Can anyone who has the Axon 7, let us know how the audio quality is with headphones. I'm stuck between this and the OnePlus 3, but I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentums and if the Axon 7 can blow people away with a good pair of headphones I might have to go for it!

I'm very interested in this my self. The audio of the Axon 7 is said to be very good but I have yet to see any comparisons of just how it stacks up to other devices.
The OP3 has very good audio out put also from what I have read. It's said to be on par or perhaps a bit better than the iPhone and just behind the HTC 10.
I would assume the Axon 7 would be superior to the OP3 and not sure how it compares to the HTC 10. Though PC Magazine's review mentioned the HTC 10 was louder with it 1V output from the headphone jack. I'm a little disappointed by this. If true, it doesn't meant the Axon doesn't sound better. It just won't drive hard to drive headphone as well. Not a problem for most people and IEM, but I have a few hard to drive on ears that could make use of the extra power.
It should offer excellent audio from both the dual front facing speakers, that get very loud, and the headphone jack. That plus the high res display that is Daydrean ready makes it my choice over the OP3.
here is a little write up I found:
https://community.zteusa.com/thread/2110
I am anxiously awaiting my Axon 7, but I can comment on the OP3's jack since you brought it up.
My OP3 blows away my Nexus 6. My completely stock OP3 has a stronger output than my N6, which had Viper4Android installed.
No reason why the Axon shouldn't be at least as strong as the OP3.
I hope those dual chips can output some serious power...
I'm happy to hear the OP3 has good audio output! I would probably buy it right now, but it seems Oneplus is having stocking issues... "Ships within 14 days" is what it says on their website, UGH!!
Don't really like his comparison videos, but for audio, this is one is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz92h5JJxfg
Of course, that's only over the speakers and not wired. Wired it should beat pretty much anyone, based on the chipset being used.
Okay, I think it was actually my fault that there was an audio problem. I have been using an app called Automatic Call Recording for a few months on a couple of other android phones. I had installed it on my Axon 7 while I was setting it up. I uninstalled it and now my audio seems to be better. Everything is quite loud and actually sounds great. I can't use the earbuds at max volume without hurting my ears. Just don't use that app and you should be fine lol.
"I received my Axon 7 today and I can honestly say I am very disappointed in the audio quality. I was expecting the dual speakers and included earbuds to output at least good audio, and somehow I can barely hear anything from either the dual speakers or the earbuds even at full volume. I am extremely disappointed. When I watch a Youtube video using the dual speakers I turn the volume up to max and still the audio is very quiet. I made a few phone calls and could barely hear the other person on the dual speakers, earbuds, or normal earpiece. Idk if there is something wrong with my Axon 7 specifically, or if maybe there will be a software update soon to fix this, but this is completely unacceptable."

That's really odd. The PC Mag review said it was louder than both the HTC 10 and Alcatel Idol 4S. Have you tried messing with the audio effects?
EDIT: Never mind.
When I get my Axon 7 in the next 24 to 48 hours. I will post my initial impression of the Audio Quality/Power Output. My ASUS ZenFone 2 was average to slightly below in terms of power output. So I will know how good or bad the Axon 7 is in power output.
I was able to make my OnePlus One's dual mono speakers sound relatively decent with a lot more bass than they originally output (it was basically nonexistent until the volume is maxed out) using ViPER4Android. They sound almost like the iPhone speaker, which is decent enough in terms of bass and quality for a single bottom-firing speaker. I can only imagine what it can do with these dual front-facing stereo speakers.
Have the axon 7 and am had a little listening session last night.
Headphone ? : V-Moda M100.
Past phones with good DAC? HTC 10, Note 5 and S6 (Same DAC as note 5).
Compared to the others, the DAC delivers. It's a relatively flat sounding DAC so you get no shape in sound. Everything is clear and concise. The output is great. Drives the M100 fine but then again, it's a 32 ohm headphone. Using power amp (yes I like that better than neutron), I set it up to play music in 24 bit mode. Immediately with the AKM 4491 (axon DAC), you hear how crappy mp3s are. Even at 320kbps. High bit rate acc sound enter but with this phone, lossless shines. The difference is not like you'll dump your mp3 library but you'll enjoy lossless a lot more. Great stereo separation, fantastic noise floor, no white noise. Just clear clean audio. BTW this phone has two audio chips as mentioned however. One is for recording and the other for listening. The amplifier is the AKM 380. Overall very pleased with the sound. Better than the note 5 Wolfson DAC and hard to compare with the HTC 10 since I only owned it for a week.

Very good. Finally an actual first impression.
USB Audio working on axon 7?
Please If any have some usb soundcard or DAC player to test it with OTG cable on Axon 7.
Thx

Yes. There's a dedicated USB DAC Audio Setting in the Developers Options.

