I only have 2 phone right now with front facing speakers, the Z3 Compact and the Idol 3. I've had the M7, 8 and 9, regular Z3 and I swear the Idol sounds the best of the bunch. I wish I had the other phones still around, rather than deal with my memory, but I at least put the 2 phones I have against each other. If anyone else has some other phones, please do the same so we can compare. I recorded them using an iFail 6.

They were both at full volume, btw.
I compared my Desire Eye, M8, Moto G 2014 and Idol3 simultaneously and must say that Idol3 is the loudest and fullest; however, the quality and richness on M8 and Desire Eye were superior in that order, imo.

No problem!
I came directly from the HTC one m7 and these speakers are noticeably louder.. Probably slightly louder than the HTC one before an early update that limited volume. The sound was a bit better on the m7 but the sound on the idol 3 is still quite nice and the volume boost puts them ahead of the m7 overall for me
The idol 3 has crisper louder sound than my M8 but the M8 had better low range and bass. I'd say the idol 3 is better in louder environments and the M8 is better in a quieter setting.

You do need headphones plugged in to act as the antenna, but you can direct sound through the speakers by clicking on the Sound icon at the top of the Radio app. This will only work after headphones are plugged in.
Compared with my Sony Xperia Z3, idol is freaking louder by a bunch
I recently sold a Nexus 6 and picked up this phone shortly after. I think the Idol 3 speakers are better. I have very limited experience with the HTC One series, but IMO front facing speakers are very overrated.
You can check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTySFL6_fO8
Seen it a few days ago was surprised how good the Idol 3 speakers are. I have a G4 it is loud but the Idols is louder to me and just sounds completely better.

Hi,
How is the sound of the speaker?
Is it louder than the HTC Desire HD?
Thanks
Daniel
Not sure of the Desire HD but it's a hell of a lite better than the one on my Desire.
It's a little louder but the sound is clearer, less tinny and overall a crisper range.
DHD is crap! Compared to my Dell Streak anyways
Do not mention even Desire HD. I am not a user of SGS 2 but I am pretty sure there is no other companies than HTC can prodecure a lower speaker phone than Desire HD. That was my one of the main reasons to sell Desire HD.
My Desire Hd was crap UBER CRAP! i hope SGS2 is better, any improvment is a +, also curious if its better than iphone 4 speaker as that was my most recent device, anybody know? thanks
Do not expect too much from mobile phone speakers, as they can not have that good quality because of their dimension and form. IMO every mobile phone has bad speaker quality (never had one with good).

Comparing with Dad's iPhone 4 I'd say it's on par if not a little clearer. It misses all the low-end bass but it's not meant for music and the speakerphone quality is ace.

