hi guys
I have a neighbor 12 y.o. boy that have hearing problem. he got 4 birthday present a Note 20 ultra 5g (korian).
This sweet kid really into music, but unfortunately the bluetooth headphones volume isnt good 4 him.
I checked the level that he need with another device (my home hifi), and I have to increase the phone volume by 20%./.
the device is: Device: SM-N986N (snapdragon), Android version: 10.
The family & the boy dont really care about loosing warranty, so any real solution - falshing mods\custom roms & so on - is great.
come on guys help do some good 4 that boy.
tnx
Good deed Sir
What device is he using to listen with?
Hearing destroying volume levels was a Samsung issue... not the opposite.
The Buds+ should be able to kick out an extra 20+% easy.
If his hearing loss extends below 400 hz the bass will not be sufficient otherwise they'll probably do nicely.
There are also LDAC based hi res bt headphones that can pump out much more decibels if needed.
However the last thing he needs is more hearing damage; make sure he understands he should keep it at a comfortable level. A custom set graphic equalizer can help with that by bringing up the levels were needed and add to listening pleasure/comfort/safety.
Poweramp has probably the best one available for playing Android based .wav, mp4, etc. files.
Make sure volume limiting is not enabled. Check the device's advance audio setting and play with them.

I can read. The child has very acute hearing loss.
The Buds+ actually will go near the their driver's physical range limit*.
The driver will start to distort and then may even burn out.
A distorting driver isn't going to help.
Headphones (larger drivers but they have limits as well) then perhaps... check their specs.
Put head between two studio monitor speakers.
That's all I got...
*using Poweramp and most phone apks. Some online vids volumn are very low.

it isnt buds its over ear-earphones, the drivers their r much bigger then the buds. they r the same earphones that i test with my home hi-fi .

Be good if you knew how much hearing loss the child had so you could deal with hard numbers.
Are saying the devices are able to produce sufficient decibels throughout the audio spectrum for the child to hear but aren't?
Try a phone call with the bud in question; phone calls can go near the full volumn range of the device if sound level limiting is disabled.
Make sure the Buds+ firmware and Wearables software are up to date. Latest update was a week or two ago.
Try resetting network connections.

Whatever. No facts supplied by you yet you want a detailed solution.
Medicine is an art not a science but that's no excuse for your reply.
If a set of studio monitors can't be heard at 2 feet away...
Cochlear Implants.
How you like me now?
Whoa, watch the disrespectful responses there, OP. I recently went 95% deaf and require like a 300% volume increase. So a 20% volume increase with over ear headphones means that they're much less deaf than me (probably around 10-30% deaf, or mild to medium hearing loss. Mine is highly severe hearing loss). Either way, if you can't modify the volume via the settings menus that were already mentioned, then you just have to upgrade to Android 11's beta or to normal Android 11 after the official release date near January. Since side loading the beta, the bluetooth volume has naturally increased by about 15-20% - which sounds like what you're looking for. But other than that, there's nothing that the poor kid can do to help him hear again (unless he's in the Northeast part of the US). He'll, unfortunately, have to get used to his hearing loss and give up on his passion for music. I specialized in audio production, so I used to PRODUCE music and listen to music for like five to six hours per day... Now, I listen to music for just one hour per week and never make music anymore. It took me around four months to adjust to my lack of hearing, but it ended up changing my lifestyle in order to help avoid the constant depression that comes along with hearing loss - especially when your life revolves around audio...
Oh, and side note, you're not supposed to use studio-esque over ear headphones with cellphones - especially not the Sennheiser brand. Sennheisers, for the most part, all naturally produce MUCH less sound when connected to a cellphone because they're not getting the extra volume boost via an amp that they were meant to receive the whole time. If you really think that his hearing issue is extremely bad, then get him some Aftershocks Aeropex bone conduction headphones - those are what I use now. Because even if you're completely deaf, you can still hear the the cochlear vibrations that they produce.
I use this. Besides being a music player it also came with a separate "Boom System FX" app that allows you to increase the volume system wide, whether using headphones, earbuds or just the phone speaker.
I know this isn't bluetooth, but this is probably the best solution you'll ever find for super loud high quality audio.

