Hello,
I currently have an original Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I watch a lot of movies on it. I purchased a Galaxy Tab 2 because of the front facing speakers and I thought the volume would be louder. When I compared the two, I noticed that the Tab 2's volume was not as loud and it sounded tinny. Can anyone advise if the speakers on the Note 10.1 are better/louder? Does anyone have a Note 10.1 and a Tab 2 they can compare?
Thanks for any answers in advance,
I've got them both.In my opinion the note sounds alot better!

So in your opinion the Note is louder and doesnt sound as tinny?
If so, then I'm going to pick up one of those bad boys....
the note is better since the sound is coming straight at you instead of to the sides. I actually use the external speakers more often now than with the gtab 10.1.
Ditto. I never use the speakers on my other devices. I use bt speakers or headphones.
I was actually asking if they sound better than the Galaxy Tab "2", not the original tab. I have the original tab, bought the tab 2 and returned it because the speaker were crap..LOL. Do you have a "TAB 2 10.1" and a "NOTE 10.1"? If so, is the NOTE louder? I hope so... :fingers-crossed:
oops, my paying attention skills were lacking yesterday.

No worries. Although someone has to have the two tablets. Anyone? Hello??
Samsung.com says the note 10.1 has soundalive which sounds great on my notebook, but samsung.co.uk says it has 3d sound, no mention of soundalive , I have the Tab 2 10.1 , no soundalive or 3d sound mentioned for that one, though i am quite happy with the sound, it could be a bit louder though, I have an Note 10.1 on order so i will be able to compare them.

Thanks John, looking forward to hearing about your results.
I currently have a gal tab 10.1. Speakers sound pretty good for facing our the sides, but I think this Note 10.1 sounds better. I do use the speakers so that was important to me. Enough so that I didn't buy the Asus Transformer Infinity because the speaker on it is basically worthless .
I'm still waiting on someone who has both tablets and can say that the NOTE 10.1 is noticibly louder than the TAB 2.
It needs to be compared to a TAB 2 , not the original TAB 10.1.
People keep posting how the note seems louder than their orginal 10.1...
BTW, I'm not complaining, just anxiously waiting before I give Best Buy $535.
Thanks,
Rich

I used to have a tab 2 but took it back due to sub par performance. To me, the note 10.1 speakers seem better and are definitely bigger, but I can't say definitively since I haven't had them side by side. My advise would be to try out the note and take advantage of the 30 day best buy return policy if it's not to your standards sound-wise.

I was hoping to avoid needlessly returning ANOTHER perfectly good tablet and sending it to the refurbished bin... :laugh:

I don't have Tab2 10.1", but I did try it on the samsung shop display.
Comparing to the Note 10.1" which I have right now... I can tell you Note 10.1" is louder, and better than the tab2 10.1".
And yes, it has a 3D surround sound, which makes even a lot better when you watch movies on your Note 10.1".
In fact, some of the default ringtones of Note 10.1" also sample(s) of the 3D sound.
I have both the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Note 10.1. I tested the tablets side-by-side by playing the same song from identical MP3 file, using the stock music player with maximum volume for both. I even measured the volume using the Sound Meter app on my Galaxy S2. I can say that the Note is slightly louder (only by 2-3 dB), but the Tab 2 has crisper sound.

Thanks for your input, your post is exactly what I needed to make a decision! :good:
Hi,
I want to buy a new phone and I really care about the speaker during a call.
The best speaker I've heard is the one in the Iphone 5.
But, I don't really like Iphone.
So, is there any smartphone (Android or Windows - prefer Android), that is good and has a loud speaker such
as in the Iphone 5?
Thanks!

Many Xperia phones have great speakers, the Arc S speaker is awesome, easily beats any of my other phones (iphone 4s, galaxy s2, nexus 4) and my sister galaxy s3

I have Sony Ericsson ARC S and the speaker during a call is a lot less louder than the iPhone 5.
Sony Xperia S also have good speaker.
hi
I bought a headphone for my old phone (motorola atrix) which works quite well, now I got a nexus 4 and Galaxy s4, and I plug the headphone in to either phone, I can see the headphone is detected, but the sound is extremely low (max volume can barely heard soud). then I tried a iPod headphone and worked normally. I compare the plug, and they are exactly the same.
why is happening that? if I want to buy new headphone, how can I know if it's compatible?
I'm assuming you have high end headphones. If so then you'll need a portable dac/amp to make them sound good on the S4 or Nexus 4. The atrix has a Wolfson dac, which is better than Qualcomm's, and is more than likely why they sound good paired with the Atrix. The only Galaxy S4 variant with the Wolfson audio chip is the I9500.

I have a Note 2 and I really like the back speaker. When playing music it is plenty loud and does not distort. Has anyone from from a Note 2 gone to a S6? I would like to know how the S6 speaker compares to the Note 2.

I have them both, s6 sounds better. They both have mods that can be done to them but over all I give it to the s6
