Hi!
Which audio chip is built in Moto RAZR? I can't find any information. Only I know about audio codec TWL6040 by Texas Instruments.
I think that RAZR playback on headphones is a loooot better than on e.g. iPhone 4. I have installed TTPod, and I hear much more details... Better sound quality.
Playback on Creative Aurvana Live! surprised me. It finally judges that RAZR have better sound quality.
But i still don't know which chip produces sound...
I'd like to compare it to chip in SGS with Voodo Sound. But I never heard, how it plays. People says, that SGS with Voodo Sound is the best Android player.
So I'm just curious, how it compares with our RAZR's
I'd be really grateful for satisfying answer
I come from Galaxy s2 and now audio is much more better. But i feel that my ex iphone 4 was superior to both.
We need a supercurio's review
Sound quality is subjective really. We all have different ears, different headphones, some people use different players and depends on the quality of the audio you're listening to (bitrates, source etc). If it sounds good to you - who cares!
There is a list of the chips inside the razr here: wwwifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-RAZR-Teardown/7048/3 (add a . after the www). you can maybe work out which the audio chip is?
ST-Ericsson CPCAP 3.2 will be the one you're after, I believe.

Yes, audio perception is subjective, but, based on my ears, RAZR has better audio. I am using same IEMs, the Westone UM3Xs universal IEMs and Unique Melody Mage Custome IEMs for listening. RAZR has an audio signature or quality as good as my Sony Walkman NWZ-X1000; which is the best Walkman ever. Also better than N1 and SGS.
The audio amp power seem to be higher than any phones' I ever had, and it is really a good thing for me. Guess what, during phone calls, I set to MINIMUM, if I am using IEMs, and I find it still loud.
BTW, I am listening to RAZR without any audio effect or EQ.

+1 on audio power of Razr...
it's only took half volume from my defy to drive my iem
n you could try to install DSP Manager from CM to get more improvement on music quality
but, i feel my old defy with miui rom n miui player produce more detail n natural sound than this Razr, also the speaker sound crappy... i hope it will improve after burn in IMO

According to GSMArena, the audio quality is better that the SGS II, but worse than the iPhone 4

do not forget, in Razr, in the Settings -- Sound -- Audio Effects, you can adjust the loudness of the razr,
for me, I use Extreme Bass without 3D effect and bass are beautiful
By defaut, it adjusted on Great Bass
Bass is neat, high notes are discreet but not painful, best balanced sound reproduction I have heard since the W980(walkman maestro).....
I am using with an Audiotechnica IEMs and it is the best out there...
Dey u have to try an iphone4
On SoundMAGIC E10 IEM's RAZR owns :]
amazing mobile player, best I ever had (Nokia N73, N95, N82, iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4)
Other (better?) results can be achieved with a tweaking of the audio drivers (talking of the headphones), probably.

You're using good quality files and nice headphones I assume?
If so, I don't know that there are a whole lot of phones with better SQ than the s2. Have you tried poweramp from the market as your app? It has some a pretty good EQ so you can tweak. What's wrong with the sound? Tinny? Bass is distorted?
Hmm... I'm not sure with your s2. But my nexus s is really fine.. because of the high quality stock earphone, Google music (great EQ), and wolfson sound chips (best in the world), and my 320kbps mp3 or loseless format music, it just give me great sound.
I think your problem is you are using low bitrate of mp3. Try to get something around 320kbps will be fine.

