[Q] LG Optimus Black Jack 3.5mm Audio Quality - LG Optimus Black

Hi everyone
I 'm thinking to buy this smartphone but after read one review at gsmArena I got some doubts...
I was shocked at the alleged missing of low frequencies (bass) at the 3.5mm output.

LG Optimus Black P970 frequency response​
Review @ gsmArena
Anyone can tel-me, based on your experience, if this is true??
Or they made this test with some equalization that make this to append.

Any help?

I bought the phone over a month and never tested the audio jack. Hahaa.
Edit: tested few minutes ago with 2.1 speakers and yess low frequency is bad also mid range lack of details.

It isn't so bad as that and there are lot's of apps that can help improving the audio.

Yeah because I tested with original music app baypass eq. It's true that phone 3.5mm port signal quality is below others like my nokia 6500s and galaxy ace are better. But you can always use other app or use headphone amplifier.

How was your experience with the loudspeaker/speakerphone and the earpiece during that month? Do they also show lack of bass (or lack of sound quality in any way)?
It's kind of a dealbreaker for me.. (I'm fickle )
Thanks before!
(Oh, and anyone feel free to chip in )

crisp but a bit thin i think, of course you can't feel the bass with external speaker. imo if you're looking for nice music phone, optimus black is not recommended.

Well I don't want the phone tubthumping with my thigh either
Thanks gan

The quality isn't great with default player, but once you get PowerAmp it's like a different device, the quality is just so much better with lot's of bass. I don't know why it sounds so much better with Poweramp but it's like night and day. I ended up buying it because it made such a difference.

I'm into it, tho i dont have a car, but they do interest me
Please do share some.
I'm not huge into it but it is an interest of mine. Besides, I'm sure anyone here can recognize the beauty behind it all.
I use to be real big into it. DB drags and such. That was like 6-10 years ago though. My last system had 3 13" JL w7 powered by 3 JL 1000's... And yes my mother was right, my hearing has gone to ****.

one of the many pics of the build.....
and heres some of the one that i finished up last week.
Both need carpet, and the first one is getting something even more special.
there is an amprack in the top, there will be a flush mounted amp in there.
Let me know what you think.
nice boxes!!! wanna build me one???
I have a passing interest in car audio, just not a huge priority in the budget unfortunately.
This is what I have so far in my car:
dvd receiver with sirius and someday soon, bluetooth
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/In-Dash/DVD-Receivers/AVH-P3100DVD
front speakers
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/Pro60SE-P601.aspx
rear deck:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/SR95-P627.aspx
Looking at these for the bass:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I already have a box that is in the recommended dimensions for these speakers.
Also, what is a good amp (not crazy expensive) to push these, or is there a better deal on 10inch woofers.
I'm looking for clean sound more than overall thump.
Any suggestions?
your link for the subs returned a server error
and im all about building something and shipping it....lol
Boston is an excellent brand, but compared to their retail pricing, there are better, less expensive options out there.
If youre looking for some ideas, shoot me a PM, i know of a few very good, lesser known companies that I have used, and also that i still use.
try this again. the 10"subs I've been looking at:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I agree, retail they are expensive, but they can be found for half of retail if you shop around.
Meant to edit that post, i clicked a second time and it worked.
They are killer sounding subs for sure. 300/pair isnt all that bad to be honest.

Jabra Halo

Does anyone have the Jabra Halo? It looks like a decent headset. How is it with the Galaxy Tab? Do all the buttons and functions work? What about the sound quality and battery life on it? Im looking to get it soon, but im worried about the sound quality coz im used to loud, bassy, full sized headphones.
Sent from my undervolted Galaxy Tab on Overcome 1.4.7 ROM
I had one but returned it because it was very uncomfortable for me due to the lack of any hinges.
All the buttons and functions worked fine and the sound-quality was pretty good compared to other bluetooth headphones (i went through 6 or 7 different models). Battery-Life was also quite good, about what has to be expected when you have some room for the batteries. IIRC at least 4-5h.
Ok thanks. Anyway i bought a Nokia BH 503 instead. Decent sound quality and battery. Plays nice with the galaxy tab and Power Amp!

i have jabra stone
ive bought jabra stone voor 99 euro a few weeks ago and its really an amazing device.
- A2DP music (use it as a wireless headphone to listen music and also for videos)
- resistive touch 4 volume (no buttons but more like swyping over the headset)
- really comfortable
- long battery (you get a charing station more like a stone which you can carry with you and recharge the headset unite on the go which is really usefull.
- slik design. its whie like my SGT white. it looks nice and original. it looks next gen in my opinion.
- one thing i didnt really like was talking in outside while its windy. you hve to put your hand on in like fbi to make the other person hear you good.
- price

I get about 14 hours of music on one charge. Standby time must be really long as i keep it on for days and when I finally turn on my phone BT it connects right away.