Its quite astonishing that no one is talking about LG G4's sound quality over the headphones while other flagship devices like HTC One (M9), Samsung Galaxy S6, Sony Xperia Z3+ etc. are being talked about a lot in terms of their audio quality over the internet. While GSM Arena is saying that the audio quality is a step back from the the previous G-series I'm not really sold. Actually I've stopped trusting GSM Arena after their mediocre reviews on Sony flagships over and over again which actually do sound better than samsung flagships in many aspects (GSM Arena tends to excessively flatter samsungs' audio quality. At least I think so.)
So, I was wondering If the audio quality of G4 over the headphones is really that bad as the GSM Arena guys are saying? I'm not concerned about the speakers at all. I'm on a Sony Xperia Z3 right now. But was considering buying a G4. As a music lover sound quality is something that is a must for me and Sony tends to satisfy me all the time unlike HTC which is all about volume output and produces exaggerating (sometimes crappy) bass and harsh trebles.
So, I want to get feedback from actual users who are using G4 as their prime music listening device. How does it sound over the headphones? Is it punchy or just dull? What's about the bass and the clarity? Any reply would be helpful. TIA.
The Audio Quality on the LG is by far the worst Ive ever heard lol
It sounds cheap.
I had iphone , Galaxy S4, Z3 and now the G4.
While iPhone 4s and Z3 had an awesome soundquality the S4 was something in the middle.
I heard mixed reports on G4's audio quality, some people liked it even more than M9 and others hated it.
But what about max volume with wired and BT? My M9 has exellent audio quality over BT but the sound volume could take an extra 30%, I hope G4 has a louder BT.
Is viper4android making the G4 sound quality better?
I have just moved from an xperia z3 to the lg g4 and the only reason being sound quality and a superior display. The sound quality is better than z3 in terms of loudness. Clarity wise Sony was better for me but a good sound mod can fix that im sure. Been 4 days since I bought the LG G4 and the sound is much much louder and I love it
U can enhance the sound with Viper4Audio but if the soundprocessor is crap there is no way around it.
Don't get me wrong, the G4 is easy to handle, has an awesome Display and I like it and will keep it.
And this thread is about soundquality not loudness.
For the Z3 are countless mods to make the sound louder.
Btw. for me the is no difference in loudness between Z3 and G4
Owner of an international G4 H815 and an international S6 Edge. Also an audiophile, and as tests I used my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, Shure SRH-750DJ and AudioTehnica M50x.
Overall the G4's sound was worse, the bass sounded like crap and the overall sound was as if it compressed my music to 128kb/sec. Poweramp, Google Play Music and LG Music Player used for tests.
To achieve my perfect sound with any of the headphones above, on the S6Edge it took less than 5 min in Viper4Android. On the G4 I'm still searching for it, haven't been able to fix that horrible sound of the low frequencies in the past week since I purchased the phone.
And don't even get me started on the Sony Z series, they're just as bad as a 10$ mp3 player
Agree, but not with the Z3. I like the clear and precise sound especially for electronic music. If it would not be made by Sony it could be good [emoji14]
If u find some good Viper settings for the dumb bass I think a lot oft ppl would appreciate it if u share.
Tiene mal sonido entonces? Ahora mismo tengo un meizu mx4 pro y su sonido es increíble en todos los sentidos, se nota que tiene un buen DAC.
Queria comprar un lg g4 pero me da miedo que el cambio se note mucho

Damn!
I don't want to switch from my M9 to G4 if the sound is crap.
I use my phone as my primary audio source in my car and for sports.
Better take a Note 4/edge then
What do you think about BT with Apt-X is there a really difference between all devices ?

Nice to see someone post and be interested in the sound quality. Me as an audiophile and sound engineer and always hunting for the best sound quality money can buy. Keep in mind the reason why customers say the lg sound is bad is for the reason that It doesn't have the spiked up eq like the Samsung and HTC devices being bass and treble out of the box with maxxed out volume capabilities getting the audio chip to got even over its limit just buy tweaking the software. LG on the other hand leaves the sound natural and flat, along with limiting the maximum volume to retain the clarity at full blast on all the frequencies. Sony has done a terrific job in their audio for mobile as well. I always stay away from Samsung and HTC on that aspect. LG sound is flat with good extensions of sub bass and highs, bass is tighty yet punchy, mids and voices aren't recessed nor foward but all just right, and highs are very well extended for that clarity but can be a bit sharp depending song. Instrument separation is by far very very good with sound stage fairly big. Compared g4 sound with s6 and m9 and sony. S6 and m9 made me want to puke. Sony made me want to keep the phone but the g4 was exactly the same but a bit better in my opinion plus the much more features. Hope this helps. Always keep in mind that the reason why consumers say g4 is wack sound is for two reason for it one doesn't have ear bleeding volume, and two that it isn't heavy bass be treble like the s6 and m9. Bluetooth sucks on the g4 in sq for some reason. I suggest you go to a carrier store and try all three phones with your own set of hp
I prefer the sound of HTC ONE M7 than my new LG G4. But I want to know if there is a difference between all devices in Bluetooth Apt-X ?
Otherwise I listen with Jetaudio and PowerAMP, and play with EQ.
Edit : I asked because my bluetooth headphone is broken so...

