Can someone who has the Sensation tell us if it's louder than other HTC phones like N1,Desire,DHD...?
And if louder is it a little or way louder?
Of course I am talking about ringtones
My desire is now rooted so it's louder. But pre root it was about as quiet as this. When the sensation is finally rooted hopefully it will be louder. Might just make some really loud ringtones or notifications just to see if it helps as I don't hear SMS notification sounds.
Oh!
I was dreaming of a new loudspeaker as loud as the Arc one but no
Ringtones and speakerphone sounds please, and clarity/quality as well. I love to watch media and listen to podcasts and don't want to be encumbered by wires/headsets, and waste time uncoiling and putting them on.
Am looking to buy a sensation as soon as I can find a shop that sells one sim free, but am interested to know what the output of the headphones jack is like, my wildfire is great for this, no health and safety noise canceling etc. Was wondering if the sensation is similar?
Thanks in advance

To be honest the volume output is lower when compared to my Nexus One.
However, the extra sound features added to this phone should help out with that problem.
The headphones bundled with the phone are decent. But I am looking to replace them with Beats headphones later on.
Am fairly impressed with volume on the wildfire, on full it can leave a ringing in the ears afterwards.

While I am still waiting for my Sensation, and therefore can't comment on the Sensations output power:
If you get your Sensation and still want more Volume out of your phone, Volume+ might be worth a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023433

Volume+ doesn't work on the Sensation at the moment

Do yourself a favor, get a pair of headphones from true audiophile companies like Shure, Sennheiser, AKG, Beyer Dynamic, Denon or Etymotic. Your ears will thank you.
not even Sennheiser helps
one should write posts about high end headphones and Sensation only if you have tried them
and I tried Sennheiser IE8i with HD2, DHD and Sensation, with first two it is a blast, with Sensation it is a disaster, sound volume is low bass is crapy
so my tip, if you are a music fan (Progresssive, House, Trance,...) don't even think about this phone, not even with SRS
Listening to music via good set of in war headphones and poweramp player which has built in eq settings. Sounds absolutely brilliant. So much better than my ipod. Hooked the phone up to my stereo and the sound was equally impressive.

Agree. Good phones, PowerAmp, Sensation, good combo. The PowerAmp preamp allows boosting volume, and the eq settings should let anyone customize the response curve to their preference.
Just found out that my current earphone is faulty (one side have sound the other side doesn't), so i was wondering if that is any other earphone that will produce a good bass sound like Beats, but beats earphone is way too expensive.
Thanks

if you like plugs then you cant really beat the price of the skull candy inkd and if you want to spend a little more the klipsch buds are nice. i use Shure SE115M only when there is no chance of breaking them. the skull candy are about $15 w/o mic and $20 w/ mic and if you happen to snag them you wont be too pissed if they break.
V-Modas give a good thorough bass, but the sound, depending on genre, production, mp3 quality (I use FLAC), etc. For some better defined bass, not so loud as VModa, still loud though, but definitely better in terms of aural quality you could give the AKG in ear series (330, 540, perhaps 370) a shot.
Look at sennhiser - I had a pair of cx 300 ii which were unreliable and broke (got it swapped - same issue of one cutting out) but for the price were good sounding. A friend has had the same earphones for a while and I don't think his have gone wrong

I 2nd the Skullcandy Ink'd suggestion.
The bass is very good for a $15 pair of headphones.
JVC on ear, over ear,in ear. Cheap and amazing sound quality. Very deep bass and very clear highs. I have over ear for 3 months and I'm enjoin everyday my music. Professional DJ recommended them to me.

