FM radio reception quality - AT&T HTC One (M7)

Per title do you need to have the headphone plugged in to get the reception and how is the sound quality compared to mp3 or pandora streaming? Does it sound better through boomsound vs. the beat headphone? I meant this to be on the ATT HTC One forum and not the T-mobile forum.

Yeah you do need the headphones for it to work. Beats audio doesn't work with FM radio. And it doesn't come with beats headphones. At least mine didn't.
The quality is OK. not great.

Does the "beats" equalizer work with Pandora?

I listen to Pandora a lot and I plan on getting this phone tomorrow. I just was wondering if the equalizer works with Pandora and how the equalizer works in general with the ear buds. Thanks.
The EQ works for the entire audio output of the phone through the headphone jack, so it would affect pandora as well I would assume.

I've read reviews that say the Beats Audio is only available in the HTC audio app.
I believe Beats is only for the HTC music app, other apps will not have beats audio enabled.
just use Equalizer

It does not work in Pandora. Only in the stock apps like the HTC music player. Maybe it will be added to other apps in the future, but I doubt it since it's rather specialized to one manufacturer of phones right now. I have heard of very good EQ apps like those posted in this thread though. I really don't think the Beats EQ setting is so special that it can't be replicated pretty easily.

I never listen to music on my phone with headphones anyway, just through the aux on my car stereo. even then I set eq through the stereo anyway. headphone wise I just use them with my ipod touch when I'm at the gym.
Picked mine up Monday.
Beats only activates when playing through the HTC music app and Headphones (any) are present. Sound is more Robust with beats activated, and much louder.
I was surprised at how much louder the audio became. Many times I've longed for more head room on my iPod or phone. Please be warned at High Volumes beats can cause hearing loss. I hope Dr. Dre and HTC put a disclaimer out there somewhere.
Maybe they only tested the software with the iBeats included.
I will checkout Pandora, never used it on mobile since it was not supported well on WM6.5. I did checkout Slacker, and it was the worst sounding crap I've ever heard. Anything that resembles bass has severe clipping. Haven't tried the beats earphones yet as I have a nice pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pros, as well as a pair of Klipsch image S4's.

Actually it does work. Beats Audio is activated as soon as you plug in headphones. What you cannot do is control the EQ Curve in Pandora so you receive the default "other" setting.
If you get a sense 4 Rom it works great

Audio Quality on the Razr

How is the audio quality on the razr with heaphones. I reaaaaaally like the phone but I currently have the revolution and its audio quality is literally poop. Anyways, its between the Razr and the Rezound and while I don't like the Rezound's response issues, Im tempted to get the rezound for the beats. Has anyone listened a great deal to music on the phone yet? Im a student and I listen from my phone a ton. Thanks!
I don't have a decent set of headphones to test this out for ya but for what it's worth the external speaker is by far the best sounding phone speaker I have ever heard. Hopefully the headphone delivery is just as good. I'll play around with the different headphones I have kicking around.
It's quite nice, and there's a few preset equalizers in sound settings to play around with.

Ill +1 you right in the face about the speaker, ive had speaker docks that dont sound as nice as the Razr, and i aint kidding
I total vouch for the audio on this phone even to the point where i tested it against the Sensation XL with beats and the beats headphones and imo the razr actually sounded better. using the same beats headphones.
The audio quality through headphones, by Pandora, was as good as any other Moto phone I've had, but the same can't be said for when I plug the phone into my car stereo/s auxiliary port while streaming pandora. It seems like the signal is weaker, and there is some software trying to compensate, which flattens the music and adds a tinny effect to the highs. This is the only real setback that I've experienced with the RAZR, and I'm hoping to get a bluetooth stereo and stream that way, if it is any better. Streaming Pandora through the Bionic in my car sounded full and amazing, I really miss it.

I've ever used my phones as MP3 players, Milestone was the best prior knowing the RAZR sound.
well, today my phone has gone into an endless boot and Im fed up with the revolution. I called verizon and they offered me an early upgrade and since Im a tad strapped for cash, I went with the bionic. Hopefully the audio quality is better than the revo.
I am very surprised to hear anyone say they enjoyed the sound from the razr, i came from an HTC incredible and the sound of the razr was very disappointing. I use pandora thru an AUX port on my deck and literally i can't listen to music on the razr, its that bad. muffled low voice sometimes i can't even hear the voice at all! Ive tried playing with the audio settings and shutting it off completely to no avail. Ive been tethering to an old 3GS iphone witch of course sounds crystal clear perfect.
I have no interest in rooting my phone since you can tether without it but im seriously contemplating it just to try and possibly fix the sound issue with beats.

