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:
Hiya, it's coming up to my upgrade in a few weeks and I just got myself a pair of beats solo hd headphones, I was wondering if the music sounded as good through the headphones on the galaxy note 2 as compared to the iPhone 4S?
Also does the control talk mic work with the note 2?
I had one more question, is it just me or is there a shuffle option on android phone music players?? I've had galaxy s2 and note 1 but I could never shuffle my music!!!
Yeah so just wondering of people's experiences with the galaxy note 2 and beats by dre headphones
Many thanks
So the Note 5 is out and it has something called "Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQA)" Is it possible to port it to the Galaxy s6 and 6 Edge?
I feel this is similar to viper or xtreme. I recommend checking one of them out as it will probably give you more features as well.
In case it's unknown, UHQA has already been added in the software update to the Galaxy S6 Edge on August 24(today).
I don't hear all the white noise anymore with UHQA
It is smooth sound. I really enjoy the UHQA.
It does what I used to spend hours trying to do with Viper4Android.
I'm A musician to so it compliments SoundCamp Studio well, which I also really enjoy.
There is compatibility issues with both Viper/UHQA
enabled at once though.
Hi there My question is about the music sound quality you get and why?
I have a Samsung Note One just to listen to Spotify because I get the best sound from my Sennheiser Momentum inears.
I need to because my daily phone the Samsung J7 2016 is not even close producing the sound I get from my Note One.
My question(s) is how is this possible with the years in-between those devices have?
Shouldn't it be the same or better.
What makes the sound come off better between some devices.
I would my next phone have the same sound quality or better(???) like my Samsung Note One, how do can I see this in the specs or know this before I buy it?
A phone that old keeps surprising me.
i enjoy it everyday!
Could be great if someone could make jukebox rom for this phone so it only runs and updates players like Spotify.
I hope to get some answers to my questions, I'm realy confused why the sound quality difference.
My last note, the 9, had very poor speaker and Earpiece quality and volume. Compared to the iPhones it's a joke really. The iPhone got twice as loud as the Note 8 or 9. Yes, I know sometimes we use ear buds and headphones...
Does anyone know what the 10 sounds like? Didn't they hide the earpiece or make it significantly smaller in this new model?
I don't see any of these initial impressions or hands-on videos mentioning anything about call quality or speaker volume or anything like that.

Saw a speaker comparison and the s10 plus is just slighty louder than the note 10 plus. And my S10 plus is WAY louder than my note 9.
Note 10 plus also louder than iphone xs max although i feel the iphone had better bass (and I am saying that as someone who hates apple lol)
i also listened to my note 9 vs note 10 plus side by side in best buy and it is far superior.
Best Buy has the Note 10 on display now?
Thanks for your insight.

Just saw it at Costco. Definitely louder than the Note 9. Still tinny though.
