Best cellphone speaker - General Topics

IMO the best speaker I've herd so far is the huawei ascend m860 from metropcs, that speaker is..... awesome, it is the only speaker that I know has bass, it beats the HTC speaker and even the samsung not even the samsung galaxy s speakers can touch that. You can feel the phones bass like a freaking real speaker it is just awesome.....
What's the best speaker you have herd before?

There was a HTC that had 2 slide up speakers and sounded great but All I need is good earbuds It wasted the battery too much to have speakers.

well.. the best loud speaker on a mobile phone that I've seen till date is the one on LG GM200
It has Dolby Surround Sound Technology
- 3 speakers (two stereo speakers + one woofer)

One of the best
HTC Universal
2 big front speakers with great sound

Not sure why manufacturers are blatantly ignoring such an important aspect of a phone, but they most certainly are. I would sacrifice a lot to have very good speakers on a phone. As for the SGS, I own one and the speakers are definitely overrated imo.
Waiting for the day someone will make an android device with a blackberry like speakerphone.

Speaker of cellphone
Hi,
I am using both Samsung and Nokia cellphone but speaker of the Samsung is the best one. Please try it.

Must say that I am liking the X10 Mini speakers and gladly use it.
Not a really great sound but more than accaptable, with some (itty-bitty)traces of bass-sound, too...
Compared to the built-in speakers in the Netbook, a Hazel phone and a passive pocket stereo speakers. The X10 Mini's Mono speaker is really great.

Trust me tho not better than the huawei ascend I tried the samsungs speakers and not even close, which freakin irritating because here we got this wack ass phone the huawei ascend m860 from metro pcs and its got a better speaker than the best phones out there which are the samsung and htc it is sad, these companies have the money to build a much better speaker yet they are ignoring that important part of the phone. And I agree samsung has a better speaker than htc but its not that great either, they both sound like **** compare to the huawei ascend.

Speaker quality - Touch HD vs Xperia vs Omnia

Just a quick question about the speaker quality of these 3 phones. I would like to occasionally listen music directly from the speakers. I've read tons of reviews and the only thing missing is the actual speaker quality. Which one is the best? From what i read here, touch hd's speakers are awful while Xperia is supposed to have great sound. Can anyone comment?
I've weighed all the pro's and con's, and Touch HD was winning, but then i read about the poor audio quality of the speakers, and since i hate the fact it has no flash, it seems i'm gonna get Xperia.
So, in terms of music listening (both with and without headphones), which one is best of the three?
hd
I have and HD and quality of speakers are just normal. I think there is only one speaker.
If you have that item on first priority then there must be better alternatives than HD. It´s obviusly better (and comparable to other phones with the same category) when you use good headphones.
But before make a decision just try to hold an HD in your hand....you will buy it for sure
Joe
That's not my first priority, but considering HD has no flash, that's the second MAJOR drawback for me.
Could you compare the sound from HD to that from TyTn if you've heard it? The sound on my TyTn is just awful
As far as holding it - i live in a very small town, and opnly place to see the devices is my local carrier. And they don't allow the device to be turned on. Other carriers allow it, but don't have Xperia or HD
Hard for me to imagine why not having a flash is such a huge thing, but to each their own.
As eljoe said, try out the devices first hand before you buy.
You're spending some good coin, so maybe making a drive to a nearby city that has the phones you want, and you're able to use them.
I too have a TyTN, and am disappointing also, but I don't htink you'll be happy with the sound from any phone's speaker.
Remember, you're very limited by the kind of sound you're going to get from most phone speakers, since the speakers are so tiny...
Well, i'm not exactly looking for dolby surround here, but i'm hopeing for something better than TyTn speakers. Atleast so the mp3 ringtones sound good.
And like i said, i'm not exactly in a position to try out the devices.
Go for the samsung I8510 (Innov8), has some great speakers on it.
I think out of the three the X1 has the best sound... In a relative way of speaking. The sound will still suck, kind of. Good luck!
Sorry I´m off topic here, but wanted to say that non HD or Xperia have the speaker quality that has Universal with it´s stereo clear sound speakers.
Just my opinion...no ofense to anyone
I got the HD and the speaker quality sucks big time.
Whenever you put on speakerphone the voice distorts. Music distorts aswell so you must turn it down.
My brothers n95 with two speakers doesn't distort at all.
The Nokia 5800 has the best speaker sound Ive ever heared on a Cellphone....
Looks like the up coming Touch Pro2 is designed with stereo sound & conference call speakers...
From HTC site:Speakerphone Innovation
Nothing ruins a conference call faster than not being able to hear what is said, or make yourself heard. The HTC Touch Pro2 puts crystal-clear sound quality and voice reception at the core of its design. In fact, it is a palm-size professional conference phone with a loudspeaker and dedicated noise-cancelling microphone that delivers superior quality conference calls.