Well, I have some hopes now. At least someone is saying that G4 sounds better.
I'm coming from an S6 edge and max volume on the m9 seems to be only around 80% of the max volume that the S6 edge had. Side by side comparison the s6 seems much louder especially when it comes to notifications.
Just trying to figure out if my unit might be defective or if its normal.
I tested this on stock, currently on ViperRom
My wife's Note 4 goes a little louder than my M9, but the sound quality from my M9 is much better.
Yes, no question that the quality is better on the M9, but I just figured with two speakers, the volume would at least be as good!
My phone is plenty loud.. it usually also depends on the kind of content and its source.
Test a youtube video and then figure if you really have problems
for me M9 sound is second to none. probably its best feature.

I had exactly the same thoughts when I first heard the sound of the M9. It's crystal clear and distortion-free, but compared to the M7, it's not as loud through the speakers. No biggie though.
It's definitely louder than the M7 but not as loud as the M8.
It is definietly louder than m8. I don't know how it's compared to the m7

The sound is no louder or quieter than the m7. I have compared them side by side. Nor is it any better or worse quality. It would seem they are exactly the same hardware and setup.
Another comparison is the screen being washed out on the m9 but slightly sharper. Shifting the colour adjust to the red spectrum seems to negate some of the difference while staying sharp, but I'm digressing..

I wouldn't say I was a proper audio file but the audio on the z5 is good its really clear and louder than previous Z phones but once again sony have missed the loudness trick.
After reading GSM arenas review of the C5 ultra and the M5 saying without headphones the volume levels were 'excellently high' and with headphones they fell to below average on the C5 and fell on the M5 too but it was so high on the M5 to start off with that that it still remained a good volume. So this means that the M5 is louder than the Z5 range, I had high hopes for the Z line then they tested the Z5C and it just got a average.
According to GSM Arena.
Audio quality has its ups and downs
The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact did a very good job in the first part of our audio quality test, where it's connected to an active external amplifier. The scores it got were great top to bottom but it only matched them with an average volume level so we can't quite call it perfect.
Plugging in a pair of headphones harm the stereo crosstalk but it remained decent, but it also introduced a bit of frequency response deviation and brought the volume down a notch. Not too bad of a showing, but certainly not one worth bragging about.
I can't consider myself an audiophile but I will say the Z5 audio is an.improvement over the Z5 in both clarity and volume. It doesn't approach ZTE Axon level of quality and HTC M9 volume but it is adequate for the casual listener. I have dsee hx switched on which disables all other audio settings.

Exactly, well stated.
Coming from the Z1 it's a massive improvement on just about every level: Cleaner, wider and louder. It's very good, I'd say - I've certainly enjoyed listening to music on it very much!
"Loud enough"? How loud do you need it to be? Any louder than it is and I'm sure you'd hurt your hearing: it's plenty loud.

Of that I have no doubt but do people put those phones to max volume? Do they need to? The ability and necessity are two separate things.
The Z5 is plenty loud for just about any headphone need, so far as I can make out. I'd certainly never put it to max.
Allright, so I purchased the graphite black Z5 yesterday. I have done some quick listening to the audio out of the jack through my ATH IM50 in ear monitors and haven't broken in the hardware yet. But I can definitely hear a difference from the Z3. All over the sound is very clear, it seems like a good separation and I can definitely get some really smooth low tones and crisp higher tones as well. I haven't been fooling around with the EQ yet. But feel like I don't need to.
About the loudness, I feel it is louder than the Z3 and very much loud enough to run a pair of good IEM's like the IM50's. I am listening now and have the volume two down from maximum. Probably won't be as loud with some big headphones. But any a person with a little self respect will have a headphone amp for that purpose. :good:

