Headphones are quiet. How to make louder? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Just got a Redmi Note 4 (Global Edition) and when I use headphones it does not go very loud. is this a bug or have I got a faulty unit?

Even my nokia bh 503 doesn't give much loudness but wired earphones works like charm

BT Headsets for NOTE3- types, experiences, stability, etc

Hello all NOTE 3 users!
I would like to ask You about Your Bluetooth headsets experience with NOTE 3.
I started to use BT headsets more than 5 years ago (several types, Nokia, Motorola, SE, recently SonyEricsson MW600 and Sony MW1) and used it without any problems with Note1 and Note2, however with N9005 (stock rom XXUBMJ1) and currently Sony MW1 headset I am completely disappointed:
1. Headset disconnects by itself few times per week, does not want to restart the link by pressing "Answer" button until BT goes through ON/OFF
2. With BT headset connected - a few times per day - incoming calls, and outgoing calls starts without BT headset voice link active (even if BT headset is "connected"- in some cases during the call to start the voice link call bottom-right button on the note3 must be touched 3 times to in fact "activate" the headset voice link... => this should be ALLWAYS working!
3. SONY suggests Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro - problem exists with the software installed, I am testing it now without this software but with similar bad results so far...
Please post Your opinions and BT headsets types paired with NOTE3...

I'm using a LG HBS-700 with my N3, and have had no issues what-so-ever.
SONY MW1 does not perform well!
Hello, I am continuing tests - NOTE3 + SONY MW1 (most current firmware 0.1.E.1.6) with all software installed is not stable, but without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro software....it is a Total Disappointment! SONY "Premium" headset stays connected with NOTE3, however almost each phone call - incoming or outgoing
does not activate the voice-over-BT audio (phone bottom-right software button on the call screen remains gray, so the phone speaker is active, even if You answer the phone call by pressing ANSWER button on the MW1 headset) - it seems that BT connection between NOTE3 and MW1 becomes "lazy" few minutes after the phone call end, and then does not start again until phone soft key is pressed, or phone call is dropped and another call attempt is made.
If any SONY development guys are reading- please test it.
I have used MW1 with Note2 - it was not very bad, however much less stable than MW600 which was truly PERFECT.
With NOTE3 this is much less stable with software, and without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro it does not work at all.
I will write to SONY support soon
i tested my MW1 with Note3 at a Samsung retail shop and indeed I am very unhappy with the audio quality. the audii cracking a lot
Motorola Boom
Using this now after testing the Motorola Sliver II. The Boom is about half the price and the sound is the best I have heard in quite some time.
I use it all day for work and have had about 20 different models but for the price, the sound clarity and loudness make this a great choice.
The Sliver had issues where everyone talking to me said I sounded as if I was in a tunnel.
Try the Boom. You'll see!
I haven't had any problems with my Motorola HX550, in fact it has been a great BT headset for $40 dollars. No one has a problem with how I sound.
I have been using my Plantronics voyager legend with great results. For stereo music, I've had decent luck with the Plantronics backbeat 2. decent audio. I'm glad I checked this before getting and mw1 as I as about to pull the trigger on this to use with my klipsch headphones. Has anyone heard about the sbh52 from Sony yet or the mw600 with the GN3?
Heres the ones i use.. http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
been using a motorola Elite flip, no problems whatsoever.
No problems here with Sony hbh-52 and offcourse I have installed Sony software.

I'm using Jaybird Bluebuds X. They're perfect, very good sound quality, you can use them nearly 7 to 8 hours with one charging.

The best choice is to take the headphones with APT-x codec:
exemple Denon AH-W200

I use the Samsung HS3000 and get good results given the low price of this headset.

MW1 still does not work - no support from SONY
Hello, I tried to obtain answer regarding firmware upgrade through SONY Xperia care support forum - outcome is ZERO reaction from SONY so users - beware of MW1 - for those interested - link below.

I came back to MW600 and those headphones work with NOTE3 well.
Sony smart watch 2 seems to have some problems too - a lot of post regarding problems on the same support forum.
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD:
Supposedly 6 Hours of talk time, I would say I've experienced less.
It knows when it's on your ear, but I don't quite know what this function really does because it still works even when off my ear.. sooo
Ear buds don't really suit me, it seems to mount alright on my ear but could seal on my ear better.
This really worked great for me at first on my Note 2.
I don't know if it's the headset because I didn't have issues with my LG G2 or Note 3 however, it seemed to pick up the mic very poorly. People weren't able to hear me well and I need to practically shout for them to hear me.
When I use my car's Bluetooth it doesn't seem to have any issues. It sorta cut in & out on my G2 though now that I remember.
Anyways anyone else happen to have the same headset?