Yeah galaxys it seems that TP2 have great speakers!
I can´t wait to put my hands on it!
The only windows mobile phone that has loud decent quality speakers is the Samsung SCH-i760. Also, I have this phone, and it is one of the loudest. The bass i much better than HD, X1, and Omnia.
It isn't as good as an N95 but it is the best stereo speaker phone that has windows mobile.
AFAIK, HTC doesn't even have an acoustics design team for phones. So, anything from HTC, I would say speaker quality would be bad to mediocre, and that too by chance.
If speaker quality is high on the priority list, go for phones by companies which at least try to do some research on acoustics. Examples: Nokia, Samsung, LG, etc.. But definitely not HTC. And Xperia is also manufactured by HTC, so no, I would automatically dismiss that one too.
ultill now the best loudspeaker i tried is from my XpressMusic 5800. the stereo speaker rocks. 2nd best was touch pro 2. very realistic sound . both the X1 and the touch HD louspeaker sucks.. cant even hear anything, too sharp, not even a single percent of bass. hurts my ears. PS: tested omnia 1 and omnia 2. acceptable sound quality but i think nokia still wins in the loudspeaker comparism
^yes, the TP2 speakers sounded very sweet!
The best sound devices (stereo dual speakers of course) are Universal and TP2
i have a x1 and can tell u that the speaker quality is very poor. the phone itself makes very good quality sound through the headphones but the speaker is very poor (and there is only one speaker, if money is not a option the x2 2 speakers which i hear but can not confirm are higher quality than the x1 speaker).

Then the surprise comes not expect it to work the remote control that is integrated and works partially, you can call, answer and end calls, and put the pause and play the music
The only thing that does not work, which would be perfect, are the keys to raise and lower the volume, it hurts, but it will not work as thought nothing, because something good is, that almost complete functionality. even though I have to see if it works the handsfree, (micro) to hopefully work to see if you then test and confirm
Worth it because as you know these headphones are of very good quality, if you could make any application or modify the registry or something to activate the function of the volume and would be perfect.
if anyone knows anything, I would be very well the Swift.
greetings!
EDIT:
Confirm! the speakerphone(microphone) works perfect
sorry for my english guys.
Ups, sorry for double thread, as you can delete the other?

we know
there are lots of iphone compatible headphones around, that do work with the HD2 (and the HD) I have a few sets.
My favourite ones are some really cheap ones I bought for less than 15gbp, especially as they are cheap enough that I dont care if I damage them
(I've just found some mm50ip for 18gbp - 5% )!
But you lose the music control (<< and >>) by not using the included ones, so one option is to solder some earbuds onto the existing HD2 controls..
this really should be in the accessories forum.

I would be very carefull when buying good heaphones for such a cheap price, I originally cancelled my order with amazon twice after I found this great website http://fakeheadphones.com and made sure I was getting them from amazon directly!! As I didnt want to end up with a pair of duds
After showing that site to one of my mates, he worked out he'd been sold fakes from ebay a while ago... he wondered why they broke so quickly!
If it's too good to be true...walk away
Hello fellas!
just buy an adaptor with remote and plug your favorite inears toy!
check 4 it on ebay.

Ipod earbuds are really bad. Not clear, bad lows, bad highs. Just look at headfi.org and watch for a good headset like nuforce ne-7m (only a a bit more expansive then Senheisser) or some RE0. Senheisser is really popular but just as bose, you pay for the name. But they aren't bad. Once you hear the difference between some apple earbuds and some high quality one's you never go back.

I guess perhaps all headphones with remotes for the 3Gs would work then???
funny thing is iPhone is so annoyed of Google...they are considering to makeBING their default search engine...
Microsoft and Apple cooperation would be pure comedy. lol
The apple headphones aren't the best, i agree. But the remote function is bloody excellent and there are some quality headphones from top companies that support apple but not htc. If this could be developed it would be great but it's not likely. At this rate, ill be heading back to the iphone, the phones just too convenient.
i have the headphones that work fine. they are good in quality and reasionable at price.
how much cost this headphones?
i wonder how is this relevant to HD2 themes and apps?
this should be in the accessories section!!!

Ultimate ears has very expensive in ear headphones, dont be shocked by the prices. scroll down and get a vi model, they vary from 19 dollar to 400 dollar, mine where 39 dollar (vi version) and you can call with it, regulate sound and skip through numbers, best in ear phones imho

I've tried various headsets from Nokia and Samsung, but the microphones don't even work with the Desire or DHD, let alone the play/pause/skip buttons. Not a fan of the in ear headsets myself, but would be interested in a slightly longer set than the ones that come with these handsets.

Same here with some Bose earbuds slapped on to them, only problem is the volume isn't that great plus I use the A2DP Volume app and that doesn't do much in the way of boosting the volume.