Fair enough for me its the bigger expensive headphones that make the difference with less expensive headphones like in ear or on ear it is never loud enough, in a busy street i still can hear noise around me.
I know some people who do have them on max volume definitely. I always had my note 4 on max volume and my HTC M7 and my 6S but only with lesser expensive headphones on headphones £200 and over no need to but even when are not at max they are still louder than Z5 at Max volume. Each to their own at the end of the day but sometimes its not always practical for me to carry around my larger headphones so I use in ear ones than I can just put in my pocket.
Hi,
I'm also trying to squeeze perfect sound from android. I use this portable DAC
http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audioquest-dragonfly-v12-usb-dac/
via USB OTG cable. For playback I use "USB audio player pro". It can stream very high resolution audio files. At the moment I'm listening music on Audio technica ATH M50x headphones.
Sound with external DAC is a way better than directly from audio jack

That's unfortunate. One of the reasons I sent back my iPhone 6s, and opted to get a Z5 Compact is because I didn't think the sound of the 6s was much of a step up from my iPhone 4s. I was hoping the Z5 would be louder and fuller, especially for in-ear headphones at the gym. Might just be the headphones I've been using though. Maybe an upgrade in that department would resolve any potential issues I might have with the Z5.
I use sennheiser mm50 ip in ear phones with poweramp set to rock preset and to me the sound is nice crisp quality at loud enough volume levels

@TordFuglstad & @Timaustin2000 I've been enjoying your camera works (on 'that' thread) very much. Maybe you guys could post on the 'regular' photo thread at times
Don't get me wrong, guys. Before dropping > $100 on a pair of cans, maybe an 'audiophile' should get a cheap $50 DAC first. But it's not very convenient - we all know. That's why I'm looking at LDAC for the first time (wireless SQ is usually terrible compared to wired). LDAC could still be over-hyped, I'm willing to give it shot for the first time. But I can't find too many LDAC headphones to choose from. Any suggestions?
I read that there is no custom DAC in the Z5 (vs. Z3), but they added LDAC support. Unfortunately, I can't find almost any headphones that support it. I was really hoping they would have added it to the SBH bluetooth line by now.
How does the audio quality compare to HTC Butterfly s (which I have now) or I9505 Galaxy S4? What about HTC M9 or iPhone 6?
I take GSMArena's results with a grain of salt. I bought the Butterfly s partly based on their review saying the volume was loud and that there was no distortion. Unfortunately, while the audio quality is great at medium-high volumes the bass distorts above 12/15, and there is hissing with IEMs.
My questions are 1) do these hiss? and 2) do they distort with bass? (test track would be Daft Punk - Touch)
I'm a hardcore SONY audiophile, and while the Z5 is fantastic, the Walkman ZX2 is still by FAR my favorite mobile music player when coupled with the XBA-Z5 in-earphones ( made in Japan ) and/or Z7 headphones ( made in Japan) by Sony,
followed in close 2nd place by the newer less pricey ZX100 Walkman, which is a step up from the A series.
Lol even the A series is stomping on the Z5. No point to compare it to the zx2/1/100

Hi,
I have owned lots of phones. Speaker quality/volume for podcasts and audiobooks is important to me. I thought the M9 and M10 were too quiet and prefer raw volume over pure quality if it's a straight fight. Things like the iPhone 7+, Pixel XL are fine for me.
From what I hear the U Ultra isn't loud and is a further regression over the M10? Is this true? It would be a EU model live in UK) if that changes equation at all.
Thanks!

I have yet to make a comparison between different phones but so far it has been loud and clear. Although I have to say that it's disappointing compared to built-in BoomSound speakers from past HTCs in terms of quality..

Hey mate,
not sure where you heard that from, The U Ultra is louder than the 10 and the Pixel XL, easily. I have all 3. Also the quality is on par with 10 and miles ahead of pixel XL.
U Ultra is definitely louder and clearer than HTC 10.
Thanks all for feedback. It's £650 in the U.K. Which is really expensive. Hopeful for some kind of drop/offer but unlikely to happen before S8 etc launches I guess..?

Dont Buy an S8.. if you use the live speakers for PodCasts and audiobooks, youll be disappointed.. as Samsung, like SONY cover their speakers with a waterproofing giving it a thin, reedy cheap sound,
even if Sammy do use Wolfsonn DACs for their Pre-amp headphone stage, the waterproofing kills the live speaker
