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 .

Strange.. Didn`t try CM, but with stock miui headphones sound just great! (5.10.22 weekly, Westone 4r)

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.
I can play the maximum volume on youtube without any problems.
but through the Spotify and huawei music player the sound is not good at top volume.
It sounds like the speaker is has explode or something.
for when I run with lower volume its sounds very good.
Should the sound be bad at the highest volume?
If the speaker was broken it would sound terrible on the lower volume too right?
Hope for good answer. And sorry for my bad english. Hope you could understand me // Tobias Sweden
Well there is a safety level for a reason...of course some distortion is bound to happen at higher volumes though i never had to use max volume for a song. I would suggest to use a good quality earpiece to match your needs
it isnt broken all speakers distort the sound as the volume increases
The speaker on honor 8 is awful, just use headphones if available, if not try to low the volume as much as possible
For the price you aren't going to get the best speakers on a mid range device. Even high end flagship devices with the exception of Nexus 6P and other device with front facing stereo speakers, don't have the best audio quality when it comes to the speakers on the device.

That's makes me wonder, why huawei/honor don't put front facing speakers on their flagships?! I wish we had speakers on honor 8 just like the 6p

Probably due to their own design preferences. When Huawei partnered up with Google to design the Nexus 6P, Google probably stated that they wanted stereo front facing speakers on it during the Nexus 6P's design process.

Hey guys, this is a question for the existing owners of the Honor View 10. I like to listen to my music loud via headphones, currently I own a HTC 10 and I am planning to upgrade to the Hoonor View 10. Typically Honor phones have a track record of providing below average loudness through the 3.5mm jack, as indicated by many gsmarena reviews. However, in case of the View 10 gsmarena notes that loudness remains nicely high when plugging in a pair of headphones. Can you guys please confirm this statement? It would really help me make up my mind. Thanks

They are not overly loud.. But they are loud enough to not hear ppl
Depending on headphones it's a bit on the bassy side.
1 to 10. About a 8.5...

I am quite impressed about the sound from this phone (via headphones). The volume may not be hyper-loud but the sound is really full-bodied, the stereo image is very good. Much better than my S6 Edge, my previous mobile.

I'm not saying loudness should be on par with my HTC 10 but at least somewhere near it. Thanks for your input

Sorry can't really compare as my last HTC phone was the mythical HD2...
I made the same switch, from HTC 10 to Honor View 10. I am very impressed by the audio quality through my headphones (AKG N60NC). In terms of loudness, I think it reaches ~80% of that of the HTC 10. The highs are a not as good as on the HTC 10, but I do have the feeling that there's less noise on the View 10.
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.
I'm thinking of buying the xiaomi mi 10 pro, but I wanted to know how is his sound, volume, quality ... and in terms of using headphones?
I saw some criticisms saying that his volume was average, and with headphones he was not tending to a good volume.
so... what they tell me...

I don't think you can find a phone with better sounding speakers than mi 10 pro. I can suggest checking out the speaker comparison of gsmarena in Mi 10 pro review. They are not the loudest but have the best quality (imho). you can add other devices to compare them
I disabled "Disable absolute volume" option in developer settings which was oddly enabled by default. if that option is enabled you have to turn up the volume separately from your headphones and the phone. it is probably why some people say their headphones are not loud enough.
