I think it's the hardware/earphones you use as well.
I don't know about AAC, but if it has aptx HD I don't know if you'll need that.

Sorry guys for late reply, just bought the phone 2 days ago and immediately updated it to latest OS.
So heres the thing, on dev option listed so many codecs including SBC, AAC, LDAC, and 4 APTXs. But, somehow I can’t use APTX (the other 3 are okay). I tested it with TWS Samsung Galaxy Buds audio player Shanling M0 because the M0 will show which codec are used when connected to Realme 6.
With galaxy buds, it automatically connect with AAC, 44.1 khz sampe rate, 16 bits/sample, and best effort (adaptive bit rate) playback quality. I’m able to change codec to SBC, but the sample rate, bits/sample, and playback quality aren’t changeable. I supposed it’s quite normal since galaxy buds only support for SBC and AAC, and the rest of the settings may or may not be limited by the galaxy buds.
Next with Shanling M0, it automatically connect with LDAC, 96.0 khz sample rate, 32 bits/sample, and balanced audio and connection quality playback. I’m able to change codec to SBC and AAC, but not any of the APTX. Use all listed sample rate (44.1, 48.0, 88.2, or 96.0 khz), use all listed bits/sample (16, 24, and 32), and use all playback quality from adaptive bitrate up to optimized for audio quality (990kbps/909kbps).
I've sent an email to local official support, they said that Realme 6 support APTX. Then I download bluetooth codec checker thing on playstore. It show Realme 6 support SBC, AAC, APTX, and LDAC, it allow me to choose SBC and AAC for galaxy buds, then SBC, AAC, and LDAC for Shanling M0. Screenshots attached below in case you guys want to know.

On developer setting there Is the possibility to select aptx and aptx hd.
I do not use any Bluetooth device (only car headunit) so I cannot test it
I was concerned about this too.
And I can confirm the option for aptx HD is available, within the Bluetooth settings.
But I'm not impressed with the sound quality, I thought it was better on my honour view 10.
So I'm trying different eqs to try and produce a better quality of sound. I know the earphones are capable of it.
On my PC I can push the bass to extreme levels and the earphones sound amazing, even though my PC doesn't support aptx HD. So it's weird. Guess it could be the DAC on my phone? Through Bluetooth?
Not sure

Okay I changed the plastic ear housing that fits into the earphones speaker and it seems much better now, worthy bass, not mind blowing but somewhat substantial
I put a larger one on, maybe it channels the bass more efficiently

Hello, are you sure Realme 6 has AptX or at least AAC enabled? I want to buy realme 6 in a few days, but I have to make sure it support at least AAC. Some phones let you choose APTX even LDAC but it will change back to SBC once you leave dev setting.
Yep aptx hd

First of all, this is my 2nd hands-free Bluetooth device (my 1st was a [Nokia BH-900] that barely worked on my PC but worked well on my N95).
Ever since the day I got my HTC Hero, I really missed using a wireless headset to listen to music/internet radio.
Thankfully, one day I saw what I wanted and it was for a great price! ($39.99 USD)
Okay, enough with my rambling, time for the good/bad stuff:
*Since every retailer who sells these always lists specs and box contents, I won't bore you with the same boring thing.
Pros:
+Once paired, it connects easily with my HTC Hero [Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1], Macbook Air, PC [Vista Business/Windows 7 Professional] laptops. Obviously, not all at the same time.
+Has multiple earbud accessories for numerous ear sizes.
+Does not have a goofy blue flashing indicator.
+Once on your ear, it won't come off unless you want it to.
+You can use your own headphones in conjunction with the headset.
+The 3.7V, 100mA gives about ~6 hours of continuous use (videos and music).
Now for the very short list of the negatives...
Cons:
-The entire unit is housed in a cheap plastic shell (my unit fell to pieces when I received it [2 little dabs of glue quickly fixed this])
-Even though this unit is the same standard size as the newest headsets in the market, it feels a bit heavy. I think this is due to the fact that I don't use it everyday and I have weak ears canals.
-The "text-to-voice" software in the Android marketplace is worthless with the HTC Hero.
Although a lot of the functions can't be used on the Hero (text-to-speech messages/email/time, headset locator, etc), you probably could use it on other phones/devices.
If you have a HTC Hero and want/need a wired/wireless headset, buy this unit! It has everything you'll ever need. Period.
Finally, since I only use this as a wireless headset, I never tested the microphone quality. I still haven't developed the backbone to wear this out in the public .