How does everyone feel about the sound quality? BEATS rolleyes sounds ok, a bit "overblown."
The real issue, is that compared to my iPhone 4s; the rezound doesn't sound as good. It sounds better than my GS2, but I honestly feel like the 4s has better sound. Anyone else have any input?
I'm using Shure SE215s right now, they sound much better than the beats headphones or the Apple In-ear ones I have.
I think it may depend on the type of Music you listen to man. I listen to mostly rock/hard rock and both the Beats and SkullCandy buds I have sound awesome on the phone! If you install another EQ, I found using the HTC Music app it will screw with Beats. You can only use the alternate EQ outside of HTC Music, like in Google Music, etc. My phone sounded like absolute **** on HTC Music with both Beats and the other EQ on at the same time. Since most other EQ's run in the background, I didn't realize what was going on and almost got pissed off.
I listen to all sorts of stuff. I was lying in bed last night with three sets of headphones, and iPhone 4s, and my rezound. Comparing all sorts of stuff. The same parts of the same track, beats on/off, etc.
No extra equalizer on either.
I can only compare it to my iPod from 2005 and first gen zune but I think it sounds much better, honestly. I listen to rock only, though. I think the ear buds are pretty nice. I never really use earbuds because I use over the head cans for recording etc, but I think these sound pretty good on here!

Thats kind of my point, I wouldn't say the rezound sounds "bad" by any means. It sounds quite good actually! It sounds better than my GS2.
I just think maybe the iPhone sounds better. I will do more "testing"

When you're stating your thoughts, you should state at the minimum:
App you were using to play music
Beats on or off or other EQ etc...
What you were listening on
I want to know how it sounds when connected to a car or home theater system. My thunderbolt sounds just fine with headphones but connect it to a car or HT system and there is quite a bit of hiss included with the audio. This has persisted over multiple roms, kernels, and apps. I imagine the hiss is still there with headphones as well but the volume is less when using headphones. When connected to an external amplifier, the volume is maxed just to get a reasonable signal to the other device.

I stated all that? I tried apple in ear, beats that came with the rezound, and my shure SE215s.
I tried beats On and Off, that was part of my first post.
Just using the standard HTC music app and the standard iphone music app.
I use my rezound to listen to audiobooks on my long commute hooked up to the car, i'm actually not into car audio at all, so I wont' be any help there. I don't notice any kind of hiss with the rezound, I definitely had it with the garbage Bionic. I usually keep the rezound a notch below max and compensate with the car volume.
My Rezound has weak audio threw the speaker... not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Choppy, distorted and low, but it might be because of the type of music. Most of my music has a lot of bass.
The reason other EQs sound bad w/ BA enabled is because BA when on is a custom EQ setting. In other words you shouldn't mix 2 EQ settings together, BA(beats audio) is simply a EQ profile made by HTC or Beats.
what ace said. if someones using Eq with beats, then sigh lol...
but i don't have an iphone4s to try out, so i don't have a comparison..all i've got is a 6 year old ipod that isn't even a touch lol

'call quality' is comparable to the Incredible 2(and definitely better then the Thunderbolt), especially when using Skype.
'sound quality', not really an improvement per se, just they add in a custom 'Beats' EQ to the stock player to try and awe people.
all beats is is a custom EQ setting with more emphasis on lows + you can't even adjust the EQ to your liking. the headphones are ok for being throw ins, but the Bose headphones for around the same price have a bit better clarity and the bass response is a bit better to(just that the dres hit a tad harder).
I'm not trying to put down the phone(heck I bought one) or anything... it does have a really nice screen and performs slightly better then an overclocked Thunderbolt(probably due to Google doing a poor job with the dual-core architecture).... but if you bought/want this phone just because of the whole "Beats By Dre" bit, then you've been had sucka!
p.s. btw, the one thing Apple has done with pure excellence is iphone/ipod EQ. probably the best out there period.
i believe i read somewhere the beats eq is an active eq that constantly adjusts to compensate for frequency loss etc. if so, that's a nice feature.
I don't care who invented beats anyways, I love Monster's products, and this is one of them, lol. People are under the perception this is a Dr. Dre owned and operated business, wrong. It's just the branding, and like the above said, to awe people.

The external speaker on my Incredible sounded louder than the one on my Rezound, although through the beats headphones music sounds great. At times it's a little too bass heavy for me because I listen to a lot of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal and the bass drum and detuned bass guitar over power the guitars and vocals.

