[Q] do you recommend sonyerricson mw600 for galaxy s?

Guys if Anyone using sonyerricson mw600 bleutooth stereo headphones with samsung galaxy s kindly guide me!
How is sound quality with music and call?
Is there any difficulty in using with galaxy s?
Is there any problem with audio quality?
someone say there is excessive treble while listening music is this true?
I am planned to buy these, so do you recommend these for samsung galaxy s!

I have been using a MW600 with My Galaxy S for a few Months.
Sound is fantastic. You may have to adjust the EQ. But other than that, Calls are clear and Voice Dial works a treat.
Only thing with the MW600 is that no song info will display on the Headset and when an incoming call comes through, only the Callers Number will Display. Not the Name.

yeah ... I second that ... great sound from mw600 in general... used this gadget with xperia x10 , desire hd and have to say that they sound best when paired with SGS...
p.s. I don't rmbr ever seeing the song info or the incoming call contact name even when using it with SE xperia x10 ...

THANK YOU
Thank you guys for your valuable reply!

I'm using MW600 with Vivaz, and sound is great showing Callers name (if you have it in contacts of course) songs also showing titles and artist at start.

howmuch this ?

Hey i got it few days back for INR 4000 its awesome! Full paisa wasool!

Using the MW600 too.
Heres my 2cents:
- Music Quality is good.
- Cant see track info on display (androids/googles fault)
- Audio quality on calls could be better
- Batterytime is better than exspected
For the price and the possibility to use every headphone i want with a 3.5mm jack its totally worth it .

how is it that it works for you?
hey guys, i also have the mw600 and a galaxy s.. but the experience is different for me..
for some weird reason, the mw600 produces a weird metallic noise, and it distorts the music..
i've read somewhere that other people have these problems too, they say it's because of the android bluetooth stack..
anyway, I suspect my custom rom behind this horrible experience.. i'm using darky's v8.1, and i haven't really done tests with the stock roms..
may i ask what roms you guys have? may save me the hassle of reverting to stock

I've mw600 and I pair it with my captivate successfully. Music quality is good but if I use it for phone call the sound is poor. I don't know what is the problem. I've used many modems but the sound is still not good. Any suggestions?

Tried the mw600. not very impressive but is acceptable.

Ben using out for a while.great little device. Music player on froyo didn't support the button controls but ginger bread does. No id3 heard android it self doesn't support it yet. Call iss good. Vlingo works.

[A] You bet. It even has enough power to drive my Sennheiser HD25, which is surprising to say the least!

Great device , battery lasts very long.
I use it with mdr xb40ex its an awesome combination. Works with Mort Player

Only thing is that android still can not display id3 tags....but great device...

This sometimes happens to me when I am using it with pc...it connects to both the headphone and micro phone call mode profile and advanced audio the same time...results in metallic..echoing sound...may be bruiser the stack is bad...

Does anyone is using it with CM9? Does it support already listing song titles?
And second thing - how long can you listen music on one charging?

Using MW600 with CM9 AOKP build 39- id3 tags work with default player (Google Play Music), sound quality awesome after applying some fixes- definetly would recommend the purchase.
Usage time varies, but usually not less than 8h on one charge.

[REQ] [MOD] headphone volume boost?

I am not sure if i'm putting this in the right category but i figured since this is where the kernel development goes on it would be the best place.
I don't know about anyone else, but i use my phone as an all in one media device, and my main concern is the audio volume that comes out of the auxillary jack. I have tried 3 different ROMs and a few kernels including stock, and when my Inspire's media volume is maxed out playing through my car stereo it doesn't even come close to the volume output of my nexus s and captivate, much less my iPhone. The closest i have been able to get in better audio quality/volume comes from CM7, i am guessing because it is sourced off of AOSP. Even that is at least a notch or two under my cappy, and it makes a big difference.
I was wondering if there is anyway to make a kernel/ROM adjustment to boost the AUX volume output, NOT the phone external speaker.
Gladly willing to donate to a project for this.

Yes, please, I would love this, I use my phone to listen to music in my car and it's incredibly low, only when I turn my car's speakers to max is it at a normal volume... I would love this mod.

