Just got a mate 10 Pro to compare to my u11+ and found that every dongle used with the Mate 10 Pro sounds so quiet. The U11+ is so much louder but even the OP3T and S8 seem louder. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I've used the stock dongle, Google's and Razerphone and they are LOUD on S8 and U11+ but extremely quiet on Mate 10 Pro
Have you tried playing around with the sound option? Specifically the Huawei Histen Sound Effects option.

Yeah and it makes things sound different, it's basically just an EQ right. Doesn't do anything in terms of making sound louder and boosting everything via EQ for loudness is simply a no go. Via Bluetooth it's fine because my P7s built in amp is used. My wired headsets sound horrible through the Mate 10 Pro though.

Same here.
Sound could be better honestly.
With dongle or with Bluetooth headset, sound is just ok...
Audio capabilities of this phone are a big disappointment in my opinion. If someone can help to make things better please let us know.
Same issue. Mate and 10 lite
No issue whatsoever. I bought the fabulous sony-wh-1000xm2 and live is seriously good. Streaming high res flacs over 990 kbs LDAC
With Mate 10, even with cheap Philips in-ear headset (Philips-SHE3595BK) sound is very clear and loud.
I can't even imagine with a good quality headset.
Using some mdr-1a and the USB c headphones from htc bolt/10 Evo. Both sound very very good, clear and Loud.
I have rooted my phone and can try to find out if there is a way to boost audio via USB c headphones / the adapter

Sound is good but imo, not enough high with headsets
Yes, the max output level is quite low for the dongle. Over BT it's the same as other sources in output level since that's not set by the phone.
Is this on European phones only ? could it be the EU volume limit as seen on many mp3 players etc ?

Asia model here. Again: it's only playback through the dongle, not Bluetooth.

I think so.
It was always like that with all devices I had before.
Need root to increase level sadly
@Galactus so I got the u11 today and tried the dongle on the huawei. and man! it IS SO MUCH LOUDER and everything sounds better too!
With my IE80 the sound is loud enough... But the impedance is also only 16Ohms...
Since there isn't a headphone jack anyways, you can buy the Good Pixel USB Dac, heard it's quite good, at "iPhone" level.

Indeed it is and yet the U11+ is even louder
Not that it is necessary but the extra voltage and lower volume brings out more of the sound etc.
The best dongle I have used is the Razerphone dongle followed by the Pixel 2 dongle. The HTC dongle is actually the worst, but still better than what Huawei bundled with the Mate 10 Pro

oh crazy, then I gonna order it, if it is available in germany
Hi, I bought a mate 10 pro three days ago, but when I connect my device with Bluetooth (sbc codec) the quality is very poor and distorted.
I tried the same connection with same audio device and same audio file but with other phones (s8 plus, s7, A5 2016) and the quality was much better.
I also tried with a p10 lite and the quality was the same of mate 10 pro, so I think that the problem is in emui software.
Maybe there is a problem whit the sbc conversion because with ldac codec there is no problem.

Tl;Dr SBC codec causes distortion, AAC is broken, Huawei said they were aware of that, but I've my doubts .... Hoping for a software update that will bring things back to normal.
Any updates?? I have mate 10 pro, with same problem... SBC much noise... Acc totally broken. Beats X my earphones

EMUI 8 doesn't support AAC, SBC seems to be fixed on the latest firmwares for the C432.
Long story short if looking to buy new Bluetooth headphones, look forward for aptx or LDAC support.
B141 fixes Bluetooth issues.
I had problems before and so far, using the Mate 10 Pro with the Jaybird X3 for about 10 days on B141, I had no more issues.
Before that, I had the audio switch to loudspeaker all the time.
Have the same poor quality here with my jbl Xtreme. Rocking on bla-l29133c605 here...
I have just attempted to pair my Mate 10 Pro with Sony WI-1000X, and guess what — it won't connect via anything but SBC, no matter in what order I turn their Bluetooth signal on and how many times I try to select LDAC in the Android settings.
Curious if this update fixes BT.
So what do you guya think about the headphone sound of the mate 10 pro? I tried many dongles with my ath m40x and the sound ia juat awful, i also tried connecting a dac but huawei devices dont support usb dacs.. Is that a problem with my device?
Hello everyone, I state that my English is not the best, I have a question that you do not see much around the web, there is a soundmod on p20 that allows you to get the sound out of the frontal speaker so you have an audio stereo?
Thanks to everyone in advance
I was wondering - has anyone tried out USB-C headphones with 10" M5?
Does it supports ANC?
Was planning to buy Huawei ANC USB-C headphones but now i am a bit concerned will they ever work.
