Hello,
I currently have an original Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I watch a lot of movies on it. I purchased a Galaxy Tab 2 because of the front facing speakers and I thought the volume would be louder. When I compared the two, I noticed that the Tab 2's volume was not as loud and it sounded tinny. Can anyone advise if the speakers on the Note 10.1 are better/louder? Does anyone have a Note 10.1 and a Tab 2 they can compare?
Thanks for any answers in advance,
I've got them both.In my opinion the note sounds alot better!

So in your opinion the Note is louder and doesnt sound as tinny?
If so, then I'm going to pick up one of those bad boys....
the note is better since the sound is coming straight at you instead of to the sides. I actually use the external speakers more often now than with the gtab 10.1.
Ditto. I never use the speakers on my other devices. I use bt speakers or headphones.
I was actually asking if they sound better than the Galaxy Tab "2", not the original tab. I have the original tab, bought the tab 2 and returned it because the speaker were crap..LOL. Do you have a "TAB 2 10.1" and a "NOTE 10.1"? If so, is the NOTE louder? I hope so... :fingers-crossed:
oops, my paying attention skills were lacking yesterday.

No worries. Although someone has to have the two tablets. Anyone? Hello??
Samsung.com says the note 10.1 has soundalive which sounds great on my notebook, but samsung.co.uk says it has 3d sound, no mention of soundalive , I have the Tab 2 10.1 , no soundalive or 3d sound mentioned for that one, though i am quite happy with the sound, it could be a bit louder though, I have an Note 10.1 on order so i will be able to compare them.

Thanks John, looking forward to hearing about your results.
I currently have a gal tab 10.1. Speakers sound pretty good for facing our the sides, but I think this Note 10.1 sounds better. I do use the speakers so that was important to me. Enough so that I didn't buy the Asus Transformer Infinity because the speaker on it is basically worthless .
I'm still waiting on someone who has both tablets and can say that the NOTE 10.1 is noticibly louder than the TAB 2.
It needs to be compared to a TAB 2 , not the original TAB 10.1.
People keep posting how the note seems louder than their orginal 10.1...
BTW, I'm not complaining, just anxiously waiting before I give Best Buy $535.
Thanks,
Rich

I used to have a tab 2 but took it back due to sub par performance. To me, the note 10.1 speakers seem better and are definitely bigger, but I can't say definitively since I haven't had them side by side. My advise would be to try out the note and take advantage of the 30 day best buy return policy if it's not to your standards sound-wise.

I was hoping to avoid needlessly returning ANOTHER perfectly good tablet and sending it to the refurbished bin... :laugh:

I don't have Tab2 10.1", but I did try it on the samsung shop display.
Comparing to the Note 10.1" which I have right now... I can tell you Note 10.1" is louder, and better than the tab2 10.1".
And yes, it has a 3D surround sound, which makes even a lot better when you watch movies on your Note 10.1".
In fact, some of the default ringtones of Note 10.1" also sample(s) of the 3D sound.
I have both the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Note 10.1. I tested the tablets side-by-side by playing the same song from identical MP3 file, using the stock music player with maximum volume for both. I even measured the volume using the Sound Meter app on my Galaxy S2. I can say that the Note is slightly louder (only by 2-3 dB), but the Tab 2 has crisper sound.

Thanks for your input, your post is exactly what I needed to make a decision! :good:
Does anyone have a note 10.1 and a Samsung tv soundbar with bluetooth/wireless. Im thinking about buying a soundbar but was wondering if you could stream from the note to the soundbar, also what is the sound quality like?
i was thinking of buying the HW-E551 46". it has bluetooth where the some dont, and a review on the samsung site says streaming via bluetooth works for phones/tablets unsure of the sound quality though!
ok thats cool then, cheers. I have the Samsung d8000 46" and the note works well with, but now my only draw back is the sound quality from both devices. So I thought are these bluetooth sound bars up to scratch
That's a great question! I have a Bluetooth samsung soundbar at home, but I won't be home for a week and a half to check it out. The HDMI sound is excellent given the soundbar's size. But I have not tried it with Bluetooth yet. I don't know the model number off hand, it would be great if it had apt-x, but I doubt it does.
Hiya, it's coming up to my upgrade in a few weeks and I just got myself a pair of beats solo hd headphones, I was wondering if the music sounded as good through the headphones on the galaxy note 2 as compared to the iPhone 4S?
Also does the control talk mic work with the note 2?
I had one more question, is it just me or is there a shuffle option on android phone music players?? I've had galaxy s2 and note 1 but I could never shuffle my music!!!
Yeah so just wondering of people's experiences with the galaxy note 2 and beats by dre headphones
Many thanks
I am looking to buy a new headphone for my GT P7300. Im confused whether I should buy the newer Samsung S4 headphones or should i stick with the same S1 headset ? The S4, S3 and s2 got volume controls while the S1 does not. But i don't have any idea which is the best in terms of sound quality.
I brought the original samsung s4 headphones. Comparing with the S1 headphones that comes default with GT 8.9:
- Sound is a lil bit better and deeper.
- Volume control, the flat cord and adjustable wire splitter (or pinner or whatever its called), is a plus.
Design wise, i like the S1 better. Its has a more raw look while the S4 has a round ballish outward look that is bit protruding out of the ears.
Samsung s4 headphone are great , i used them for my p7300 1 year ago , get no problem
The only problem is that they are white
I have a Note 2 and I really like the back speaker. When playing music it is plenty loud and does not distort. Has anyone from from a Note 2 gone to a S6? I would like to know how the S6 speaker compares to the Note 2.

I have them both, s6 sounds better. They both have mods that can be done to them but over all I give it to the s6
