need one. standard media player is flat as all get out. recommendations?
flat? really. i jam mine in my truck and its bassy as hell lol. have to turn down my sub somtimes to make it sound right.
Will this player handle .wav music files? or is there one that will?
extra bass doesn't mean extra good. perhaps your speaker setup is appropriate for the onboard equalizer. mine isn't. i want adjustability

I dont think there is anything decent out there as I wouldnt mind an equalizer though I would describe the output from the device as punchy and really quite dynamic. What sort of headphones or system are you plugging into it? The headphones it comes with are somewhat weak....

i haven't tried my closed circumaural (sennheiser 280 pro), but my sennheiser in ear buds usually sound decent enough, and are a lot less cumbersome. however, everything on this sounds completely flat. my zen has an equalizer that allows me to set everything up perfectly. much more dynamic, and appropriate for me. i have partial hearing loss :/
No EQ . Not possible with androids sdk from what i understand.
There is one application that tries this but it is horrible.
Definitely ones of my biggest peeves of android.

i can confirm that the music app on board the nexus one handles wav files.
until (and if) andless handles flac files, I'm going to listen to wav files. sure, they take up quite a bit of space, but man do they sound sweet.
for what it's worth, i like the sq. that said, i use custom iems and can max out the volume with no discomfort. that definitely means that the n1 isn't the loudest dap ever.

Very Cool...that makes me a very happy camper!
There is an equalizer program on the market.
It's something like Platinumeq with audio player.
It works very well and has about 15 sliders to adjust as well as 30 or so presets.
However it is £18!! but worth a download and try to see if the sound can be improved, I find it pretty damn good actually.

Those are the only ones Im aware of and they most certainly did some ass backwards hack. The sound is absolutely terrible , random skipping in songs , a resource hog even on the N1 after a day or two.
Unless you are just using stock or cheap-o earbuds the sound will get distorted badly.
Anything remotely close to quality headphones and youre going to hear alot of distortion. Wouldnt recommend at all.
dont need EQs. stock headphone are junk (sound flat). use better headphones and it will be like night and day difference in sound quality. i have like $30 dollar headphones which is cheap and they already make huge difference.
That's the one.
I found it worked rather well on my Hero?
Maybe I'm lucky or easily pleased..

Quite the contrary.
The better the headphones the more the need for an EQ.
Every headphone (and speakers for that matter) have there own characteristics. The more expansive the sound range becomes the more EQ can come into play. On top of that every user has there own preferences and there own sources of music.
Thats like saying every TV should have the same stock video presets regardless of the source.
For low end and budget headphones theres not much range to work width making EQ barely noticeable.

lol Perhaps.
Meltus here and the guys from coreplayer among others have been adamant that Google hasnt given access to the sources needed for a proper EQ.
What sucks is that Coreplayer also got shunned by Apple for the same reason. Those guys do great work yet are limited to WinMo.
I tried my set of high quality headphones with my N1, and the N1's sound is simply terrible no matter what music player is used. No dynamic range, incredibly flat sounding, no bass what so ever. This is in desperate need of an EQ no matter what. At least bluetooth stereo is better.
told ya, lol
I agree the nexus one isn't fantastic with my Ultimate Ear triple FI's, but hey it's a phone. The iphone is horrid too. When i am home I just use my Sansa Fuze to get some solid sound. If i use the nexus one(which I do), I just remember it's a phone and tolerate the worse sound. I honestly tend to use my cheaper headphones to compensate as well.
If you care about sound this much, I am sure you already have a high quality mp3 player. If you not, 75 bux will get you a 8gb fuze+16gb micro sd card, and this should suffice with limited pocket space taken!
Tried to listen to some music for the first time now, just to check out the horrid flat sound with no bass.
Launched Spotify, put on my Boss Quietcomfort 2's (granted, not the most neutral headphones around...) and selected a song with some bass etc.
Plenty of bass for my ears, even with Spotify which doesn't exactly have the highest bitrate around (160kbps mp3 or ogg, can't remember). Decent sound which couldn't be called flat even if you threw a rock at it.
Might be pre-EQ'ed a bit for all I know, but it doesn't sound bad at all.
Couldn't check out the built in media player since I deleted all the mp3's that were pre-installed on the SD-card
Even the G1 sounds better over headphones than the N1. Kinda sad.
I come from Poland, and I'm not good speak in English therefore, the following translation of google translate :
I moved a tiny microphone test in our SP and according to me is really good. Only when I pushed the speaker phone was distortion, even though it can feel good bass Feel free to subscribe and feet up! : D

Ha! You made me laugh
I have tested mic from Xperia SP many times. For speak recordings its ok, but for music? It's... maybe not disaster, but not good. I dont know exactly what you mean by "really good" and "good bass", but for me? With internal mics (as I know SP has two microphones) its quite bad. I haven't tested it yet with headset, but better quality I get on my old LG GT540. Low tones are very rattling (I dont know exactly if that's right word, I'm from Poland too ) First I though thats speakers fault, but same issue on TV and Home Cinema Its impossible to watch movies recorded with XP where was loud music (especially with a lot of low tones) on sth else than Xperia herself.
And. Please. Code links

hi mate, if i plug an external handset for the audio recording the phone will use the handset mic or the ****ty internal microphones?
And quality would be better?