Have you tried the app Volume Booster GOODEV. This is like a preamplifier that boosts and the amount can be adjusted. The phone volume can then be used. I use this and run it at 30% boost with 13% phone volume used only

The guys trying to help you out and you respond back in this manner, unbelievable.
The volume controls can be adapted to allow volume outside of the parameters using a developer option and GOODEV volume booster. Go into developer options and disable Absolute Volume control.

Does he have hearing aids?
My daughter is legally deaf...
We bought few.months back new hearing aids,
Phonak naida marvel...they have bluetooth, andnit changed the world for her.
@rastamit
maybe the following app is something for you:
Poweramp Equalizer - Apps on Google Play
Poweramp Equalizer is an advanced audio processing app
play.google.com
The Dev of Poweramp has release an early access "Poweramp Equalizer" app. I use it for Spotify with Galaxy Buds. You can increase the volume easily up to 50% I guess. Actually I have it on 25% and sound is still good quality.

My UK T-mob desire has a very quiet headphone out on it. It's not too bad with actually using headphones but it's noticeably quiet when I use it as a line-out jack into a stereo - it's just too quiet. I could live with it just for headphone use but it sounds pretty dire using line out.
Anyone know if this is a software thing or hardware? Seen some people posting about speakerphone volume issues, which I don't know if it's related.
Is this a T-mob rom thing? Is it EU max-volume restriction? Is the hardware at fault?
It's a bit of a disappointment as it stands as my phone is my main music player..
There won't be a definite answer on this because it seems volume is a subjective thing. People will insist theirs is louder than their other players, others will agree with out.
Me, I agree with you. Coming from an iPod Touch, the max volume is about 60% of an iPod. I can hear my music but not every instrument. From the mixed bag of responses it's hard to pin down if it's hardware or software. Judging by the fact previous Android phones have needed volume hacks I'd assume it's a software issue, but because volume is subjective and some people insist whispers are painful to their eardrums you won't see much action.
aw, crap. I'm comparing iphone output directly to this, on the very hi-fi but low sensitivity amp and speakers I have in the kitchen. It's no-where near line level, which could be easily verified. Sounds like I put up or go back to the iPhone. And I'm on a new 2 year contract with the desire. Arse. It sounds OK on my Sennheiser earbuds - won't go quite as loud as iPhone, but it's loud enough - it's the lack of a line level out that's irritating, particularly as there's no dock connector that could be used to extract one...
This is discussed in more detail here:

i actually find the volume a bit higher than my sony walkman.. i guess its what your used to .. some headphones will be easier to drive than others.. so it will appear to be louder with certain headphones

No, I actually do think some people got louder units than others. The "detailed" post above from A|ex is the problem. Too many people have assumed the volume levels on all the Desires is the same so they're arguing the relative merits of loud volume over low. I think people with normal sounding units are basically clouding the issue because they're satisfied.
Too many people have complained about the low volume for it to be a coincidence. I don't ever hear such complaints about iPods (issues with sound quality aside).
I will say this...this is the lowest sounding volume I have ever had on any device. It's not my imagination and it's not that I had my other devices too high. Even if it is that, say I had all my devices cranked up to 10 which is too loud, why is 10 on this phone where 4 is on every other phone?
There is a problem, and for those who have a decent sounding phone, fine...but stop making it out that people who's volume is too low are imagining it...it's not helpful.
exactly, it's not subjective in my case, it's demonstrably quieter when compared back-to-back with the same media played on a device with line-level out. it sounds OK on headphones as I don't need it ear-bleedingly loud but it sounds like ass hooked up to my stereo.
Am wondering wether to go back to the store and see if another unit is any differnt, but without taking a DB meter with me (actually, I have an app for that on my old iphone!) it's giong to be tricky to persuade them either way.
I've spent my life messing about with AV / recording / studio bits in an amateur fashion and this device is *quiet*
hi mate - wasnt implying your imagining it.. must be a problem with some units then as i can say on mine.. the volume is as loud or louder than most of the portable audio devices i have owned over the years and there's been quite a few!
i hope you get yours sorted and apologies for adding to any confusion
cheers,
mick

No, no...not you personally, I was referring to that post A|ex linked to above you. It's infuriating. From helpful hints to "turn the volume up" to anecdotal tales of the volume being TOO loud for their tastes. It's as if some people decided to be as unhelpful as possible.
is yours on t-mobile UK?
Yes, T-Mobile UK.
just been into t-mob store. guy who sold me mine has one and is technical - his does it. he thought it might be an EU-directive software limit. not particularly convinced this is useful information, but there you go.
It may be that. I distinctly remember that a few years ago when I owned a Creative Mp3 player I had to download and install the US firmware to get decent volume due to EU restrictions.
I will say this...this is the lowest sounding volume I have ever had on any device.

