hello everyone guys,
im using galaxy s5 and Moto x 2014,
im music lover, i like to music only via phones.
currently i have sony 20$ earbuds, but i want a best sound,
then some one suggested me headphones like audio technica m50x and expensive headphones,
and some said that studio headphones have no use on mobiles,
is that true? how to get highest audio quality as possible with my phones? i know its also depends upon mobile but s5 and moto x2 have enough quality to deleiver enough high output,
so please suggest me, what should i buy or which headphones,
thanks
Has someone tested the audio quality of the Mi 4C?
I mean the earphones one during call and with music.
I would like to know if it is comparable with Htc One M8...
Thanks!
not tested the earphones, but the built-in speakers are very loud!!
Thank you kelkelkel, could you please tell me when you'll try the headphones?

Stereo or mono speaker?
Speaker or Headphones?
The mi4c has superb sound. My headphones (beyerdynamic tp51p) really become alive. You'll not be dissapointed.
Finally I've tested the phone and the audio is low and poor, in my opinion.
I've tried three pairs of earphones. I think it is worse than my old Moto G 2013.
Anyway installing Cyanogenmod the volume is good and the sound is more crystalline.
So the problem is the Miui software...
We are still very far from the quality of HTC or even iphone.
Equalizer, earphones enhancing are honestly not very useful. In Cyanogenmod instead the equalizer runs well.
Anyway the price of the phone is very good but I can not recommend the purchase to audiophiles users or those who want a particular quality of listening .

Stock? I've haven't found any earphones in the box.
Did you try to ear from Htc, S6 or iPhone? It is very different, I repeat, this is my opinion!
Didn't you noticed that the max volume is low yet?
I tend to agree with @HarryCustom, max sound quality is so so under miui even with the enhancements. No contest compared to my M8, both speakers or headphone. Waiting for sound mods when available since I have rooted it already.

I've installed that rom, but I think the mod is not working, the audio is low yet.
It was a problem anyway because I've decided to use Cyanogenmod, in my opinion is more stable than Miui...

Is that miui build more stable than the default Chinese one?
I am Italian, so I've received the phone with a modded stable rom with plenty of bloatware.
So I've flashed the Miui.eu rom and cooked Smiui.
I think all the roms are immature, but this a common problem when you buy a new android phone.
I've tested both Miui and Cyanogenmod for a week. In my opinion there are not so much difference in stability.
But maybe I excedeed saying that the other one is more stable, to tell the truth te only sure thing is that I think Cyano fits better for me.
I am sure only about one thing the sound is different and better with Cyanogenmod...
Are there any apps in the play store that can change the sound quality? Sounds like it has a lot of bass
Hi you can try Eizo Noozxoide, in my opinion is the best audio adjustment app.
Anyway if the audio is poor, is poor...

Here are some actual values for the Mi4C (Running the Chinese version of MIUI) and iPhone 6s, and as you can see they perform practically the same, but the iPhone is louder (not shown here) and the stereo crosstalk with Headphones attached is more than a bit disappointing. How is the sound better with CyanogenMod? In what way? Can you hear more distortion or worse dynamic range in compared to other phones? I'm waiting for my Mi4C to arrive, and I'm somewhat the audiophile (though that's not why I bought this phone, it just has the least amount of compromises for the price).

Hi xdadevet and sorry for my terrible English, I am not an audiophile, not at all. I tried both on Miui.eu, the last rom available, and Smiu with volume boost patch (that seems to be not useful) and I noticed more distortion and worse dynamic range than on CM12.1 Alpha.
Maybe my phone has some issues, but this is what I've noticed. It's not very difficult to understand that, I can't need to be an audiophile to say it: for expample on both miui I can keep the headphones in my ears even with the maximum volume and, the sound is distorted , unclean and weak. On CM the sound is crystal clear , the equalizer works well and the phone sounds a little better than my old Moto G (always on CyanogenMod), at maximum volume I'm forced to take off the headphones. I was hoping that the Mi 4C sounded better anyway!
Using the sound enhancement by Xioami (all the profiles are for Xiaomi earphone, any other earbud has to use the general one ) ths situation is the same, you can ear a bit better, but volume and distortion are the same. I've tried a pair of Blox, Edifier H110 and Baldoor E100.
Maybe with another type of headphones you can change the situation, but I think there are some problems in Miui management of audio, as the sound quality has to be the same on CyanogenMod.
To conclude, we are very far from HTC , just yesterday I made a comparison between listening Mi4c with CM and an One M7 , I'm sorry , there is no comparison...
The rear speaker instead is good, better than other phones even if the phone is resting on a table.
I hope new roms could solve this issue and also the touch one.

