about Sound ? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

hi
i have a 2 question about the mate 20 pro
1- Does Huawei Mate 20 Pro supports Dolby Atmos ??
2- Does Huawei Mate 20 Pro come with any screen protection ??
thank you

Yes it comes with Dolby Atmos for headphone use
There is no screen protector, in fact the screen is not even covered by plastic in the box, only the back is protected by plastic. There was no clear case as was seen in the unboxing videos following the phone launch.

Hi, you mean that I can use Dolpy Atmos with Bluetooth headphones? With the P20 pro I was able to use Dolby Atmos (and the equalizer) only with wired headphones.
Now I'm using a Galaxy S9 because I can use Dolby Atmos over Bluetooth plus the volume with headphones (both wired and Bluetooth) is higher that with the P20 pro. Can you tell me if the volume is quite good according to you?
Thanks!

And to think I paid £899 for this phone and they hadn't the decency to provide a case and screen protector. Seriously not impressed. Oh and don't start me on it not having plastic on it during shipping. Even my daughters Mate 20 Lite was packaged better.

Dolby Atmos isn't supported on my Bluetooth headphones but I don't know if that's the case for all of them.

Dolby Atmos support can't depend on the model of headphones you are using. So I'm almost sure it works only with wired ones.

Sennheiser earphones and HD

I just ordered the Sennheiser (CX500) earphones, should they fit in the 3.5mm jack of the Touch HD?
And to anyone who bought custom earphones, did you notice an improvement in audio quality over the bundled ones?

what about a hang up and play/pause/fwd buttons anything like that on it.. or is it just for music only and not talking?
I believe its just has a volume control on the headphone wire.
i have a Set at home Sennheiser cant remember the model but i dont like it.. i i want something with play/pause/fwd/mute buttons and get good bass and treble from it.. dont know which to get
I wanted a set of ultimate ears but I don't believe they make any models that have the mute or capability to answer the phone, like the HTC and some other models designed for phones....anybody have any good suggestions?
I would want some bass out of any pair I own...
jus orderd my Sennheiser CX500 headphones hope theyr better then ipod headphones that would be awsome!!!
I'm using Sennheiser HD595 with my HD and they work perfectly, so I wouldn't worry about CX500.
All the 3.5 jack headphone work with the Touch HD...

The headphones from my girlfriends' Nokia N76 don't fit. Although they're 3.5mm, they're too shallow to fit in the jack.
I don't like In-Ear anymore, so I use the Sennheiser HD 25-II. They are simply amazing!!! I can recommend them to anyone!
I have some Sennheiser CX400 MkII's and they're fricking awesome with the HD. You'll need to make yourself a custom setting in Audioboost, but play around and you'll find your sound.

Stereo Speakers?

All the videos that I've watched and articles that I have read say nothing other than that the bottom speaker is inside the usb port. Is the top speaker stereo, or just for calls?

Functional speaker for calls(low amplified) and music is high amplified at the top earpiece
Looks similar to the P20 Pro
It has stereo speakers as other phones but vol abit too low compare to Galaxy Note 9 even Xiaomi Redmi Note 5/Pro
Yes I have the phone it is dual speakers
The speakers are NICE!! Coming from a Pixel 2 xl.
I've only tested briefly, but played the sample music that comes with it and very impressive. No distorting at max volume, good sounding, nice enough bass for phone speakers. The bottom one is definitely the main driver but they sound balanced and quite impressive.
I have to say that the sound of the P20 Pro is better. Ihave bothphones so i can compare.
Regards
I have both too and will be testing tonight