I have only found the headphone audio inferior to my HP envy 15 beats computer but there is a app that installs beats audio on the razr making it equal on the amazing quality.
i use a pair of etymotic hf5's and the audio out from thr razr is not too shabby. It doesn't sound as good as my ipod video 30gb with the Wolfson dac but it sure sounds better than the audio out of my nexus. As long as you have some decent cans, it should be comparable to most handsets. If its too muffled/quiet the razr probably doesnt put out enough juice to power the drivers in your headphones so you'll need to buy an amp. Pick up a fiio e5/e6 for $30 and you should be set.m
Qualityis also subjective and depends on what headphones you have and what type of music you listen to. I damn nearly cried the first time i used my HF5'S while listening to Pavarotti because it sounded so good. If you're a serious audiophile, id suggest you invest in an ipod classic with a lod cable, a decent pocket amp and a nice pair of audio technicas, grados,sennheiser, beyerdynamics etc.

The audio quality from RAZR is very decent. Low noise, relatively good power output to drive earphones better. I am using Unique Melody Mage; quad BA drivers custom IEMs, and very satisfied.
Sound signature : It has a bit bass bump, nice mid, and a bit softer treble
Bottom line, try it with a good earphones or IEMs, for better result.
Thank you

Audio Quality

Does anybody notice an increase in audio quality?
I'm interested in the rumors that htc improved the s/n and Dac. i use my Evo 3d and a Cowon J3 as my PMP's and would love to use just new Evo if it has improved.
please leave the Beats™ comments/bashing silent as I'm interested in the hardware improvements
I noticed that the Audio Quality is drastically better than my EVO3D. If you had the EVO3D you would know its speaker phone was utter trash and the volume on the regular speaker when holding it to your ear was also weak as hell. Never the less I know that the Noise Cancellation is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the EVO3D as well. This helps people hear you VERY well when your in the car. My Wife and I both have EVO4GLTE and calling between us while in the car with road noise is way more audible.
Don't want to hijack this thread, but my question doesn't really need it's own thread...
Do you need to do anything to enable beats, or is it on by default? As a secondary question, do you need to be plugged in to headphones for it to be on? Thanks.
@ john
I think you need to have something plugged into the headphone jack in order for beats to work.

Beats is a built-in feature. The equalizer comes into play whenever you plug in headphones or (I believe) sync a bluetooth earpiece. It doesn't work over the phone's external speaker. It's all automatic
Yeah, you must have headphones plugged in...or some kind of external speakers. Then you can go to Android Settings and select Sound under the Phone section. In there there is an option for Sound enhancer. By default it is set to Beats, but you can select none or others (this is grayed out if nothing is plugged into the headphone jack).
the audio with headphones is way better than my og evo. more crisp and louder. not quite as good as my Zune HD with E6 mini amp
I think the external speaker and the earpiece are better than the 3D by leaps and bounds.

used skull candy earbuds today and its far better then my og evo. even better then my og evo with beats audio hack.
I plug it into my car's audio jack and it wounded better. I enabled and disabled the Beats and I could hear a difference. It sounded better and warmer with beats enabled.

Bluetooth audio quality?

So.. I bought the DNA today and am severely regretting this decision.. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue?
I have a Jaybird BlueBuds X bluetooth headphones. Compared to a lot of others, they have an amazing sound quality.. at least they had an amazing sound quality. When they were connected to my Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1 in the interest of full disclosure), they sounded as if they were hard-wired - no distortion, no buzzing, perfect sound quality.
I paired them with my new DNA, hoping for the same audio quality (and then some, due to famed Beats Audio) and... didn't get it.
So the problem I'm running into here is that they now sound like a pair of cheap, 10$ bluetooth headphones - the sound is distorted, there is crackling noise in the background, the music sounds like as if it's 64 kbps - barely usable, very unpleasant. As soon as I pair it back to my old S3, the sound comes back to life.
I've read the forums and understand that the OTA pushed out an update with some bluetooth fix.. I have the OTA (got it that way), so my phone is already running the supposed sound fix.
Has anyone experienced same problem? Especially with higher-end BT headphones? (Jaybirds, Sennheissers etc) Really like the phone, have been an HTC fan since WinMo days, but I simply cannot tolerate this BT flaw... Does it have to do with the BT chip that DNA has, or is it the BT stack/driver on this one?
++> On a side note - sound quality over wire is great.. so this a bluetooth only issue. The issue (noise) is more pronounced on higher frequencies..
I don't have BT headphones, but do have a Sony Xplod CD deck in my wife's Honda & pairing any of my HTC phones via BT sounds so horrible. However, I did get the HTC Steroclip for my Sony Xplod CD deck without BT in my truck & it sounds great. What gives? Was wondering if it might be the same issue as with the headphones.
I am running Creative 350's with apt-x codec and they sound great. I would find a set of headphones with apt-x. You won't be disappointed.

Well, quite honestly, when i first started researching bt headphones for exercising there has not been a single pair that garnered the amount of positive reviews as the bluebuds.. plus they did sound amazing on s3. I did look for aptx - s3 uses it, but no workout headphones that had aptx had good reviews in terms of build quality etc.
I do wonder tho...
On dev.android under the about Android 4.2 JB it does mention that it got a new BT stack developed, replacing current BlueZ as well as updated low-latency audio.. maybe the new stack does indeed improve quality.
im going to flash the s3 with stock 4.1 and see how it sounds and then try a couple of variations of aosp stuff and report back..
Ps. I also found a mention of how s3 uses a2dp edr natively, whereas dna is using aptx... Its going to suck if this is truly a hardware issue...

