DAC on HTC 10 - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

SD820 built-in or third party

I've been wondering that myself
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Based on the specs alone, I have to imagine it is 3rd party. I've only seen specs listed though, not what manufacturer chip it is, so I can't say for sure.

Probably a 3rd party, otherwise every OEM that uses SD820 would brag about it.

It's got to be third party. It sounds WAAAY better than my S6, and that had a Wolfson.

Yeah. I have been googling it for sometime now. All results pointed to "24-bit Hi-Fi DAC" no branding. So I was just wondering why HTC doesn't mention it. V10 has bragged it has ESS Sabre 9018C2M. Is there a way we can confirm this by running an app and showing all the details.

We probably have to wait for tear down.

Hey can any of you audiophiles suggest a good pair of headphones that don't cost $3 or $4 Hundo? Do they have to be a special kind? I read something about hi-def but I just don't know enough.

I use Audio-Technica ATH-IM02, and it's great.
Would recommend to anybody who wants good sound quality headphones.

Using ScullCandy 50/50 in-ear (~ 40 EUR) as well as AKG Y50 on-ear (~ 80 EUR). Both with nice sound if one's not an absolute pro user.

ATH-M50x is the way to go if you value sound quality for all genres. Every audiophile would recommend those without hesitation. Best bang for buck balanced headphones for under $200. You can do more research on them if you do not believe me.

Sony MDR-V6 is cheaper than most of the ones mentioned so far, and they're the ones that the sound engineer who recorded and mixed the music you're listening to probably used.
Frequency response: http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=1513&graphID[]=4313&scale=35
But, the DSP on the 10 should be able to do a decent job compensating for differences in frequency response. Check out the difference in harmonic distortion between the two (Flatter line outside of the spike at 500Hz is better).

One of so many reasons I will buy this beast is because of the DAC. I already have the NAD VISO HP50 to pair it with.

You can give these a shot. I have them and they sound great.

Check out Sennheiser HD598.
I'm a little crazy I use Denon AH-D7000 and a pair of Sennheiser HD600. Not cheap...especially the first one I mentioned.

I'm using it with the Audio-Technica ATH-R70X as its daily driver. It sounds absolutely wonderful with the phone.

Knowing your price range, music styles, and style headphone you like would make it easier.
For over-ear closed-back headhones around 100 bucks ATH-M50X
For over-ear open-back headphones around 100 bucks Sennheiser HD-598 or Grado SR-80i
For in-ear around 100 Sony XBAH1
If you want to go cheaper:
Beyerdynamic DTX 350p
These are my current heapdhones:
hifiman re400 $80
fostex t50rp mk3 $150

HTC really needs to come clean on the DAC usedin the HTC 10. I have the LG V10 also, and LG has not been shy about what DAC and AMP they used. Is there no way to find out using software?

I'm betting the 820 with EQ tweaks. Otherwise they would shout from the mountaintop about the DAC hardware.

Are there any high end in-ear phones with a microphone? Can't stand the hassle of answering a phone call while listening to music in wired headphones without a mic.

What is the best in-ear headphones for under £30 please?

Long story short wanna know what you guys recommend please? I bought me self a pair of what i thought beats for £23 pounds and well were the fakes and basically got done for those. Second they are not that great and would like to find out what you guys recommend please.
If i had the money i would get a pair of Beats but really do not think they are worth that much. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
If you are looking for quality around that mark uoull be hard pressed.
My suggestion is to go and try a pair of shure e4's. They are around the same price as the beats buds.

They are not just good at bass either. Decent response across the range. Have a nice tangle-free cable, and have the added accolade of being the most over-packaged product I've ever bought. If you end up getting them, I'd be interested as to how long it took you to get them out their box!
Check the reviews here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/a-jays-three-heavy-bass-impact-earphones-p25667.htm
Had mine for 6 months now and they are still going well so don't worry about the review that said they break after a month.
The Sennheiser CX300 II, or the Sennheiser make are very good, have a look for the cx300 on eBay they are going for about 15 I think which is cheap

Tbh sh cx300/2 are pretty naff. You can get them from play for about twelve quid, and that is about what they're worth.
Monster beats are also pretty bad and have similar characteristics to the cx300s. Although both will suit if you just like dumf dumf dumf with no definition in the middle.
Look for a similarly titled thread to yours, but in dollars (40 not 25 iirc) and you'll find a review site with hundreds of earphones on.

