable hisses.
Reference:
- 320kbps songs
- Sennheiser IE8 in-ears
- TF3D's audio booster on (R & B--on/off indifferent, really: hisses still there)
- system volume on last bar (i.e., lowest)
Overall, I find the HD alright. The siblence sounds become less obvious with the stock buds, but with in-ears they are expected (both with TF3D and Coreplayer). Needlessly to say, no phones are mp3 players--a little compromise is liveable.
-cheers
Crappy quality through windows media player and good ipod quality if played through the music touchflo3d tab.
mmm... that is odd... why the difference I wonder?

probably the equalizer settings are better in the music tab.
Indeed i find WMP appalling on desktops as well, however you try to change the EQ.
The HD seems ok to me, i use Sennheiser CX-300 ear buds, the stock heaphones are a horrible shape and hurt my ears.
Does the HD have any way to output audio through the mini USB on the bottom? If so, one could hook up a cleaner audio signal, and if it's line out level, one can hook up an external amp.
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!

i have a coreplayer as will DOMin8or would you post some screen shot about the 12db settings? wanna see will it rock my 5 pro
I know about the audio booster, but that's just for music (isn't it?). Does anyone else find that ring and message tones sound very shrill and tinny on the HD2? I found an app (Advanced Configuration Tool), which had some sound settings, but didn't seem to do a lot, so I was wondering if there's an app, or a cab somewhere that would 'tone down' the sound, and make it a little 'warmer', if you get what I mean?
Unfortunatly due to it being a tiny mono speaker thats as good as its going to get.
don't expect too much from phone speakers! Just look at the stupid kids walking throught the streets with their cellphones playing their **** music that sounds like crap coming from the tiny speaker. Totally annoying!!
Audio Booster just works when you have connected headphones/speakers via the 3.5mm jack or paired with a bluetooth speaker (I think). Otherwise just turn down the volume a little so it doesn't sound that thin and bad. I always use 2/3 of the max volume and my ringtone mp3s sound ok.
The HD2 mono speaker doesn't come close in terms of sound quality to the Rhodium. It's unfortunate, but I guess HTC couldn't cram another speaker into the HD2. It is pretty darn thin.
Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with it, then. Thanks for the replies.
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.
