Dude there are so may of them, which are unknown to most of us, and produce much better sound than the celebrity models u mentioned, check out internet reviews from audiophiles around the world, there are forums out there.. search top in-ear headsets or so.. u will get it. But the thing is... is our android device worth for an accessory like these top headsets which is not even capable for driving the diaphragm halfway!!!!

[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
About portable players u mentioned as long as they play mp3 format its not that top quality which will be not much diffrence from using phone to listen to music even if quality lil more cuz of hardware quality lossless format is the best with no any doubt.

so u think the note 2 can fit my pocket and my life without regretting one day of choosing that phablet over normal smartphone's size even its bigger than note 1.

About headphones i know skull candy just a looking good headphone and thats why i didnt mention it but i used my cousin's beats by dre studio and honestly it sound awesome and my other cousin own fany wang and it sound not bad as well but beats more better to my ears but still i need the better and better as in terms of audio although as the other dude mentioned that there are other companies not known and produce good headphones but i am against with him cuz i dont want to buy a headphone that thier company can close anytime and the warranty just be useless plus when u tell someone u own denon or beats or Sennheiser or beats or fanny wang or bose and someone ask u about its model as u did indigotheory and u tell him i own that known model still give it better impression than i tell u i own jdhdjhhs headphone and u will be like WTF is that evwn mean... LOL but still if it comes to brand/model ro quality i would choose best quality of one of the known brands around. :) and yea my bose is decent solo headphones not the best but they decent and sound alright :) . Just wondering why ppl hate on celebrity headphones if it deliver high quality and good brand and put in mind that i said if it deliver good quality that deserve its money. Why ppl get bad impression on every brand that is well known or do an advertisments even with celebrities? eh, idk but dont get me wrong or get mad but it was just a question that popped my mind

still waiting more suggestions which headphone u and other audiophiles on the forums will go with and buy? I dont care how much its expensive if it will give me a good quality of sound as good as i will pay but still not going with an unknown brand like fudhshdj.

By the way i didnt get what showlyshah meant by: But the thing is... is our android device worth for an accessory like these top headsets which is not even capable for driving the diaphragm halfway!!!!

??? If u got any idea or anyone else do please make it clear for me?!

[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Understood. Especially with these 2 year contracts. Have you had a play with one in store? Carphone warehouse staff are very helpful :)

I dont understand 3/4s of your last post. I also havent a clue what the other guy was trying to say either. So at the minute I have not much to answer to. Re read back and you will find your questions have all been answered. If there's anything else then yeah im happy to chip in.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Honestly, I didnt try a note 2 yet in a store but i will today or tommorow or after before buying it and this will probably will make me choose between htc one x+ or samsung note 2.

I am sorry for asking much but my 2 questions i need answer for simply are:

1- u think note 2 can fit my daily life without regreting buying it cause of its size?

2- what are the best headphone's brand u suggest me to buy even if its celebrity brand or expensive cuz all i care about is quality of material and quality of sound and still not an unknown brand to people even if known a lil, any idea bro?

An Audiophile question: by the way, what are genres u into mostly? What are the artists you like to listen to if u into any electronica genres?

[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Btw what is the version of ur note 2 (US, International etc..) cuz i dont live in US or Canada or even europe so i guess it will be international version and what i am so curious about is "does thw international version is wolfson dac?" cuz its what i will mainly buy note 2 for as i mentioned before :)

and still waiting your replies about your favourite genre, artist and song bro :cool:

Bro, did u forget about me? :(
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Exynos processor = Wolfson DAC. The North American Galaxy S3 (US and Canada) has a Snapdragon S4, so no Wolfson DAC. But starting with the Note 2, all Note 2's have an Exynos processor (and Wolfson DAC).

OH! By the way, Does i have to use the s-pen all the time or i can use my fingers too as normal touch screen smartphones nowadays?? And does it support gestures with multi-fingers/multi-touch?

