This speaker is super loud and has relatively good sound. What do you expect, a mini subwoofer?

This is only a smart phone. Granted, it's a very - very good one. However, it's not a DJ's workstation. It's a phone. Use headphones if you're so bothered. And not the ones they give you in the box because obviously those aren't that amazing.
Always buy a good quality pair.
If you're talking about the sound quality of the ring when you're getting a phone call, don't beat the phone up about it. When you get a phone call, you pick it up to stop the ring. You don't sit there listening to it!
This is the one of the best speakerphone speakers I've had on a phone (outside of my older blackberry). iPhone speaker is awful, and the mic. is even worse.
Sounds like you have something wrong.
Hi all,
I recently decided to upgrade from an N7000 to the N9005. And what a change it is ^_^ I can finally keep up with the latest games and whatnot.
I however find the Note 3 speaker terrible. It distorts with the slightest sound it seems. I tried a few units and it seems to be a problem with most Note 3s.
Does anyone know of any portable speakers (preferably bluetooth) that aren't too expensive? I'm not really looking for high quality here. Mostly to use with podcasts and some gaming. I looked around for some soundbars, but they are very expensive apparently

I personally use this http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...,electronics&rh=i:electronics,k:hmdx jam plus
It is loud enough for outdoors and perfect for indoor use.
Thanks for the tip! I'll see if they'll ship to Europe or if amazon.de/.co.uk carries it
Edit: Found one in .nl I'll go have a look tomorrow ^^

my wife likes the jbl flip they come in colors (except pink) she can listen to her music and answer calls'
i like my jbl charge no call answering but real loud and my headset stays connected for calls
I recommend the Jambox Mini. On sale $30 cheaper than I just paid at a big box store. It comes in several face design and color options and the sound puts the more expensive Beats Pill to shame.

SO. GOOD.
I have an Oontz by Cambridge Soundworks, it was only 50.00 shipped. I love this thing it's incredibly loud for its small size. My girlfriend has one she also loves it, and my mom has a different model than us and it sounds equally good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_pp_2?rh=i:aps,k:Oontz&keywords=Oontz&ie=UTF8&qid=1394169461
I'm sitting here trying to watch videos on my new Verizon V10, but the speaker is so tinny/buzzy-low that I can't enjoy it. I'm having to watch on my old HTC M7..
Does the speaker improve over time? What were they thinking giving us this great screen but requiring headphines to watch anything?

I have the t-mobile variant and the speaker is very loud, to the point I have to turn it down when I let my daughter use it while she cleans her room because the sounds travels though the house. Maybe it's a bad unit.
The speakers are loud for me too， but the sound quality is pathetic

So you guys think it's software? Maybe a fix in the future? I expected the same speaker as the g4, but it's not as loud.
I'm on the fence about keeping the phone for this reason.
mine is low too. Tmobile v10. G4 had really awesome loud sound !
They are acceptable, but don't expect to be able to hear them in a room that's not completely quiet. Coming from an HTC m8 the speakers on the v10 were disappointing

I loved my m8 for the 1.5 years I had it. Awesome speakers, durable build(I had no case and only a vinyl wrap on it since week one), really easy to use one handed unlike the v10.
The v10 has a way better camera, super fast phone(4 gigs of ram?), brilliant screen, 268gb of storage with my 200gb micro SD. The extra battery is a major win, swapping battery's for the past two weeks and going from 0% to 100% in 20 seconds has been amazing.
But honestly my v10 has already started to fall apart, it's only a month old and looks beat to **** already. Already has more micro scratches than my old m8, the camera ring is scratched, the back cover is tinted with dirty/is a different color than rest of the phone, has several chunks missing from the rubber.?