I can only speak for myself... It's the lowest sounding volume in any of my mobile devices since 2003 without a doubt. I have vids and audio on full volume around just 2 people nattering normally and I still can't make out the words (of slow speeches), headphone or loudspeaker [yet I have very sensitive and refined hearing, usually always on volume 1-3 on other devices around people]. Same piece on Nokia N95 only requires volume 40% to listen to with ease and clarity. My family and friends who have all heard the comparatives agree fully.

Im happy with my sound volume, I have a unlocked desire, don't now if this change something.

Ok, I'm on my second Desire now, still from T-Mobile. Sound is still low on headphones and hissy through speaker. I bought an unlocked Hero (for 120gbp I might add ;-) ) and compared the same song through headphones and speaker and the difference is incredible. Much louder output through Hero and greater clarity and depth to sound. I also have a standard iPhone 3G and I'm sad to report that the Desire's external speaker quality is LAUGHABLE in comparison.
Can HTC not release a device with no heartbreaking caveats?
I got a musical Christmas card last year with better musical fidelity than my Desire; perhaps I could swap the speakers???
testing results
I had the opportunity today to compare my T-Mobile Desire headphones output volume to an Orange Desire output. With the same track the T-Mobile device at full volume was equal to the Orange device at 3 clicks below full volume.
I'd already phoned T-Mobile for a new device which is arriving tomorrow. I expect it'll have the same problem, which if it does will help confirm that it is a T-Mobile ROM issue. If so I'll reflash it to the generic ROM.
you bloody legend. or desire, even. great news, can you post back if t-mob number two is the same?
correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to flash these until root's been done? i do like the htc sense rom and extras compared to the nexus but i'm mad keen to get this fixed as the phone's only partially useful to me without it.
cheers dude
I just debranded a T-Mobile UK desire for my bro-in-law and after debanding the headphone volume was twice as loud as before or should I say was as loud as my sim free desire . The lesson to be learnt here is debrand your phone whos wants T-Mobile crap all over it anyway .
OK, I'm sold. What ROM do you flash, and how? Never flashed an android handset before (done millions of WinMo ones though!) and do you lose anything - e.g. all the HTC sense stuff.
I remember doing my old HTC Wizard and removing the stock t-mob ROM with the Mr Clean ROM - easily twice as fast afterwards.
Go on, give me some pointers to research and I'll do it tomorrow.

Hi all,
I'm wondering what headset (Bluetooth/Wired) you use for your Note? I'm using Marshall Minor, but I still find the volume not loud enough.
Would any of you recommend something else? I live in Hong Kong which is fairly noisy, so something that has good volume would be great.
Thanks in advance!
I haven't got a Note yet, but I use the Sony MW600 bluetooth headset with my HD2. And I'd be lost without it - best thing I've bought!
No problems syncing to the device, it has remote control (pause, next/previous), hands free talk as it has built in mic, and comes with in ear buds, which are very good indeed. They block out quite a bit of external noise too, but you can plug in any headset you want to it if you want to go to higher spec headphones. Battery lasts about 10 hours continuous use, and it will re-charge of your Note's charger.
I'm not an audiophile, but I do like music. And it does me fine.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...w600---black?gclid=CLftmIS1n6wCFYEZ4QodOzpc_Q
Edit - Just had a look at the Marshalls, and these would offer a tighter fit in the ear then the Marshalls, so would block out more external noise. I wear mine in work, even if i'm not listening to music. I work in the print industry with loud machinery, and they are better than the ear plugs we get given, which reduce external noise by 27 dB. If I'm listening to music in work while my machines are running, and you want to chat - then you ain't gonna get through unless you're in my face!