That's a really subjective question. The Mi5 (after you change the mixer_paths_tasha.xml file to the China one) has very good, clean and loud output.
What headphones you should get depends only on your music taste. I have since done some research in order to get a better perspective, and have found these to be the best:
- MEMT X5 (you might want to get other tips, as it only includes double flanged tips)
- Tin Audio T515
- Rock Zicron
- CoIYue E1
They are listed in the order I'd recommend them, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Edit: If your budget is higher I can highly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum II in-ears - They have a great soundstage, clean output and a good emphasis on bass and treble without muddying the mids.
Edit: Updated suggested earphone list with better alternatives

What headphones you should get depends only on your music taste. I find the Xiaomi line is fantastic value for money - much like their phones - so here is a breakdown of how you should consider it (based on personal experience):
-Xiaomi Piston 2: Thumping bass, crisp treble but a bit muted/muddied mids (vocals). They are also very loud and even "quiet" phones can power them easily. Continued wearing is a bit uncomfortable, and they pop out when the cable snags or get tugged. Average noise isolation. Overall very fun to listen to and one of my favourites. Good for bassy genres with symbols and fewer vocals, such as rave, dubstep, house, and R&B.
-Xiaomi Piston 3: Clean, flat output. Great for budget audiophiles, but not very "fun" for average users because they lack the kick you get from others. Very comfortable. Average noise isolation. I find them boring. Good for clean genres with little bass such as classical music.
-Xiaomi Hybrid Pro: Has an emphasis on bass and treble without muting/mudding mids too much and overall good balanced headphones. Very comfortable and doesn't pop out if the cable snags (good for jogging). Average noise isolation. I think these are a great balance of the above two, but the cable and volume buttons are lower quality and it doesn't have a nice case like the others. These are good for gaming and most music and was my go-to pair (since been stolen).
-Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD: I don't own these personally, yet - mine should be here by the end of the month. But paraphrasing reviewers who have also owned the above and many more: Slight emphasis on bass and treble - much like the Hybrid Pros - but with a much wider soundstage and better instrument isolation, and overall very detailed sound. It basically fixes everything that was wrong with the Hybrid Pros (better cable, controls, includes case and pouch, more detailed sound) but has slightly less bass (pro/con depending who you ask). I personally I will miss the bass (I loved it on the Piston 2, but the mids weren't great and sometimes the treble was a bit shrill). Very comfortable with average noise isolation. Good, balanced headphones for most music and especially gaming.
My personal recommendation would be the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HDs, but if you love thumping bass go for the Piston 2 and if you hate "coloured" sound go for the Piston 3. The Hybrid Pro HD also has 3 drivers/speakers - (2 Balanced Armature + 1 Dynamic Driver) and the dynamic driver uses graphene - a supermaterial 600x stronger than steel, that's one atom thick, and very rarely seen in consumer products. Pretty awesome stuff just knowing that, even if it doesn't necessarily sound better.
I also highly recommend disabling the crap audio profiles Xiaomi installs and using Viper4Android/Viper4Windows to tweak the sound to your liking, and I if you like I can upload the sound profile I used with the Hybrid Pros.
Edit: If your budget is higher I can highly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum II in-ears - They have a great soundstage, clean output and a good emphasis on bass and treble without muddying the mids. It's better than any of Xiaomi's and I love how their output is shaped (it needs 0 tweaking and output is just perfect for my preference).

Let me know what you think of them - I went to a studio and tried everything, from DACs to headphones to DSD files and Electrostats. I have a soft spot for the Sennheisers because despite everything they came close to some of the best over ear headphones (there was a difference but not one worth $6000) but were much more fun to listen to.
If you need help setting up your Mi5 audio files after you get tour headphones let me know :highfive:

If you're implying the file I mentioned earlier, it's not the build prop. The Chinese one (or Xiaomi.eu, since they share a common base) contain the same file settings and can replace the one you use in Lineage/Global ROMs.
You have to be Rooted to modify system files, so do that first. Then copy and replace the file found in root/system/etc with the one I'm attaching and reboot. The output from the headphone jack should be much higher, if it isn't your ROM dev already included the fix.
I used RHA 500 with dynamic microdriver....extreame pleasure for listening lossless audio
KZ ZS5, Senfer 6in1, crazy cello, senzer h1
there's lot detailed reviews online
personally i use them too, the price is about same with xiaomi counterparts but the sound experience is different (better)
you might want to try dwelling into chi-fi world xD
Anyone here using Type-C headphones/earphones?
I'm using JBL E25 BT and in spite of being bluetotth it sounds pretty good. Also the wire is not attached to the phone anymore. My life is a bit easier now :3 I only have to charge it once per 1 or 2 days, but it's not a problem for me.

I doubt it, there a very few on the market (Xiaomi makes a pair though) so they're not really competitive and you can get much better headphones for a lot cheaper at this point. Also, since USB type C doesn't have any real advantage over the 3.5mm jack with normal earphones (not including high impedance earphones or a pair with ANC) and the Mi 5 has an audio jack, I don't think there is any real interest in getting a pair.
I can totally recommend Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD(the one with triple driver). I can safely say it did replaced my headphones(AT M50x & superlux hd681evo, and a JBL bluetooth) during my 4 months travel time. But mind you it's sharp sounding and bright as it has v-shaped sound but smooth and not sluggish.
While the price might seems a little bit on the cheap side, fortunately the durability is alright. I'm skeptical with Xiaomi's decision to go with rubber cable rather than previous Piston 3 keylar lined cable but it did survive many accidental pulls on my side.
If you decided to pick one up, buy 3rd party eartip as stock eartip doesn't have good isolation.
But be careful for fake Hybrid Pros.