Download an app called volume boost.

Been there done that, it boosts the volume but outputs through AUX in mono. Doesnt work too well in my STEREO headphones or car STEREO

I know in CM7 that you can use DSP Manager to boost volume for just headset. Just increase the EQ evenly across the full range.

^^^ I recommend this as well. It works great.

I will try the dsp suggestion. I was just curious if we could figure out a solution for sense roms as well.

There has to be a better way to make this thing loud. I was irritated with how quiet my Rhodium was and this device is even worse. In Rhodium Land I procured a .cab that made my Rhodium obnoxiously loud at full volume. I want some of that.

Ah i remember the terrible audio on my TP2 all too well. Ahhh we need a headset boostt

To touch on the DSP resolution, it did not work. It boosted the power output yes, but distorted the clarity to an unusable extent.
Unfortunately a mod moved this thread because even though it is a development discussion, it seems they aren't enthusiastic enough to support this mod.
I'm offering at least 15$ for this fix..

Low Volume Output
I have just gotten a HTC Inspire 4G, and it's not hard to see that the volume output is doubtfully low compared to most other devices such as an iPhone. I have tried all the suggestions in this thread but none seem to work for a high volume output into a stereo,headphones,are any other jack devies. The EQ seemed to be a good idea I prefer to use my equalizer to sustain a better music experience. So overall I think there should be a mod or a tweak to increase volume output level.
Sent from HTC Inspire 4G

A volume increase, or fix is definitely needed. This phone is too quiet.

There's a fix!
Root your phone and flash Revolution ROM v3.5. I just got back from cranking out Pandora on my car radio and the sound is great!

Check my sense Rom thread there is 2 beta kernels I just compiled with speed tweaks and volume boosts across both speakers and headphones(should in turn boost aux output levels as well). It's LOUD, to the point I can no longer listen to music at full volume. I still need to make some fine tuning adjustments, but I think I'm gonna try dsp manager to help even further. Some libs have to be replaced for dsp manager to work with sense roms, but with the sound boost alone, quality still seems to be pretty good with no distortion(that I heard anyway), and with this and dsp manager, it should be a pretty good fix.
I need feedback so I know what has to be fixed(or not fixed...too loud?, distortion?, etc)
Note these are froyo inspire kernels

It has to be whatever ROM you all are using... I took the exact same songs on CD -vs- my phone, and volume is the same, clean across the board.
No issues here at all.
Then again, I am VERY sensitive about my music and won't touch it unless it has a high bit rate. I also run volume leveling software on all of my music too. That way one song isn't terribly louder than the previous.

I'd really like this, my truck stereo isn't loud enough with the inspire at max volume. I don't want to change ROMs to fix this because every ROM other than what I'm running had some problem I couldn't stomach. However, while I briefly had CM7, it did boost the volume significantly.

Its already done as I posted. Flash the kernel from my (sense rom)thread(you'll have to search for it, but its there. Its stable, fast, and the volume is LOUD.(froyo kernel)

What headphones do you use for your Sensation

And what do you think about it as a mp3 player?
For some reason when I use them with a certain pair of headphones I have when ever the plug moves a little bit it pauses the music or restarts it from the beginning it only seems to do it with my over ear headphines tho. I was thinking about getting v moda crossfade lp but if this problem will continues I don't think I should spend the money on them.

For the past couple of days I've been using my sensation as a MP3 player at work. After about 6 hours and mobile network on, I usually sit around 60% battery. As for headphones, I have like 3 sets of the ones that came with my Nexus One and they work perfectly!

I use the headphones that came with my Zune

ZAGG Smartbuds.... Always with me. The absolute best headphones!!!

Getting the most out of my phone as a media player

My i9000 is my source for tunes on the go, usually its synced to my handsfree box in my car and transmitted over the radio. Its much louder now, but when I used to run it with the aux cord, it was considerably more quiet than a cd playing for example.
The base android player suits my needs fine, but I'm wondering are there any advantages I stand to gain in playback quality/volume in switching to another player, winamp for example? If there was a mediamonkey player for android I'm sure I'd have it long ago but it currently doesn't exist, which I find somewhat surprising.
I'd just like some input on this and just playing music on my phone in general, thanks.