My previous headset was the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800
Compared to the Sonys:
- They seem to fit better in my ear (they come with 3 different bud sizes)
- The earbuds are slightly larger and so I guess they do stick out a little more, though I haven't noticed any issue with it
- An extra 2 hours of call/music time
- Have FF/RW controls as well as volume adjust (The Sony's only have Play/Pause/Answer)
- I haven't had any issues with people hearing me or me hearing other people when using them, but I've yet to test them somewhere really noisy
- They come in Red (if that's your thing)

Thanks for the comparison. How's the sound quality compare to the Sony?
I was thinking about this but didnt bother getting one once i saw the Note, not as big as the press would have u believe!
I was considering the NOKIA J - i has a small clipable dock so i wouldnt have to have it in the ear all the time...
3 months standby time
Auto answer when taken out of dock
Few more feature i cant remember now, worth having a look at.

Besides being a gadget phone nut I am also a sick buyer of headsets. I have been in search of the perfect headset forever ..
There is one by Sony that I love the way it fits. They don't make it any more and every now and then I find one on eBay ..
I have the Sennheiser bluetooth headset. If you look hard you can find one new on eBay most of the time for about $60 .. I like that one a lot because I have small ear holes and those go on the outside of your ear ..
I also have 2 Bang & Olafsen bluetooth headsets .. One left ear which I am keeping and the other right ear which I am gonna sell when I find it .. I also have the wired Bang & Olafsen head set. I read that it has a teeny tiny microphone somewhere .. I don't know if that is my model .. use it for listening to music ..
I actually have a box of discarded bluetooth headsets. I should put them all together in one lot and sell them. Maybe I will do that today. Don't know if I can find all the chargers though .. They are all discarded because I find them uncomfortable to wear.
For music or movies I use the Sennheiser M400s which have a nice balanced sound and good battery life. For calls, it's hard to go past the Plantronics Discovery 975 - small and sleek, super comfortable to wear, and really good battery life (especially with the included charging case).......
I can't wear anything that doesn't go around the ear. And if it goes in the ear, ugh. After a half hour I have to take it out because it gets painful. Maybe if I had bigger ears .. or Man Ears .. it wouldn't be so bad. They are doing hearing aid implants now, maybe they could do a little bluetooth implant ??

Any chance you can take a picture with the headset on? I want to see how it looks on and have an idea on how much it sticks out. I cannot find a pic or review anywhere for this headset.
I got these 2 days ago from Amazon:
amazon.de/Philips-SHB9001-00-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00424O4RU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320610417&sr=8-1[/url]
the quality while talking is not the best but its enough for me.
Despite the positive comments about the quality of just listening to music, i can hear some "scratches" when a song gets "heavier". This is my first BT Headset so maybe its normal for BT headsets, or i just overlooked a setting i have to change in the Software.. Hint, anyone?

Do you have a budget in mind? I think we can offer better suggestions if you give us a budget range.
I use Sennheiser IE8 connected to a Sony/Ericsson Bluetooth receiver on the go, and a small digital analog converter/amplifier by NuFore together with the headphones when working.

Hi, thanks for replying. I do not have a budget in mind, my usual principle is to pay what's worth its salt.
So far, everyone's recommended bluetooth wireless headsets, I'm not a big fan of charging stuff, having need to recharge my phone nightly already. But if there are no better wired devices out there, I might as well get Bluetooth because call quality is more important to me than music quality which my Marshall Minor does just fine.
I'm looking for a $100 max wired in-hear headset with mike and very complete remote too. It seems Android is not very friendly with those at all, so I'm thinking I'll have to go Bluetooth. What I found:
- http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html, if their software works on Note (untested)
- a-JAYS One+, coming in Dec.: http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html (uses software too)
- Sennheiser just confirmed they have nothing wired.
- Klipsch: Image S4A http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones being adapted for S2, Note = S2 ?
- Samsung: told me to go f... (...ind a solution by) myself
Soft: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset , and others, look for "headset control". This one has a trial version, yeahhhh ^^
EDIT: I'm putting everything worthwhile I find in this post, so as not to spread it all over the place.

does the Gnote able to accept the standard wired headphones w/mic from other brands for example: UE? i am on galaxy S and i have been searching for headphone w/mic to replace the original ones from samsung but as usual when i connect other brands of headphone w/mic to my S; all i can hear is the music.. whenever i am making calls the headphone fails me...

