hello there
i am thinking of buying the htc desire , but after reading lots of reviews i didn't find any good answer of this question:
how's the sound quality of the earpiece during phone calls?
i work in a very noisy place , and currently i am using pro2 which is great when it comes to this point.
so , is the desire as good as the pro2 or better?? , please advice as i really need your opinions
thanks a lot
For me, the earpiece quality is more than sufficient.
But you might want to take a look at the Nexus One, wich has noise cancellation technology with a second mic.
i can't get the nexus one as it's not avilable in my country , and i am stuck with only two options the htc desire , and the sony x10
i pesonally like the bigger screen of the x10 , but i saw so many posts in its forum saying that it has a very poor sound quality
and i also like the sence interface of the desire as i am using it on my pro2
so compared to the pro2 to the desire how's the sound quality?
any help please
this point will be a deal breaker for me
thanks
Get either. They are both great. Although I prefer the desire's slim feel.
Then get a "Jawbone Prime" bluetooth headset. This has a sensor which detects movement in, you guessed it, your jawbone and only returns what its picking up.
I can make a call doing 70 on the motorway with all the windows down and the receiver can clearly only hear my voice on my headset.
Well worth the investment. Cost me £50

Since Desire doesn't have the noise canceling function of N1, how's the call quality of Desire compared to N1? Is there alot of difference?
it should be the same with the rest of HTC devices .... except Nexus One

People can hear me fine, that's all I care about. Not like Noise cancellation was going to effect anything on my end.
This is making me sound like a noob. But I thought the noise canceling was more meant for speakerphone capability?
There are 2 mics on my Touch Pro2 for noise canceling but that only kicks in when in speakerphone mode. Other times, only 1 of the mic is active.
Having just changed from a Compact IV/Touch Diamond I think the call quality is better, much clearer audio - at my end anyway!

Noise cancellation are for the other end users, ... for example if you are in a crowded place, this feature will make your voice clear to the other end.
even in Touch Pro2, ... when you put it in speaker phone there is a possibly that alot of noise will come, hence the importance of the noise cancellation, .. it will try to ignore the crowd and concentrate on delivering your voice only!
so, it is really meant for the other guy/girl to hear you clearer at the end of the line, ... not you, unless if you wanna hear your voice through your phone, .. which doesnt make sense, Lol
must say im well impressed with the call quality of my desire. calls sound crisp and plenty loud cant believe how good it is ! mind you my previous phone was a xperia x1 which sucked balls for call quality the desire is in a different league altogether !
It is better than my HTC HD2 and much better than my previous iphone in my opinion
hello freinds,
i've been reading a lot about the desire and i decided to buy one.
one thing that i can't find an answer to , is how about the call quality and the earpiece volume.
i work in the most noisy place the you can imagine, and now i own pro2 and it's really really great.
so comparing to pro2 , how's the earpiece volume??
and how's the sound quality in general
please advice
thanks a lot
i didnt have a Pro 2,
But in Comparison to my N97, the Call Quality seems to drop a little from my Nokia,
Nothing Major, But from the moment i put that phone down to picking this one up i noticed,
now when i listen its crystal clear,
The sound that comes from the speakers is good, but its too loud for the speakers and you get that horrible noise when you have the phone on Full Volume,
Leave it down by one and your OK,
Mic i find was good my GF said she could hear me very clear,
All in All Very good Hope it helps a little
After selling my iPhone 3GS I bought a HTC desire because I really like Android.
Sense is well done but the sense player gives an awful sound quality through the speaker. Really. I get headaches and a strange feeling in my ears when listening music using the desire/sense mp3 player/speaker. The iPhone 3GS player/speaker sound was way better I think. Any ideas what to do? Google search and forum search were not very helpful this time. By the way: I own a HTC HD2, and it seems to me like the speaker sound is bad too. Is HTC using low quality hardware speakers? I thought HTC is some kind of high end stuff.
I would be glad to get some kind and helpful replies.
Don't use the internal speaker for music playback. Buy yourself a decent pair of headphones or buy a small active speaker. You won't look back...
I'm interested in buying this device, but one thing that most reviewers never mention or test is the audio recording quality.
(This was/is a major disappointment with my current device, HTC Desire)
Can people test this and comment on this? More specifically:
-how well can it still record high volumes, at concerts, club, etc...
-stereo?
-which format
Haven't tried much myself, but this video shows how bad it is outside if it's windy:
youtube.com/watch?v=zwwmSvwEQzI
I would guess loud bass (which is air pressure, like wind) at concerts and clubs will do the same.
It did on my previous LG and Samsung phones, only Nokia N82 and N8 did a decent job.
Thanks for the reply.
So it seems from that video (correct me if i'm wrong):
-the recording is in stereo
-it has some automatic gain control (already better than my Desire )
Maybe it would be better if you can set that gain manually
It does have stereo indeed. One mic at the bottom and one at the top, for stereo recordings and noise reduction while calling.
I can't say anything about the rest, but there will probably some experts in here too answer that soon.
Can someone try to record and upload a video with mono setting instead of default stereo?
You may want to check out my post and Youtube links here. There's a disturbing high pitch sound when I record in stereo, but not when I record in mono. I hope it's something easily fixable.