I am looking for new desktop speakers

Hey people as I said in the title I am looking for some new speakers for my desktop. However, thanks to my current dual monitor setup I need either really short speakers or something like laptop sound bar so the speakers don't get hidden behind the monitors. So if someone has any suggestions that be great.

No I do not unfortunately, here is a pic to show how much space I have, as you can see I currently already have a speaker hidden behind them.

Bump I'd still like to hear some suggestions, preferably for speakers under 100 dollars and I only need 2 speakers since I wouldn't be able to spread out surround sound speakers properly in the room I have my computer in.
Under your budget are the m-audio av30 speakers.

At $149, I'd definitely recommend the av40.

Anyone tried Taotronics BT earphones with G4?

Hi,
I am very pleased with my Sony SBH50 BT earphones but they are not made for sports, I am tempted by the Taotronics magnet sport model but I wonder how well they perform with the G4.
Anyone tried it?

Jaybird Bluebuds X are great, I would assume the X2 will be just as good.

I got them for Xmas, they are amazing, battery last like 8 hours continuously, get Viper 4 android and they are even better, and when they say noise cancelling they mean it, i had my phone music volume at half and i turned the tv 40/60 and i couldn't hear it, super easy to set up and the volume on the headset is separate so be sure to turn that up as well as your phone volume

Oh yea, i do gymnastics and flips and stuff they never fell out, maybe got a little loose but just push them back in with little force, i also run with them and play soccer with them and they never fall out, unless you get hit in the head with the ball then they might fly out

Thanks for the report.
Sounds like a good deal like the first hifiman that hit the market

They work very well. Clear sound. Sometimes paring messes up and you have to re-pair. But haven't happened to me in a long time. Overall very please with the sound quality decent highs and mids. You need an EQ to get better basses though.

MOTO G3 2015 earphones

which earphones are compatible with moto g3 2015???
As far as I have "read/heard" Xiamoi Piston 3 are working also the volume buttons... But I had no chance right now to test by myself
Enviado desde mi MotoG3 mediante Tapatalk
Yeah I am using mi piston 3...volume buttons and everything works....good to go for it.
Right now i use the Earpods, they sound really good and are cheap (in my country). But i had to make a adapter to make the volume control work, because in iDevices the polarity of the microphone is inverted.
just ordered audio teechnica ath clr100 . heard a lot of positive reviews about them
I use Sennheiser CX 180. A bit cheap, but that coupled with Viper4Android offers an awesome sound quality, imo.
It's also surprisingly rugged, despite looking fragile.
audio technica ath clr 100 are amazing. if u are a base head then stay away as these are for clear neutral sound(not flat but balanced)
Cuz i lost my idevice i am using my iphone headphone sound like good
am using soundpeats qy7 bluetooth , its a new company ,awesome hi-fi sound with good bass , you can read review of this in amazon
price is INR 1900,
I'm still using my Motorokr EH-25 from my Motorola Milestone I love it!

Both Sony's MDR-ZX300AP/B (over-ear headphones) and Apple's Earpod work ok. I tend to use Sony's when I'm at home and the Earpods while I'm running or cycling.
I use ATH-CLR100 In-Ear Headphones!
I use these coupled with V4A

I use xt 180, sennheisser. Superb
M using JBL T150A.Dont think someone would find any other in-ear earphones with mic with such amazing sound output at such a cheap rate.Bass is Good.Noice Cancellation is also worth mentioning .
Xiaomi Piston III. About $20 they perform like an pair that is at least $75. The quality is amazing for the price. Has a mic, pause, fast forward, and rewind button. Can't reccomend enough.
i use good old inears philips she3581. top sound
How about jbl c100si....wesome sound clarity woth bass and great price

Sony MDR-ZX310... Very good sound..
Beyerdynamic MMX102IE - were bought on sale and worth it - wasn't willing to fork over more than $80 on IEMs (unless they were ATK's or other) since I've been burned by reviews recommending poo headsets (within the $100 range). Nobody was talking (or even mentioning) about these at the time so figured what the heck. Not disappointed - likely to be more bassy than the ATK's but as with everything else they can be EQ'd to suit anyhow.
The next step up would be some Koss cans or whatever Chinesuim BT headset I can get away with while riding the bus and not being a mugging target
