EVO 4G Speaker

Has anyone else noticed the speaker on the EVO is freakin' brilliant? When I am listening to podcasts or playing games it's amazing. I mean, it's no 5.1, but it's like it's got a tiny subwoofer in there or something!
In fact, when I listen to podcasts before bed I have both my Nexus One and EVO docked there, but I have switched over to the EVO exclusively for podcasts. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just hallucinating?

That was one of the first things I noticed. The speaker is fantastic. Almost as good as the touch pro 2. The Nexus speaker is horrible by comparison

Totally agree. That was one of my biggest concerns when I bought it.
The Nexus speaker just flat out sucks! It sounds great, but it's wayyyy to quiet.
My Droid has the loudest speaker of any phone I've ever had and it's wonderful, and I have to say the Evo is easily on par with it. The Evo speaker may be a tiny bit quieter, but it also sounds better at full volume, so it balances out.

I was quite surprised at how good it was. Was setting myself up for a let down after the TP2's excellent dual speakers.

lol I was setting my self up for someone complaining about the speaker. I agree, the speaker is freaking amazing!

I'm not impressed. When driving, even with navigation at max volume, it is still too quiet, IMHO. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm coming from a Nokia with stereo speakers.

Loudest Cell phone speaker I've had so far. I never had a TP2, but it even beats my iPad's speaker hands down.

IMO, the speaker is slight letdown, compared to the TP2. The TP2 had the best speaker for phone conferencing I've ever used.

Just got mine today and I am really impressed with the speaker quality. Volume level isn't even half-way and I can hear it quite well

i agree... TP2 with AudioPara was great!

I think it's a bit unfair to hold it to that standard considering how big the TP2 was.

I guess I'm the minority. Coming from the iPhone, the EVO's speaker sounds blown out. It's loud, but it sounds pretty terrible. Maybe mine is defective?

It's not audiophile grade by a long shot. I believe everyone's praise is coming from a speakerphone perspective. I will still use my shure headphones for music. But when it comes to built in speakers. The Evo is second only to the TP2 IMO.
But yours indeed could be blown out. It wouldn't hurt to compare it to another evo if you have access to another one.

Samsung's new dock for Galaxy S phones. I wonder if it'll work for the Epic?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/samsung-htib-audio-dock-soundbar-ces2012/
Samsung unveils new HTIB systems plus audio docks with Galaxy S and iPhone support
While it's hardly pulling the curtain back on its entire CES 2012 slate of products, Samsung's earliest preview for your AV pleasure is an updated range of HTIB systems and sound bars, as well as two new Audio Docks that support Apple devices as well as its own Galaxy S phones and players. The DA-E750 Audio Dock (pictured above) is the first to include Samsung's "hybrid vacuum tube amplifier technology" which it claims raises the bar for mainstream audio products, by delivering the clear sound output of digital combined with the natural sound of a vacuum tube in its preamp. Both docks will play from and charge both Samsung and Apple hardware, as well as stream music wirelessly via AllShare or AirPlay, although the DA-E670 lacks that high end vacuum tube tech.
For your entire home theater needs, the new HT-E6730W 7.1 Blu-ray 3D HTIB features the same vacuum tube tech as the DA-E750, while the HT-E5500W boasts an iPod dock and 3D sound effects.Finally the HW-E550 Surround Sound Bar also produces 3D sound with vertically mounted speakers and comes with its own wirelessly connected subwoofer. One other new feature this year is the "Disc to Digital" integration in the HT-E5500W's Blu-ray player which will give users access to streaming copies of eligible discs just by registering into the player. It sounds like it's powered by Ultraviolet, although we'd expect to hear more about that closer to the show. Check after the break for press releases, and the gallery for a few pics of all this hardware -- if you know anything about Samsung, you know the onslaught has only just begun.

I wonder if the Epic will work on it, considering those other Samsung docks have not worked right for our phones.

Try searching. If I remember correct, someone said in an earlier thread that sony ericsson 2011 compatible headsets work with the x5.

