Heya all,
my Mozart arrived earlier today (coming from Android, I'm loving how clean it is ), and whilst playing around, I couldn't help but notice on the sound enhancement menu thingy, that you can select either Dolby or SRS. I have no idea about either, so can anyone shed any light on which is better please
Alex
Give it a shot and try it out.
I prefer SRS. Enhances bass and gives the drumset a nice, clean sound.
But that's a matter of taste..
And please. Its an HTC Mozart. Take some Sennheisers or equal equpiment

I will get around to getting some proper headphones for it - all my decent ones have broken - and all within the same month :/
I was really disappointed at how bad the HTC ones that came with it were though... You know, with the fancy design and 'HTC Innovation' written down the side of them, you'd think they'd be at least half decent :/

I find Dolby Mobile is better for the speaker on the phone while SRS Enhancement is better when plugged in to speakers. I would assume it would be better for headphones as well.

I think so,when i use headphone,SRS is better
In my HTC Mozart
I use Dolby for external speaker, and SRS for headphones...
Everyone I show the device is impressed with the sound (in Dolby by the speaker) , the sharp and nice saturated screen and the camera....
My only point goes for the video recording, sometimes it takes to much time to focus.. as for the photos they are OK, the xenon flash is very good in low light...
This phone despite having a 3.7 screen should have a kick-stand...so you could see the clips and movies while enjoying the great sound..
I used SRS with my Bose QC3 headphones on the plane the other day, not too bad but not fantastic either
i have a HTC Desire HD pair with Ultimate Ears 600 Noise-Isolating Earphone...
bass and treble perfect with srs...
but
dolby better in provide surround sound effect...
wow i had no idea what great feature dolby mobile is!!!
comming from the homepage of dolby mobile:
http://www.dolby.com/professional/technology/mobile/dolby-mobile.html

i gotta get some dolby headphones... i dont think the included or my senheiser will enable ac3, but ill test out the surround untill then, gonna convert some dolby trailers, will hook yall up with them..
here is a video presentation:
http://www.dolby.com/professional/technology/mobile/mobile-demo.html
first let me get some info on SRS.....
here you go if you interrested, seems like some nice sound enhance company
http://www.srslabs.com/content.aspx?id=393
but nothing compared to dolby
Sorry, but the chick on the SRS page wins it over for me
Another vote for SRS. When SRS is used on my Creative headphones the sound is very crisp and real, Dolby is a bit too dull and vocals are drowned out.
When using the phone speaker I can't really tell much of a difference.
Hi guys,
Any ideas what would be the best music player (MP3) app and earphones to go with the S3?
I'm currently on the stock earphones, and it sounds kind of flat, even with live 7.1 switched on.
Any good recommendations?
Sony EX510
Sound magic e10
monster turbine gold (these are quite expensive but they sound amazing and have a lifetime warranty)
http://www.head-fi.org/f/103/portable-headphones-earphones-and-in-ear-monitors
The best will cost you more than the phone itself. It all depends on your budget, but that link above will guide you. Probably the best forum on earphones out there.
Best app?
If you're an audiophile and want the best sound quality then it has to be neutron player but that has a horrible ui.
Poweramp would be my second choice where the ui is more friendly and mainstream and the sound quality is still noticeably better than the maintstream music apps out there.
P.S every single person in that earphone forum will slam you if you even so much as hint that beats headphones sound good.
Monster Beats Solo HD + Play Music (v4.3.605.392829 (jellyBean)
very nice
I prefer earphones such as the AKG K324(P)
to fat headphones.
However the best earphones only bring so much if the Samsung-software has limitations.
You should get the Siyahkernel which ports the old Voodoo from S1 to the S3 and bring an awesome quality boost. Enabling Dynamic Range and setting Bassboost to "small speaker" further increments the experience.