Use the 30 quid and buy two pairs of these mate, cant go wrong. You'll have a backup set that way too in case of emergency.
They sound great and have amazing bass. Nice thick wires too compared to some others.
I would recommend Shure SE215, or Phonak Audeo PFE 022 .

As a owner of the a jays and sennheiser mm30i I would say hands down the sennheiser headphones are head and shoulders better.
Much better detail and bass response plus the a jays leak sound like crazy.

I have a pair of these and they sound fantastic for the price. However for my ears the fit with any of the included tips is terribly uncomfortable and fall out pretty easily, but I've also never found any in-ear earbuds that actually feel comfortable and stay in anyway so take that for what it's worth. Also I can hear the wires bouncing around pretty badly as I walk.

I recommend for that price range the MEElectronics SP51 which has 3 different ways of setting it up for bass (Sound Tuning ports).

Amazon had a Cyber Monday sale on the Klipsh Image X10. At about $85 I think they where a great deal. Keep an eye out for the UE TripleFi 10 to possible go on sale between now and Christmas, they are sometimes at around $100 (or less) around Christmas.
Meelectronics are a good bang for the buck company across their various offerings. I have their M6 model I use when running.

At that price those might just be perfect for dedicated gym headphones! Thanks for the link!
I may have the unpopular opinion, but I have to give my good graces and kudos to the new Apple earpods. I have had the old earbuds and now the new pods. The difference is extraordinary. I am hearing clear differences between the two. I don't ever use stock music players with my phones, even though I've found the stock music players in both the Note I and II, are really great. I use third party music players because there's usually much more customization. With the player I use and their enhanced bass settings, plus the new Apple earpods, I am hearing extreme bass and really clear sound in all of my music... sounds I don't recall hearing with the old Apple earbuds.
Also, unlike with the Note I and/or the old Apple earbuds, the new earpods actually work with the Note II as a functioning headset! Found it out by sheer accident. They have never worked with any other Android phone, so I never tried. A friend called me while I was listening to music, and I answered the call before I attempted to disconnect the earpods. That's when I heard my friend talking through the headphones. I said, "Hello" and he heard me... loud and clear according to him. I was super excited! So for only $29.99, you may wanna try these. If you can get em from Best Buy, you can try them out and if you don't like them, you can return them within the window of returns for a full refund. You can't beat the price, especially if you end up liking them.
I love these threads
I want the BEST earphones, i don't care what they are, I want the BEST....as long as its under $50
The BEST in my opinion? Westone 4R. Aural bliss
Best headphones money can buy
For around 90 bucks, you can pick up a pair of sure se215's. Just look around you can get them on the cheap, and you will be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones in this price range. They sound better than the Klipsch s4's but are a little more pricey, and they have a very nice fit.
I love the sound of the Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi buds. I've tried a bunch, and they are the best I've heard. But, if you're going to be rough on them, expect to buy a new cable every 6 months or so.
Lately, for just walking around and listening to podcasts, I've been using the Plantronics BackbeatGO (they were on sale at BestBuy for $80, you can get them at Amazon for $75 now). Only 4.5 hours of battery at a time, but if that's long enough for you, they are incredibly comfortable and not bad sounding.

Earphone Suggestions?

Hello Oners I didn't see a earphone thread so ta da. Discuss what you use and what you advice and maybe links to where you can get them from. I'll start off by saying I'm using the apple earpods. I know I know I know... they work great Mic and play pause but no vol.

If you are looking at $100 headphone consider the Klipsch X10s. They originally retailed for $350 and are some of the most comfortable and best sounding in ear headphones on the market. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-X10-Noise-Isolating-Earphone/dp/B000WAHFBK They were doing a sale a while ago for $89.99 but they can still be found on ebay for $100.
If you are not wanting to spend that amount go for the Klipsch Reference S4 not the normal edition make sure it's the reference they are amazing for their cost. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Reference-S4i-In-Ear-Headphones/dp/B005ZNHK4Q/ref=pd_cp_e_2 still $49.99 they will destroy all in ear headphones under $100.