Agreed, my wife's note 4 is much louder/clearer.
I know is not a big deal to most, but hopping in my old car (without Bluetooth) and still being able to enjoy listening to a podcast is a big deal for me. I just wish I knew if there is a software fix possible. Seems like some are fine with the volume.
There must be different suppliers for the speaker unit because I can tell no difference between my V10 and any other phone i've had with one speaker, including the G4, any of the Galaxy Notes, S4, Nexus 4 etc.. and i'm not hard of hearing or undiscerning. We're talking about a speaker 1/4th the size of a fingernail. Has anyone had a single-speaker phone that seriously didn't distort at full volume? My Note 4 sounded like crap, just like the V10, only the V10 doesn't get muffled when laying face up on a soft surface. I change phones every few months, can't remember a single one that sounded significantly different than the one before it with the exception of the Nexus 6 and its two front firing speakers, but even those distorted like mad at higher volume.
I've never heard HTC's "Boom Sound" so maybe i'm really missing out there. If every one of HTC's M series cameras didn't stink so bad (relative to the flagship competition) I would have had one by now though.
I find the sound comparable to my last phone galaxy s5. The speaker works well enough for my use not fantastic. I use Bluetooth most of the time anyway. I figure different phones have different drawbacks. All the plus's about this phone outweigh the negative.
I have a T-Mobile V10 that is rooted. I have Viper Audio(V4A) installed. It has made a VERY dramatic difference in the audio output and quality of the speaker. I rarely have to put the volume even halfway up! Audio is clear and loud. This lends me to believe that it is not a hardware limitation of the V10's speaker but software. The speaker can produce some loud and clear audio. I root all my phones to use V4A. It allows me to get great audio from the built in speakers.

Maybe there are different speakers causing all these different experiences. My wife's note 4 is much louder, and my daughters Droid turbo is much much louder. I seriously can't watch an interview - type YouTube video because I can't understand what anyone is saying.
I just factory reset my 2 day old v10. The speaker is a deal-breaker. It's going on Craigslist/eBay. A phone with end bezels this large should have great sound.

I called lg and spoke to them about the speaker. They said I was the first complaint they had regarding low sound. Their tech said the speaker was as loud as it ever would be and software would not change it, nor did they plan on making any changes or updates to the volume.
I'm sure it was a canned response but certainly not encouraging.

I would try it too, but Verizon versions of the V10 aren't rootable.... At least not yet.....?
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 9's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
surely someone must have played with it lol, let us know how the speakers sound.....and how good the DAC is
I've had mine for a few days.. Ordered from Saudi Arabia with the really nice per orders...512gb.. The stereo speakers are a very noticeable improvement.. I've played them side by side with my Note 8 and Note FE... The big improvement is when you turn on Dolby Atoms.... It's not mine blowing (it is a mobile device) but it definitely kicks the speakers up a level... Very pleased... Haven't had a chance to use the headphone jack yet
I have used a store demo Note 9 for an hour or so. Side by side with my Note 8, the Note 9 speakers were a lot better. Definitely louder, but most important much better quality sound and much fuller sound with the dual speaker setup. The Dolby atmos definitely improved the sound quality also. The dual speakers are a big reason I decided to upgrade to the Note 9, and I am happy to say that with my hour of using a Note 9 store demo that the speakers are a huge improvement over the Note 8.
Received my note 9 unlocked from Samsung yesterday, it's ok. I'm really disappointed that it is not as loud as the s9 speakers. It's on par for loudness with the iPhone x though but I wouldn't say louder. The s9 is a few decibels louder then both.
Coming from the Note 8, I think the speakers on the Note 9 are pretty nice. I can immediately hear the stereo sound and it is definitely louder than the Note 8 as well.
Sound overall is definitely better. Richer sound with stereo separation. Loudness is on par with the note 8.

I noticed that Note 9 is quieter than my S9+.
Probably well known, but go into sounds and vibration and turn on Dolby Atmos. Made a huge difference for me. It was off by default on my phone.
Note 9 speakers play not so loud like s9plus. Galaxy s 9 plus it is louder. how come? I have check all settings, all settings was the some playing the some video and s9plus is louder. Note 9 need modification
I agree with others, not as loud as S9+. Disappointing.
Notification sounds again works only on one speaker (mono), right?!

From my experencing this device is tooo loud with dolby enabled
How is the DAC on this phone? (particularly for the SD845 version) Has anyone tried it with some decent headphones? Any enthusiasts out there? How does it fair? Especially if someone has had experience with the LG V-series with a 32bit Quad DAC before... heard the Galaxy S9 and S9+ had a decent DAC.
Thanks for any and all feedback from the community.
If you want to improve the loudness and sound of your Note 9, go into settings and use the "adapt sound" tool. You have to use headphones for the tool, but once you tailor the sound with the adapt sound, it immediately improves the sound quality. Also, using Dolby Atmos helps also as others have mentioned.
Now at 4 days with my Note 9 and the difference/improvement of the external speakers from the Note 8 is quite significant. I can't compare with the S9, but IMO the Note 9 has great sound and dual speakers really make a ton of difference. Don't forget to use adapt sound and turn on Dolby Atmos.