http://sellout.woot.com/ has it for $29.99 today. Anyone else have this and want to comment on their experience? Most of the reviews on Amazon are poor.
Hi CGeyser, could you please check with the manual and advise what's the frequency range of the HM6450 (regarding the audio playback)? I try to identify that online but got no clues anywhere.THX
BTW, how's the noise reduction with its dual-mic?
The manual doesn't say anything about any frequency range of the phone and audio playback. It only shows pairing instructions and liability statements.
I use my wired stereo headphones in conjunction with the headset (my ear canals are sensitive to the weight of BT headsets). I can clearly hear the caller and they can hear me as well. It eliminates the majority of background noise while allowing you to hear/to be heard. This configuration isn't very convenient, but it allows you to use the device without looking like a goofy businessman/businesswoman.
I have yet to use the BT headset by itself so I can't attest to the audio/mic quality.

Thanks CGeyser. Your input is already doing much more help than Samsung's support (like you said, nothing indicative could be found from their manual)
Job21, just curious, why do you want to know the frequency range?
I imagine that its the same if not similar to other BT headsets already out in the market.
Are you worried that it'll interfere with your wireless network(s)? If so, you should be able to easily change your router's settings.

sorry for confusing u.
for frequency range i was referring to the headsets output (bass to treble) to earphone.
since i'm planning to get a quality pair,and hope hm6450 would get me a wider range and best utilize the earphone
ps i finally manage to identify user manual of each hm6450 / hm3700 /hs3000 from 3 diff site of samsung worldwide, what a good support
Hmmm...as of now, I don't know of any BT headset that'll allow you to directly change the bass & treble on-the-fly. Maybe with some software on your phone "might" be able to change it (virtually/simulated).
On the headset, you can only change the volume and the device(s) it gets paired to.
As it is now, the sound quality is excellent as any good BT headsets get. Not as good as as my wireless Sennheiser headphones, but still very good.

I was thinking if this HM6450 or someother BT headset would allow most of the original signal to feed to the earphone (just checked, it should be frequency RESPONSE indeed).
But like you said, there should be standard output among different brand and gives no big difference at all.
Sorry I couldn't help you as much as I could. I'm not really an audiophile.
Hi! All. is it possible to use bluetooth headphones to listen to music with the galaxy tab? any compatibility issues i should be looking out for before buying if its possible to use.
of coz it is possible
Even better, the 7.7 supports the APT-X Bluetooth codec/profile, which sounds noticeably better than regular A2DP. Of course you need a receiver that supports APT-X as well.
I picked up an LG Tone Bluetooth headset.
It allows phone calls (with my tablet or my EVO) and can be used as a stereo headset for videos, music, etc.
Battery lasts a long time and works great for me.

It's a decent set for all the features but in terms music quality, i think it lacks a bit (soundstage and mid/low range)
Vibration on incoming call is pretty awesome

Have you tried any of the higher end bluetooth headphones like sennheiser mm 550-x or 450-x? I'm actually looking for a decent headphone with phone call capability and noise cancelling for travelling
Hmm, I doubt that the hardware is different in the Verizon version - also, APT-X can be both AFAIK, either hardware- or software-wise implemented. Maybe it's just a firmware difference, or maybe they just didn't write down the whole specs.
Nah, haven't tried those Senns - do they support APT-X? (So far my only experience with APT-X was on the Creative Zen X-Fi 3 with a small Samsung APT-X adapter/receiver, and my regular IEMs plugged in. The sound quality was pretty much as good as wired, to my ears.)

You're probably right on the specs but it's odd that they didn't mention it specifically for the us release.

I use a set of Sony DR-BT21G headphones. They are excellent but alas they were discontinued a few years ago and Sony never brought out a followup model :-(
The only real drawback to them is lack of USB charging - they use a silly 3.3V Sony charger (which I think was also used for minidisc players, perhaps why they chose it as maybe they originally thought to make it for MD players).
I plan on using my Motorola S10 HD when I get my tab. They work really well with my xoom currently.