This is what I'm currently using and was told by several people it would support multiple phones. It does, sometimes...weird I know. The concept behind these I think is good. I personally hate bluetooth and hate earphones. These if they would work perfect the entire time I would love. I think I'm going to be taking them back to the Sprint store this week and looking in to some other options as well.
I have no problem paying the high dollar for them but only if they do everything I want.
Depends but for price the phillips she3580 or similar is a cracking match.
They share different model names but they're the same driver.
Just a tiny little bud.

Yeah got mine the other week, great sound from the headphones, nice design to go with the phone and a compatible remote. What more do you want for 30£? :good:
My headphones are Etymotic ER-4P. (This model has been discontinued, but the ER-4PT is very similar).
My requirements for headphones are somewhat unusual. First, I'm partially deaf, which means I need high-end sound quality. There is obviously a point of diminishing returns - when the distortion/noise introduced by the phone itself is significantly greater than that introduced by the headphones; but anything less than high-end sound means I can't understand dialog in a downloaded movie or TV show. (Also, when I do listen to music, it's classical, and that is much more vulnerable to distortion than modern stuff). Second, I do a lot of listening on trains on the London Underground; shutting out as much background noise as possible is therefore a major priority.
I don't usually move around too much while listening - someone who wants to go the gym or go jogging would want a different model. And the ER-4PT is not a headset - there's no microphone, so you can't make calls with it, and there's no track-switching control. (If that's an issue then the next model down does have a headset equivalent called the HF2).
Etymotic aren't as good value now as they were when I bought mine, but sound quality is very good, and exclusion of external noise is truly superb - officially they reduce it by 35-42dB, depending on frequency. (The level of noise isolation is the same on much cheaper Etymotic models, although obviously the sound quality isn't as good).
I've got Bose AE2i and Mie2s
Works really well imo

I have a pair of the LG Tone Plus and they are awesome! 15 hours of battery life and great sound when playing your favorite jams on your HTC One! Highly recommend if you want the bluetooth kind and ability to connect two phones does work.

You should go check the Headfi forum. I'm a regular poster there. One thing to note about the HTC One is that they have excellent driving capabilities thus making the use of an external amp useless unless you're trying to drive something like K701s.
To put things into perspective, they drive my 600ohm DT880s perfectly with a mild spike in volume at about the <500Hz range.
I personally like to use them with my m100s when I'm out and about.
They should drive IEMs no problem. I would even say that they're overkill for a sensitive earphone like the S4. They sound great with se215s.
Tbh the stock IEMs are suprisingly good. Great bass extension but also a considerable amount of mid-bass hump leading to some sound corrruption in the mids. Highs are lacking but for what they are I definitely would not recommend spending 100$ for IEMs like the S4 for what is in my opinion a very mild upgrade.
Just use the stock phones.

Good earphones for the HTC One?

Hi guys, i've been using the headphones that come with the One since i got them, but they mysteriously stopped working yesterday. I think i may have accidentally damaged the cables, anyways.... I was wondering if anyone had any good headphones they could suggest for under $100. I've heard some really great things about the Klipsch S4A lineup from other forum members and friends, and i was just wondering if any One owners had any experience with them. :good:
Just get them they are awesome
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I'll vouch for them... I've owned every set of Klipsch headphones and they all are better than any headphones you'll get with a phone. The only ones I'd recommend against are the low-end over-the-ear armature units they made on their first batch back in 2008.
I bought a pair of Yamaha EPH-30WH when they were on sale for $22.
Combined with Beats Audio they sound amazing! The bass is right where it needs to be, everything is so clear and I'm starting to notice instruments and effects and details in songs I just haven't been able to hear with my previous ones. Read the reviews on amazong:

I have a 2yo set of Senn IE6s. Quite nice. I paid about $100 when I got them.
I personally use the Beats Tour.
Yes, they're very expensive BUT
sound quality is really good. Compared to the stock HTC headphones that came with the One and UrBeats (I got both with my One), well... The htc and urbeats sound very dull, even though these are pretty darn good headphones too I hear people say. I gave the UrBeats to my sis whose headphones broke and kept on listening with my Tours happily. They have released a tours 2.0 though, so I'm a bit outdated now
(they also released beats studio 2.0)
I've also heard great things about V-Moda
I use some £5 monoprice in ears which are surprisingly good considering their cost.