Any chance you can take a picture with the headset on? I want to see how it looks on and have an idea on how much it sticks out. I cannot find a pic or review anywhere for this headset.

I'll try and sort one out later today.
Hi,
Nice place you got there. Into my story; I had an iPhone 4s over one year but switched to Note 2 once it came out as I wanted more freedom and the Android interested me as I would like to call my self a computer tech.
The issue is, from day one the sound was very low, even when full or increased in call. I rooted the phone and increased the volume even more. The thing is, its not clear enough. No matter on what level I put the sound on its not as clear as on my iPhone. At first I asked around to see if my phone has defects but many people across the web complain about the same thing.
Now I would like to have you opinion about this and if anything can be done about it.
Thank you for reading my first post and it will defiantly wont be my last as I have other questions and all.

Sound quality on the note is very similar to iPhone hardware wise. Android has some bugs in terms of sound drivers and a hiss problem.
What you can do to improve the sound quality and allow you to play around with some of the dac options is:
1. Install perseus kernel
2. Purchase neutron player from the market.
3. Install headphones amp for free from the market
The kernel will allow low level access to the Wolfson dac and come with some tweaking options in stwaeks (installed with the kernel)
Neutron has it's own sound system and will avoid the android bugs in that terms. It has many options and you should explore and fiddle with it for a while.
The headphones amp app is a good company for the kernel as it hacks the volume button and allows for dac amplification instead of digitally increasing the volume, thus get a better sound.
With good headphones you should get very good results.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.
So from what I understand is that if I install perseus kernel, the sound should get better. Will looking into it.
My main problem is getting a good sound through the phone's speaker at the moment as I don't use headphones much.
HMM low sound ? probably u have defect note 2
my N2 sounds great without any problem
Hello, I am very much kind of headphone lover guy.
Recently, I bought Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 32Ohm (32Ohm version for portable users).
But the sound is not coming to its best. I plugged the same headphone to iPhone and it's working awesome. iPhone quality is same as it work on macbook and PC.
So, I was worried, is my headphone supportable on my Nexus 5 or I just have to invest in buying mp3 player.
I will provide link, where you all cann see the specifications and tell if that is supported on this device or not, because I am not that much of technical guy.

I have rooted my phone and is currently running on ElementX kernel and Chroma ROM.
Hope you guys can help me.
Thank you.
Is it quality that's bad or volume level? Or a bit of both?

More of a volume. The quality is good.
Try this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n5rvb.nexus5realvolumebooster
Also i always use poweramp with the preset set on rock. Always find it the best sounding

Install any kernel management app, like kernel adiutor, and in sound menu raise headphone gain.
So I just did what you said. I already have paid version poweramp and installed volume booster, set it to 19 and 95 for headphone and speaker. Set my present to rock, but I was just little curious, are you also facing a little distortion in the sound or just me? Because I think, I can listen the distortion, maybe because these are kind of Audiophile headphones, so they are giving deep detail of every sound.
As far the volume matters, its 2.00AM, so very much silence environment but I can definitely feel the volume is increased.
How much did I set the headphone gain too?
I already installed the volume booster app, should I also gain on this app too?
Try these!!!!!
These are the "loudest" and best in-ear buds you can get!!!! http://amzn.com/B00WI79EK0 They are Zorloo "Z:ero". Forget about booster apps, eq apps, etc... This thing has a inline "DAC" it plugs into the "USB" port and not the 3.5mm jack. Read up on it!!! I have wasted money on many in the ear, over the ear, everything under the sun to get the best sound and these are my latest find. (Thanks to an article about the Nokia 808 and how people are pimping them out). I cant say enough how LOUD!!!!!!!!!! they are.
YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
I think they are lurking under the radar because its not a "Brand" name like Shure, Whitestone, or any of the "high" end stuff people are used to paying 100's of dollars for. But the technology using "DAC" has been around and if your looking for something to drive your "over the ear" stuff maybe a usb cable micro to mini adapter and then a USB DAC Stick might work for you... I am sure you can also try to "hack" the "Z:ero" by cutting off the "ear buds" and then going to the local "radio shack" and getting a 3.5mm stereo input jack and soldering the four wires to it and you just made yourself a custom low cost "DAC"...
Just a quick review I google...