I recommed that you take a look at PowerAMP. I'm linking to the trial (it's fully functional for 2 weeks i think).
The next one is Player Pro. This one is also very good, and has an EQ and everything you'd like to have. PowerAMP has all these features too.
If you like the Zune interface you'll love Uber Music. It doesn't have all the fancy features, but it's easy to use and is quite unique.

Hi, I'm just guessing that you used the headphones out as aux? In that case you get a really poor audio out signal. Headphones voltages does not match those for signals very good. You can however get a headphones amp cheap to bolster the signal. I recommend a cmoy one, they are very cheap and have excellent sound capabilities. Mine is from jds-labs. Good luck

I have both power amp and player pro queued for my galaxy s, I dont mind paying $5 if theres a substantial increase, I like the fact that they download album art automatically. Like I said, the main thing I'm looking for is an increase in playback quality, so I'll see how both of these sound.
I've never heard of this headphone amp stuff before, I use the hands free box in my car now rather than aux, but I'll keep that in mind if I ever start using it the old way again.

Audio hissing

I already used the phone the phone for two days and whenever he phone produces any audio, there would be an annoying hiss to it that lasts for another 5 seconds after the audio stops. This includes the lock screen, keyboard etc. as there are sound effects. I'm using Klipsch S4 ear buds and they've been my daily buds for my iPod for almost a year with no issue. When I use the stock Samsung buds or my senns, the hiss doesn't seem to be AS pronounced but still there. Has anyone had the same problems? I'm eager to know because if this can't be resolved then I'm going to need to replace it.

I don't think it's just us, I think it's all the SGS II's because of the bad quality Yamaha DAC in it.
How long do you have your sound? From what I know, the louder the sound, the more the hiss is heard.

I rarely hear it unless charging myself

The sound for me is noticeable when using my IEMs. I don't notice it when using the stock buds or Apple ear buds. What are you guys using and does it have the hissing sound?
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

I had the same problem...
But it was most noticeable on the first one I got, the second and third return didn't have the problem as bad. The second didn't exhibit it at all but the stuck green pixel in the center of the screen sent that one back. THe third one is not bad unless the volume is maxed out. But the volume rocker on this one squeaks like train trying to stop. I would love to grease it but I am sure that wouldn't be good for the phone.

I hear the hissing too, it's not just for 5 seconds after the audio stops, it's going on constantly.

I have the same issues, which is really annoying when using the Aux cable in my vehicle. It is embarrassing....

I have a fairly large recording studio in my home and a couple of very large 5.1 video systems. Expensive ones. I've plugged the headphone out from my SR into a pair of Bose Roommates, a $1700 Kenwood receiver pushing a large pair of JBLs for the fronts in a 5.1 system, a Soundcraftsman preamp/power amp system running a pair of Bose with a JBL sub, and several pairs of studio quality headphones. The audio sounds fine playing back mp3's, if you consider that mp3's sound fine to start with.

The issue typically presents itself when music is not playing.. while Pandora loads or in between songs...and as i mentioned in my case most notably when charging
In our case I think the car thing is the head unit itself so we are taking it to the dealership

Can't help you much with anything that streams. I hate not being able to call a cab because my phone is dead after I treated it like an entertainment center all day. I carry a 64G iTouch for that sort of thing and loaded the phone with my core of favorite listening material and a few movies just to see how it performed.
I WILL (very briefly) look into it and see if I can duplicate the issue. Being the A/V person I am (15 years as a PBS Producer/Director... after several years as a county government level computer programmer... and an ongoing web development career, all on top of a 48 year career as a performing musician), I'm always interested in that sort of thing.
As I said, I'm reasonably happy with the headphone output's signal. Sometimes it's necessary to run it through a device that actually drops it down to a true line level for some of the more picky gear I have in the studio but that's par for the course with any device with only an amplified headphone output.

It does it with any audio..not just streaming
Any who you and I keep having the same convos cross forums lol