The best head phones I ever bought are the incipio f38's. You can pick them up on amazon for about 30 bucks. You won't find anything under 100 bucks that performs like them.
Beats headsets are not worth the money. You are just paying to give dr dre free advertising with that big ugly logo on the side. Children in korea or China made them at a cost of 20 bucks max they do sound good but not for what you pay for them. Im rocking sonix 3s headset they are the best ear buds I have ever had they match the htc one style perfect too.

I was wondering if anyone had any good headphones they could suggest for under $100. I've heard some really great things about the Klipsch S4A lineup from other forum members and friends, and i was just wondering if any One owners had any experience with them. :good:

Hi thanks man, ive done a bit of research and they look pretty good.
I've been trying out a variety of earbuds lately with my HTC One and between the Sony MH1C, V Moda Remix and Munitio Billets, I'll say I'm very happy with the Sony buds. The clarity of the frequency range(1 Hz-20kHz) is very nice, well-controlled and works for a variety of genres and it's one of the few earbuds/headsets where I've not heard that annoying static/hiss during quieter parts of songs. All three of those earbuds go for around $30-40, but the MH1C I was only able to get for that price at Negri, otherwise they go for $80 direct from Sony.
Beats headphones are garbage. They leak sound like crazy and all they focus on is bass. The clarity is terrible.

I have a set of Sony XBA-1's and I love them. They do a great job of balancing out the Beats over bassing of everything. They are highly reviewed abd very affordable. I got them on clearance at Target for $21

3rd party compatibility
Has anybody experienced issues where 3rd party (cheap) headphones don't work properly?
I have tried about 4 different ones, and with all of them there are problems. One of them skips tracks and adjusts volume when you wiggle the jack plug, others register single click as a go back to previous track.
Only the ones that came with the phone work correctly in all areas, but i have got audio coming out of only one side so need to replace them.
Got some official ones ordered from the site, but they were £30. Is this a common issue with the HTC one? Or could my phone be damaged?
Thank you.
i've tested Sony and Bose from two friends for a week, after i decided that my beats makes me happier

Looks really nice. I feel that people are going to mistake them for Beats because of the "tape" wire and the red but looks like a solid buy for ~$40.
The YouTube video is kind of a pointless ad. Doesn't even make any sense, just a mini video of punching.
But will they ever be available?
The video is really pointless IMO but I like the earphones, keeping aside the Red that reminds me of Beats. JBL quality beats Monster's (pun intended) any day of the week and at 40 USD it's a pretty solid buy.
Only thing is, I use stereo Bluetooth earphones
The brand seems to get good reviews of their sound and the design is sexy. I wish they'd come in more colours, but, the oneplus-red is quite nice too.
Trying to get a hold of the phone first, then would love a pair off these!
Release date?

I love Sennheiser, I have a pair of momentum and love them although I use my Sony MDR-1RMC for traveling on long flights. I find the Sony to be much more comfortable, I have biggish ears. My wife on the other hand had no problems with them even over long periods like on the flight to Texas from London for the F1
Why others don't have the adjustable jack angle I don't know, although I wish they didn't have the push and twist connection on the headphone side.

pistons are better
No delivery to Germany ...
Just got my e1+ today. They're actually not bad. Just needs some eq, see photo. This setting should be close to a flat response curve (to my ears at least). Each person's ears will vary.
My headphone arsenal: triple fi 10, grado sr80i, Sennheiser 560.
I think they're really great for $40, but I think they're worth $30. The plastic does feel a little cheap but then again, these aren't high end headphones. They do look durable, im planning on using these for running. The silicone tips are good but I changed them to comply tips.
The e1+ is focused more towards the mid and higher bass region. So it may sound dull. The higher treble frequencies are lacking. Good for songs with already high treble and bass heavy (eg techno, dubstep etc.) I listen to a lot if jazz and blues hence why my eq is setup this way.
If anyone is looking to getting this headphone, I say unless you can get a discount, look elsewhere.

They don't. The only reason why these are getting attention is because of the OnePlus name (which screams value) and the name brand that is JBL. They're nothing special.

Thanks for your feedback, I guess I will stick to pistons, I can buy 3 of those for the price of one. I prefer listening to real dedicated stereo system for music and only use earphones when I'm traveling.
