On a couple of reviews, I've seen stated that only one of the speaker grills is actually a working speaker, and the other is just cosmetic. But in other reviews, they don't mention that at all when talking about the speakers.
So my question is; are there actually speakers in both grills or not?
No there is only one speaker behind the grills.
You can see more of intern compound of mate 8 in this teardown link -> http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/12/huawei-mate-8-teardown-surfaces-lets-peek-inside.html
the speaker has great sound with great bass
one of the best in bass like boomsound
but i hoped it was stereo speakers
yeah its been a general trend of phone makers to pretend like there are two speakers the other grill is actually for the mic covering calls
In the manual doc, it says that the other grill is for a noice reduction.
in that case, where exactly would the microphone for actual calls be located?
Thanks for answering my question. Peace all. :good:

The other side is occupied by the PCB that contains the microphone (the small red part) used for voice calls, and the charging/USB port, and also connects the speaker via a short ribbon cable. The round component with the 3 small holes is the vibration motor.
As you can see the phone is quite tightly packed leaving too little room for an additional speaker, for Huawei to have added a second speaker there they'd either have needed to make the phone bigger or sacrifice some of the battery capacity to make space. For information sake, the noise cancellation mic is on top of the phone (tiny pin-hole)

i love my mate 8 its really a good device but i have only one issue with it, its the low speaker volume i noticed this since the first day i got it (speaking from an ex. samsung note 5 user) i can surely say that the note 5 speaker is much louder and its so strange how big the difference is so i was thinking that maybe i have a defective mate 8?

Unless the model of headphones with mic/button state they will work with Nokia pin layouts (SGS uses this pin layout), then it will not work, you'll need to find an adaptor, there are threads discussing, you should try a search.
Sorry to butt in here guys but please tell me the SGS works with normal headphones for music?
Yes it does, its just phone calls that mess up.
If your headphones have the different pin layout, music will work, but if a call comes in...you wont be able to hear or say anything through the headphone/mic. You'd have to unplug the headphones (if headphones are plugged in, even the microphone on the phone is disabled) and use the phone to take the call
Are there any adapters that dont mess up the sound quality? I tried a Nokia mic adaptor with my Shure SE210's connected to them and it sounded horrible
Umm. Idk if the Klipsch S4i works on this SGS. Although I have the Klipsch S4 (and a SGS) and if you like bass heavy music and dance. These are perfect! If you want more info I'd suggest you to take a look at the head-fi forums
I second that. Klipsch s4 + sgs and it heaven.

I just buy Creative HS-730i, only for nokia adapter and it work. Now I can use any iphone headphones ( with mic ) with my SGS Pretty well workaround, even radio is working with this adaper without headphones.
There is huge gap on the market with this adapter.
Buy a Denon AH-C710 no microphone & controls, just great music!

I just got these, they are one of the top IEM earphones you can find. They do indeed sound great! http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf5.html
I have the s4i and they don't work. Bought the s4i for the iphone I had previously and they were amazing. But they dont work on the galaxy s. Not even music
As a rule of thumb:
All iPhone compatible earphones do not work.
Standard stereo earphones do work, but you get no mic.
Nokia compatible earphones with mic will work.
If you're on the budget, try these: http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=62_46&products_id=294
The best sound for the price. Period.
This is what I got:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006E69AS2/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pairs effortlessly, quality not bad. The problem is that the left speaker, the sound quality is awesome, great bass. However on the right one there's some annoying static. So I decided to open it up and this is what I found. The speaker itself is right next to the circuit board fthat contains the Bluetooth module, antena, the volume rockers and the command buttons. Once I take it apart (away) from the board the static disappeares.
Do you guys have any idea on how to isolate or insulate the speaker from the board to avoid the statistics, it's annoying because the right side is crystal clear. I don't think simply putting electric tape will do. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I really like them especially for the price...

Yeah, but the volume doesn't go up nearly loud enough on any BT headset, and they are not meant for hi fidelity audio such as music, movies, etc. But I do also use my Mono BT headset to listen to music, it is very convenient to only have 1 ear, no cords, nothing going ear to ear.

