Compared to my Note 5 the built in speaker on Note FE is louder and clearer than Note 5, but I would say it is about the same volume with Note 4, when the phone is upside down with speaker pointing up. But Note FE is much crisper and cleaner sound. I am very happy with speaker.
The in call volume is about the same as Note 5, I was hoping it will be little bit louder. Notification sounds, when you press anything on screen with the Samsung default clicky sound are way way quieter than Note 5. Bluetooth volume is louder than Note 5, very happy about it.
Headphone volume same as Note 5. Overall, sound is a improvement over my Note 5.
The speaker does seem a little better than the Note 5, But after coming from a iPhone 7 plus I am tempted to try and flash the Dual speaker mod from the note 7 (and galaxy s6) so that it uses the earpiece for sound as well.

There's been a lot of discussion of the speaker quality on the Nexus 5, but not so much about the earpiece.
I wondering in calls how the quality and volume of the earpiece on the Nexus 5 compares to the Nexus 4, for those who've had both phones. In loud settings the Nexus 4 has always been a little quiet for me. I know the N5 is not going to be like the HTC One (in this and all areas of audio quality), but I don't want to take a step backwards from the N4, which is already fine, but not stellar.
Thanks.
its a bit better than the n4. not a huge difference, but better regardless.

So the earpiece volume is a little louder than the N4? Or just the sound quality is better in the earpiece? Or both? Thanks.

It's normal.. For me sound is quite low on outdoors..
For me its way too low outdoors, i can barely hear it ringing.
surprisingly better than most others
i hear it ringing even outdoors, and the quality of conversations is quite good and loud.
the problem is with the microphone while making a video. VERY VERY weak and low quality. WHY LIKE THIS?
Phone speakers are really louder as of One+1. That little bast*rd is louder than my laptop speakers!
In front of OPO, OPT speakers are very very worse: while on Waze, I can hear difficultly traffic hints. Also ringer is too low.
Yes I totally agree. Speaker is not the strong point on this phone. I can hardly hear anytime I am outdoors. With or without MAX audio setup. I hope with future ROMS they can tweak the speakers a bit.
very low for me...
It's way too low for me when I'm outside. Can't even hear the other person. Wasn't this way with OPO.
Speakerphone seems to be OK though.
speaker...
i find the speaker to not be very clear when i use speaker phone. expected better with a nearly $400 phone.
The speaker phone is the worst part of this phone IMO
Not good to be anywhere near other flagship's
it seems speaker would blow-off on full volume. and if lowered, u need to concentrate on the talks
Do you guys use the audio tuner thing by oneplus, that seems to make the volume louder for me.

Coming from the Moto X PE the one speaker at the bottom sounds so sad. I also am having to train myself not to cover it up on accident. For me it is way to quiet or too loud.
Coming from a Galaxy S6, the speaker on the Pixel is significantly louder and clear. I have not been jaded by an HTC set of speakers so I might be in the minority that thinks the Pixel speaker is great.
Coming from N6, I was worried that the XL's speaker will not be as loud. I can confirm that it is as loud, if not slightly louder, but the dual speakers on the N6 has more depth. Overall, I am not as worried as before.
The quality is good, could be louder.
The sound on my end is great, the people on the other end say it's muffled at times. Since I use speaker all day for conference calls I will have to return the Pixel XL

This makes me feel better since I am coming from a N6 and absolutely love the speakers. I'm going to miss FFS, but at least a quality sound will comfort me.
Not loud enough...and sounds bad in comparison to other phones i've had in the past (even single speaker ones)
Speaker is pretty bad as far as media/games is concerned. RIP stereo. It's good for normal notifications though.

You keep badmouthing the phone yet provide no information for comparison. What other phones have you had, even single speaker ones, that sound better?
This is very subjective anyway
My comparison is with the 6p. Single speaker comparison is the lg g3. The speaker is not terrible on the pixel, but just not as good as one would expect in such a high priced phone. Also, the placement is horrid since you accidentally keep blocking it while watching videos of playing games in landscape.
But otherwise, a fantastic phone which really define what great software and hardware can achieve
Its ok. Not nexus 6 good ofcourse. Its nice for notifications
I made a video comparison between the speakers on the Nexus 6p and the Google Pixel XL. Check it out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg12X1OWG1M
I typically run the phone through bluetooth when listening to music, however I must say that when watching videos I, like others have said, block the speaker. Coming from a Moto X Pure I don't think the speaker on the Pixel is quite as good. It's not bad per se, but I don't need the speaker to be spectacular when watching a video. Notification sounds are plenty loud for me. I haven't used the speaker phone option much, but when I have it has been fine.
I find the single speaker avg. I sometimes cover the speaker with a pinky or palm by accident and muffles just a slight flaw but not a deal breaker.
RIP my Nexus 6's front facing speakers. This is my only major gripe with this phone so far. So disappointing. Front facing speakers should be standard.
Max volume loudness seems about the same as my 6P. My 6P gets crackly at max volume, while the XL does not. Definitely less bass on the XL though.
Coming from the N6 it is not really a fair comparison because the stereo front firing was louder and clearer to me.
The Pixel XL speaker sounds OK and perfectly acceptable for notification. It would have been better if the earpiece was also used as a speaker and the location of the bottom firing speaker flipped with the mic for media.