I think Stereoclip has aptx.
So I flashed S3 back to Stock VRALF2, 4.0.x ICS, and played a couple of songs and still was getting crystal clear quality.. So it has to be the BT implementation in DNA.. Sad. Anyone has any insight into why/what could be the root cause? BT chip? DAC chip?
Thanks

Same issue. I streamed music from the same Google Music account, on both my Rezound and DNA, to the same receiver (2010 Infinity G37S).
DNA audio quality is noticeably bad. Especially in mid and high range. It sounds like very low bitrate audio, and/or very lossy compression. The Rezound audio quality over BT is nearly the same as wired.
I suspect HTC has deliberately chose to use a low bitpool value for A2DP w/ the stock Sense ROM. DNA now supports atpX. So, they gimped A2DP stream, with the goal being to sell more of their Bluetooth Stereo Clip product, that support atpX.

Jaybird + dna
I have a set of jaybird freedom's myself and have had no issues with bluetooth, beats audio or audio quality. One thing i have seen though is that some roms do not handle beats over bluetooth very well. The other thing you probably should look at is to make sure that it is pairing as a stereo audio device and not a mono audio device.
+1 for horrible quality here. I use these LG blue tooth ear buds and they just sound terrible. sounded fine on my gs3...and I used one of those jbl stereo boxes and it's awful.. and again fine on the gs3. sucks.

DNA Sound Quality
I hope you haven't given up entirely on your DNA since your post because there are some options you can explore.
Did you try turning off "Beats Audio" in your settings? I purchased the Power Amp music player update and Power Amp and Beats Audio don't work well together. In my experience, the standard Music player that comes with your phone works best with Beats. Other music players may also have the same problem. Second question, did your problem go away with the latest update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2?
Good Luck,

LG G2 Sound Quality Thread

Hi there,
I'm about (prolly) to buy a LG G2 in the next incomming days.
I was wondering what you guys were thinking about the Sound Quality of the G2, whichever variant you got, and how loud/quiet you think it is, from headphones, earpiece, or external speaker.
Lets hear your thoughts !

I'l say this, the G2 uses aptX, so I went to go find an aptX compatible headset. I purchased the LG HBS730 bt stereo headset... It'll be hard to top that in my mind.
The audio quality is really good. But then I rooted and installed viper4android and now, my audio is easily much better than on my s4
Stock, untweaked, the loudspeakers are adequate for only typical indoor (office/home) use, IMO. I was on a speakerphone call outside and found the speaker had too little volume to compete against the urban background noise (trucks and such passing by at idle speeds). I opted to put in my headphones instead.
Ringers and notifications seemed to be adequate, again, for typical office and domestic settings. No way could I hear them driving down the highway with the windows down.
After installing Malladus, which includes volume tweaks, the notifications are significantly louder such that I've been able to set those sliders at mid position for my daily needs. The alarm has no problem waking me in the morning.
As far as line out and BT A2DP quality, I'd say it's very good but not quite up to the hype. Caveat, I have not yet tried any 24/192 source material. I mostly listen to 320k or better MP3 and FLAC music thru Neutron. For BT, it streams thru a Clarion FZ501 head unit. The headphone out drives a pair of Shure SE535s with Head-Fi-derived EQ tweaks. No outboard DAC or amp. I hate carrying more than absolutely necessary.
My research has concluded that Viper and Neutron are mutually exclusive and most head-fi'ers seem to prefer Neutron. I haven't tried Viper. I may one day, but haven't yet heard heard an informed, compelling argument to switch.
Line-out audio performance was in my Top-3 for priorities. I'm not disappointed or blown away. It's more than adequate for a quality mobile audio source, IMO.

Hmm, sounds good if it comes too loud. Since I just use in ear headphones, it might be loud enough at the end !
I have used this volume boost mod to improve the audio output levels on the g2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482750
I prefer to keep things stock as possible (neutral sounding) as far as audio signal processing is concerned when listening to my audio.
I run sennheiser ie-80 in-ears currently (16 ohms) and they pair really well with the dac in this phone.
The stock music player is quite capable on this phone, and Neutron has seen minimal use in the time I've had it, although it is installed.
I owned the note 3 for a week before returning it for the lg g2.
I came from the Samsung note 2 before that which I also initially bought for the audio capabilities and ended up using the same volume boosting technique for the same reasons, the g2 audio does surpass the note 2 audio quality with the stock lg audio player, voume boost mod, and proper audio source files.

i agree the stock sounds good. It just doesn't offer the EQ quality I want.
Can u guys confirm which DAC carries?
Read it´s the latest Wolfson WM5110 while also read it carries the Qualcomm WCD9320.
Also would like to know your impressions on sound quality when listening music with earphones.