Earphones suggestion for Poco F1

I have recently bought a Poco F1 and I need a good pair of earphones. I have a Samsung earphone, but I am afraid to use it. The last time I was in a Xiaomi service centre for my Mi A1, one of the technicians suggested me not to use Samsung earphones. He said the headphone jack on Samsung has a bit different shape even though 3.5mm headphone jack is universal. Samsung 3.5mm jacks are a bit narrow on the edge and thick at the bottom/end. Due to this structure, if it's pushed hard, the 3.5mm port may get damaged or loosen in a long run. After hearing this, I stopped using Samsung earphones (except Samsung devices) and now I am looking for a earphones which can produce perfect balanced music (not heavy bass or heavy treble). I was thinking of going for Xiaomi earphones, but the reviews are not good. Can someone please help me??
Thank you!!
I bought some Xiaomi Mi Youth earphones. Only about€5 and really nice sound quality (especially with the phone set to the right EQ for the earphones in settings)
Depends a bit on your taste, and the situation you want to use them.
For my home, I use a Sony MDR-10RNC, they are amazing in terms of sound quality. And I also got them pretty cheap, like 50 dollars, they were originally like 200 so I got a pretty got deal, sadly since they are also a bit old, like 6 years, you might have trouble to find them on that price.
For exterior, I use Bluetooth headphones, the Jaybird X2 you can find them also around the same price, or X1 cheaper, they sound quite great for bluetooth headphones, they are sweat proof, but I have use them on rains and never had a problem with them. They also deliver very good sound with poco, and to me they are very practical for subway or streets.
Hope it was from help!
Still using my Klipsch S4A II edition. Nice sound especially when listening to music with Viper4Android in it.
I am Using Apple Genuine 3.5mm .Perfect with "Mi Earbuds" in EQ Option.

You can go for sennheiser one they are bit costly but has perfect balance between bass & treble. crystal clear sound as per my liking.
BUT what ever you go, go with earbuds which provide buttons so that you can change the song using it as in MIUI there's no provision to skip song via volume button on phone.
Oneplus 1st gen is also good option. (it has mic & 3 buttons and good sound at cheaper rate, afaik sennheiser one with same would cost you around twice as much)

How is it?? I placed order and cant wait for it to arrive...
Btw im still use Piston 3 and S8 Akg earphone at the moment...
Some offbeat ChiFi suggestions -
1. KZ ES4 (about 14$)
2. Rock Zircon (about 11$)
3. Tin audio T2 (about 35$)
All of them can be bought from aliexpress/gearbest and more than justify their price. Currently rocking an ES4 with my Poco and very happy with them. Hope it helps.

They are excellent except the problem lies with the Poweramp or Pocophone being unable to play HiFi Flac files at 24bit via Direct HD.
I am using Viper4Android as main equalizer but havent tweaked it yet for this earphone as i am waiting for Android Pie Stable update for the Poco.
Keep your impedance low (true for wired earphones/headphones)
Good day, if you wanted to have better earphones just make sure to keep track with their impedances.
Keep your impedances in this range (earphones, IEMs, and the likes): 20 ohms or below, you can do up to 25 ohms max but that's really a gamble, I've seen that @prateekj1993 has posted a 25 ohm KZ ES4 and it works so I guess I'll adjust my recommendations up to 25 ohms as before I only suggest up to 20 ohms.
For headphones, you need to do lower impedance than earphones due to bigger speaker driver. You should keep your impedance below 16 ohms for higher peak volume, anything greater would make you crank you volume to max everytime as what I always did on my 19 ohms (passive mode) MDR-NC8 headphones. Active headphones with their own dedicated volume is an exception OFC.
Here's what I have:
1. KZ ZS6 (15 ohms).
2. KZ ZS5 (16 ohms).
3. MDR-NC8 (17 ohms active, 19 ohms passive).
I advice anyone posting here about their recommended earphones or IEMs to post the model name and the corresponding impedances. Thank you for reading.

Ohh man, i was really looking forward using that with poweramp...
Btw our DAC are not fully ultilise? Or Poco DAC sucks??
Well impedance is not a parameter for audioquality
If you have the money and you want one of the best planar magnetic inears: audeze isine 10 or isine 20
They sound like big overears of even like a soundsystem, amazing iem's i have the isine 20 and its par on par with the audeze lcd 3 bigger brother

I believe it's not fully utilized because the Direct HD used the 24 bit upon an update but unfortunately i messed it up by going into the Audio Settings of the Output which reverts it back to the 16 bit.
Otherwise the sampling frequency options work fine.
I recently bought the OnePlus Wireless Bullets.
Im really happy with those earphones so far
The magnetic functions work so far really well. Auto disconnect and auto connect work. The only thing that does not work is autoplay function when they are connected, but I wouldn't like it anyway.
They have a Type-C connector and Dash Charge.