[General Questions and Answers] TheDroidKid:
Yeah I agree, if your looking for audio hardware (I don't mean how loud your speaker is) then the HTC with beats is your best bet, it will have a much better sound.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Omg now i am more confused... Some ppl say htc better and others say wolfson dac with note 2 better, i really dont know what to do :/

(Note: please someone answer me about note 2 question i asked before, Thanks)

Really guys need a critical conclusion/desicion which phone got better audio hardware htc (specially "one x+" cuz if i will buy a htc it should be the latest or best in market as i will keep it for atleast a year until i change it again)or samsung note 2???
[General Questions and Answers] stonew5082:
BEATS is a audio processing software, not a physical componant. Plus if you are rooted you can put it on any phone. Wolfson specializes in audio chips, its what they do. So get a phone with wolfson chip in it and you can try beats software (i'm personally not a fan of beats) or use poweramp or other enhancing software.

Basically lets not confuse a hardware discussion by talking about software.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Thanks everyone for the help/replies alot :) & will update you with what will happen when i buy the new phone which i have chosen after much researching and asking through most well known smartphones forums all over the internet about finding the best android smartphone with best audio hardware quality and sound quality and still not losing alot of best new features technology offer in a smartphone's nowadays :D.

So get tuned! for my next post which will reveal my choice, If you are a true & real audiophile like me and searching for same specifications and needs for buying new smartphone of the latest ones came in the market nowadays. :)

[General Questions and Answers] sonnt1223:
should choose HTC OneX with Beats solo
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Please stop suggesting "Beats". Beats is just a SOFTWARE equalizer. In fact, if you flashed the Beats Audio Mod to the Galaxy S3 or Note 2, it would sound even better than on the One X (which by the way, Tegra 3 has the worst sounding DAC). Beats is a marketing gimmick. It's not even hardware in the phone. It's just an equalizer with an icon in the notification bar. If you bought an HTC device for Beats Audio, I'm sorry, but that was a dumb move.

You can't compare the Wolfson DAC to the Tegra 3.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
i guess your right. I am an audiophile and would have bought beats if it was hardware with or without eq software or even if they were the ones after placing the hardware and its manufacture quality, under thier control and tested & certified by them but just an eq software, nah... Not what i am after. So i guess imma go with wolfson quality dac which been into manufacturing audio for ages and got experience and skills in audio and hardware dac's :)

Get tuned! people for my next post which will be after choosing & buying the smartphone.

still Waiting indigotheory reply on his favourite song, artist & genre.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Audiophile for me is as it means audio = audio and phile = lover/adoring. Thats what it means for me simply

An audiophile is not easy for me, honestly and hate people who call them audiophiles and they are not. I am real one and if i wasnt i wouldnt be searching for audio quality that intensive in asking in several forums and researching and reading over the internet and watching youtube videos for a week just to choose a smartphone for best audio hardware and quality. If its easy for u or want to make it easy by calling anyone an audiophile then its all urs but for me i dont call anyone an audiophile cuz its not... Also never said just who listen to certain genre is an audiophile, noo. anyone who really care of every bit of audio that he listen to, not just phones or mp3 players.. Nah but everything else he listen with It to music at home at work at school, university, car and everywhere .

come on I'm not defending beats audio but actually i am not against them too but i guess they would be great if they were really caring about audio quality they deliver in the devices they support for thier customers. (tried beats studio of my cousin they not bad tho for my taste, honestly) Plus i had my bose solo as i couldnt offer more before but as i mentioned after buying the phone i am after buying a couple of serious great headphones. I didnt say my bose are best ever but i remember i mentioned just the word "decent" instead as decent headphone.

I am into electronica from trance to dubstep and i dont mind either to chit chat about artists, genres and songs too in new thread.

I am sorry about asking questions several times but i wanted to be sure as i mentioned i wont change this phone until a year atleast so i had to choose well and that's why when some suggested htcs i was like "guys are you sure about samsung?".

I dont have that much time as it looks like. Infact i got final exams these days every couple of days i got one as i am in faculty of "PHARMACY" which means much of labs, tests and exams but as i mentioned audio for me is so important thing and need the best of devices around me to deliver best music and sound quality nowadays can offer.

Anyways thanks for your much help and your replies, maxwel1

For real & true audiophiles still get tuned! I will tell what i have chosen of android smartphones in terms of best audio quality they can offer nowadays :D

peace :)
[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Since you started this thread I was under the impression that you dont know what your taking about. And this reply to what i took the time out to post has just confirmed just that, and more fool me and others who have chipped in for trying to inform you with well thought out posts.

