Is there a way to make the universal louder? If I hear on a IPOT of a friend it is very loud!
That's because ipods come with really crap tinny and sound-leaky headphones.
It's becoming a real problem on London tubes from the chirpy noise pollution.
I bought some shure headphones with a variety of plugs so I now block out most sounds and unless I turn it up real loud nobody is annoyed by my music. It's also very loud with decent headphones without a preamp.
Unlike gaypod users.
Inconsiderate scum.

Hello everyone. I have a problem with the sound of my iconia. The speakers croak when I see a video. It is an annoying noise. Is it normal or I have a defective model? The quality of built in speaker is terrible...
It must just be yours. Mine sound great! And the speakers were praised in nearly every review I've read.
Just got my Moto X Pure today and retired my M9.
I know when I was originally looking at the X Pure, the biggest question on my mind was how the speakers compare to the M9? I am relieved to say the Moto speakers sound pretty good!
What's different? The Moto speakers are louder - Quite a bit louder actually, maybe 50%, without any breakup. It doesn't have the same hi-fi quality of sound the M9 has or the noticeably richer low end , but it still sound pretty good. I was also using Poweramp, which has a really good EQ and I have it set to bump up the bass a little and knock down the mids (1k) just a little to kill the "boxy" sound.
Like I said, this was a main concern in getting a different phone and the main reason I've stuck with the HTC One series for so long....They just sound really good. But over-all, I'm REALLY happy with the Moto X Pure and it's sound quality. I think if anyone is unsure about switching from an M9 for this reason, don't let it hold you back.....And honestly, it doesn't feel that much bigger either.
Sound on this thing is awesome... First time I have owned a phone and had to turn the volume down on it wile watching a video. Coming from nexus 5

I never doubt the quality of the moto x style speakers, but great to hear that you are satisfied
Finally will be able to hear my ringtones without it sounding like garbage
How is the placement of the headphone jack, does it prove to be a bother and is it awkward. And how is the sound quality through the headphone jack.
When having a phone conversation over speakerphone, only one speaker is functioning. I still have to turn it down from the max volume. I fiddle with the volume a few times until it is at a comfortable level.

The output from the headphone jack is a little lower than the M9, but the M9 was too loud, when turned up all the way, and would distort the auxiliary port on my car stereo.... The MXP doesn't push it to distort, even full volume.
I haven't tried it through headphones/earbuds yet, just in my auxiliary port in my car stereo......It sounded really good (no better or no worse than my M9). I did mess with the EQ on my music player, but ended up putting it about the exact same way as I had it on my M9. I've included a couple screen shots of my EQ settings, one is PowerAmp, the other is Shuttle+.
I also noticed under Settings>Sound & Notifications...There is a setting called "Audio Effects", which is a built in EQ, I haven't touched that setting yet. This may be normal for ROMs based on GPe (stock Android), but I've not noticed it on the custom ROMs I've ran in the past, unless I used Viper4Android or Dolby.
As for the headphone jack, it's fine where it is. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I do wish it was on the same side as the charging port. With my M9, when in my car I would plug in the charger and headphone jack, flip it upside down and stick it in my cup holder in my car. With it being on top and the charging port on bottom on the MXP, I can't do that.......So I just lay it in the passenger seat.

Your car does not have bluetooth? I never realized this problem of headphones and charging cable on opposite ends because of bluetooth. I also always put my phone in the cup holder upside down with the charger cable attached....

Glad to hear this. I'm coming from an M8, which isn't quite as good as the M9, but I do appreciate the quality of sound that comes out of the speakers on my M8. If you've owned an M8, how does the sound compare to that? It sounds like it might be on par with the M8, but not quite as good as the M9, would that be accurate?

I personally liked the M8 sound better than the M9, but that's just my opinion (that's a story for another day, I wish I kept my M8 instead of upgrading to the M9)...... But the MXP is still not quite as good, but good enough.
I used a different player (Shuttle+) and messed with the EQ on it and got it sounding REALLY good through the speakers. I think if both the M8/M9 were sitting next to the MXP and I was looking at them, I'd be able to tell the difference. If I closed my eyes and someone held one up playing a song, and asked which one it was..... I'm not sure I could tell the difference?
The HTC One phones have a certain Hi-fi sound through the speakers, the MXP isn't quite there but is really good IMO.
I guess it's a waiting game before we can run Viper4Android on this baby. I know V4A makes a huge difference on my Galaxy S5. I can't wait to try out the front facing speakers. Real Racing 3 is going to sound epic
Coming from an M8 this was really good to read!

Hi I previously had a Galaxy Note 3 and went to this now I am trying to get used to the speakers. Is it normal for it to have a slightly..monoish sound like am radio compared to the note 3?they both have one speaker so idk why
Maybe it's due to the waterproofing ?
It's the waterproofing. Still, its slightly better than the Note 7 speaker.
Well, I would expect mono sound from a mono sound system. And it's a phone speaker, I never understood when reviewers complained they the phone speaker didn't sound great, what exactly they expected to hear. If you can have a phone conversation through it, it's doing its job
What's so special about these AKG earphones that come with the S8 and apparently cost $100?
I got $20 earphones from Pioneer and find the audio quality better & louder than the AKG which seem not loud enough sometimes. I tried to play with Equalizer but can't get any decent audio that makes me want to switch from my cheaper earphones.
My KZ ATES and ZS3 are better than most 100$ iems, and they cost only 10$ each

People said the sound improves tremendously after setting up adapt sound.
They are samsung headphones that akg worked over. I think they sound better than some highly rated ear buds, but I think most sound a little bit rolled off at the high end, while most think these sound a little emphasized at the high end.
Considering they are free, they are good indeed.
You can change up various settings and they sound good.
I also use poweramp and customise and tweek as required.
Try pushing them in your ears while you twist them so the cables face upwards. They lock into your ear canals and the volume and bass are improved quite a lot

Do you need to wear them backwards for them to fit your ears better? Left in right ear and right in left ear?
I'm happy with the sound from them but they slide out too easy for me, I might try some foam pads instead of the rubber ones they came with.
I think they sound great with adapt sound on. I used to think that earbuds couldn't sound that good because of there size. After using these I changed my mind and because I prefer the convenience of bluetooth headphones I bought the jaybird x3's which I love! They sound a lot better then the akg tuned headphones but those still sound great to me. Never buying over the ear or in ear headphones again!
