I currently have Sensation 4G, and the speaker is terrible (not clear and loud, very difficult to hear in moderately noisy place). Even my 4 year old blackberry and 10$ Nokia has a better speaker. How is the feedback on HTC One S regarding speaker volume and sound quality on it?
The dual speakers on the front. In don't have the tablet yet... But how is the sound output? I loud and clear?

The sound output is, considering it's a tablet, loud and clear.

Surprisingly good actually.
Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
Best that I've heard from a tablet so far...I actually had to turn the volume down b/c notifications were so loud.

This video review should answer all your questions.

so far the best tablet speakers i've heard is on my old archos 101 (back facing, though). i'll find out if the gn101 beat them tomorrow.
Playing Lady Gaga Bad Romance YouTube video with max volume this is how I would rank the devices on a rough by ear loudness scale:
Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G = 1 baseline (mono)
Galaxy Note 10.1 = 3.5 (stereo)
That's with the Nexus 7 and Epic 4G on a surface to reflect the sound since the speaker in on the back side otherwise it's about half as loud. GN 10.1 speakers are much louder without the need for reflection since they're front mounted plus there's no noticeable distortion, rattle, crackling, etc. These are the best speakers I've heard from any tablet and also a lot of laptops. It's a pancake boombox.

+1
I think it's just as good as the Galaxy Tab 8.9, just front facing.
Sound is amazing. For even better sound and to make them even louder, install volume+ app. My device is super loud with no distortion. Increased bass also. Sound is great without app. Add the app and it takes the sound to a whole new level. With this having true stereo speaker separation and bigger speakers, the sound output is the best I've heard of any mobile tablet or phone.
P.s. volume+ is not needed. But I always love to crank things up even more.
Hi,
So after reading a bit on the nexus speaker issue, I was trying to figure out if my nexus has the same issue.
The volume is great but it has this vibrations which are caused by the sound regardless of the volume.
I was looking on this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529878&page=22
I bought the LG speaker because I'm looking to improve the speaker quality.
My shipped nexus has HH_SKU_2_1025 and the one from ebay is 1027.
Both present the same vibration when it comes to lows and high pitch sound.
Does my nexus suffer from different sound quality issue as others report or does anyone who reads this gets the same crappy sound quality (not low volume)?
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 2's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It's normal.. For me sound is quite low on outdoors..
For me its way too low outdoors, i can barely hear it ringing.
surprisingly better than most others
i hear it ringing even outdoors, and the quality of conversations is quite good and loud.
the problem is with the microphone while making a video. VERY VERY weak and low quality. WHY LIKE THIS?
Phone speakers are really louder as of One+1. That little bast*rd is louder than my laptop speakers!
In front of OPO, OPT speakers are very very worse: while on Waze, I can hear difficultly traffic hints. Also ringer is too low.
Yes I totally agree. Speaker is not the strong point on this phone. I can hardly hear anytime I am outdoors. With or without MAX audio setup. I hope with future ROMS they can tweak the speakers a bit.
very low for me...
It's way too low for me when I'm outside. Can't even hear the other person. Wasn't this way with OPO.
Speakerphone seems to be OK though.
speaker...
i find the speaker to not be very clear when i use speaker phone. expected better with a nearly $400 phone.
The speaker phone is the worst part of this phone IMO
Not good to be anywhere near other flagship's
it seems speaker would blow-off on full volume. and if lowered, u need to concentrate on the talks
Do you guys use the audio tuner thing by oneplus, that seems to make the volume louder for me.

Coming from the Moto X PE the one speaker at the bottom sounds so sad. I also am having to train myself not to cover it up on accident. For me it is way to quiet or too loud.
Coming from a Galaxy S6, the speaker on the Pixel is significantly louder and clear. I have not been jaded by an HTC set of speakers so I might be in the minority that thinks the Pixel speaker is great.
Coming from N6, I was worried that the XL's speaker will not be as loud. I can confirm that it is as loud, if not slightly louder, but the dual speakers on the N6 has more depth. Overall, I am not as worried as before.
The quality is good, could be louder.
The sound on my end is great, the people on the other end say it's muffled at times. Since I use speaker all day for conference calls I will have to return the Pixel XL

This makes me feel better since I am coming from a N6 and absolutely love the speakers. I'm going to miss FFS, but at least a quality sound will comfort me.
Not loud enough...and sounds bad in comparison to other phones i've had in the past (even single speaker ones)
Speaker is pretty bad as far as media/games is concerned. RIP stereo. It's good for normal notifications though.

You keep badmouthing the phone yet provide no information for comparison. What other phones have you had, even single speaker ones, that sound better?
This is very subjective anyway
My comparison is with the 6p. Single speaker comparison is the lg g3. The speaker is not terrible on the pixel, but just not as good as one would expect in such a high priced phone. Also, the placement is horrid since you accidentally keep blocking it while watching videos of playing games in landscape.
But otherwise, a fantastic phone which really define what great software and hardware can achieve
Its ok. Not nexus 6 good ofcourse. Its nice for notifications
I made a video comparison between the speakers on the Nexus 6p and the Google Pixel XL. Check it out.

I typically run the phone through bluetooth when listening to music, however I must say that when watching videos I, like others have said, block the speaker. Coming from a Moto X Pure I don't think the speaker on the Pixel is quite as good. It's not bad per se, but I don't need the speaker to be spectacular when watching a video. Notification sounds are plenty loud for me. I haven't used the speaker phone option much, but when I have it has been fine.
I find the single speaker avg. I sometimes cover the speaker with a pinky or palm by accident and muffles just a slight flaw but not a deal breaker.
RIP my Nexus 6's front facing speakers. This is my only major gripe with this phone so far. So disappointing. Front facing speakers should be standard.
Max volume loudness seems about the same as my 6P. My 6P gets crackly at max volume, while the XL does not. Definitely less bass on the XL though.
Coming from the N6 it is not really a fair comparison because the stereo front firing was louder and clearer to me.
The Pixel XL speaker sounds OK and perfectly acceptable for notification. It would have been better if the earpiece was also used as a speaker and the location of the bottom firing speaker flipped with the mic for media.

It sounds deeper than my note 7 did. I like it better. The only issue I'm having is my notification tones seem to only be about 2/3 the volume they should be. Example is, if I go to Zedge and preview a notification tone, it sounds fine. Set it as notification sound, and it's only about 2/3 of the volume it was in the preview. I have everything I can find turned to the max. Idk.

Ditto to this. MXPE spoiled me in sound quality. Why doesn't every phone have front facing speakers? We certainly got the bezel for it...