Price is also petty decent for what you get.($30.00 USD)
Available on newegg, free shipping. Not sure if I can link.

does it support bluetooth 3.0?
Yes, it is bluetooth 3.0 compliant.
This headset, on a technical aspect is a pefect companion with the Gtab2, as both devices are 3.0 compliant, and both do Apt-X BT.
The Gtab2 is also packing a Wolfson W1811 audio chip, and is also bundled with SoundAlive audio enhancements which performs really well for "hi-fi" quallity audio.
I'm jamming out to my 20+GB, 320kbp/s MP3 music library, and it's absolutely delightful, even just using the earbuds that came included. I think I'll be investing in over-the-ear headphones in the near future.
This is the best "MP3 player" I've ever owned.

Works excellently w/ PowerAMP... Also, PowerAMP kinda kicks @$$! Digging the EQ effects. Turning the onscreen nobs is smooth & precise..
The physical buttons on the headset seem to work better in PA. When using the default music player on the GTab2, theres a slight (1 sec) delay between pushing a button, and the track actually changing, in PA the gap is shorter. Cross-fading is nice too.
I just bought a hs3000, paired it with my tab and s3. It works fine, but I'm wondering if it is using apt-x, is there a way to check that?

Audio definately is better quality on the Gtab2, I even gotta fanboy to admit it. *SCORE*
Im pretty sure that if both devices suport apt-x, then it'll "just work"

I originally picked up a set of the LG HBS-700 Bluetooth Stereo Headset because of the generally positive reviews across the net. I used the headset for about 3 weeks but was not entirely happy as it was only Bluetooth 2.3 and not Bluetooth 3.0 like the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 uses. Felt like it wasn't fully mating with my Tab 2. Also wasn't happy with the audio quality as it didn't sound as good as a wired connection. I then picked up the Samsung HS3000 and WOW what a difference. It is much more responsive mated to my Galaxy Tab 2 and their is no comparison with the audio quality. I did some testing and can confirm (at least to my ears) that their is no difference from connecting with a wire. It is definitely using the apt-X lossless compression. If you are looking for Bluetooth headphones I don't think you can do better especially given the incredibly low price of $30 from NewEgg.
Well said... I plan on snatching up these bad boys ouffa Amazon. Alas, I will be finnished w/ my personal audio setup.
These are Kicker HP541, they look pretty decent, specwise.
Has option for using a shorter 3.5 to 3.5 audio cable, as in you can swap it out using standard cables of any length.

i don't know what it is but the soundquality over bluetooth is not up to what i expected nor when connected to 3.5mm jack
I don't know what it is or the reason why i am experiencing this but it is not good
Initially i thought yeah lets buy a sony phone as it has walkman app on it and i read about clear audio, and to be honest it is not good
so then i bought every hailed player and played with all their settings, and installed even audio mods like viper4android and the end result it sucks
also the same applies to sound while connecting the 3.5 mm jack
it came to the point i had to buy an external dac/amp media player so i can enjoy music again.
I'm not what you would call an audiophile but I can hear a significant difference between low vs high bitrate.
And I must ask, there isn't any chance that you're using the headphones that came with the phone?
I'm using a pair of in-ear skullcandy's that I've had for around three years with all the phones in my signature and I can say with certainty that the Ultra have had the best sound.
I am sorry that you're not happy with the sound and I can agree that Clear Audio sucks and I've had it off since day 1, but fiddling around with the settings & equalizer a bit have gotten me near perfect sound.
What kind of bad quality are we talking about like 32kbit sound or like buzzing, crackling sound?
Can't really complain at all on the sound quality in this phone. :highfive:
Surprise surprise, look who's here (again)...

now i am using hi end headphones Audio-Technica ATH-M50 also I have a high end car system. All i can say is i tried flac files and most other formats, it seems the mids are too much in the face and I can't describe it well as english is not my main language but it feel sharp and not comfortable to me. I tired so many convolvers in viper4android and equalisers and once i start messing there with equalizers all the sound gets messed. Its really difficult to say all I can say it feels not comfortable to the ear and not warm and lacks depth with any player.
Please don't misunderstand me but that is how I feel compared to my previous phones i owned.
I compared the same songs with my dac/amp player and on it the same songs sound as they should be.