This thread here is a review of 200+ earphones grouped into different price brackets for easy viewing:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...00-monster-miles-davis-trumpet-added-06-19-12
Pick your price bracket and read through the reviews of the earphones that fall in that range. The people in that forum are way more experienced in this area than the majority of posters here who will end up recommending you the wrong thing.
It's like going on a car forum and then asking them whats the best rom to use on your phone. The majority of posters would be of no actual help to you and you're better off asking people who are more knowledgeable on the topic.
Switch off 7.1. Majority of music for consumers is stereo so just 2.0. 7.1 would modify it further from the way it was meant to be heard. Also if you haven't done so already make sure your mp3's have a bit rate of 320kbps or are in a lossless format.
1. Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 Earphones
2. PowerAmp[1] Pro[2]
3. Your music in .flac
My combination exactly.
We have dif ears and taste in music... no one can tell you what's best except your ears... Source (S3) is already good sounding, what you need is a good medium (no lower than 256kbps mp3/aac or even loseless FLAC) and a good player app (Poweramp)... Headphones? its for you to decide... Music to my ears might be noise for you (example: most of people likes bass, a lot of lows... not for me, i hate artificial bass thats why i hate the Hiphop Genres and alike... im more of classical/jazz guy, so i have to choose what headphone that suits to my prefered genres) .. Hope this help

Hello,
I am in need of best quality music headset for my S2. Few years ago I was using Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and it was awesome to listen songs. Observed that S2 doesn't have that much sound quality.
Please suggest a music headset with loud bass and music clarity.
Thanks

First of stick with stock headphones and install viper sound mod found on xda and then here the bass. Viper is sooo good for sound quality.
Maybe you should check in the Accessories section?
Hey guys
Last week I had lost my xb90
So now I am looking around for a new headset i found these three
1- Sony MDR-NC31
2- Sony MDR-NC750
3- Sony Xba-a1ap
I had never try the Digital Noise Canceling headset so i am just confused about them..
Can anyone tell me that there is any difference in terms of sound quality between Sony NC31 and NC750..
Specially after updating to (MM 6.0) because Sony clams that NC750 will support Hi-Res audio..
Please reply
Thanks..

hiya . iv got sony MDR -NC31 , SOUND FRIGGING AWESOME , but iv got soundmod installed so its even betta than stock loll, dont seem to notice much difference when switching noise cancellation on/off, funny thing it took me a while to get used to em , coz of the funny shape of earbud s heehee
Thanks for the reply
Dose there is any difference in between NC 31 and NC750..
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
i've heard the nc31 doesn't have that good bass. which you probably love seeing you had xb90. it's why i bought another extra bass earphone instead of the noise cancelling ones. the reviews said NC works like magic but the bass is low

i'm using mdr-xb50ap. it's amazing. xtra bass but also a good amount of treble if and when needed. you can certainly get better ones with the budget of noise cancelling earphones. i wasn't sure about them so i settled for this and i'm quite happy. and sorry i took quite a while to respond.

I'll recommend MDR-XB70AP (INR 2500/-) ebay offer price.
@ present i'm using SONY XBA-A1AP (INR 6500/-) bought from ebay.
I got the SOUNDMAGIC E50 which are amazing looking and it`s an amazing feeling with that memory foam technology for a better feeling and more clearance and a better bass. a must have is the BASSULTIMATE v10 +beta33 SOUNDMOD for the Z2 MM! MUCH BETTER HEADPHONE EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ANY CRACKLING
I have used
SoundMagic ES18
Sennheiser cx180
and now Sony MDR-XB50AP.
I've used:
-Sennheiser Cx300-II Precision.
-Sony MDR NC31EM.
-Sennheiser MM30g.
-JBL T100A.
-HTC Black In-Ear.
-HTC Max 300.
-Sony MDR NC750.
-JBL T280A.
If you want good bass; I'd recommend Cx300-II;
if you want good mids; I'd recommend T280A;
if you want good upper tones; I'd recomment T280A;
However, if you want to listen your music the better, louder, richer, clearer way; then you need an HTC One M8 or another upper HTC device with the black In-Ear HTC earphones. Sony is really bad at audio quality.
As for the NC31EM and NC750M, the so called "noise cancelling" cancels the noice by making some "hiss" sound at a very low decibel so your ears think it doesn't hear anything from the outer world.
However, any of the JBL or Sennheiser in-ear phones have better noice cancelling than these headsets. Their microphones are on the ear sides, so the call quality is terrible.
As for the music, they don't give anything promising in their price-range, they're just "SONY" .
The mids are very loud, I mean VERY loud, compared to upper and lower tones, they just eat your ear on high volumes, even without modding volume levels.
So you'll be wasting your money if you buy one of these.