Smaller and compact external mic.... Better... just by a camera. You can pay for good compact mic more than a mid-end camera.

i found the Edutige EIM 001, is similar to the edutige fro Go Pro & Go Pro 2, it cost around 20 euros, it sound really good, i think i'm gonna buy it, check out videos online.
It has signal noise ratio of 60db, really good for a compact mic...
What's the audio bitrate that this phone records in? Is it stereo or mono?
To find this info record a quick 5 second video and save it to your computer. look at the properties of the video and let me know what the but rate is. higher is better. stero is better.
thanks

There's only 1 mic hole on the back of the moto x pure. Unless the back removal hole is also a mic?
Im just trying to figure out if any of these Moto X phones record in stereo and what the bitrate is. I wont even bother buying ANY type of phone that records in mono. Why would anyone want mono sound, especially when all these devices have a HD camera? Kinda stupid to invest in a product that can record 1080 P and 1960's sound.
I look at the small details. The Xperia Z1s I have records in stereo. Its bitrate is 176kb which is acceptable.
Allot of these phones have holes in the back and front but they arent for recording sound, they are noise suppression mics to lower noise when talking to someone on the phone. The only way to know what the bitrate is of a device is to make a simple quick video recording. Use a program like mediainfo

Sorry, I'm getting the nexus 6p instead.
The B&O earphones which we received along with our phone is a decent one. But in my experience it does not make any difference unless the song is in hifi flac format.
The LG "life's good" track (3mins) in the phone is 24 bit and has 192 khz sampling rate and it sounded amazing through the B&O head set. The size of this 3 minute track is almost 100 mb.
However, I downloaded a few samples of 24bit/44.khz flac files and its corresponding 320kbps Mp3 versions and felt no difference between them while hearing.
24 bit/ 192khz track = 100mb
16 bit /44.1khz track = 20 mb
mp3 320 kbps = 8 mb
Does that mean to experience the full effect of DAC the songs got to have high sampling rate? Also some of the flac files which were 16 bit did not even have the "hifi" badge in the playlist. What does the other users here think about this?
I can definitely hear a difference between a HiFi FLAC song from Tidal and one from another streaming service. Whether it is better or not is subjective to each person, but there definitely is a difference in sound.

Yeah that i agree. I have subscribed to both Google play music and TIDAL HIfi . When i alternate a track between the two services I feel tidal version to be more soothing were as google play version is more loud.. But does than mean we experience those additional little details or the so called mind blowing Hifi effect ? NO, I don't think so. There isn't much difference at all.
Just listen to a track on Tidal, then go back listen the LG life's good track again. That will show you the true Hifi quality.

To me, there definitely is a difference. Tidal FLAC is a more natural sound alongside MQA. I hear the same songs in a whole new light which I appreciate. The mind blowing experience also depends what speakers or headphones you choose while listening.

I did not say there isn't any difference. I admit Tidal is a little better. But just not better enough. That's why i referred to the LG track. I honestly do not think the additional 10 $ per month for Tidal over GPM is worth it. Or maybe it's just me.
I can only speak for myself. The phone will support a 256G SD card. I don't stream anything. I load 24\192 and DSD files and use one of the 4 known players that make use of the quad dac. I listen headphone\iem's that have over 50ohms impedance. I smile a lot, I dance in the street. The V20 is a happy musical engine that powers joy. IMHO streaming music is like getting a hand job, through a small glory hole, from a faceless stranger, with missing fingers. (YMMV) You can hum along but what is the point when you have such a great device. Life is Good When you Play more..

By the way from where did you get the 24/192 tracks from? torrents? I thought they were hard to find?
R U speaking about trackers? I know nothing about such sites. SE you were speaking t__r__nt projects? There is nothing there. I Did See Delightful people there that were on only 24 years old and weighed 192 LB's . They sounded lovely.

I was referring to the one that came with the phone.
I am sure most poeple know that PowerAmp is arguably (Or unarguably) the BEST music player on planet right now. It also supports 24 bit 192 kHz Hi-res playback on most phones.
But sadly our phone with HiSilicon Hi6403 (32 bit/192 kHz and DSD lossless format support) doesnt feature in them.
I have submitted our phone's details on poweramp forums for the same.
Pls do the same as it'll get their attention if many people ask for it.
