Hi I've used a AKG 450 headset for a long time. The sound of it was very good if I used sony's w600 Bluetooth. If I connected it to the phone the sound wasnt to much to brag about. But now I've bought a sennheiser HD25-II-2 and a Fiio E11 but the sound through the Sony just sucks. But when I connect it directly too the phone, it sound, well, bloody f***ing good! So the situation has turned 360°. So what's wrong here? It got a great DA-converter but the phone's amp cant handle any resistance?
Amplifier, not a DA converter ;-)
I'm satisfied with sound, nothing spectacular but ok. It depends on what kind of headphones you have, higher impendance means higher load on headphone amp. Some like that, some not...
But, review on GSM arena said something about almost exceptional sound when connected to external amp so check it out

No, DA -converter. It must be really good compared to its amp. The akg is a perfect 32 ohms resistance, but still it sounded very bad indeed. But with the Fiio E11 amp it sounds so good that it just (almost) doesnt make sense
I seem to remember that the highend senheisers, needs power to play well. I always go for low resistance headphones, since i only drive them with my phone amp. Sound was good with my old Sennheiser cx300 and realy good with my Sunrise Xcape Impressive edition.
That was why I bought the amp. But I had no idea that this sound was waiting to be release from the x2! All the reviews points at the stereo crossover.
I wasn't aware about theese portable amps, i might be interested if i would gain anything with my easy driven inears. I haven't taken any concern about the crossover, i don't notice it. But I guess it would still be pressent with the amp.
I've just gone through the review from gms arena and the crossover is only with headset. That confirms what I experience with an amp. Believe me, it sounds really good!
Ok normaly the Xcapes don't need an amp. But that's with ipods and sansa clip's etc. Do you think the amp in the optimus 2 x is a lot less powerfull than mp3 players normaly is. Then i should consider getting an amp maybe the Fiio e5 ?
I havent heard the E5. Its dirt cheap and I bet it sounds like it. The E11 was about 36$ from mp4 nation when I ordred it ....
Edit: from mp4 nation: )
Ok just noticed the e6. An upgrade of e5. The sound quality is said to be good. But not on par wit e11
Just one way to find out.
i find it just a meh. the bass is flat.
The bass of E11 is very tight and punchy. Guess its the way to go then.
Hello guys !
I am not sure if anyone has noticed (or I'd rather say, has felt annoyed) by the stock headphones or by the output produced by the regular Jack 3.5 through their Type-C to Jack converter, but I have...
Personally, I am very demanding when it comes to music, and by choosing a 850-euro phone, this possible "issue" didn't cross my mind before I bought it. It seems like listening to music on this phone, (using headphones of course) comes with pluses and minuses.
As a Pro feature, the sound is excellent, the lows and highs sound quite good actually, but (there is a big "BUT") the maximum volume is too quiet, compared to other mainstream phones on the market, using mainly Jack interface for the headphones. The maximum volume on this phone, when using headphones is about 70-75% of the maximum volume on other phones (Mi Note Pro, Samsung Galaxy series, IPhone).
I made sure "Dolby atmos" is enabled, I have even tried raising all the EQ parameters (so that the general volume may be increased), I have also tried preamp-ing the sound with apps like Poweramp or Speakerbooster, but they would only sound like forced, and not actually louder, and the result is the same.
So, my sole question is : what should I do/buy/try in order to get a LOUDER experience when using headphones ?
Thank you in advance !
P.S.: sorry if I'm being awkward, it's my first post on XDA. Cheers !
Is there a safety volume limiter on?

Hello, I don't use high quality/impedance headphones with my P20 Pro but watch this review from about 15min 15secs in. I've not verified this but hope it helps you!

Just buy the Google Pixel 3.5mm USB C adapter , its the best. I also have the HTC adapter, but Google's one is better.

Thanks for the link. I found it a few hours ago, but I can't place the command, because my country is not covered by the official Google store, so I'm going to buy it from eBay
This worked a treat:

Because in wired mode the headphones are driven by the phone's amp and in Bluetooth they are driven by their own internal amp. Its why you can use wired mode even when the headphone battery is depleted.
How about any advice buying replacement earphones instead of the adapter? I'd rather just have one external thing to not lose. Are there any USB-C earphones that will do the same job as the replacement USB-C to 3.5mm for regular earphones?

I find it as loud as my S8 plus or Pixel 2 through headphones, but BT is where it's at for volume.

I don't think I need head/earphones. I have 2 pairs of earphones (Samsung and Sennheiser), a pair of HyperX Cloud Stinger II, and studio headsets from Focusrite. I have tried all of them. And they are not the problem.
I've had many Huawei phones and 3,5mm volume has always been too low

In what way are these better than the HTC adapters?

I use the HTC dongle linked in the video above. It makes a noticeable difference. Even my cheap £15 earphones are much louder using it over the Huawei dongle.
It won't blow you away, so be realistic but it is DEFINITELY a noticeable improvement and worth the investment if you listen to music.
In fact, even my larger headphones were louder but I think you need a dac/amp to really enjoy louder volumes on large headphones. It's the cheap earphones that I found gave the loudest sound.
Any body know what the model # is for the pre order headphones you get?
After some more looking around I suspect it's the AKG y50bt
I received an email from Samsung allowing me to pre-order, they list the N60NC.

So it's the wireless, Bluetooth one? Or the wired one linked above? I'm so confused.
here in Canada we are getting samsung crap, iconx wireless earbud instead. not sure what horse **** that is.
I own these pair of AKG N60NC headphones and they are absolutely my go to headphones for traveling. Its compact when folded and you can drop them in any size bag. The noise canceling is excellent too. Bluetooth and Noise Cancelling lasts 30 hrs on a single charge so I don't even bring the charging cable when I travel. Sound quality wise, don't expect audiophile level quality. Sound is still pretty good for what it is, a compact, noise canceling, and bluetooth headphone that lasts 30 hours.

Awesome, thanks for the input!
In Turkey, they gave away ICONX 2018 as a gift with Note 9
În România from Orange carrier they give dual wireless charger (the one for galaxy watch and phone) a fast charge battery 10.000 mah, the new dex and 100 euro to buy from orange store
I plan to sell it. I wonder how much would it go for on ebay?
I want to buy new earphones within 5000rs range.Kindly suggest me some good earphones.will the Google type c earphones work on OnePlus 5t.thanks
I am using AWEI X650BL Bluetooth dual driver earphones for about 6 months now.
I am very satisfied with the quality and battery life.
I'm using the RHA MA650, amazing bluetooth earphones, sound is amazing and balanced not too bass heavy. Has NFC for easy pairing and has aptX for better delivery and has over 12hrs of battery life. The best part for me is they charge using USB-C. Also they are sweatproof hence perfect for working out too. If interested, buy them from headphonezone (India only).
You guys tried oneplus bullets wireless? And playing PUBG with it?
i got this too... im happy!
U should try one plus bullet headphones. These are just amazing and works great while playing pubg.