I play my music from .flac files in 24 bit and it sounds very good even with the standard in-ears from the box.

can i ask does z ultra play 24 bits, which player do u use, and what settings in means of sound should i use and which to avoid.
my dac/amp is battery powered is the x3 fiio, and its so much better than the sound i get from my phone.
Maybe i need more learning in how to get the best sound from my phone, but i tried so many things and don't know why the sound is not to my liking.

now i am using hi end headphones Audio-Technica ATH-M50 also I have a high end car system. All i can say is i tried flac files and most other formats, it seems the mids are too much in the face and I can't describe it well as english is not my main language but it feel sharp and not comfortable to me. I tired so many convolvers in viper4android and equalisers and once i start messing there with equalizers all the sound gets messed. Its really difficult to say all I can say it feels not comfortable to the ear and not warm and lacks depth with any player.
Please don't misunderstand me but that is how I feel compared to my previous phones i owned.
I compared the same songs with my dac/amp player and on it the same songs sound as they should be.

The Walkman settings & equalizer should suffice, have you tried those?
Here's my equalizer settings, might be incompatible with your taste of music tho.

What the hell have you done to it? It looks like it got a brown foggy thing on it.

hmmm both equalizer settings did not work for me, again LordManhattan don't take it personally, I promise I will be positive
THis has nothing to do with the device, I know maybe I should invest in buying an aptx bluetooth dongle, as I am sure its the dam bluettoth technology that sucks big time.
As far the 3.5mm jack well the sound I get is as good as you can get from any phone.
My goal was to get great quality of sound over bluetooth and since xperia z ultra supports aptx, then all i need is connect an aptx dongle to my stereo and compare sounds

The HTC apt-x dongle has surprisingly good reviews...

It's a long shot, but anyone have any idea whether or not the NP would support USB-to-digital audio out? I want to connect my NP directly to my soundbar via digital optical so that I don't have to keep my TV on (because of HDMI) to stream music for hours. I found this for about $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCM2704-USB-DAC-Power-Sound-Card-Decoding-Deck-/291547997444

You will just have to try it. Have never used one of those but can confirm that the cheap USB to 3.5mm audio works fine. I needed it for the same reason, for my sound bar.
I suggest this one...

Found it for $9 on Amazon with free shipping (Prime)...should be easy to return if it doesn't work, too: http://www.amazon.com/Phantom-YoYo-PCM2704-Coaxial-Raspberry/dp/B00J5NCVZA/
I'll report back and write a review if it works!

Yeah, I found that one after making the thread. Currently listed for less than $30, too.
Personally, it's more than I want to spend and I don't like that it requires a separate power supply, but it's probably a more robust solution. There are knockoffs on eBay (possibly of inferior quality) for about $17: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1080P-HDMI-...ractor-Converter-Audio-Splitter-/271802547143

I saw there are 2 version
a version with hdmi 1.3 and another with hdmi 1.4 and ARC...
with hdmi v1.3 is a bit cheaper, but I really don't know about the differences...
this is the only way I have with an old FullHD LCD TV to play 5.1 with my old DTS/DD 5.1 Kenwood receiver
I'm a little sceptic about the usb audio converter

No need to be! Got it today and it works perfectly. The blue LED is kind of bright and I wish it had an enclosure (eBay has plenty in an aluminum enclosure, but no empty ones AFAIK), but it looks like any board with the PCM2704 chip will do the trick. Not bad for $7-8.

Well, this is getting a little beyond me, but I'll tell what what I think this chipset/adapter does and does not do. Feel free to correct me, as I may not understand it very well.
PCM is the uncompressed form that all digital audio takes. DD and DTS are compressed, lossy formats that require decoders to decompress (DD TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are the lossless varieties). I have no idea what the NP can output via USB, but this card handles only PCM audio (most cheap converters only handle PCM due to the high DD/DTS licensing fees).
Uncompressed PCM takes up quite a bit of bandwidth and I'm pretty sure that optical and coax connections are limited to 2.0 or 2.1 PCM data, so I'm pretty sure this card only spits out 2.0 or 2.1. Which is fine, since my soundbar is only a 2.1 system and I want to use this specifically with Pandora and other audio apps so that I can stream without leaving the TV on all day (which I have to do if I run the audio through HDMI). If you're looking for a higher-end audio card that supports audio encoding/compression (or, rather, will pass compressed audio through to your receiver/soundbar/TV/whatever), the HDMI audio extractor is likely your best bet.
The Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro II USB Sound Card/Digital Adapter is known to be compatible with the Shield TV. It was plug and play for the user in the following YouTube video and he uses it with his sound bar, search:
"The Best Way to Add Optical Audio Out to Nvidia Shield TV Console"
Amazon is Temporarily sold out but I think you can get them from Turtle Beach.