Lg's dac kicks Samsung's a$$.
Which Dolby profile do you guys think is the best for external speakers ? Auto, movie, music or voice?
I was leaning towards a Note 9 and then my wife got an S9+ and hearing the sound sold me. I agree with everyone else, why isn't the Note 9 as loud? I find it mildly irritating. Also has anyone else notice some weird sound handling with Google Maps? It's almost like it doesn't know what to do with stereo speakers.

If you mean the volume fluctuates, it happens to me sometimes with games. It sounds like the bottom speaker lowers in volume and the overall sound becomes compressed and muffled as if the stereo is too wide. If I restart the game or wait for a while it seems to fix itself. It seems to be app-specific as if I play music with the app still running in the background it seems to be fine.
I find the speakers pretty good with the music app and some YouTube videos, but Dolby Atmos seems somewhat inconsistent. For some games like Real Racing 3 and Horizon Chase they don't sound that good - they emphasize heavily on the car motor sound instead of the music. Asphalt 9 sounds a bit better as the music is more balanced although the choice of music is more harsh on the speakers. On Horizon chase that volume-dip glitch happens in about 5 minutes - only happened to me once with RR3 and not yet with Asphalt 9.
I'm coming from the S9 and yep I noticed the sound difference with the note. The s9 has great speakers. But also the note 9 makes up for it once Dolby it turned on. On the s9, didn't really notice difference unless I connected to my BT beats x. Come to think of it, I need to check out pub g and fortnite with dolby on.
As a previous Pixel 2 (not XL) owner i immediately noticed that the speakers sound much worse on the pixel 3. It just sounds more flat and dull and there is some sort of distortion at a high volume. Is this normal? I know the speakers are a bit smaller on the Pixel 3 but something seems wrong here. Pixel 2 sounded so much richer and clearer.
For me, speakers on Pixel 3 is much more louder, richer and punchy. Although i agree that it does distorts a little at full volume but overall improvement than pixel 2

I'm in the same boat as you. They suck.
Over on Reddit there are threads about this and apparently it is because of the new waterproofing and, also, they need to break in. You can use software to tweak the sound to your liking, apparently.

Those coming from a pixel 2 or 2 XL, and use the phone as an alarm in the morning, does it sound like the volume has gotten lower? When I try all the diff alerts out, it sounds normal but when it actually goes off sounds a lot lower than my pixel 2 xl.
I'm coming from the 6P and I definitely noticed how muddy it sounds. I guess it could be the waterproof membrane. Still a bit disappointing. I'm going to give Viper a go and see how it sounds.
I also noticed this. For me the pixel 2 were much worse. If have to max out the volume when using Google maps to hear. The pixel 3 is better.
Also I'm not sure if this is how the pixel 2 was designed or not but the 2 speakers were not equal loudness. The top seemed louder than the bottom.
Pixel 3 series are a lot better than the Pixel 2. I had all 4 and I can say that the smaller Pixel 3 has the best, 3XL second especially now that Google fixed the imbalanced stereo speakers and distortion on the 3XL. They are almost neck-and-neck
After using a while p3 i hate the equalizer/sound settings on p3 on stock (fx deactivated!)
Its no "natural" sound.
Is there a option to disable it?
Locked bl and not rooted!
Adb shell or stock aosp driver?! Any chance? :/

My Pixel 2 speakers sound different one from the other.
The top one seems to have more bass,the bottom more powerful though. How are things with the regular pixel 3?

It's like a fix a thing, break a thing.
Pixel 3= Louder speakers overall. I can hear audio much better vs. Pixel 2.
I'm not sure if others have this, but my earpiece buzzes a lot. It's to the point where I can sometimes barely hear the person. From what I have read, it is an issue with the software kernel and how it picks up the phone signal which is somewhat ridiculous but makes sense.
When I make wifi calls the buzzing is lessened by 80%, but normal tower calls are pretty rough. Unlike a lot of people, I make a lot of phone calls.
I'd give the Pixel 3 a B-/C+. I'll be getting rid of it later on this year for the Pixel 4 or something else that's for sure.
If you have the Pixel 2, I would absolutely NOT upgrade to the Pixel 3 and if I could do it all over again, I'd have just kept my Pixel 2.