I would highly recommend anything from RHA their products are extremely well crafted, incredible sound fidelity, durable and great customer service. The sound insulation compares and at times outshines over the ear headphones.

The same. I own a couple of headphones, including Xiaomi Piston 3 and can tell you that the right choice is KZ brand. I own KZ ZS5 that are many times better that Piston 3 and probably the same compared to other Xiaomi Headphones. I had the luck to buy them in promotion for 24$ (now about 30). You have option to buy even better ZS6 (40-50$) or cheaper ZST. Man, this ZS5 are even (much) better than my HiFiMan RE-400, that were entry level audiophile headphones that I buy for 100$ + 10$ shipping (now are discounted to 50$, but not worth compared to ZS5).
Piston 3 headphones are not bad at all. They sound relatively flat (which means real, not emphasized sound) without big drawbacks. But ZS5 are audibly better in each extent - more clear powerful sound, better dynamics, bass, midds, highs, open staged ... Just have to see if you like their design, because are bigger (but fit fine once you insert them). So buy cheap Xiaomi headphones only if the budget is restricted. And even in this case I would prefer Superlux 381b which should be something like 18$ (I bought them for about 14+ euros).
Just my 2 cents...
I have KZ ZS5, both with silver cable and bluetooth, Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD, Sony WF1000X and a few cheaper more (i.e. Piston 3). For me, the best sound comes from Hybrid HD without any doubt. ZS5 are very good too, but they are not very comfortable (at least for my ears). Sony have a very good sound, very close to the Hybrid HD, and active noise cancellation is really wonderful.
As usual, any ears are different and we all have our preferences, but if I had to buy new earphones and BT was not in the wish list, Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD would be the first choice...
Regards.

Hi Guys:
I been using Note 3 with first Stable Rom + Unlocked + Root + Vipersound last version. With it, i use earphones Piston 2, KZ ZS10 and KZ ZSR, so, very good pair of earphones.
I considerer myself a audiophile and i enjoy ear my music in detail as possible.
Problem:
I still own my old Oppo Find 7 (Snapdragon 801) with Wolfson DAC if not mistake, and also Vipersound, version 2.3.3.
As comparation......there isn`t any! Note 3 looks like a old tape cassete from 80`s ( and i own a good one with 3 heads), in comparative with my Oppo.
Sound is metallic, not natural, uncontrolled and the stage is very bad.....
Oppo has a amazing natural sound, from deep bass to treble and higs, great stage, everything is on the correct place. Infortunaly i dn`t have a cable jack to jack to make a record of one and other sound with the same music, so i can share and you get your own judgements...
Believe-me.....at this moment is very very bad. There is a gap of 4 years between one and other, but even so, im very disappointed to the point to think to sell this terminal.
At this moment, i have to use 2 phones: one for music, and the other to all the rest.
I am i missing anything here?

Try to flash Dolby Atmos, I am using it with Viper FX via Magisk. I think it sounds good this way.
Hi.
I already tryed Dolby Atmos, but Vipersound options and sound, are much better than Dolby. But i can try, what i have to loose?
Ok.
Installed Dolby, but the "base" sound is the same....lack of stage and transparency..... ((

hi. I noticed that if i touch my ears with the speaker of mi note 3 i can hear some kinda noise. it is very low, but i can hear only if it's to close.
Have you tried last miui? They said ldac support was been added even in bluetooth headset. Let us know.
the dac chip of mn3 is good but not that great.
But as an audiophile. I appreciate what this device brings me.
Maybe because im using first version of Global Stable?
Still sounds horrible....i have to update to Xiaomi.eu....and retry again.
Hello Community!
I would like to ask if any of you was able to try usb-c headphones with OnePlus 7 Pro? I want to know about sound quality is it better/worst than 3.5 jack or bluetooth? What headphones did you test and what are your experiences?
I use Sony MDR 1000x bluetooth over ear headphones as my daily drivers but want to have some backup headphones specially when it is to hot outside to use over ear ones.
I was thinking about Xiaomi Mi ANC & Type-C since it has some good reviews.
Thanks for any answer.
BR!

I bought a pair of KZ ES4 used them with the 3.5m adapter from 6T didn't sound that good at all I ordered the Type C addon cable and it improved the loudness and sound quality was much better.
So far I'm impressed with the sound quality over Type C for such a low cost and with Dolby Digital Plus and V4A can tweak it too my liking.

I use the type c from Oneplus and think they're great. Fit well and great sound. The cable feels a tad cheap, but that's the only negative