I had a thunderbolt before this and I hook my phone up through AUX input in my truck EVERY time I drive it. The quality of sound that comes from the rezound is light years ahead of my thunderbolt. Like its a night and day difference, even in pandora the sound quality is WAYYYYYYYYYYY better. I never had the hiss you speak of but I the sound was just super low compared to this phone. Yesterday we had my phone and an iphone4 hooked up through the AUX port in 2 different cars and it didn't matter what we played it sounded better on mine. I will say that the other two guys with me preferred the Power amp app over the stock music player with beats.

To be honest I don't care much about call quality. I hate talking on the phone.
I just figured marketing this phone with beats and audio and packing in decent head phones they may have used some nice hardware as well. I'd love to see a total teardown and chip li st.

Many thanks for the reply.
The sound with a set of Bose in ear head phones is phenominal.
It's not exactly at Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound levels, but it's definitely above average. Just make sure you've turned the sound enhancements off.
I use Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 IEMs on the go, and the good old Grado SR60i's at home.

I have never heard an ATRIX, but I found that RAZR's sound is pretty good (Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10). As said above, it is nothing like Galaxy S's Wolfson with voodoo sound, but it is AWESOME in comparison to Galaxy SII ****ty Yamaha DAC.
I sold my Galaxy SII specifically due to it's ****ty DAC, build quality and useless GPS. Razr is pretty slow and has a ridiculous screen panel (mine come with 1 dead pixel), but at least it's build quality is a thousand times better than any Samsung's phone. Oh, point to RAZR's GPS, it is insanely fast and powerful.
Well, I hope we get soon a nice ROM that sends all motorola **** to hell and unlocks the RAZR's true power.
Good luck with your RAZR.

Compared to the Galaxy S II, yes, it is noticeably slower.
Although I didn't find the S II's GPS useless, the RAZR is better in that regard, and I'd say it's the GLONASS support that does it.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
I didn't even noticed that razr has glonass... And I must say: this russian thing rocks. GSII gps may not be useless, but it is still worse than a lot of other cellphones.
In terms of speed, razr's boot is the thing that is really annoying and makes me sad when I remember GSII extremely fast boot. At least, when everything is loaded up there's no pain in razr usability.
I think that razr's slowness is a bit due to moto**** bloatware, but specially due to worse access speed between RAM and OMAP, when in comparison to GSII RAM and Exynos. I would suggest slower flash memory, but it seems that razr's flash can be even faster in some cases. I haven't any conclusive data to this hypothesis, but based on what I know, seems to be razr's slowness reason.
Well, razr is pretty new in market yet, so there is still hope for us in getting a better software, giving us a faster phone.
Think you've hit the proverbial nail there. Moto make lovely hardware, but the software on the RAZR is rather...odd.
Although if what I've heard is true, the RAZR was rushed to get product on shelves for Christmas, and was intended to ship with ICS - both the hurried gingerbread port from the Bionic/Droid 3 flavour of Blur and the decision to release a 'GSM variant' when both the XT910 & XT912 (appear to) have exactly the same hardware with locked down radios were apparently last minute changes. Or so rumour would have it.
On the Samsung front, the Note has GLONASS support and benefits enormously from it, so that should be the end of their positioning woes going forward.

I am wanting to know how it sounds through a pair of quality earphones with a good music player, preferably play Flac's.
The Atrix is very good but I wanted a larger screen. The razr ticks most boxes but I didn't want to take step backwards in the quality of music reproduction.
Can you shed some light?
just want to share with what I noticed today.was at a local shopping center, saw a stall selling mobile accessories, they have a casing for razr, which they claim improves sound from the tear speaker.I tried it on, honestly utter improves sound quality.
What it does is that it has some tunnels running around on the inside of the casing, enabling the sound waves to propagate to appropriate exit points, resulting in surrounds like sound.. It actually works.. But the price tag its ridiculously high.. So I did not buy it.. anyone else saw this housing? Some weird China brand.. Can't seem to find or on internet.