It sounds deeper than my note 7 did. I like it better. The only issue I'm having is my notification tones seem to only be about 2/3 the volume they should be. Example is, if I go to Zedge and preview a notification tone, it sounds fine. Set it as notification sound, and it's only about 2/3 of the volume it was in the preview. I have everything I can find turned to the max. Idk.

Ditto to this. MXPE spoiled me in sound quality. Why doesn't every phone have front facing speakers? We certainly got the bezel for it...

I don't know which topic to put this in but I have some complainings about the vibrations of the device especially for notifications.
I found that the vibrations on my Honor 9 are quite weak and are unnoticable if I carry my phone in my pocket, I always use my phone in silent mode so vibrations are quite important to me.
The duration of the vibrations in the general messenger app are OK, but the duration of vibrations of facebook messenger isn't even 0,5s and at a weak intensity.
My old device (Samsung galaxy j5 2015) had much better vibrations intensity and vibrates 2x (bzz bzz..) at every notification and my Honor 9 only vibrates once which makes it unnoticable when you have you're phone in the pocket.
I downloaded an app called "good vibrations" which makes you able to costumize vibrations for every single app on your phone. It does the job quite well and it does improve the use a little bit but it's still unnoticable in my pocket.
I wish Huawei had some settings where you can costumize your vibrations by standard, or had a stonger motor inside.
Interesting is the vibration motor in the Honor 9 that weak?

I don't know but it is weak compared to all my old samsung devices. But the app "good vibrations" helps alot.

It could be due to the fact that it is placed in a bad spot.
A little better than honor 8 but just the same volume.
Loud enough for me..
Crystal and strong. is a very good!
Sound quality (Headphones output) is really good, i recommend using some players like AIMP...But thing that disappoint me is the output power! With 3D audio off, equ flat, it outputs like ~0.130v rms haha, so lame for a phone in this price range ( my old lumia 630 was giving 0.5v at 1khz,)
If you are lover of louder music, you should get some 16ohm HP with >100db/mw sensitivity or HP amp for pushing higher impedance...
The phone sounds decent on speakerphone. No complaints at all.

Hey, l have tried but sadly it’s not up to my consideration. Sorry ?.
Went into the T-Mobile Store and saw the display unit.
I played YouTube videos comparing the sound next to my iPhone X. The introduction of stereo speakers is finally here for Galaxy users!!!
But quickly, I realized the X was louder , BUT! the Galaxy sounded more RICH and tuned correctly.
The iPhone X speakers were so loud that it shakes the device like bass.
I just think is a huge improvement, and moreover, speakers sound really nice.
I never buy any phone with no dual speakers, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with these ones.
I'm coming from Axon 7, Mate 9 Pro, Pixel 2 XL and last one was U11+, and I can say these speakers are in pair with all of those phones, because this will be my first Samsung ever.
I wasn't too confident at first when I found out that it will use the ear speaker as the second audio source but indeed a very good job made by Samsung here. Loud and clear. No distortions and a nice active bass effect.

The speakers are loud enough and when Dolby Atmos is setup and a stereo video or songs is played the stereo effect is great

The sound clarity of S9 plus is good.
During a speakerphone conversations does the phone use stereo speakers too ?
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Flip your phone upside down in your pocket. The top speaker faces toward you, but the bottom speaker faces out the bottom.
If you put your phone in your pocket upside-down, it'll have a clear shot to your ear.
Factory sound quality is great and yes once its enhanced with Dolby Atmos it is very stunning. I am enjoying My T-Mobile S9+ on Metro PCS
Testing
Dolby atmos is far an beyond the normal sound it gives it the extra clarity the music or movie needs
yup, for those worried that it's not loud enough, it gets a lot louder when you turn on Dolby Atmos