I think we all know this comment is B.S. !..
Have the one plus 3 headphone jack output is amazing. Looking at the axon 7 though
I am very happy with my HTC 10 for the powerful an clear Audio output it gives on the 3.5mm jack, DAC and AMP are very nice, the s8 is a damn sexy phone but if the audio volume and quality are still not on par with HTC...
It will be Exynos version (for my country)
Testet the ekg eraphones with s8 and after that with htc m8. Hands down the htc was supperior. Sound was verry good on s8 but...man the htc has a powerfull Dac.
Damn sammy!
They will never learn how to please audiophiles?
And htc is gonna ditch the 3.5mm jack this year :crying:
Edit: Now that Root is done on Exynos, anyone tried V4A to boost the volume?
I have the Exynos S8+ and still using my HTC 10 for audio as the S8 just isn't anywhere near loud enough Phone is awesome though
I have tge s8 and had the s7 edge before that and never ever noticed any issues with the audio. How loud do you like it to be? I am using skullcandy and have to say on max volume can't cope for long. Are you sure that your settings are correct. Noticed tgat Performance mode should be on to have a proper sound.
i dont know if any one noticed or not, but the sound quality is very very bad and level is very low, even cheap mobile from xiaomi ,and other brands have good quality sound output from 3.5 audio jack on their phone
Asus advertised about sound output, but believe me its very pathetic and not pleasing to hear music from earphone with this phone, guys just like there is a work around for camera, do we have anything to fix sound and music problem
please someone help how we can improve, what kind of mod we can apply to make sound loud and clear from headphone jack
hardware wise the phone is great but software wise worst,

Yeah I noticed this too, coming from Redmi Note 4 the sound on Max Pro M1 sounds kind of... muffled? Minor annoyance when I play rhythm game on mobile, cause I kind of need to hear the tapping sound. And I'm on the latest build update, so that means they haven't fixed it yet (though thank god they fixed the multitouch otherwise I won't get this phone).
Speaker sound is loud & clear, but headphone output is truly pathetic. I'm using 4 sound mods, and still not satisfied. There's almost no bass.
any one know how to fix this, as we know asus is not going to do anything for it
I read on Asus forum that one user solve the headphone problem by clearing the cache partition. Don't know if it work for everyone. https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/thread-217606-1-1.html
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the 's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Hi guys, can someone provide a little review of the speakers? Curious how the perform. I see it has dual speakers, do they sound balanced? Bassy or tinny? How is sound effected when it's on charge, given the usb port is the speaker!
Cheers
Tested in store

Speakers sound good, i feel the bass in them..But not the loudest.. With the charger in it just sounds a bit muffled but its not bad
i would like to know how loud sound in headphones is> huawei phones normally fall short in loudness in heaphones
I would like to know how is it compared to Samsung Galaxy S9+ or Note 9. Does it have Dolby Atmos settings?

Yes it does have Dolby Atmos as does the p20 and p20 pro.
I'm more interested in the headphone output where Huawei phones are normally dire.
But as it uses usb-C, the right sound quality should lie in the interested dac on the headphones, that also goes for usb to headphone jack, it lies in the dongles dac.
I use with the USB-C dongle and Sennheiser HD 4.30G, the sound is very powerful.
My Mate 20 Pro shows a crackling symptomatic whenever i do sth. that would emit a sound.
Even with the speaker disabled (vol. on 0)!
How-To:
1) Get in a quiet location & Turn down the media volume to 0 (mute)
2) Open any audio playing app (Telegram, Whatsapp, Spotify, Youtube etc.)
3) Press your ear against the USB-C charging port (if you hear some faint whitenoise coming out of it, wait until its gone. If you dont hear anything continue with 4)
4) With the phone still muted perform an action that would trigger a sound from within the application (play video / music, or send a message)
5) You should hear an audible *POP* sound coming from the speakers.
// If you cant hear it try this:
A) Get an audio file between 50-100hz and play this after you completed steps 1-3
(I tried toggling mono sound too)
If you still didnt hear anything i need to RMA my unit :S
Expected behaviour:
- The audioIC should not power up if the volume is 0.
- No crackling on normal audio playback.
Kind regards
Although the speaker is inside the USB C Charging port, it's still outputting loud and clear noise. Definitely can distinguish if you're listening to a song and then you put in the charging cable, however it's one of those things where if you started the song with the charging cable plugged in, then you wouldn't notice a difference unless you were severely autistic.
Overall, very nice speakerphone but not perfect. Would have preferred the speaker grill.
Only just picked up the device today after letting family member use my p20 pro... Yup it's all clear and doesn't sound too tinny but only gripe is the volume feels like it's a bit low even at max.. quality is pretty good and on par with majority if not better In my opinion that is..
gsmarena review is up, speakers are up to no good compared to the likes of Samsung and Apple quality

