So I've noticed so far that after playing music on the S6, while it sounds great... it seems the equalizer and the volume itself is... limited as opposed to my old Galaxy S3.
I'm curious to know if this is a Lolipop issue or the Galaxy S6 having a governor on it.
My S3's volume is way louder and gives more punch, while the S6 is softer and not as filling.
Any possible way to get around this?
I have the same thing,,, I can hear others when listening to music,,,kinda defeats the purpose of listening to music LOL.

I'd really appreciate it if someone who has either a Galaxy Nexus or HTC One or both could post a YouTube video that shows how the loudspeaker on the Nexus 5 compares to these two phones. I currently have a Galaxy Nexus and am trying to decide whether to purchase an HTC One or a Nexus 5, and the GNex's loudspeaker sucks. It is important for my next phone to be MUCH louder! I'll go with the N5 if the loudspeaker is decent; the One is my backup plan, so a comparison between all three (turned up to the max for each) would be really helpful. Thanks.

i got the nexus 5 today and the volume levels are my only worry so far.
i got n7 music player app and levels are very low, but playing music with 'Play Music' app they seem louder.
Video however seems extremely low so far (on Play movies app) and i think headphones may be needed for me to watch my movies on it

This will definitely work. My N10 suffers from low volumes and this app makes it a super star. There's also a free version that works great, but to get the equalizer presets the paid is the way to go.

There's another thread in this section about the speaker where a lot of people are saying the speaker volume is kind of low. One person said the Nexus 4, even with its speaker on the back of the phone, was better. Others say the Nexus 5 is a little better than the 4.
People are also pointing out that despite the two apparent speaker grills on the bottom of the phone, it is not stereo. There's just one speaker. The other grill is the microphone. (Since you don't need a whole big grill for the microphone, it's seems like the phone was deliberately designed to create the false impression of dual speakers.)
I think if volume and speaker sound quality is really important to you, you should seriously consider the HTC One. Many reviewers say they are some of the loudest and possibly best speakers ever in a cell phone. It's definitely one of the things that tempts me about the One.
Just got the S5 yesterday coming from S4. I had been listening to music on the S4 in my car via headphone jack day before getting the S5. Hooked up the S5 in my car and seems to be noticeably better. More bass and clarity. Is this my imagination or is there any truth to this? Can anyone else coming from S4 chime in and let me know your findings? I was on modified stock rom with Viper FX enabled on my S4 so maybe this has something to do with it. Just don't remember the S4 sounding as good.

Maybe mind over matter... If anything it was just the same.
I'm in the market to buy some headphones for my s5, but most of the headphones that i have owned in the past, the buttons (play, volume up, down) doesn't work with the android. Are there any good headphones that are compatible with s5, with sound quality that are worth looking at?

http://www.amazon.com/Original-Xiaomi-Earphone-Headphone-Smartphone/dp/B00HUNUOJW maybe not the best in audiophile sound but I've heard good things. Plus Android compatibility and a low price they might be worth trying

-thoughts?
I just recently bought an S6 and it seems then when playing videos via Youtube the voices seem to have a robotic sound to them. Is this a defect and should I request a replacement phone? I heard that the S6 had way better speakers than my old iphone 5 but so far this doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Definitely sounds like a defect. Or maybe a software issue with processing the sound.
I am not sure when it started, it may be the phone. I recently switched to galaxy s7 from s7 edge. I know it worked fine on my edge. But my car audio quality is terrible from my s7 now. I thought my subs were just broken because they were barely producing any bass. Then I plugged my iPhone in (just a media slave) and the bass was strong and clear. I would just Imagine it was the equalizer, but my stock s7 edge was giving the same bass as my iPhone and my s7 may have even, before but now isn't. Just seeing if anyone knows anything about this or what could be the problem. Thanks.
I think I found the issue... But it is still an issue. Ha. Basically amazon music may have changed a way the store and play music... When playing music from my phone storage, the bass was fine. But when playing from Amazon music... Even when the song is downloaded to my phone. It still is playing it at lower quality than it used to. I saw the quality in settings... But should this even apply to songs that I have 'downloaded' to my phone?