Whatever you choose you wont be happy with anyway, so you mayaswell go for a trusty Nokia 3210 from ebay for a tenner, makes a call, sends a text and the battery lasts a week, sorted!
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Eh idk what ur mad about. Idk but sounds you are although i said nothing wrong. Sorry if i did but i didnt really ment to if you think so or if i even did.

Please dont be sad bro cuz i really didnt mean to annoy you or bother

i edited my previous post so read it again

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Nah its cool man I aint mad, its just im not sure what your actually looking for here. Pretty much everything has been said yet you still seem to ask either questions that are off topic to someones reply or you still seem a bit taken in by this beats audio fad despite mine and other peoples informed replies that attempt to aid your decision in what you set out to find when you created this thread.

And im still pretty skeptical of what you say, as mentioned these "bose solo" headphones dont even exist and so far you aint mentioned a thing in response. And yet you still brand yourself an "audiophile"

Feel free to start another general music thread and we can talk some tunes and good music etc. And maybe we can swap some personal recommendations etc

Other than that im through with this thread, you aint the "audiophile" you claim to be, you just think too much and you like the idea of all this stuff but when it comes down to it you really seem to have no idea!

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
About beats audio for devices i do trust u that they just software of eq with htc and my thoughts before and wished if they were really involved in manufacturing of hardware too and placement of it and thier circuts in addition of testing it as they wrote on beats.com website but i knew and trust u and other people revealed for me the truth :) thanks but for beats studio headphones i guess they dont sound that bad for my taste.

How bose dont even exist? I got bose solo headphones but i dont remember the model. Idk if u dont know bose but it exist

You will be impressed of my choice of smartphone that i will buy but will tell when i buy it so get tuned! :)

About music thread, i am afraid about creating new one about music and admins can ban me ir us as i guess this site/forum created to talk about smartphones mainly/only :X

[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Yep its a crying shame the whole beat malarkey is just a bass heavy eq, and of course ive heard of bose, its also a shame they dont seem to make the "bose solo" headphones you claim to have.

And yeah man im sure the world and their daughter and the "audiophile" community you live in is eagerly anticipating your choice of mobile phone. If anything its only going to make you post more threads asking the same stuff that's been asked a million and one times before. You will get an android phone and will want to root it and install a custom rom and then your going to be looking for all these mods and tweaks to suit your beats bose solo hd "audiophile" needs. Thats more time and effort waisted on your behalf asking other people in other threads whats already been answered in this thread......

And xda have a general off topic thread for everything else or maybe you could start one over on an "audiophile" forum? Theres plenty of them :)
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Ahhh , you think its called "bose solo"? Nah man i mean solo type. Like there are several earphone's types example: in-ear phones and earpods. Same for headphones: there are solo and studio and much more and dats what meant by solo XD not model called solo.
[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Again, this post confirmed you really have no idea what your actually talking about!

"Solo type" what exactly? They are just names that have originated from the beats branding. Still from the first post you havent actually said what headphones you currently have.

Usually headphones have a make and model number, or its been that way since beyerdynamic made their first flagship in the 1930s.......

[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
i thought it is called solo but i am not an english dude so thats why i didnt know the name in english but that dont mean i am not an audiophile... But if you think i am then its yours, man. But i am more into sound and music and everything is related as much as you can imagine or even more than how it seems in that thread. If i mistaken that solo is a type its cuz i am from diffrent culture with different native language and dont worry no one is born knowing everything around we all learn everyday and until we die we will learn of new stuff about music and even other fields. No field got an end of knowledge.

Thanks in advance,

[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
Lost in translation? However amazons product descriptions are pretty universal and you still havent given a model number of the apparent bose headphones you apparently have.

Im wasting my time here inputting the knowledge and real world experience ive had so far with my Note 2.

Ive actually spent the day in a pub catching up with an old friend and he commented how good the sound was from my phone and that was only through his standard issue apple headphones. To quote "deep rich bass, nice transparent mids and exciting treble" real slick for music from a damn phone. Hes also a dj who spins records or cds or uses albeton live or whatever else he uses to make a living.

So for the second time I wish you all the best in your "audiophile" hunt. Whichever phone you do go for make sure you do your research if you want to root and install a custom rom and mods etc to avoid the off topic irrelivant train wreck this thread has become and to also avoid posting the same questions that have been answered a million times before like this thread. Good day im out of here.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Unfortunatly, i didnt buy mine from amazon.com. Thanks for your time and sorry if you think your wasting it by replying my questions.

