Hi, I'm really interested in the 3a because it offers all the things I expect from the pixel lineup.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the DAC. I hope they didn't cut corners there just to say "look we brought the headphone jack back".
How would you rate the sound output?
Thanks!

Hello all i will publish a petition to keep the jack on the futur Galaxy S8, i will publish the petition in 1 hour, i just have to know if someone have already hear a petition like this thanks !
And sorry for my English, nobody are perfect haha
Let's try to change the world guy's haha !

my friend too late for this if even they decided to remove it!!!
now most likely the phone will be out if 3-4 months max,design is already prepared and in manufacturing and resting phase.... they will not change and start a whole new design. development, testing for just a petition.... this IS Samsung after all

I have a Bose QC35, that exist a Jack 2,5mm to USB-C ?
There is always a convertor jack to use with old phones, we should welcome the new technology instead sticking with the old. It will take time to adapt though

Hopefully the adaptor will come with the phone and not be some $50 accessory lol.
Hopefully they give a decent wireless headset with the phone.

Sucks to ditch it but Type C is the way forward for better audio

You have bluetooth with your QC35, so no problem The sound remains awesome with Bose bluetooth... It's perfect on my QC30 anyway
And I don't really care if they remove the jack on the S8, i'm tired of Touchwiz (or Samsung Experience or whatever)
For those who don't know, no 3.5 jack means Sam doesn't need to put a decent DAC (or sound card as a more familiar term) into the phone. What remained is only a poor DAC that is enough to drive internal speaker. There is nothing called forward movement. It's purely cost cutting. If phone makers need to push forward wireless tech for headphones, first they have to make the transmission better with higher bit rates and no more stuttering. This way, users decide themselves if moving forward worth it or not.
Also, if headphones manufacturers decided to make type c headphone instead of 3.5, it means that each headphones must come with their own DAC instead of having just one on the phone itself. This way you cannot,ever than before, expect cheap but good headphones due to DAC cost.
Since Apple decision to ditch out headphone jack. I think it's the stupidest idea ever. The bottom line of producing sound into your ears is always in analog. No one cannot make hearable sound in digital format. I don't get it why do so many people agree with such an illusional digital shift paradigm.

You're right, but I'm not a fan of bluetooth, I always use jack because in bluetooth you have:
1. Less autonomy
2. It f * ck you brain well.
3. You can steal your helmet much easier.
It makes me laugh when I think of the guy with an iPhone 7 (DAS 1.38kg / W) with its headphones bluetooth. He nicely bites his brain ?

And if the space for headphone jack can be used for a second speaker?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I read a lot of review about this headset and it is number one candidate to buy. The only thing I did not find how they work with U11 and overall wireless experience. In shops they have demo unit which does not work with U11(just does not connect). Did anyone try real ones? What is the wireless sound quality compared to wired?
I am using MDR-ZX550BN successfully with the U11 if that helps at all.
Sent from my HTC 2PZC100 using Tapatalk
I tried them and they work fine with the U11. Sound quality is OK but you don't really pick an ANC headphone if sound quality is of number one importance. General consensus on Head Fi and Reddit is that if you want premium audio and don't care for ANC then grab the P7 Wireless if you like bass or go with the DSR9BT if you prefer a flatter EQ.
The 1000x don't go as loud as some like but they are comfy, the ANC is amazing and the touch controls are pretty slick. Still I ended up sending them back since the volume output was worse than the U11 adaptor and there was a lack of punch and soundstage. They cost the same as the P7 Wireless too so it was a no-brainer really. Another issue was call volume wasn't too good. Battery life is very good

Does that mean that wireless experience is worse than wired via adaptor? What is P7?

P7 Wireless are headphones. Do a google search.
The 1000x doesn't sound like a £300 headphone is all. The main focus is ANC and sound quality second.
I googled Bowers & Wilkins P7, will check them. And thanks for the advise.
I found the Bullets Wireless to be quite expensive for me.. and I'm thinking of EP52... Has anyone tried it with The oneplus 6? What's the sound quality like ?
$20 difference.

The phone has a headphone jack. Instead of spending money on wireless tech, get better quality sound.