Hello.. Im just going to buy Redmi note 7 global version, but I've an important question that confuses me...
I know than note 7 has 3.5mm headphone jack. my previous device (mi 8 lite) had not 3.5mm jack, but the USB-C to 3.5mm cable had a perfect sound quality.
I have an HiFi Eafphone, but I don't know, that note 7's headphone jack will handle my earphone?... Is the smartphone has any dac/amp ?.. or it has a poor 3.5mm output with a low quality sound... I know power of the Mobile's speaker, but... How about the headphone jack?!.. please, someone help me and check this item..
Thanks a lot..
low quality sound at my opinion...
it's not "low quality sound" .. coz i spent the last 2 days searching for a compatible headphone (since i couldn't find xiaomi headphones) .. i found these
https://www.uk-mobilestore.co.uk/lg-g3-g4-premium-in-ear-headphones-hss-f530-black.html
they work perfectly with it and the sound quality is WOW
Xiaomi Redmi 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro are Powered by Dirac Sound Optimization Solutions...

I know... But, i need to figure out how is the quality with a HiFi earphone.., like Shure se215...
Far as I know dac is integrated in Snapdragon 660, so that is not bad. My tests show that output is louder than My Huawei P10 what was quiet, so output should be ok, remember that if You want good, loud sound don't use headphones over 32 Ohms. Sound quality is worse that P10. Sound is muddier, not that clean and rich, high frequencies are harsher. Sound by comparison can be equal to pc integrated sound card.

If you use low quality earphones, than it'll be low quality like your comment though.
Hi ! first of all sorry for my english xD
Got my RN7 and after some web/review read and investigation on the phone, the DAC is ensure by sdm660sndcard , and there is an Amplifier 10V (named MAX98927 in app but also read smartpa 98937 on web...) don't know about other built in DAC
The option "Mi Sound Enhancer" that could be found on "sound and effect" menu seems do very good job with the preset Generic and EQ on FLAT. (I don't like sound effect) Concerning this option I read about no sound effect/EQ but impulse correction/magnitude... I can't say exactly but the difference between the two sounds very like amplification... On Bose earphone 100€ the sound quality is crazy good
And of course disable basic audio player app and go for a good one (i use Aimp for exemple) with flac files
You can choose LDAC for audio codec, as well as aptx. Pretty good sound with headphones

Thanks friend. I bought Note 7 and it will arrive in few days
"On Bose earphone 100€ the sound quality is crazy good"... it's Good with "Mi sound enhancer" or without that?
And... I am using flac files with Huawei player right now.. if you right, the sound will be good in shure earphone too... And i hope so.
Thanks A lot for answer. :highfive:
With option enable sounds pretty good, i putted setting on "General" cause my earphones are classical (no intra) but you have to try it. Also there's an in built equalizer but i set it on flat (all on 0)
Tell us what you think of it after tried !
hello, the sound is very good with the jack. I use poweramp which supports reading 24 bit flac.

I found some interesting stuff regarding the redmi note 7. Snapdragon 660 uses its own integrated dac which is awesome. My headphone is IEM by Mee Audio Pinnacle P1 which has impedance of 50Ω(very high). They are difficult to drive by normal phones but redmi note 7 drives it well without any external dac+amp. Since it can drive a 50Ω headphone I think it can play any other IEM with ease.
I posted something today regarding this here

i have rn7
compare with mi8lite it's output quality not bad but volume is very less!! I'm disappointed ..both dongle and type c headphone on mi8lite are better ..so what i do?
change my phone with mi8 lite?
I use the RN7 with a pair of KZ ZS10 «AND VIPER4ANDROID» to play Spotify, Tidal and Deezer music and the sound you can get from it's just mind-blowing (obviously in my personal opinion)... The default sound eq is just trash, but you can do some great stuff if you know how...

If you use an external DAC you can use it on every compatible phone and it will sound the same, since the digital signal is equal in every case unless you use some sort of equalizer... So the DAC will sound the same in the Mi8 or in the A2Lite (just to give an exaggerated comparation)... If the quality of the sound is not good enough for you, you can use a Bluetooth DAC or a higher quality USB DAC with a better pair of headphones/earbuds
Remember, viper4android does magic and same is with rn7 (i use some jbl earphones which comes in the box with a lenovo phablet -probably cheap sh*t). The sound was not bad with inbuild sound settings but not really deep and clear. With v4a im satisfied
