I have just recently purchased a neo xda with the latest rom versions.
My problem is the sound quality of the phone both ends. Receiving and speaking. I'm using a plantronic BT headset and people sometimes say that I sound far away. When not using the BT the sound quality is like listening in a tin can. My treo 650 sounds way better than this!
Is there anything that can be done?
Help
Hi Everyone,
I have read and seen almost every comparison exist between these two models and came to a I9505 conclusion
One last thing that wasnt really clear about is the mic, ear piece and the speaker quality and volume.
As for the mic I have seen in this video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ_o6784tEg
Which clearly the I9500 mic is a lot better than the I9505, I guess that affects the call quality but I want another opinion based on an everyday usage if you can about the sound as a whole (Phone calls, Music, Speaker volume, etc...)
I know that the I9505 has almost the same spec as the HTC One which has a great sound reviews.
Is the I9505 far from it?
Thanks a lot!

I have i9500 and call / speaker sound is great and loud enoght but music is as usual like S3 which I dont like and use hardly (again depends on headphones like beats studio and any other good headset changes the sound to better )
Htc wins for music as per me coz i used htc butterfly and enjoyed listening to music clear high and accurate

Thank you for the response.
Any one with an I9505 Sound opinion?
I have to buy a headset for my Nexus 4, but i don't know which model
is better spending 40 euro shipping costs included (or shortly more).
Obviously it must have the microphone integrated with relative controls keys.
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my imperfect english

Mine N4 doesn't recognize control keys...someone can confirm it?
You can save some money buying just a mic+one botton headset
Yes, i meant a mic-one button headset.
Some advices? Thanks
I use Skullcandy smokin' buds. They have a one button play/pause/next/prev track, along with mic. Works fine with my nexus 4.
Samsung Stereo Headset
Samsung EHS44ASSBECINU Stereo Headset works pretty well with nexus 4 , I have it using since few weeks . Yes , it has the mic which works fine . Hope this helps .
how about using one button headset with analog volume control (slider) instead of three buttons headset with control keys?
is it still possible to control the volume directly from headset?
Sennheiser and Creative
Two headphones that I have tested to be working perfect on Nexus 4 are -
1) Sennheiser cx 275s(has an inbuilt mic and a call recieve/end button) but is a bit costly.
2) Creative EP630 ( no inbuilt mic/Volume control).
Maybe Philips citiscape uptown? they are a bargain for the quality

There are lots of good brands and you can go up to $300 or more depend on the models. Most of the expensive ones tends to be in ear monitors however, which isn't ideal, but Sennheiser and Etymotic are worth looking at.
For open earbuds, I use the palm pre headset which is cheap, but the sound quality is pretty decent for the price and its durable too: http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Stereo-Headset-Pixi-Pre/dp/B002CMEIW0/ It have a mic button.
I'd recommend something from sennheiser - they do good work. Don't have a specific model since I've been lazy and just using an Apple EarPod.
I personally love the Sol Republic Amps HD, but that's about 100USD, the Regular Amps is about $50USD, which is good, just not as bass-y. They are super light and super comfy in my ears. I recommend them for day to day listening.
I have since upgraded to the Munitio NINES 9mm ones, and are LOUD lol. Good headsets as well. GL!
I can also recommend you to get any audio technica or sennheiser...I really enjoy their headphones
Sennheiser cx 300-II with nexus 4, anyone?
Can anyone verify and tell me if Sennheiser cx 300 - ii prescision works perfectly with nexus 4?
I can recommend my Soundmagic E10M. It has the 3 volume buttons but the volume do not work, where as the middle button does work fine. The mic also works well and no one has ever mentioned about struggling to hear me.
I also have sennheiser headphones (no mic) and I have to say they are a top brand. Equally these soundmagic are great quality too so if you're going to get a pair, pay more for quality.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am gonna go for sennheiser cx 300 ii prescision without any hicups!
Honestly im dissappointed with the cx300ii or any low end sennheiser...the expensive ones are great but sennheiser is not that great for budget-fi audio quality. You want better everything i suggest looking at the jvc fx3x or fx101. Soundmagic e10 is also good along with audio technica ckm50

Cx300ii lack bass imo. My friend at school has a pair and he let me listen to them. Very dark, bass is there and accurate but no quantity whatsoever. Then i let him listen to the jvcs i had and now he bought them from me just because they are that much better. I own a pair of sony xb90ex which creates bass so real and wide it literally feels like you are in a movie theater.

I bought philips SHS8105A. It has got mic and controls. For the price the quality is great. There is a philips app that you can use to change the settings of control button and has an equalizer. This model is hook type but there are earphones too. I use custom kernel and boost the volume.
Recently got the Quad beats by LG and I love them compared to my tours. They sound significantly better and don't have the sound leak like my tours or apple buds. The mic is good for calls too and there's a play button that doubles for hanging up calls.
For $21 I would recommend these, especially since they block external noise for the most part and fit great in my ears.

Middle button actions for Soundmagic E10M?
Can you provide the actions that the middle button can perform? Can it activate Google Now (maybe by holding it down)? I'm thinking about getting these. Thanks!

I am using Viper on my nexus 4 and planning to buy Fiio E6. Will it make difference ? I mean I am already getting much more improved sound quality (and loudness too) using viper. I never had used Amp so I am not quite sure the difference I will be getting. I use Philips SHL3300 Headphone. Plz Help!!

i did a small research about amps BUT i have no amp to speak of. as far as my research goes, what i understand is that if you have headphones with high impudence (mostly expensive headphone in that department) or a headphone that is underpowered it will make a difference. with regular headphones i don't think you will see any noticeable difference except maybe bass and higher sound output. i would suggest to go to headfi forums and ask oyur question there. they will know. if i remember correctly there is a thread about your headphones, i read a review there when i was in the market for headphones.
P.S. there is a nice review on the fiio e6 and what can do and what you can except on headfi. the best forum for audiophile.
