Petty sure the leaked manual showed dual speakers for the N5 whereas the official spec on Google just states "built in speaker".
So, single speaker with dual grills like the iPhone or dual / stereo speakers?
Anyone know for sure? Really hoping the audio is better this time around.
Edit: it's mono
It seems the left grill is the speaker and the right is the microphone.
Sucks ass I was so hoping for stereo, was one of the main reasons of upgrading from N4 .
It also doesnt sound that good! seems very echoey and I have no idea why >.<. Any clues whats wrong with it? at the moment mine actually sounds worse than the N4 lol.
they did the same thing with the g2....
looks like there is 2 speakers as there are 2 grills but actually only one speaker and the other hides the mic

poor quality also it seems
Lets hope 'viper' can be used on this as this made a great improvement on my g2

You have the phone already?
Yeah its odd how they're both identical in terms of looks but only 1 is speaker
just tried an mp3 from Amazon which plays at full bit rate, quality of speaker is reasonably loud but very tinny sadly
Yeah I have the phone already, have had it since 12pm . Must admit that's the only thing really that I can fault on it but I still love it oh and the yellow tinge present however I believe either calibrating the display myself or its something that will go on its own I hope
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
edit: Yellow tinge is simply the display being warmer, I should have checked against my main desktop displays but instead compared it side by side to the Nexus 4 on 4.3 calibrations which the more I look at looks very cool i.e too much blue hence the white looks whiter but a bit too much, the N5 is just slightly warmer than the perfect display however it is actually really damn good and I would only reduce the temp by a very small percent to just get that hint of warmth down.
Display is better than the Nexus 4 calibrated, period.

Wow :0 I got my tracking code at midnight but its still not active just yet. Where you live? Where it ship from, Kentucky?
Sad to hear about the crappy speaker quality. One of the main reason I returned my G2, looks like the Nexus 5 might be using the same speaker setup.
It was literally the worst sounding (tinny, low volume) speaker I've ever heard on a smartphone. My Note 3 is equally tinny, but at least it's loud. =)
Oh well...

iphone 5s does the same thing. I think nokia or HTC are the only ones who actually care about sound

Not liking that the speaker is poor. Really hoped they would have learned from the N4 as that and the poor camera were the reasons I passed.
Seems the only thing they have learned is that placing the speaker on the rear is a bad move. No thought seems to have gone into the quality of the sound produced.
Wish it had surround sound like my n7.2 but oh well

Just something as good as the N95 / 5800 (hard to beat) and even the iPhone which also has only one speaker would be sufficient. I can understand the need to keep costs down but surely the speaker components can't be that dear.
A crappy speaker spoils the user experience for me as I rarely use headphones.

Well playing via A2DP is really good. Just like my S3 if not better due to the bitpool being correct.
Playing via headphones also seem to be fine. Not as good as the S3 for me but once a kernel is out with some decent DAC settings i cant really compare.
Yes the speaker quality is CRAP. Not very loud and also tinny. With some sound mods it will be better i can only hope.
Not talking about speakers, about quality through the headphones /aux!

Can somebody else confirm that the speaker is crap? Is it better or worse than the N4? The one thing I miss about the iPhone is the external speaker, in terms of volume. I could, with the 4s, put it in my pocket and hear the music without a problem. That wasn't the case with the N4.

I affirm it again speaker is crap, probably barely good enough for ringing and calls. Tried to play some dubstep from YouTube and at 50% volume it was far from loud and already starting to saturate. And I'm not a kid that wants to blow is hears off.

I've been trying the speakers out and I gotta say, they're really bad. My dad's super old iphone 4s speaker volume was louder then my n5 speaker when i had it on full blast and he was about 5 feet away. I played youtube music videos on them as well and they sound like ****. Headphones sound fine though.
ive had my n5 for two days now and something that struck me right away was the muffled low quality earpiece it sounds like if somethings covering the opening or something. from the reviews ive read they all claim it to be surprisingly good and better than the n4's, but from what ive used it its night and day worse than my nexus 4 earpiece (which btw is a huge complement to the n4 cause that earpiece is complete garbage cause of the constant hissing noise in the background, the random loudness spikes and random beeps that almost leave me deaf) im starting to think i either have a defective earpiece or the call quality isnt set to the proper setting? its rooted and unlocked on stock 4.4. any suggestions? already reset phone settings am thinking of exchanging it but ehhh probably be 4 weeks b4 i get one
on a side note any news on paranoid android coming to n5?
edit i have the blk 32 gig model ordered from US play store
also id like to add that when i connect my earphones the call quality sounds the same which makes me believe its the call quality itself
My earpiece is really low also . I can barely hear anyone .

That background noise was really frustrating, none of the phones i have got ever had such a crappy issue. This thing is a phone FIRST and all the ****ing rest comes than...

