N81 Sound Quality (Earphones)

I have being doing some test with the N81. Here are my findings;
- N81 sound output via headset is low even if max volume n full equaliser settings are set with also stereo wideing on/off & loudness.
- I tried different earphones in the N81 such as n91 earphones still sound quality low, & Sony ericsson W810i earphones sound quality abit loud due to bass in the earphones.
Is this a pure joke by Nokia or something? N95/N81/N81 8GB/N95 8GB/N76 have 3.5mm Audio Jack but the sound quality is pathetic with standard earphones.
However my Sony Ericsson K550i beats sound quality of the N81 even with its standard earphones.

So dont waste ur money on devices like dat which cant even perform good sound. For music go for either N91 or Sony Ericsson walkman phones.

TECRA A11 - low sound quality earphone to AUX

Tecra A11 provides *low sound quality* (iTunes) connecting with my hifi system *via earphone out to AUX* in. An Apple MacBook connected in the same way does much better. Any idea how could enhance the quality? Thanks in advance!

Hmmmmm...... have you tried to change sound settings, player equaliser?
Open control panel and check if there is Realtek sound manager (Realtek soundcard) and play a little bit with sound effects settings.

You should first decide which features are the most important to you. If you listen to music a lot, then the E90 shouldn't even be on your list
That 2.5 mm connector is not for listening to music dedicately.

N81 8GB sound quality

Hi,
While the mp3 player sound quality is great on my new phone, all the other sounds (ringtones, sms alerts etc.) have really low quality. They make this irritating click at the end every time they are activated and you can hear a hissing noise as they play. Is this normal?
It seems to me like the hardware and software depts. at Nokia are not too friendly these days. My phone came with a broken hands free and a back cover that's loose and creaks when using the phone . The OS is the only thing that has been polished to (near) perfection...

my n95 8gb has better sound quality and loudness than n95 so i would assume it is either the same as n81 or better as it is the higher spec multimedia phone. But it can depend on the headphones being used and also the individuals hearing.
Every place i looked everyone said that the N81 performs better than the N95 8GB sound quality-wise in every aspects.

And i too think that N81 is not the music flagship by the way, it's N91 8GB. Nokia emphasises the ngage capability of the N81 (and they mean it), while N91 is entirely music.Message Edited by riot on 05-Nov-200701:53 PM

Shuffle 2nd Gen won't connect, awful sound quality,

Hi
I just tried to connect my ipod to my pc, the light flashed for three times, then it stopped. it was still charging, since it was getting hot, but it didn't show up in itunes or windows taskbar. I tried with different PCs and USB ports.
i tried to listen to it after that, but the sound quality became awful, like an FM station 200 miles away in a hilly area, and I can only listen to the right earphone, the left one was mute.
Is it possible fix it?
Thanks

If you have other Apple devices, connect ONLY the shuffle, with iTunes running.
If it's the only Apple device connected, and the shuffle is really not being recognized by iTunes, the heading DEVICES should not be in the iTunes sidebar at all (since iTunes sees no devices connected). If you DO see DEVICES in the sidebar (with nothing listed below), the list of devices may be hidden. When you move your mouse pointer over DEVICES in the sidebar, you should see a Show or Hide "toggle" to the right. If that says Show, click it to show the list of devices.
If that does not help, since your shuffle is 2nd gen and you use a Mac, you can try running the iPod Reset Utility

Sound quality options..........

Before my Iphone 4s, my music device was a sony walkman and I really miss its sensational sound quality mainly because i could manually set it. Everyone was impressed by it, even other iphone users. Earphones were the apple earpods. Now why isn`t that option available in Apple devices?

Bill,
All songs sold in the iTunes Store are in AAC/256, with no other options.
There are other online music download stores that sell tracks in MP3/320, lossless, or hi-def (better than CD quality, a/k/a "studio quality"). None of them has the full selection that you find at the iTunes Store or Amazon MP3, but they certainly have a lot of stuff. Examples are beatport.com, hdtracks.com, theclassicalshop.net, livedownloads.com, and many others.

Which ipod I should buy? - sound quality

I have bought ipod photo to replace my ipod 3G 15GB, i feel disappointed about ipod photo. It seems that it is quieter than my old ipod, and if I turn the volume to be louder, the sound seems distorted. Also, the detail of music sounds worse than before too.
So I am looking for ipod mini or ipod shuffle. I only consider sound quality, which one should I buy?
Espeically those with one or more ipod, please come to share your point of view. I know different ipod sounds a little bit different. So I wanna know how do they differ?

Well Ipod Mini And Ipod Shuffle have the same apple earphones but if your looking for a better device go with mini.. this is goanna cost you more but the shuffle is cheaper and it also has great sound but i suggest the mini it has a screen and holds more songs

IPod classic poor sound quality

Hi,
I have a three year old iPod classic, and have noticed over the last month an issue with the sound. The sound quality is extremely poor and static sounding, like an am radio station whenever I use ANY setting on the equalizer. When the equalizer is set to off, the sound is normal again. This happens both with earphones and a dock with speakers.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

Sound Quality from usb connector bad

serial connection/usb connection does not give good sound quality although connections through headphone jack is perfect. How can this be fixed?

Am i understanding your problem correctly, it sounds (haha! No pun intended!) like the earphones are not able to handle the highs & lows of these songs and basically you're overloading them causing the crackling noise.
Are you using the earphones/buds that came with your iPod? If so, that could be why the song sounds good on your external speakers, but not through your earbuds.
Hope that helps

IPod touch sound quality terrible

iPod touch sound quality terrible

Try another set of earphones to rule out the earphones as being the cause.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

N82 vs N97. Sound quality

Hi all.
I want to tell me, which one phone has better sound quality? Is (the sound quality) the same between these two phones (n97 and n82)?
If you want to thank someone, just click on the blue star at the bottom of their post

Psycho is a very knowledgeable person, but since audio quality is kind of a subjective measure I suggest you try them out for yourself.
I tend to agree with Psycho's comment but it's always good to test the devices using your music and your headphones (or the speakers) so that you know what you're getting. You may disagree with our assessment.
After all I've had people swear that the N95 has good or better audio quality than the N91 or N81... which I'm pretty convinced is not the case but to each its own.
As far as I know the N82 shares the internal audio system with the N95 and the N97 has a different audio system which in theory should be better, but I can't say for sure. I find the volume of the N97 to be very low although the speakers are good. Not as loud as the N81 though. I don't have the N82 so I can't really compare them anymore.
The problem with the N82/N85/N78/N95 and others is that it has some hiss in the background, this is not noticed by some people, but if you hear the sound of this devices and then hear an N81 or N91 you will notice the difference.

Poor 6G sound quality

I had my original nano replaced under warranty with what appears to be a refurbished model. The replacement however has obvious sound quality issues where music sounds muddy, and EQ adjustments don't really help. I've tried a multitude of earphones but none seems to help. Too late to take the device back. What is the problem? What are my options?

Try to convert the music format.... iTunes can do that for you. You choose the converting you want (ei. AAC 128kbps or better)..... the higher the bitrate is, the more memory it consumes.....