I have Razr, Atrix and Defy and I find they all have very close and decent sound(through jack), unless you use dollar store head phones, you might well be plugging into your butt. Speaker phone and ear piece, another story.
When I first listened to the razr with my Grado SR80i headphones, I was rather disapointed. After that, I found out the phone had some ****ty equalizer turned on for headphones. Once I turned that off, it sounded fine.

Cool, but which one has the edge, Atrix or Razr? Which do you prefer to use to listen to on a more regular basis?
Ta
Okay, i cant give the edge to either. Both are about the same volume maxed out and neither has more lows or highs than the other. I just blast my ears for 10 mins doing various hot swaps, and prolonged listening, to one intense orchestral song with some serious tones. This was a side by side, with same headphones, and eq options off using stock motoplayer with both set to volume one notch from full. I am not a bat or dog, but perhaps they could hear the diff.

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.

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

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) ..

i have to disagree. even with the built in amp, IMO, the ip5 blows this thing out the water.
speaker volume is much louder on the ip5, music output thru headphones is much louder and crisper on the ip5, and bluetooth volume and quality for music is much better with the ip5.
I still chose to get rid of it because I was bored with it, but I tested both side by side for a while before making my final decision. The ip5 is a superior audio device.
to be honest, the speaker in the DNA is amazing. it sounds 50x better than the rezound did, and it's finally got some more bass and low end like the galaxy nexus did.

Personally, I think the DNA has a better speaker after listening to both play the same song side by side. The iphone's speaker just doesn't have the depth of sound that the DNA's does. But whatever, I guess it depends on your personal preference. I really only use the phone speaker for the phone, and earbuds for music, so I'm not too picky.
The only phone that's safe to say has a better speaker than i5 is the Lumia 920, the sound is full and a lot louder.
But Windows phone is really boring.

Have you plugged up headphones to both? Im not iphone fanboy, I just know Ive had a iPhone 4s and 5, and AUDIO wise, they are superior to the DNA. Im not saying the DNA is bad, it is better than any other HTC device ive had, but even with beats audio, in MY OPINION apple devices hold a clear advantage. I even went and purchased a second hand ipod nano just to make up for the difference because I want apple audio quality but dont want to give up my dna.

i've tried bluetooth headphones, but the ones i suck are terrible..those LG earbud ones that a bunch of us got for free that time verizon messed up their site lol..they're awful quality in general, and i don't have any good bluetooth headphones to test with it
Alright I've done some testing of my own and this is what my opinion on the matter is being the audiophile that I am.
Speaker quality goes to the DNA for a few reasons. The iPhone5 has a very crisp speaker but that is quickly lost the louder it gets, this is not the same on the DNA as it's clear throughout the volume level. I feel as though the depth of sound is also better on the DNA (ex: a tom hit sounds like a tom hit on the DNA. Sounds more produced and false on the iPhone5).
Clear winner for Bluetooth headphones goes to the iPhone5 as volume tends to be quieter when using the DNA. Clarity is identical. (Tested using CD-BT603)
Now for the wired headset. Using Bose OE2, bass and treble is a big win for DNA as the sound produced is very big and very clear. Not that the iPhone5 isn't, it's just not as great as the DNA. Middles seemed to be just about the same and couldn't pick a winner.
All and all both of these phones create a great sound, but the winner in my opinion is the DNA. This was also tested with beats off as I have never been a big fan of the sound it produces outside of rap junk and maybe country.

I am glad that you agree with me
My point is proven again...but honestly the OP needs to do his own research because on this website you will find nothing but people who disagree and always want to prove other people wrong..I personally believe that the DNA is the winner but clearly we have people that think that the IP5 is the best.
So now that you have our opinions...I would do my own research and pick what you like best.
Objectively the iPhone has a higher quality sound, at least through the headphones:

OK so I just went to the Verizon store with my friend and we compared songs on the speaker of her i5 and the DNA and I have to say the DNA produces some decent lows and mids, it seems to have more bass thanks to the beats amp.
But still iPhone 5 seems just a little louder, there might be an app for the DNA to boost the volume without distortion hopefully
