Just picked up this phone. The first couple calls I would say we're pretty bad as the earpiece speaker was buzzing slightly as the other person was talking. I had it at a normal volume, not overly loud enough to blow the speaker or anything.
Just wanted to know if this was the norm or might I have a defect. Is the sound quality of the earpiece speaker just really bad?

Mine is very good, you probably have a defected device.

My earpiece doesn't sound too good either.
I was reading reviews of the phone and the sound quality from earpiece was described as "harsh" so maybe it's normal.

Hi everyone today I just sold my X10, and I'm gonna foucs on something other, like HTC LEGEND I red something abut the phone, everything looks brilliant, but I'd like to hear some opinions about the speaker ?? Is the quality of music and earspeaker good? In X10 voice from earphone was poor, sometimes I coludn't hear my caller, when I was driving car it was annoying.. The music from the speaker wasn't aslo the most powerful. It was a little quiet, and I'm curios about the situation in HTC LEGEND
The built in loudspeaker output is poor, especially if you're assigning an MP3 as a ringtone. I'm always missing calls because it's not very loud
The legend is very loud but because it sits flat on its back it really muffles the sound. Just remember to put it on a non flat surface or put it upside down. Is say its a design over sight

So finally what ?? As I can see, Legend has loud speaker but putting it on back mufles the sound and now it isint loud ?
Unfortunately, HTC is not very famous for the speaker sound quality. The speaker is poor and a free hands conversation is ... depressing : )
In direct comparison with the x10 the legend sounds much better. My friend has the x 10 and it sounds awful

I was completely disappointed when I first opened the package with my x10 turned it on and played the music sample in mediascape:-\ such as type of headset and so poor quality both from speaker and headset i don't need the phone playing like hifi but it must be audible outdoor, not like x10:-( s far the best speaker for me has n95 , next samsung Wave...

the speaker quality is okay when hearing music, as long as you dont turn up the volume too much
the loudness is good as well imo
but the headphones u get with the phone are awful...
It was a mistake to design the phone with the speaker on the back. It should have been on top (Nokia E71) or at the bottom (iPhone 4).
On top of that, the maximum volume is not very loud. It's too bad because the rest of the phone is great. But this flaw might just be a dealbreaker for me if they don't fix it ;(
Indeed the problem is as many have stated, that the speaker is on the back.
When the phone is lying on it's back you get about 60% volume decrease on the speaker. Bad design.
I can live with this though, i love the phone other than this, and the 3,5mm jack problem
I've kinda been lucky to have had 3 x10's through faults, but there's a but.
My background us that am a tv/ vcr engineer, and I've come across "fudges" to mask faults.
So here goes. All 3 x10's have low call volume. All 3 ear pieces vibrate/resonate at max ear volume.
So imagine if the in ear volume is increased further, more vibration/distortion. Hence low volume, lessons the vibration.
My ten penneth.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yep agreed there
mine does also
any increase is sure to make it worse at max volume, and it bugs the hell out of me 2.
So, now I get it! That's why on the promotional video, the babe was using bluetooth headset all the time, and never been seen using the phone earpiece for calling etc... We should all buy the bluetooth headset then. The only problem is, I cannot find that white bluetooth headset in the market, I've searched everywhere already...
I think cheapest solution is to have ears syringed regular.
Seriously though, it has to be the mounting of the ear piece speaker what's causing the resonance.
I'm 40, and I can hear it, so its clearly a design floor.

Every call i make or recive the voice/call quality sucks.. coming from T-Mobile I would expect more from sprint. Anyone else experience this? Is it just the evo, my evo or sprint?
Quality on your end? As in possibly a bad speaker? Have heard of people mentioning this, aka defective in some form. Or all around?
Can't say I've seen this, people sound perfectly fine on my end and I know I sound fine as I've tested. I can't say that the Evo has the best call quality because that may not be true, but best cellular device I've owned ... call quality wise.

Call quality is regular cell phone quality IMO. It is right up there with the other top tier phones. IMO it sounds better than the iPhone and on level with the Blackberrys.
Yeah, on my end. Possibly a bad speaker, but almost every call I ask the other end to repeat what they said because I have a hard time understanding. The volume is perfect just the quality.
I noticed bad call quality on my end too. Turned down the volume a couple clicks and it did the trick. The speaker was simply distorting on louder calls.

I did notice this..at the highest volume it was a bit much, ended up degrading the quality almost.
Might be an issue with the speaker though, wouldn't be the first I've heard. Then again, I haven't heard THAT many cases, but a few.
My last phone was TERRIBLE, so this is like a breath of fresh air.

Anyone else notice how the Nexus S speaker sound quality is a bit distorted, sort of like static but not really static? It is not that it isn't loud - it is. Rather, the sounds like the sound is not properly coming from the speaker, like something is blocking part of it.
Is it just me?
(BTW I am talking about the speaker in the back, not the ear piece.)

It must be my speaker, then. It is really bothering me.

Mine sounds fine... Maybe take it to a local BBY and compare ringtones on each? Maybe that could help you justify your decision.
Mine sounds fine too, although I'll admit the sound isn't as clear and loud as my Epic was.

I just did. Same issue on it. I am going to assume it is the same issue on all Nexus S phones.
I would say that on my NS the loud speaker on the back is quite good with amazing bass for a phone speaker, however the phone ear speaker is tinny sounding and very noisy in calls compared to my N1 because of the lack of the noise canceling 2nd microphone. It is a bit disappointing and is the main reason that I may return the NS and hold on to my N1.

Mine actually sounds a lot better than my N1 did. A lot louder that's for sure.
mine is loud and crisp.

People have told me that my phone is picking up tons of ambient noise when I am talking to them and my earpiece volume is pretty low on my end. Only complaint about the phone. Hoping that once the custom roms drop they will have the same volume boost i loved so much on my n1 cyanogen roms.
I first noticed it sounded a bit muffled compared to my Vibrant, which should have a similar if not the same speaker. I think it's just a tweaking of the treble that will fix it though... the Vibrant sounded a bit more tinny so I'm quite sure it can be adjusted with an equalizer to sound similar.

Hi guys I wanted to ask you atrix users about the phones speakers. This is very important to me my phone (nexus one) sucks in comparison to the iPhone 4 speaker. I recently was out at a busy restaurant and I had to take calls on my friends iPhone 4 because I couldn't hear a thing on my nexus (with pershoots audio boost kernel) to be honest I'm getting sick and tired of my phone now. I want somthing new and the atrix looks like the phone for me. One thing I need to to know betore buying it is if the speaker in call on the phone and the loud speaker is any better or similar to the iPhone 4 . I love android but I find myself finding more things the iPhone does better and for I need a phone that means I don't miss out on what my clients are saying. I really hate the iPhone I think its just a brand whores dildo but it can do the basic stuff my phone can do but does it better.
this pjone had the loudest speaker you will hear on a phone. That is one thing I def. Cannot complain about.
+1. It has a pretty descent speaker. Its definitely louder than iPhone4
The loud speakers are years ahead of the iPhones toy speakers.

Loudest speaker on any phone I have ever owned. I run it at half volume normally. At max volume it can get slightly distorted but is still understandable -- an excellent tradeoff for use in loud environments.
And using it as a speakerphone works great too. Very loud and even the mic seems to work fine for two people on opposite sides of a small table with the phone horizontal in the middle.