Wait, what? The Sony's are amazing at audio quality, I should know, I have an Xperia Z2. HTC's skewer the audio towards more bass, heck too much bass, they ruin the mids and highs completely. It was worse when they had the Beats Audio tech, but it was improved with the M9, I can only speak on audio of the M9 because that's what I had experience with.
I played 'With Love' album, some Above & Beyond, a couple of songs from Monstercat, and some Frank Ocean, and the HTC's boosted the bass way too much on all of them and squashed the Mids and Highs. The Xperia by comparison was more accurate, it did put less bass than the HTC, but didn't squash the highs and mids to get there. Granted, the HTC did sound louder and the Xperia was quieter in comparison, (used with Sol Republic Tracks V8, LG Tonepro HBS 760 and Samsung Level Active Bluetooth In-earphones. Heck, I even used a Logitech G230 Gaming Headset.) but in terms of how the songs project I'd prefer the Xperia because they sound more real and not artificial. Also, the Xperias have SIGNIFICANTLY more granular tweaking with the audio quality.
My friend swears by her NC31EM used with Xperia Z3 Compact, they do block out almost all noise (except when screaming directly next to her) and the sound is well balanced and there's a good kick of bass...
I'm using xiaomi hybrid, good sound quality per price but when I turn on fm radio all I hear is headset's microphone sound... ?

I liked Senheiser CX275s until I get the following from TIZUM. This one outperformed the all earphones i used. Excellent bass and clarity. I found it awesome and got for 799INR only
Guys try TIZUM All Metal Professional earphones
What do you think about the RN4(SD) audio quality? Bass? How clear is it? Is it loud? Ty for answers!
It's above average
It's loud enough for music and gaming....
Though sometimes you can block the audio from the speaker while gaming or watching movie....

Sound quality of Rn4 [SD] is awesome. You'll get some pre-defined sound settings to set according to your headphone or ear phone. I've tested my Samsung earphone with standard setting and the output was awesome.

Hi I am Rupesh from India and I am searching for best android phone for music and found redmi note 4.
Previously I have used redmi h1s and the sound quality was very poor I mean the sound from external speakers and headphones was very low and so can I think note 4 also does the same.
What does Rn4 [SD] mean because you're saying that Rn4 [SD] provides highest sound quality but I am going to buy redmi note 4 with snap Dragon processor. Does both the products are same.

Yes. "SD" stands for Snapdragon.
SD here, quality of the speaker is below average in my honest opinion in 2017, it is somewhat loud but quality is not good and forget bass. In headphones is the worst I remember using, there are some settings you can tweak to get a better sound quality but nothing major. If you want to get a phone for its audio capabilities don't get this one. Get a Htc or even a samsung...
For the first time I am hearing that redmi note 4 doesn't provide high quality sound. You have suggested that there are some tweaks and settings for obtaining high quality sound and so please suggest those settings or tweaks or atleast link which describes those.
I heard about sound mods like Dolby digital plus etc., which maximize sound quality and so please suggest about those. I also heard the term rockbox and so please suggest about it. Is it possible to install at a time two to three sound mods at a time.
Can you suggest best soundmods for redmi note 4.
I don't have used cheap devices before, this is my first cheap phone I buy New, my other phones were EX-flagship Used phones, I've had HTC, Sony, LG. And the quality of audio is way better on those phones. As of tweaks I'm talking about those build in inside on the settings of miui 8.
Install Viper audio and you're golden. My Note 4X has amazing sound via headphones with VIPER
