Are there any single-ear BT earpieces that deliver and receive HD audio/wideband audio when using Skype, for example?
I had a Jawbone Era Shadowbox but that was only capable of receiving audio of that quality. The audio transmitted was low quality and muffled - only telephone quality. Not what I was looking for as I would like to use the earpiece with a laptop occasionally for video calling.
I believe the Jawbone Era 2014 model is capable of delivering the HD/wideband audio I am looking for, but I would prefer to take first-hand experiences not tech reviews.

Hello guys,
I am interested in buying the HTC chacha. I want to use it as a portable music player too, so i want to ask about the audio quality with headphones plugged in (loudness, sound quality). My headphones are good so that won't be an issue.
Thanks!
Sound quality is not as good/loud as it was on my Blackberry 9700 BUT the phone makes up for it with the all the quality audio apps in the market.
Try out Power AMP by Max MP and Music by Google Inc.
I'm using Audio Technica ATH-M50 Pro Studio Monitors.
Thank you for your reply, Eric. That was a really good comparison, i know BB 9700 plays music very nice with headphones.
I think i'm going to buy the Chacha...still waiting for other opinions about audio quality, though.
Btw, i have Razer moray black, hope it'll be a nice match.
Audio quality is pretty good for the average listener, but it drains the batter pretty quickly.
I bought the phone yesterday and I'm liking it so far. Taking out the battery is a pain, much like other HTC phones.
When I have to do paperwork I enjoy stay listening to music with TuneIn Radio app. Very good so far. Yes it drains the battery.
Hi!
Audio quality is a considerably important factor to me when I purchase a phone. I have a pair of Westone 4 IEMs (high-end), so my question is simple.
How good is the sound quality on the HTC One S?
I used to have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and the audio quality with voodoo sound fix applied was reasonably good imho, does the HTC One S compare?
Please do not comment on d sound quality with the headphones that are included with the phone or other cheap headphones, that includes Beats Solos.
Depends on what sound you want to know about.
The external sound is great. It achieves a decently high volume with minimum to no distortion. Beat audio does NOT effect the external sound, meaning it has no effect and does not turn on. Although the speaker is on the back, it does not get muffled if the phone is face up. For me, this speaker was an EXTREME upgrade from my Nexus One. I was surpirsed how well it sounds and how loud it can go.
[*]The in-call sound is real good as well. Not too much to say here, its real easy to hear the other person and it has been the most life-like sound I have experienced in regards to in-call sound.
The headphones have real good quality (ones I bought, this device does not come with a cheap pair by default). I think that Beats does good when it comes to enhancing the sound of music. Some think it is extremely amazing, I think it helps out greatly, but does not give completely unbelievable sound that you never heard before. It basically boosts bass and treble slightly giving a bit of a crisper sound over stock. I still use PowerAmp (media player) which has its own separate EQ system. It sounds amazing when combined with Beats.
Conclusion, Beats + good headphones = amazing sound quality, Beats + good headphones + additional DSP EQ setting (such as PowerAmp) = Best quality you will ever hear. I am an audiophile and I have to have my music sound perfect for all genres, rap to rock.
How good is the sound quality for music playback ?
I tend to use my current HD2 for MP3 music player quite a lot & with quite a good headset sound quality is very good but have had better.
Also does it support wired music control headset ?
Interested in getting the Razr HD but poor headset sound quality would be a deal breaker.
What are your opinions/experiences ??
I use my Maxx HD with a cheap set of Philips headphones and I am very pleased with the audio quality. Sounds crisp and clear and definitely plenty loud!

I think the sound on the Razr HD is absolutely fantastic. I use set of Bose TriPort LE's and the bass and sound is very crisp. Much better then any other device I've used, including my Nexus 7 tablet.

Am using Etymotic er-6i earbuds. These earbuds are very sensitive (i.e., they are louder at lower power). I'm not really an audiophile. generally i prefer a "neutral" reproduction (no equalization)
The music playback on the Razr HD seems acceptable. It's comparable to my HTC desire, and just a bit below my sony MP3 player. The main issue is a low-volume static hiss that only occurs when sound is actually playing (no hiss during silence). I hear it clearly when volume is on the lowest setting. At the 2nd or 3rd volume it's basically unheard.
The amplifier is pretty powerful. Normally I listen to 8/30 on my sony, and that's about equal to 2/15 on the razr hd.
The equalizer was set to "bass punch" by default. Make sure to turn it off and/or pick your own preferred settings.
The center-button from my HTC earbuds will pause/start music. Haven't yet got other buttons working.
I've been wondering how people's experience of the N5 audio aspect is, speaker wise and headphone wise. Would love to know feedback on this as to site chances in which I could enhance their audio aspects.
If anyone could answer the following queries I have I would gladly appreciate it.
- DSP tunneling (In regards to the 60 hr playback)
- Speakers are Stereo like the N7 2013 or Mono
- Audio codec being used (Preferably in the audio conf file under /system/etc/media_profiles.xml and mixer_paths.xml)
- List all the libs named audio in system/lib/hw
Thanks a million guys
Im pretty sure the audio is mono.

Yup the device output is mono and it's not very good either. The speaker falls weak of everything apart from Bass. It just feels to be lacking. I have used a G2 and the speaker is much louder and clearer, but the speaker on the G2 is only mono too which leads me to wonder whether the Nexus uses the exact same speaker as the G2 but the software on the Nexus limits it's output.
To me audio is quite a big thing, as ridiculous as it sounds I do sometimes play music out of my phone, and I also use YouTube out loud. I have noticed with the Nexus 5 is is sometimes hard to hear notification sounds, especially in the morning when I am on the bus for example. I know it's not just my device there are numerous reports about this around the web and do not confuse this issue with the tinny audio bug, this simply is the speaker quality.
In terms of headphone output, no complaints.

Sorry for the late reply but thanks for your input in this. Very helpful! I'll see what I can do. The idea being the dsp tunneling is what disturbs me the most. I'm tempted to order one to see about it.

I recently paid for the full premium Tidal streaming music service. I did this to get the best audio quality with their lossless HiFi bitrate. I'm thinking I may not even be getting the benefits of the higher bitrate because of the hardware and how I'm using it. I am using it on my S9 plus but exclusively using it with bluetooth. Bluetooth into my car stereo and bluetooth into my Anker Liberty Air earbuds. The earbuds only support basic codec as well.
My question is am I receiving any benefit from the HiFi bitrate ($19.99!) since I'm only using it with bluetooth with car/earbuds. Would say youtube audio give me the same sound ($9.99)
Thanks