I already have quality wired headphones... But I want another pair of wireless earpods cuz they're much more convenient and easier to handle at the gym

I think I understand. You want quality sound plus wireless tech. $40 Meizus aren't probably gonna cut it. If you want wireless, this is probably as cheap as you can get. If you want quality, $150 wired is probably as cheap as you can get. Combine the two features, and you are looking for at least $200 or more.
I just treated myself to a set of hi-res Bluetooth earphones. £70 which is not cheap but they sound amazing & equal to more expensive wired solutions.

What earphones ?
Prostereo H2 earphones. Hi-res Bluetooth audio codecs are enabled in android 8.1 and these earphones will use the aptxHD and LDAC codecs which promise "better than cd" sound quality.
Ive tried them with some downloaded hi-res music files and they certainly sound great and as good as more expensive wired earphones but with the wireless convenience.
Hello, does anyone know how the quality that comes from the phone outputted via USB-C to either speakers or headphones compares to that of an iPhone? Mine's on the way and am worried the audio quality is going to be what makes me end up returning the phone.

I'm only using AirPods (1). Have an 7 Pro and an XS Max. Would say that the OnePlus have slightly better bluetooth quality.
Have not tested USB-C vs lightning yet!

This doesn't really answer your question but Ive heard some people having issues with audio coming from USB-C with cheaper dongles on the OP7P. I'm not sure what sort of dongle you'll be using but I recommend looking into some reviews before you make your final judgement.
I'm currently looking to buy a decent pair of headphones that I want to mostly use with my phone. I've looked around online and couldn't find much about which DAC is being used and what is the ideal output power/impedance of the headphones that I should use with these.
I am thinking of getting the Audio Technica M20x but they have an impedance of 47 ohms, and I'm not sure if the device is ideal or capable enough to power it properly. I've read on another thread that a guy used a pair of headphones with 62 ohms impedance with this phone and he had to crank it up to almost 100% volume to hear music. So I'm not sure if the 47 ohms is too high for the phone. But the old wired apple earphones were 40 ohms and they probably worked fine so maybe the M20x would work somewhat nicely too I guess?
If anyone has used a good quality pair of headphones with this device here, help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone?

It has 24bit/192Khz Hi-Res as every other phone nowadays have. It doesn't have a separate DAC like an LG, is the one integrated on Snapdragon.
The best you can do to enjoy that headphones is to get a Tempotec Sonata HD2 dongle and never get over 95% volume to avoid distortion. There are dozens of good dongles but that one is cheap and you can use it for years.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do plan on getting a seperate DAC in the future but currently I'm on a tight budget so I wanted to know how it will sound straight from the phone and what impedance headphones the phone's internal DAC can handle.

It can handle the Audio Technica pretty well. That headphones are pretty sensitive and the impedance is not high also. You will need to volume up a bit but the AT will muzzle exterior sound too, so it's a win-win

I just connected a AKG K240 to my device and sounds excepcional at middle volume. They are 55 ohms.

I'm sorry but could you explain what you meant by this?
Also if you don't mind what audiophile headphones would you suggest under the $100 range? I'm thinking about getting the M20x or M30X or would it be better to get maybe the Sennheiser HD 200 Pro for normal listening and not for studio mixing?
Thanks
i do find the sound to be a bit under volume as compared with a separate DAC... the sound produced out of the jack feels sub-parred compared to my realme 5i

I mean you may find the volume a bit low compared to a standard earphones, but the binaural pads silence a lot of outer noise si it's ok.
M20x all the way, best quality for the price.

im using blon bl 03. they are sounding awesome without DAC. 50% volume is enough.
Nice to have stumbled across this thread.
I haven't received my x3 pro yet. But will in one or two days. I had been looking around for a decent phone with a headphone jack and there were not a lot of options at all.
The reason being, I had an Earmen Eagle dac amp which is considered 'high end' in the world of dongle dacs. I A-B tested them vs the output from my current phone (realme 7) and to me, there really wasn't much of a difference in terms of quality. The output power is higher on the eagle ofcourse but nothing that notable in terms of quality difference, certainly not enough to make me want to deal with the inconvenience of a dongle.
I had done some prior digging and I believe the dac is the same as that on the ROG 2, which is understandable as the sd 860 is basically the same as 855+. I know this might not be useful info but I just wanted to share my findings anyway.
Jack is so trash, really it's 1/10. My Max 3 sounds 100x better. Without audio mods don't even come.
