Is the LG O4X audio quality & volume through headphones really that bad? I've read GSMarena's review as they've now posted the audio part of the review. They said it possibly one of the worst devices they've tested
This will be a deal breaker for me. :-( what do you guys think?
Any previous GSII ownes in here that can provide input on personal opinions between the quality of the two?

Audio quality seems fine to me. GSMArena suspected they had a faulty unit, and said they would try another but I have yet to see an update to the review to reflect this.
I did see that but thought what is the chance of them receiving a faulty unit. Im currently using a Galaxy S II, and the audio quality via music player suits me. I reappy want the 4X as its a sexy beast, just wouldn't be able to cope with crap music quality.

The sound quality is pretty good on the 4x. I upgraded after breaking my milestone and I was also iffy on buying the 4x because of the gsm review... when I tested it out, it sorta felt like my entire phone became a speaker but it instantly became muffled when I covered the grill. Black magic is at work here lol
Im on about through the headphones lol

Oudio output is fine for me too, though not as good as the One X, a little louder would not be a bad thing, but overall as good as other smartphones in the segment.
It is, once again, fine. Satisfactory. I don't like in-ear headsets so I just use the ones that came with my milestone 2 years ago >_> I did try the headphones that were in the box though, they unlock some eq presets along with an option to manually tweak the levels. But plugging in any headphones will unlock that.
...as good as the other six smartphones I use, honestly. I always check music quality through my $500 akg closed headphones with quite a range of high quality files and the 4x sounds really fine, absolutely no problem here.
Just bought 4X to replace my 3.5" iPhone 4S, everything is fine except the sound quality which I must say is terrible compared with iPhone especially when using the built in speaker Maybe it's because the speaker is at the back of the phone

What if you set the O4X on its front so that the speaker grill is facing upwards? Will it be not as terrible? Is it really that bad compared to iPhone 4S?

Only the sound is louder, quality won't improve no matter where you face the speaker. Apart from Moto's Raxx, iphone's sound quality is excelent (from my own experiece).
I downloaded Poweramp as recmmended by local forum here to my 4X and the sound quality improves a little bit.

ok the sound of the built-in speaker is poor, but with headphones, for me, the sound is great. I don't think it's very exciting listen music with the speacker ......
Use the right headphones (i got a HTC set) and download the POWERAMP app...
Gives what u need
hi guys, what about the call quality? is it loud n clear on speakers?
It's okay. I went through a few phone calls and I didn't experience any problems and have no complaints.
Although... has anyone else noticed that the voice for navigation is kinda quiet? I turned it up to max and drove a few suburbs over but I felt like it was a bit too gentle for a car environment.
Music over bluetooth, Motorola Motorokr s305 stereo headphone & headset works good. But dolby mobile setting stutters (to bad, cause I liked the sound). I now use the headphone amplifier setting. Also good, but not as loud as Dolby mobile.

Did anybody try the headphone out with high-end multidriver iems (Like Shure SE535, Phonak PF232 or Westone UM3x...)?
I'm an iPhone 4S user and the headphone out is almost perfect when listen thru my UM3x. Hence i was wondering if the 4X would be close in terms of noise floor, resolution and frequency response.
Thanks in advance

If the TF10 sounds good and you have your treble then output impedance of the LG must be quite low which is a great thing.
Could you fill me in about the noise floor (Noise that you can hear when you pause the music till the amp section shuts off).
Thanks a lot
Audio quality problem
I sometimes hear below average audio quality and I have to re-insert my head phone to get normal audio. Do any body facing this problem
How's the sound quality (through headphones)? As noisy and awful as the Galaxy S II is supposed to be? As "clean" as the output in the HTC One S? Or more likely somewhere in-between?
And it's obviously subjective but how's the sound stage? Is it "flat" like some users of the US S4 Galaxy S III claim, compared to the Wolfson Galaxy S III's?
I like the hd sound best compared to rhe one x s3 and nexus stock bc the eq works really well. The stock eq even adjusts apps output like rdio as well. I wish it had an am/fm radio. I saw nothing special in the sound of my intl s3. The nexus rooted w franco kernel and sound enhancement is the highest quality u can hope for w android. JB helps as well.

i think sound quality is great!! only thing that bugs me is, since the speaker grill is in the bottom next to camera, whenever i put it on the table it kinda sounds small since the speaker grill is blocked but otherwise when you are holding it on hand, it sounds really good and loud!!

I have no issues with the clarity of the sound. I honestly feel that loudness isn't a great indicator of sound quality .. loud =! good quality

well i didnt mean loud= good but big sounding speaker is always a plus when u have a lot of noise goin on!!! but i get your point too.. :silly:
What about the quality through BT or headphones? I rarely use the speaker on the phone, but not a day goes by that I link my phones media player to my car stereo or listen through good headphones while doing various tasks...
I've read people saying that connecting to BT in a car gets screwy when you have the Smart Actions enabled... anyone have any insights?
Comparing to one x tgis doesnt do as good. Choppy is right but i have smart actions enabled so i will try without smart actions and get back with it

I currently own an HTC ONE GPE and trying to make a switch to Moto X. HTC ONE is considered to have the best DAC and best audio volume according to GSM arena. My only worry is audio volume and quality via headphones on Moto X ?
I have done tons of research on the topic and there seems to be mixed reviews on audio quality.
What do you guys say -
Is the audio volume loud enough ? Is it louder or par with iphones ?
Is the sound quality comparable with HTC One ?
Do i need to use low impedance or high impedance headphones ?
Or should i use bluetooth headphones like jay bluebird earbuds ?
Let me know
I thought the moto x had terrible audio quality when I got it but turns out the 3d EQ setting is on my default . to me it made it sound like crap. Turn it off and walla

Not sure about the iPhone 5, but my Moto X speaker puts my wifes 4s to shame. And I just use my Samsung ear buds... They sound pretty good to me.