Hey I was wondering how the call quality was with the nexus as the ear piece is pretty small. I have a note 3 and while everyone and their mother gave it a great review for phone quality I'm not very impressed. Is the voice quality loud and crisp? Also, when putting casks on speakerphone how is it? I know the speaker hasn't been reported to be great but sometimes voice is a little different.

if your calling T-mobile to T-mobile on both HD Voice capable devices it sounds really nice so far heres the level of ear piece quality based on network mode
GPRS- Crap
EDGE- Decent
HSPA - Excellent
HSPA W/ HD Voice- Amazing
The earpiece is good its just the quality of the audio coming from it depends on the network mode at least for me this is how it is
Can you hear me now? Good.
I have noticed that most speaker grills are much larger than they need to be. The nexus 5 ear piece is about how much is used. Or so I have heard.

i actually prefer those larger grills for the top phone speaker. well not larger, but wider. like the N4 has it.
with the N5 i have found myself having to adjust where the phone is or a part of my ear will cover up the grill and make it difficult to hear. it's probably just my personal use though, like i press the top half of the phone against my ear too hard maybe
Took my first call just a bit ago and can say that I'm very satisfied coming from an s4. Same, if not better volume/quality. Only complaint is how 'sharp' the top edges are too my ear.

I have difficulty hearing the other side of the line, some times the sound level become so low that I can't hear anything, next minute It has a sharp clear vice, might be the little speaker issues.
OP,
I jumped to N5 from iPhone 5. I see no difference in call quality or earpiece - both sounds fantastic, loud, clear. I had same worries - its so small on N5.
Yeah I figured the small earpiece would be problematic, but it's fine.

I hold my phone away from my face slightly and haven't had issues hearing anyone over 4g.
I got my Pixel 3XL device yesterday and it seems to me that the quality of the front facing speakers is much worse than previous generations. My Nexus 6P had better front speakers. The top and bottom speakers are clearly very different. The top speaker is basically just sound from an earpiece speaker and sounds tinny and not very loud. The bottom speaker is more bassy but muffled. I wanted to know if it's just my unit or anyone else noticed the same. Maybe the regular Pixel 3 is better? The speaker grilles look symmetric on that device.
Thanks!

The top speaker on both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 series does not get as loud or have as much bass as the bottom speaker. They also sound less warm in tone than the 6P, but some have assumed the waterproofing mesh that is used contributes to this.
notifications sound terrible. they only come out one speaker so its not loud and sounds like crap. why in the world would google make it so that only one speaker is used for notifications?? other then that they are fantastic

This is a wide spread issue. Hopefully Google jumps on this quickly. I think they could easily fix them in a software update.

It's been like this for most dual speaker phones. Every HTC , Pixel, and Sony dual speaker phone I've had only uses notifications and call speaker through the bottom speaker. I'm surprised people are just now noticing this. I started a thread on the pixel 2 forum nearly a year ago asking if anyone found a mod to enable the second speaker for notifications and speaker phone calls. Short answer, no.
I am sure we can find a solution by editing the right XML files in the root system directory.
My note 9 sounds better. May have to return this baby as the speakers and camera are my main reason for switching and I don't think either are better.

Figures. Last year the small Pixel had a better screen, so Google fixed that this year. Now they screwed up the speakers. What's next? Oh well, once we get root we can fix the sound. I feel sorry for the Verizon Pixel owners, they won't be able to do anything about the sound.
In the interim, could try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free
Disable musicfx and play with the eq a bit. It's the best option til root is available.

I havent noticed any extra drain. 4hr sot at 53% since
I don't have any way to quantify this, but I think that there might be a break in period for the speakers. While they remain unbalanced in volume output between top and bottom speakers, the clarity, quality and distortion have all improved greatly. The distortion seems to be gone and I no longer can hear any "fuzziness" in the audio. And when watching videos, people speaking is much more clear and understandable. Like I said, this could just be my perception but I'm very pleased by this considering the very rough start with this phone.
All that said, my iPhone still sounds better on balance. But that doesn't really surprise me as Apple has been in the music game far longer.
I Googled it and Google says speakers do have a break in period. Maybe the speakers will sound better the longer they're used. I don't know if it's true or not but you can Google it and read what I did.
Listen to this video around half volume. Listen to your bottom speaker.
Can you tell when holding the phone 12 or more inches away from your face? I am pretty sure that is the use case the sound was engineered for... I can't but my hearing sucks.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Huh, I use speakerphone all the time and I think it sounds great. Also sounds fine to me with videos and that sort of thing where dialog is clear and relatively natural sounding. You folks talking about music playback over the speakers?
Edit... Ok, never mind. Just listened to music through the speakers and that does have sort of a muffled quality to it. I cant compare it because I never use my phones to play music through the speakers but I'm guessing it's usually more clear.
I dont like the imbalance especially since my pixel 2 xl doesn't have it granted the 3 xl speakers have better quality then the 2 XL . i can hear the one side much louder making the other one almost not heard at all because the one side just over powers it
This may not be a sound issue, as a notification issue. I noticed that if you play the notification sound from the settings menu, it sounds clearer, than when it's used in a notification. Anyone else want to try and see if they hear the same?
In general, there is some truth to improved sound after speaker break-in. It's normal high end speaker manufacturer education to consumers.
Hello guys,
I noticed something weird with my new Pixel 3A:
The sound is very low when it's set between 0 and ~75%, and start to become louud only at the end (like 80% and more). But when the audio is set on maximum, the sound is kind of weird... like there is too much "bass", not natural... I don't know how to describe it.
Am I the only one? Is your Pixel 3a audio weak except at maximum?
Thanks