Yep, best out there. Little expensive, but the sound is amazing, not to mention there lightweight, small size and long playtime. Grab some, you won't regret it!

My jaybird freedoms work good.
I use several bluetooth headset currently.
Jaybird Bluebuds X as my main bluetooth headset for music and vidoes and it's working flawlessly. Fantastic audio quality and loudness more than I can handle.
Jabra BT620s when I am home since it's more comfortable than bluebuds.
Jabra BT8040 most of the time and it is connected with my galaxy gear. This combo works really well. Clear call quality, good connection and perfect set up for me with my daily routine when I don't need to listen to music or watch videos.

JBL J22 or J33 ?? Which 1 is better?

I have Canvas and Galaxy Y.as u all know MMx doesnt support most of the good earphone which has mic so i decided to go for JBL earphones(Without Mic). I found 2 model J22 and J33 and now i am confused , Can any 1 tell me what is the difference between this 2 model & which 1 will be better.
Any other suggestion is also Welcome.i know skullcandy is also good but i couldn't find without mic. My budget is max 2.5k. and i will only buy in-ear headphones not over the head.

[Redmi note 3 Pro SD650] Audio quality through headphones

I'm thinking about this phone but can't find any info about used audio processor or just sound quality over headphones
Thanks for any help
The RN3 Pro uses the DAC/AMP DSP combination built into the Snapdragon 650 SoC at hardware level coupled with Snapdragon Audio+ processing at software level.
It doesn't have a dedicated audio chip.

Thanks for reply SharkcpN, i'll digg about thisbuilt in DAC,
anyone has experience with audio quality over headphones?
Just flash Viper4Android - instant eargasm
and i will... still i'm choosing between LG G4 and X RN3 Pro, and as far as i can read about LG G4 soud quality, i can't find anything about xiaomi. None of my friend using it so i can't hear for myself.
del
As per Qualcomm it used Qualcomm Hexagon DSP + Qualcomm Immersive Audio if you are rooted the VIPER4ANDROID is the best choice..
I'm using RMN3 SD with VIPER4ANDROID, the sound quality over earphone is excellent..
use google play music there u can tweak snapdragon plus equalizer set surround sound at MAX 100% ,set Reverb to small room then go to setting and switch on MI sound enhancer only then u will feel the real output via headphone jack
Default equalizer is very good, I havea really nice sound with my xiaomi piston 3
Anyone tried messing with mixer_paths.xml?

Type C audio

Does anyone know if you can use type C earphones with the Note 9S? Has anyone used any?
Sent from my Redmi Note 9S using Tapatalk
Yes, I used Hidizs Sonata USB DAC and works OK ?
Yes, i used Huawei earphones type c
Cool thanks, how is the quality, loudness comparedd to the 3.5mm?
Sent from my Redmi Note 9S using Tapatalk
The sound is fantastic. I find that it sounds better than the 3.5mm connector. But, you must consider that when you take the audio out of the type C port, it is the DAC of the headset that works. In addition, the audio improvements provided by the MIUI application are added when detecting a device connected by port c. Totally recommended to use USB sound.

Thanks for your reply. I've been in audio limbo at the moment considering bluetooth headphones or new wired headphones and thought id look at the USB C options after getting the 9S.
Do the miui sound enhancer and equalizer option still work via USB? I use them with a set of wired sennheisers and find the quality decent after some tweaking, im no audiophile, but have found the audio output quality of xiaomi's to be quite good.

I agree with USB as the best choice to listen to music currently with Redmi Note 9S. I'm facing a bug with my Sony WH-1000XM3 Bluetooth headphones -and all Bluetooth audio devices connected to my phone- that makes them sound very very low. Very annoying bug, I'm even thinking to sell my phone if Xiaomi doesn't fix it.

Hi there,
I also own these brilliant headphones, And I have the 9S global. I don't have any problem whatsoever with BT volume, in fact the BT output is very very loud.
Still yet to try USB audio though, it's great to hear that this works well. As inconvenient as it may be maybe a factory reset will solve your problem. Hope you sort it ?