The moto x's speaker is suprisingly loud, clear, and bassy. Headphones sound great.:thumbup:

QFT, all my friends and family were surprised on how loud it was. You won't be disappointed by the speakers performance. It was another reason I chose it over the Nexus 5.
Sent from my Moto X
Definitely louder and richer sound on the speaker than my Nexus 4. However it doesn't sound as good through earphones, at least from what I remember. That could be equalizer settings though.
I had the HTC One Mini, and Iphone 5s before I got the MotoX. The Moto X sound is way louder then both of those. I really notice when I put the Moto X on its back while playing music, it makes it louder. This is with WinAmp as the player. I really like the Moto X for playing music. No complaints here.
My thoughts after a week..
Call quality is good. Nothing to necessarily boast about, but no negatives to report. 75% more than loud enough for me, no complaints about quality on my end.
Speaker sounds good, again nothing to really boast about. I usually don't listen to music from the speaker - podcasts, occasional youtube - so I can't really offer up any detailed diagnosis. Definitely sounds better coming from my Galaxy Nexus, and more than suitable for my daily use.
As for headphones.. I have a decent pair and a crummy pair and they sound comparable with my other devices and music. I mainly use my Jaybird Bluebud headphones and absolutely zero complaints. 16 Ohms* for reference, and they sound great, but I haven't heard any unusual reports about headphone consistency anyways so whatever you have should translate in quality (source consistency provided). Bluetooth issues and 4.4+ seem to be more consistent with speaker setups / car use but don't quote me, but I've had no bluetooth issue between 4.2.2 and 4.4 and my headphones. Can't comment on other bluetooth compatible issues.
Can't find anything in this department to fault the device on, personally, but YMMV, of course :good:

lower impedence is generally regarded as a good thing in iems but for reference;

Hi
I currently have a Moto G and I like it alot apart from the camera and the sound quality via headphones. I had the Galaxy Note 2 before this it was way better on clarity and low end. I understand that it's a much more expensive phone so not really a fair comparison.
I just wondered if anybody had any experience with the Moto G and Moto X and if the X has noticeably better sound quality of the two?
Thanks,
I like the sound quality of my headphones on the moto x. I have my old sgs4 headphones but I used my old apple headphones as well and sound quality on the s4 headphones are better than the apple headphones. But it would sound a lot better with viper4android as well
MOTO X

Thanks for the insight.
Anyone else with an opinion?
I do really like my Motorola headphones, but I'm now using my old Samsung ones, as they seem to have clearer sound quality.
And yes, you definitely should install Viper4Android, it's just the best.
Does anyone else not like the quality of the speakers? When playing games, the speakers sound muddled. The speaker in the Galaxy S4 sounds clearer. Are there any settings I can change to make things sound better, or are the speakers just poor?
Try to disable equalizer in sound settings

I think the speaker on the Droid Turbo totally sucks.
On the higher frequencys, it sounds really cheap.
I think the Moto X 2014's speaker is much much better.
As someone who owns a myriad of high end audio equipment and has about 35gb of FLAC music on his Turbo...
The speaker is actually pretty loud for media. Turn off the EQ like mentioned and it sounds just fine with MX Player and movies. Highs sound just like any other phone speaker which means they're not great but either is the low end. Coming from the One M7 this is a slight downgrade in quality but I've found that it's just as loud.
As many have pointed out, in calls the phone is too low. That's simply software tweaking, though.
As for the headphone jack, it actually puts out more power than the S5 and Moto X (2014) in terms of raw measurable current. With that being said it doesn't mean its any louder or clearer. With PowerAmp I'm content with the headphone jack. It powers my custom molded Triple Fi Pro's with ample headroom to spare. It also powers my Audio Technica headphones just fine.
Headphone SQ is right on par with any other stock software. Still way behind a phone with Viper Audio but I'm still hopeful it will come to us eventually

Im not getting the same results over here. :crying:
If I play the "Orion" and the "Moto" ringtones on the Moto X 2014 and on the Droid Turbo, they sound MUCH better on the Moto X 2014.
The Moto Assist, as the ringtones, screeches much more on the Droid Turbo than on the Moto X 2014.
Im really disappointed with that, because one of the main reasons that I bought this phone (as many) is the Moto Assist.
Listening some screeches at every ringtone, music, alarm, or Moto Assist use is painful.
I already went to a mall, and tested if the problem is on my unit, but I discovered that its a model issue. Already tried to turn off the audio EQ. It gets a bit better, but the screeches remain.
All the other stuff (screen, performance, battery life, etc) around this smartphone is perfect.

I resolve the crackling issue.
Just had to turn down the volume settings (they were at max), and the speaker stopped crackling.
I think they used a worse quality speaker on the Droid Turbo than on the Moto X 2014.
Yeah, it's never good to have a speaker at full blast whether a tiny phone speaker or high end monitor.
I know you mentioned that you tested other units but I'd still try another unit. Over on the AC forums there have been people complaining about the speaker and a new unit resolved the issue.
Software won't fix a hardware problem but I do think a lot of our small quirks will be fixed in future updates.
A bit off topic, but when using the speakers during a phone call, the other person can always hear an echo of their voice. This never happened on my Galaxy Nexus. Is this a problem that can be fixed via software or no?
My speaker on my turbo sounds just fine and I'm a bit of a audio freak.
I cant provide a precise answer, but surely is better than the nexus 4 ones.