About repeating questions. I have already told the reason about why i repeat them.

I know you still dont think that i am real and true audiophile but i cant proof as long as you dont want to or know me well

Offtopic: I have been told that apple is best smartphone for audio and read an article about that (the link is on first page of this thread) but i wanted an android phone as i have ipod touch 4g already.
[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:
No worries man, all the best in your hunt.
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
Ty ty alot :).

Briefly, What i got so far is that no any smartphone sound that good as i expected before researching and asking in forums, whether its ios or android or windows or even java based phone or any brand out there. but music players sound better as they focus on sound quality more than smartphones but still they wont give the best but i mentioned before that my hunt was after best android smartphone gives best sound quality and still have best features available nowadays after apple products as i have ipod touch 4g and honestly i am bored of ios and its not as flexible as android beside i love app store of ios more as there are plenty of apps of every app you will ever think of or need more than play market.

But actually by researching and asking in some forums like xda-developers with help of indigotheory and Product F(RED) and many others here and other forums (thanks alot to them for giving the info and experience of what they have). I have found my choice of the phone i have been searching for :D

Get tuned! For my next post cuz you really will be impressed, i guarantee that :)

[General Questions and Answers] Magnector:
I understand your need, but it doesn't look easy until you try yourself at the store for comparisons.

For phone makers, audio sound is not priority and thus, they use low quality magnet just to make sound clear.

For this reason, I have prejuice that there should be no big difference among phones.

Sorry it is not tested result, but just wanted to tell you the phone manufacture's perspective. :(
[General Questions and Answers] maxwel1:
not true samsung do care about sound and audio hardware cuz wolfson is experienced company been doing dacs for years. guaranteed.

In conclusion:

not all manufactured phones got low sound quality. trust me guys wolfson dac really is great. i promise it does but samsung limit the dac with limiting volume and other settings so u should root it and get stweaks for best result you can get from wolfson dac.

that does not mean its best sound you can listen to. no i dont mean that cuz NO PORTABLE DEVICE GIVE THAT MUCH GREAT SOUND QUALITY but wolfson dac sound best out of all other ANDROID smartphones and equal or somehow better than apple devices with circus logic dacs or whatever they call it like one in my ipod touch 4th generation

Tell me congratulations, everyone xD. took the right step ever and bought the.......

NOTE 2

​

really best choice for an android smartphone for any audiophile especially if rooted and got stweaks on it :)

Thanks for help everyone :)

I think Galaxy S3 has the best audio and performance out there.
[General Questions and Answers] indigotheory:


You madman! Everyone knows the Note 2 rubbish. Should have got a Sony Ericsson or a phone with Beats audio!

Only joking man, you seriously wont be disappointed with the Note 2, best mobile device ive ever had the pleasure and joy of owning. Every day is a new day with it, and always learning something new about it and its getting some great support on these forums.

Now the hunt for some decent headphones!...

You rooted yet? :)
[General Questions and Answers] djfirestorm:
The guy was right for a good portion to store level products, I didnt read much further than this post, but up until it, 99% of what people were saying were slightly inexperienced and talked about stuff they read. Specs of an audio processor does not make it "Sound Good" and neither does the brand, to which you were right about. I Agree with you most of the way...I am not a Sony fan, I hate the company rather, but they do have one of the nicest audio processors out there (without stepping into audiophile of course) that falls in a good price range. Of course their is much better...but like you said...on a phone??? My suggestion is probably a Xperia for sound. Dont buy into Beats, what a gimmick and joke. I work in studio production and am opinionated to my hearing preference, but Beats are literally the WORST at accurate sound reproduction, and for the G mans sake, they dont even sound good...wtf are people so crazy over them!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't spend a lot of money on earphones for a phone, $100 or less, any more pure waste. Sony EX350 earbuds are good but richer on the base, Klipsch S4 more balanced base but can sound a little sharp on some music, other than that for earbuds, I never cared for much else, if you want over hear or larger format, Techniques DJ Pro 1200 (old style) are one of the best and most accurate headphones in the $100 price range (they use to cost $250 but since they dont make them anymore they are cheap) B&H Photo sells them still, other than that, someone mentioned AKG's, I have not personally heard them but a friend that does some of his own music recording likes them.