WTF dude, did you just say that impedance is not a parameter for audio quality? Impedance matching is the first thing you should do when you want to match your speaker/earphones/headphones to your amp. Anyways it is known that Poco F1 can drive in-ears up to 25 ohms so your isine 10 and 20 (both 24 ohms) is well within range.
FYI impedance dictates the volume and also how the audio quality behaves all-throughout the volume range. If you match your Poco to a 32 ohm headphones, you'll have a very low volume output even at 100%. Audio quality is nil when you can't hear a decent sound.
Do you know what people does when they blindly bought 32 ohm in ears for Poco? They complain that Poco's sounds too low. You're lucky that your isine is 24 ohms if you have that kind of mindset towards impedance.
I'd recommend you to buy a good DAC cable first since the audio output isn't good for me. You can get Venture Electronics Odyssey for budget or Sonata HD II for a bit higher price range.
For the IEM's, I'd say go for music/audio shops and audition each earphones you find there. Each one has different preference depending on music genres and artists. I currently use KZ ED16 which has balanced sound signature in case you want a reference.

How is the audio quality through the headphone jack?

I read a lot of threads back when the Poco F1 was released and a lot of people complained about low volume of audio output from headphone jack and low clarity.
It is very hard to compare audio quality if you dont have 2 devices side by side.
So I request people who have the Poco F1 and some other phone like the Redmi Note Pro, Moto, Nokia etc to compare the volume and audio clarity.
If you have MIUI device use the same audio settings.
Can anyone please do this?
Edit: Sorry for double post. Thread was not showing up so I replied in the other post.
Volume was really low for a while. Now it is fine. Audio quality seems good enough.

What about audio quality? Do you have any phone to compare side by side.
The internal speaker and loud and clear. It does seem to be a good bit better than my Mi Max on headphone jack. You shouldn't have a problem.

3.5 Headphone sound is low compared to other devices ..
For my part, I'm really impressed by the sound quality of this device (for the headphone jack at least, I don't use the speakers for music).
I'm currently using a Sennheiser Momentum (Circum-aural, M2 model). I listen to music with it on my Honor 5C (previous phone), my Asus laptop (which has a great headphone jack). I'd say that, for a mobile phone, it's one of the best jack output you can get - which is especially impressive given the price tag of this device.
The crosstalk is pretty good, though the instruments are not as separated and the sound stage not as clear as on my laptop. The only problem you may face with this output if you are using high-impedance headphones, because the Pocophone doesn't have a very good output power.
That's all I have to say

What is the best budget earphone (below 20$) that can be used with Poco F1?? (should have enough bass and loudness)
With my samsung OME earphones it sounds very dry
I have seen some reviews saying KZ ES4 is quite good for the price?
will that work well with the POCO F1?

I agree. Pocophone has one of the most impressive audio outputs I have ever had on a phone. Besides my Pocophone I have both an LG G7 and LG V10 so I know how well phone can sound with quality output. the Pocophone is really not too far behind them. That says something. Some people confuse audio quality with volume.
With Mi Sound Enhancer enabled with the right type of headphones it sounds very well and then you can further tweak it to your liking with the equalizer that is better than the one on LG phones. Very good spacious sound on the Pocophone.

Which ear plugs do you like / recommend ?

Looking for suggestions of ear plugs / headphone to use with our S7's ? Microphone is not needed but just a way to silently listen to a program without speakers
DAC supported type C Headphone / 3.5 mm Dongle ? Or wireless via Bluetooth ?
Are all these dongle adapters compatible, like this one :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0828TV3XH/
I use the new ear buds live. Not the cheapest one, but good enough to make my son a gift with the BT Dr.Beast BT earset.
The beans are sitting nice and fixed in the ear. In this moment the best BT which I have had.
Thank you. So these are the best for tablet ? https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Wireless-Earbuds-Cancelling/dp/B08FT3ZMF3/
I've purchased these for headphones.
And I also purchased this if I want to use my older 3.5mm headphones.
Great. Thank you. Will order several of the suggestions.
I'm currently using Samsung Buds+ with both My S20+ & Tab S7+ which work great. ???

I couldn't say, that's the best one's for the tablet, but there are not bad....I can only make a compare with Dr Beat. On the tablet the ear buds live are better. Use the ear buds on a sony mobile, I received broken connection. Here the Dr.Beast are better. From sound the ear buds are better..but the Dr.Beast are louder without jitter, clipping ....
I've had these for a year and a half now and I love them. I use them with my phone and my Tab S7+.

Get this one. It is also DAC. Yes it is apple, but it works on the tablet.

If using bt go with the Buds+ or higher to take advantage of the SCC codec.
Or use a headset that supports LDAC.
For music listening though I heavily custom alter their sound profile with Poweramp's graphic equalizer.