Hey XDA
Just throwing out a review for those of you interested in some quality Bluetooth headphones.
I have had these guys for a week and I've tried them on all sorts of music since I am part of a multi media team for a church. We edit and sample all genres of music so I decided to try these out for our work.
Build quality
They seem to be made with very good materials. I've had several other over the ear headphones that feel very flimsy and cheap; this is not the case with these. The adjustable parts on the headphones are very firm and not loose at all maybe even a bit too firm which I appreciate. The carbon fiber part is a cushion and not plastic which was surprising but not bad by any means.
Fit
The fit on these are excellent. They are snug and feel great. After a while you forget you're wearing them which is a plus since I would wear them for hours at a time. The cushions are very soft and there's just something about them that feels awesome.
Functionality
The Bluetooth part works excellent. Pairing took five seconds. They have never dropped Bluetooth connection on my S4, S3, my MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, and a few other phones we tested. Pausing the music and answering calls also worked perfect. Battery lasts quite a while and I love that I can use the aux cable for those devices with no Bluetooth.
Sound
Music on these headphones sounds amazing. I am not a fan of many headphones out there with over killed bass but I do like a decent thump - these babies delivered perfectly! Highs were very clear and crisp, mids were present but didn't give them a muddy sound. Call quality was great as well. The person OK the other end heard me perfectly. Volume on the headphones for call was good. I could hear clearly almost as good as the earpiece on my phone.
Overall I really likes these headphones. They have been great for me with everything I do. I like the case they come in and the face that they are quite portable with their rotatable earpiece. I loved that they charge with USB so that makes it easy wherever I'm at.

Thanks for this! I am looking at getting these. Your review helped boatloads!
Hello, I use the Note PRO 12.2 as a phone. Of course, I get strange looks from people often but I don't want to carry a laptop, the Note PRO and a phone all the time. How many of you use it as a phone? How do you carry it when you talk? I like to put it on my shoulder and use one hand to keep it there. So, the LCD is oriented that it is in parallel to my ear. No problem with it except that one time I talked to somebody for over an hour. Afterwords, I felt pain in my arm.
Why on earth would you need to hold it to your ear?
Perhaps try a Bluetooth device?
Or perhaps some headphones that have a mic unit on the cord?
Then you can just turn off the screen and tuck it under your arm or in a satchel/backpack or something...
I use it as a phone when my Note 3 runs out of battery.
Carry it.. no. They invented these things for it a couple of years ago....

I tried some of those bluetooth devices but did not feel comfortable wearing them.
ShadowLea: Is there a mic on the Y23? It seems that it is just a normal ear phone. How do I talk if I put the Note PRO in a bag?
I usually grab it when my phone is out of reach or out of battery. if I'm in my house I just use it as a speakerphone but its all outdoors I usually have a headset. You can buy them on Amazon for five bucks. I use the ones they came withthe flat wire not the rounded ones I don't know which ones they are exactly but they are the more recent version. I bought 5 of them and have them all around the house and in the car. the combination of Google Voice and hang outs is amazing

It has a mic. The U stands for Universal (Meaning every OS), there's also a Y23i for the iPhone, and a regular Y23 without a mic.
I've always got my bag very high up (never on my hip, it flops about too much then) or I use a backpack, so the cable length is long enough.
Alternatively I use a Bluetooth earpiece for when I'm on the go, because cables don't work well when you're moving. I've got a dust-proof, water-proof, shock resistant Bluetooth earpiece through an army friend of mine.
At home it's usually connected to my JBL Charge 2 (bluetooth speaker) which has a conference function that allows me to use it as a speaker and mic.
I request a picture of someone holding it to their head like a phone.
It's for scientific purposes. I swear.
Thanks.
Sony SBH52
When not connected to car bluetooth, I use Sony's Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52 for calls.

Must be a joke! ?
Oreo is here and still static audio is not resolved, i am thinking its better to look for new earphones than rattling around forums, guys help to provide the info which earphones are working for you.
I'm considering to buy Soundmagic E10C or RHA - MA390 Universal. I'm currently using CX 275s. I did not have any hiss sound on Android N but now I have hissing sound on Oreo. I can only hear hissing on words starting with Z and S. Weird. Otherwise I have to try hard to hunt for hissing sound, maybe because I'm hearing impaired.
Xiaomi recommends you get one of their earphones. They even have specific profiles for them in the sound settings.

i won't suggest rha ma390 because of 16ohm impedance, theoratically soundmagic e10c with 46ohms impedance has better chances to work well with mi a1.
there are reports of hissing with their headphones too, if you have a xiaomi earphone working without hiss, please mention the specific model.
I haven't noticed any hissing sound with the Xiaomi Piston Basic earphone.
@cr0ssx21, please mention this in an separate answer so others can upvote and there would be less clutter.
Please mention the specific xiaomi earphones you tested that doen't have hissing, as there are reports of some xiaomi earphones also having this issue.
Hmmm I'm using Mi Piston Fresh and Mi Pro Hybrid, both 32ohms.. i barely hear any hissing on them, it's just like a bit of stereo noise. On my KZ ZS3, the hissing is more audible; it's 16ohms
mi basic headphone works fine no hissing sound atall
Sennheiser HD215 (32ohm) is completely hiss-free.
Audio Tehnica M50x (38Ohm) - no problem. Great audio experience with this phone.
Bluetooth...
Sennheiser MX170 cheaper ones (8€ ) and perfect.
Sennheiser ie8 no hiss, mi pro in ear no hiss
Did anyone try out oneplus bullet earphones..?
No issues with my Sony MDR-1RNC. But I don't think they sell those anymore