There is no getting around the fact that the audio is bad, no matter how you slice it. HTC is known for bad audio recording, and they are keeping with that tradition. Many HTC phones have stereo recording. Switching between mono and stereo has minimal impact. The wealth of youtube videos shows how HTC is keeping in line with their older phones. Nothing but high pitched clipping that stabs at the ear at the slightest wind, smallest bit of dialogue, or just a car passing by. Even if you can filter the shrill sound out, the actual voices are very robotic and garbled sounding. There are very little low frequencies. HTC is not going to "fix" it with an update because they never did in any of their other phones (like the Amaze 4G, Titan, Sensation, etc.) and expecting some magical update for a hallmark tradition of the brand is unreasonable. Their engineers either don't care or lack the competence for such a simple matter.
If this is a deal breaker, look elsewhere. Don't get coaxed into believing it will get better. This issue in particular will not. Otherwise, the One X is a fantastic phone, if you can ignore this one fatal flaw.
Kinda wished HTC had used the mic from the Rezound. Its so much better than the rest of HTC android phones (other than the annoying random static pops its still better..)
is it confirmed for sure that the One X has horrible music audio in videos? that is a dealbreaker for me because i would be recording myself DJing and concerts/festivals/raves. there hasn't been a post in here since the day it was released, so i need to make sure before i spend over $600. i can just buy a Canon or some other camera until the GS III comes out.
EDIT: it doesn't matter. i will find out myself. i need something to use until something better comes out, so if i don't like it then i will sell it to someone on here in the marketplace.
I have an HTC Sensation and the call quality is pretty poor. Hard to hear other person and I have it set to full volume. What's the quality like on the One X and if you owned a sensation before how does the call quality compare?
Can anyone answer this? Big part of whether i get the phone or not. Someone must have made a call. Thanks.
I've owned both and i'd say the One X is a big improvement for sure
I've had same problem with my x,but I also have a experia arc both are with Vodafone and they both have no signal bars or 1 or 2 at best.this isn't a phone problem as I thought it was its the network.my one x is unlocked and I've put a orange sim in and it now has 3 to 4 bars all the time,and I'm 2miles out of Manchester so plenty of masts about...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Yeap, same thing here...
Arent other people facing this issue?
Even a lot of online reviews mentioned this. But i never thought the mic quality is going to be this troublesome.
I tried calling myself on an Atrix/Galaxy S/Galaxy note
I myself find the microphone quality quite cheap. It picks up the slightest of nicks and bumps but its definitely too muddy for the other persons comfort!!
The call volumes were very low on my G2 and Sensation in the past. They fixed that but messed up the microphone quality!
Seriously disappointing. Not buying a HTC device ever again!