OMG! Thanks for the link. This could be a deal breaker. Strange, though that one poster said he didn't have the issue on Oreo. One reported issue started after 6 mos but didn't link it to OS upgrade. My white 3a is coming from B&H on "1st come" as the inventory replenishes so it could be weeks before it arrives.
Never had a Pixel ($$$) but had every Nexus device (phones and tablets) since GNex--which I kept because of hdmi out. Generally, issues with the phones, but the our last three (N9, 5X, and 6P) had serious hardware issues. LG fixed one 5X --twice; we replaced battery in 6P which revitalized that device. N9 became hopeless. Am wishing for better with the 3a (like the N5--which I'm still using as a device--not phone). The 3a reminded me of the N5 which I really loved as a daily driver.
Please, posters, chime in if you've found this issue, too. TIA.
I've noticed that my ringer and notifications are what's low, the call volume and media seem loud. Not sure what's going on
In fact, I don't care if it's software, I just wanted to know if I have a defect unit...
I will never buy a smartphone with updates not directly from Google again, so I don't care about some software issue, I will always buy Pixels. But my only problem is to know if it's only my device or not. .
Yes, the volume for all things for me is quite low until you get past ~75% like you said.

Thanks for confirming it's not only my device
It's weird, why Google did that? It's like the 100% sound is like 3x or 4x louder than 50-60%! But my maths say to me (correct me if I'm wrong) 50-60% should be half less than 100%.
Today I finally had a chance to play with 3a that was connected to the network and I experienced low volume at about 50% for YouTube playback. In-call volume for conversation seemed OK but I was not able to check ringtone because phone was not accepting incoming calls.
sorry do you mean the loudspeakers or with headphones? or in-call? sound levels seem fairly normal for me i'm afraid, the audio quality is not great but i've punched it up with ViPER. made a call last night and didn't notice the in-call volume being unusual. my alarm was loud this morning. loudspeaker sound quality also not great but that doesn't really affect me.

One guy (on the above linked google page) realized it was the plastic protective cover that the phone came with. It was covering the speaker hole (one of the stereo speakers is located behind the earpiece hole - they are not BOTH at the bottom of the phone). He removed the plastic cover and the sound volume was fine.
So make sure you have removed the plastic and that any screen protector you might have installed doesn't cover the speaker!
Mine seems pretty good--loud. My hearing is very sensitive, though. Brightness, otoh, is sub-par--or calibrated differently. 70% on my 3a = 30% on N5X.
Yeah that's what I mean... At max the audio is like other phones, but at 70 it's lower... Weird calibration.
Hey all, I've been playing around with my phone and I'm not sure if I'm the only one but only one "side" of the cutout actually plays sound. Is anyone else encountering this?

That's the way it works. The other hole is only for optical balance. You have the top speaker which is front firing and one bottom speaker which is down firing

I believe the other hole is actually a mic. This is VERY common in phones with a single bottom firing speaker.
I noticed the Pixel 3a isn't 'really' stereo. I feel like it's mono sound but with 2 speakers for boost the audio.
I don't know if you guys noticed that, when you watch a video or listen podcast... if you put your finger and your block the audio from a speaker, and you do the same thing with the other speaker, the audio isn't the same, there is like 'low freq" (bass?) coming from the bottom, and 'high freq' (normal) coming from the top speaker.
I mean... when you test that with your finger and put the phone near to your ear, you will notice the audio from both speakers is not the same at all, it's weird...
EDIT: I was wondering if I'm the crazy guy who se weird things or issues everywhere but after some research I found I'm not the only one who noticed that, we have the confirmation in the Unbox Therapy video about Pixel 3a:
https://youtu.be/3mlMq3pQyt8?t=687
"It's NOT a stereo implementation. They called that but in reality most of the low-end is coming from here, some high-end is coming from here..."
Did you noticed that guys?