Since I thought I lost my cheap JVC Marshmallows over the weekend, I picked up a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd based on the opinions in this thread. I don't know what true audiophile earphones sound like, but I have to say I really like the Ink'd buds a lot. They have solid bass and good sound clarity all around. Thanks to everyone who recommended them.
I did find my JVCs yesterday though. Turns out they went through the washing machine in my pocket and still work great. I think they sound pretty good too, if you're looking for another inexpensive alternative.
I'm surprised that some people actually suggest skullcandy. They suck massive ****. They are incredibly overpriced for what they really are. They are simple 2 dollar production cost generic headphones with the skullcandy logo slapped on. They sound horrible and the value is even worse. If you're going to get skullcandy's you might as well buy generic headphones from a site like dealextreme.com.
If you're willing to go past generic take a look at some sennheiser cx300.
I'm going to link you a site that actually tests the headphones, not just on the reviewers personal ears, but with graphs of the actual frequency response and such! The site has helped me so much in determining what is good and what isn't with precision.
http://www.headphone.com/headphones/in-ear.php
They mostly list more expensive headphones though you can always get them cheaper than at that store. The reason they usually review the more expensive headphones is because the graphs are aimed at audiophiles.
I had a set of Klipsch Image S4. Pretty good monitors, heavy on bass. I'd recommend the S4s since you're looking for lots of base.
Personally, I rock Etymotic now.

I am considering getting monster beats tour high-res with control talk but not sure if it works. Does anyone know whether remote control works fine on htc sensation?

I have heard control talk doesn't work. But if you can test it in a store and download Jays Headset app from the market. The app will map the center/answer/call button to control volume if pressed x number of times and can be customized.
But test out the headphones in the store and call someone using the headphones to see if the mic works for the phone. I have heard conflicting things.

Yes! Do I have the earbuds for you! I recently bought the Klipsch S4 buds and I love them! I did a lot of research before buying and they were highly recommended!

They have great bass response too!
Do you guys know if Klipsch S4 is fully compatible with the button functionality with HTC Sensation?
I'm also thinking about to buy them, I don't like the beats-hype.
Are these ears good for hiphop/[email protected]?

Just use the Jays headset app to map the button presses to control volume. The volume buttons on the S4 do not work from what I know. Only the center, answer end button and mic of course. Introduce the jays headset app and that should solve your probs. I mean you can get the S4a - made for Android, but not really needed.
As for hip hop/R&B it should work great. I have the mid range Shure SE215 and they are pretty good on the bass. The key to better bass in IEH is to get a good seal on the earbuds.

completely agree with the s4/se215, i can also recomend the mdr-ex310lp which have a pretty good bass response with the large driver they have helps alot,
i also have the se215 (i actually found the s4 to have too much sillabance though which is why i prefer the 310lp ) which are great but from looking at your budget they are a bit too much...
I finally have beats tour high-res working thanks to Jays. Only the middle button is operative though, volume controls don't work but they do on my friend's iPhone.
Bass quality is marvelous, only issue is it is a bit overpriced for a pair of earbud.

They are the most comfortable headphones headphones i have used. The sound quality and bass is better than the headphones you get for around 4-5k. I have used Klipsch, Razer, Tekfusion, Sennheiser, Panasonic,Philips headphones these past few months and the Beats, beats em' all
Only problem i experienced is that the volume control keys tends to get loose over a period of time. (not THAT loose though)
I would ask you to go ahead and buy it :good:
P.S. what's the deal that you're getting ?
For me are the best headphones out. I've tried sennheiser cx300 sound-bass and urbeats are 10 times better , extreme bass without noise , srs voice.
I'm using one x's urbeats , i've lose the xe urbeats , idk but urbeats by one x seems to have more high volume

I'm using beats studio, with xe rom on sensation, and it is the best so far, literally I hear the bad quality of an mp3...
honestly for the money you can get better quality earphones, with beats you pay for the name...
I'm currently using the HTC One, while the boomsound speakers are amazing, it really isn't that loud when maxed out.
Can anyone tell me how loud the N5 is compared to the HTC One?
Thanks
Inferior sound quality/loudness

I can't say anything about the loudness, but the speakers of the HTC One completely shatter the one on the N5.
It's the best phone I ever had, but the speakers are really inferior when compared to the HTC One's