In ear, awesome bass, and really durable. I've had them for a few months and haven't had an issue. Never knew what they were capable of until I listened to "Lil Wayne - Nightmares of the Bottom" with the "beats mod" from the XE software. Bought them for about $75, but they're no longer available.

Holy sheeet! Finally a thread that isn't about BEATZ. Newbs think that having beats make them an audiophile and that BASS IS EVERYTHINGGGZZZZ OMGZZZ.
Anyways here's my MS-1i, hoping to make a C-Moy amp soon and maybe get a headphone with a bigger soundstage, any to recommend ?
Im not a big spender on a pair of headphones but I have many pairs more than this I just don't use them anymore.
The skull candys were about $50. The amplifier requires a battery and it is heavy. The amplifier detached itself from my cloths and put a lot of stress on the audio jack so now only one earphone works. I put it up because I can still tweak it to get the other earphone to work and it has okay bass.
This is what I am currently using. Its nice because I can listen to music wirelessly (if that is a word) and the sound is alright with the right equalizer app.
If I am able to afford it, are there awesome headphones that are bluetooth or wireless in any way? And how much would they send my back?
Here's my headphone.
What would you guys recommend, in ear wise for around £70-80? Been looking at Shure se215 and a few of the klipsch S4 series

Galaxy S4's speaker: It's quite good!

Although there was another thread that touched on the S4's speaker volume, it was moved to Q&A as it was a question thread.
This thread is here as an informative thread so it belongs here, and will serve to show that the S4 is no push over when it comes to speaker loudness.
This review here (taken from GSMArena) shows us that the S4's speaker is certainly no slouch and is actually louder than the HTC One.

I think this could have been discussed in the review topic.
But anyways, this is to be expected. I remember in my physics class there was an equation that proved it doesn't matter about the number of speakers you have. 2 speakers doesn't double the loudness. It's the amount of power each one has. It would take 10 speakers of the same kind fo literally double the DCB.
Something like that. My profession is mechanics, not audio or electrical.
But if my memory serves me correct, the power into two speakers is the reason why the HTC One doesn't seem as loud. But what it does have is STEREO where the SGS4 is MONO.
Some nice info!
wow, that chart is really uesful.
I am going to buy LG Optimus G Pro version soon.
I hope it's better than Optimus G.

The loudness doesn't matter. Phones are already loud enough as it is. It's the quality of the sound, and from the looks of it the 7.9mm body will only support a small driver that distorts like crap at higher volumes and sound tinny and sucky in general. For generic polyphonic ringtones its fine, but anything more, especially when you put some mp3 clip of a pop song as your ringtone, and your ears will bleed from the distortion and general bad quality. Forget about using it as a boombox. From reviews I can gather that the BoomSound on the HTC One sounds a lot better than the S4, disregarding loudness output. They really didn't need to put stereo speakers on it, as even when close up to the phone in landscape the stereo separation probably is very minor in such a small thing.
Need a video of the s4 compared to note 2 or htc one for the speakers loudness.
Charts are one thing but I'd like a visual experiance!
no fanboy here but I cant believe the iPhone 5's speakers are below average. I think it sounds pretty good. Either the chart is inaccurate or the LG Optimus G is really that good.

This thread is here as an informative thread so it belongs here, and will serve to show that the S4 is no push over when it comes to speaker loudness.
This review here (taken from GSMArena) shows us that the S4's speaker is certainly no slouch and is actually louder than the HTC One.
The full review can be found here http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_htc_one-review-913p5.php

Quite frankly, I'm taking GSMArena's findings with a heavy table spoon of salt. Every other reviewer claims that the One is significantly louder than what GSMA are claiming.

Did they measure the levels though? GSMA is saying HTC is better cause it has cleaner sound, that's the ultimate thing not dB count, it sounds (heh) like a fair assessment, Samsung phones are quite loud (speaker facing the air). HTC's improvement is in quality.
Well, for me the important measure is dB, not quality. I don't listen to music through tiny phone speakers (that is what headphones are for).
I just care that the speaker is loud enough for an ear piercing ringtone that can be heard over background noise.
Side note, a strong vibrate would be nice too. The one on the LG Optimus G is so weak I never feel it, even when it is in my pocket.

I agree, I also prefer SLCD3 over SAMOLED, but this isn't about screen tech, it's about Db's (max speaker loudness), lets keep it on topic.

No he isnt, he is right. I owned the iphone 5 and i can say that it has one of the best audio quality ever. Not only are the speakers nice loud and clear, but the audio through headphones is just an absolute pleasure to hear. Seriously great quality.
The speaker
The speaker is very good on the S4. Balanced and there is a lot of clarity in the sound though it might seam that it was a tradeoff with volume for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kR8NzAzdHY