I read somewhere that the best are those that comes with the phone. For me it has good sound quality

i have checked one sony headset , i dont know model but the sound was really good . hey but i can buy can any music player/ ipod earphones they work ( i have have tested few philips and sennheiser earphones in an electronic store ) .
i also want 2 tell u that there was one sennheiser earphones ( i dont remember model no ) around 20 -25 $ ( after converting in US$) . the sound was simply awsm( bass and everything perfect) . trust me u will throw the inbox earphones after listening to them , will definately tell u the model no the next time visit .

got it - its CX - 180 . go 4 it blindly .

Here we're talking about headsets, not headphones. There are tons of great headphones, many are Sennheiser... but they don't have a mic.

hi
my yusing sony xbr-30

I use a Sony ericsson MH-650. Much better audio quality than the stock headsets and all the other functionality works (mic, button).

anyone tried sony mh-750?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 RMAA Tests

The 7.7 sure is a solid performer. It has no bass roll-off with low impedance phones (meaning, probably no capacitors in the output path), it has low enough output impedance to drive multi-armature IEMs with crossovers properly, it has decent enough SNR and dynamic range. It measures not quite as well as a Sansa Clip or a modern iDevice, but it's better than, say, Cowons in some aspects (especially bass roll-off).
Same as all other Android devices I tested it has some slight audible background hiss with most IEMs - I guess that has to be fixed in Android, though, not in the hardware.
Frequency response with various loads:

Here's the link to the full results: http://rmaa.elektrokrishna.com/index.php?dir=Comparisons/&search=galaxy+tab&search_mode=f
Also, just for fun, found in the results above - not that anyone with half a brain would believe that "audiophile" scam players like Neutron MP really sound any different (or even "better") than the next non-broken software player, but I compared it to Rockbox... and of course they measure exactly the same. (Yeah, I also listened to both with my very own ears and couldn't hear any difference.)
Also, Player Pro seems kinda broken at times, with way too high distortions - I repeated the measurements several times in RMAA, but they always turned out the same. Not sure what that is, but I doubt those are realistic results, so I would take them with a grain of salt.

Nice results!
Have you noticed the problem when the audio cuts on/off during low level passages when listening at low volumes? With real high sensitivity earphones one can even hear the 7.7's background noise mute and un-mute.

Yes, I noticed the background hiss - you even hear it when you click the system bar to go to the mini apps. Audio gets activated shortly, resulting in some background hiss. I noticed the same on my Cowon and Archos Android devices too, 2.2 and 2.3 respectively - seems that's a general Android issue.
Also, it's somewhat annoying that Android resamples everything to 44.1kHz (with linear interpolation, I assume). That's no issue for music playback since most everything is at 44.1kHz anyways - but most video stuff is at 48kHz and gets rudely resampled.
A 44.1kHz sine sweep in MX Player:
Same in 48kHz:

Hello,
I am a regular user of this tab but not too informed regarding this. Just want to ask if what would this mean to us users of the P6800?
Is it possible that the Samsung tab 7.7 be used as a music device? (ie. Irig in iDevices) I'm curious about this test. Sent thanks

Apple earbuds.

My Moto won't let me use my apple earbuds for music. All I get is static. Yet I can use the same earbuds on my galaxy note 10.1. Anyone else try this? Do I have to use motorola earbuds? Thanks.

I have tried 2 different sets from 2 ipods, both static...yet a cheap pair works. Does your connector have three metal bands or two on the actual connector?

Its this set

Thanks. much appreciated. Same as mine.

The strange thing is that these ear buds do not work on my tablet, Hisense Sero 7 pro but they are perfect on my X aside from the lack of volume control

I'm using original Apple iPhone 4 earbuds with my Moto X and Nexus 7 2013. They work fine with both, no volume control of course.

IPhone ear buds working fine here also .... Tho I hate them. Lol much prefer my S2 buds.

iphone 5 earpods working just fine on my moto x

Had to revisit this thread, plugged in my cheap Dell desk speakers to the phone and got nothing. Plugged in an extension cable to the speakers then they worked fine with the phone. I guess this phone does not work properly with certain plug styles.

Same thing with iPhone 5 headphones. You can answer and mute calls with the headphones but no volume control with them.

This is quite odd - my headphones look identical to yours and they work fine!?