Install viper for android. It helps with the sound processing on the N5 immensely.
I was going to say something about the impedance, but my headphones are a higher impedance than that 35ohm, and I'm pleased with the quality and volume. I know you are not looking for just volume, you are looking for volume and quality. Something I found in the past with some of the Android EQ settings (didn't matter which app) some of the settings like bass boost, would actually lower the volume coming to my headset.
A good set of headphones shouldn't have to have any EQ settings changed at all, leaving it on flat should be the best, and for preference, you can always use flat as a reference.
Every headphones is different from others: if you want a boost in volume/quality, you should try an amplifier like FiiO E6 (http://www.amazon.it/FiiO-E6-Amplif...6?ie=UTF8&qid=1439893840&sr=8-6&keywords=fiio )
32 ohm is a bit high for a smartphone, so there is a possibility that Nexus can't handle that well.
I have a pair of 32 ohm dt770 as well as 32ohm mmx300 Beyerdynamic. They both work fine.
They definitely shine with a good headphone amp, but if you're running without one straight to a phone or laptop, definitely get 32 ohm. It's the lowest they make for mobile type uses.
OK so I got the phone the other day and YES YES YES once again we have a winner
BUT
Headphones!!! Samsung have for some reason they have placed a VER POOR set of headphones from AKG.
I was excited to put them in when I got home but that excitement didn't last. The sound is tinny with no real deep sound to it. Even 2016 S6 Edge headphones were much better.
WHY o WHY o WHY can't someone in testing/development really sit and listen to audio before approving them?

i use the cheap as chips betron headphones. the bass blows u away!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Betron-Ear...ie=UTF8&qid=1492878232&sr=1-6&keywords=betron
they put out plenty of bass with an eq. also, dont forget headphones need to burn in for 100-150 hours.
Is this a troll post?
Miles better than any set of headphones Samsung have ever included. Check the EQ settings in the menu.

headphones just like any speaker have a break in period. Most people fail to realize this and judge a speaker immediately for sound. Best thing I've found to do if you want to break them in quickly is anytime you are not using the headphones, plug them into an ipod, computer, etc. and play a bunch of music on repeat so it hits highs and lows and leave them playing. Easy to get 12-15 hours a day of constant use if you don't use them much, or if you use them even more. Leave them run all night in another room, etc.
Edit: These headphones remind me a lot of the Shure studio style headphones. They have a very neutral sound that needs an EQ adjustment to bring it to your tastes (referred to as colorless sound.) I might feel different after break in but this is what they remind me of for now.
Most people are used to stuff like beats, Bose, etc. that heavily color the sound in their own way. Sometimes to the point an EQ can't fix it.

Totally agree!!!! How can you complain about a better product you use to getting

I Think the headphones are great. Not sure start you are listening to but you might need to mess with your eq or get your hearing checked.
Supposedly they are not AKG headphone but Samsung headphones tuned by AKG.
Can't really complain about something we received for free -> especially when that "something" is much better than what we are used to receiving with a new phone.
Headphones, like many things, are user specific - we ALL won't like the same type of headphones since there are so many other criteria that goes into what makes a pleasurable listening experience for the average user -> genre of music, ear type, source quality etc...
If sound is that important to you, invest in a nice pair of headphones -> you won't regret it.
I was immediately impressed. OP, do you know what depth is? That was the first thing I noticed and I'm only a beginner audiophile at best. Actually more depth and range than my BT Beats. Heard sounds in songs I hadn't heard before, maybe even the whinny of a unicorn.

audiophile and beats do not belong in the same paragraph or sentence ever...LOL
I like the headphones... sounds good
Not better than my SoundMagic E10's.
I took these on a journey to wembley yesterday...
At first I was amazed. Then after a little tuning and when I got them just right, they sound phenomenal
Sounds great in my S8+ and in my Lenovo laptop...
In fact they are the only ones I use right now.

Poweramp EQL
I found that BUNDLED AKG are better in mids and highs than Momentum IEM but lacking in bass. Tried with exynox 955f.
So when you buy a phone all you really care about are the headphones? So your paying 800+$ for headphones? Why don't you just save yourself some money and BUY some good headphones? Now that said I tried them and you are correct they don't have a ton of bass but I thought the clarity and sound was VERY good. If I want the bass I will through on some Beats. Also after I changed the size of the ear plug things so they were tighter the bass was a little better.
