[Question] Sound quality in headphones.

[gran_t]

Hello guys,

What I don't like in this phone it's sound quality in earphones. I made it little louder through Engineer menu, but the clarity of sound is not good?
What do you think about the quality of sound?
What can you suggest to make it better?

Added: I'm testing with good earphones, not with stock ones.

Try installing [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register], it's an audio processing app that gets nice results on the phones I tried it with.
You can download it [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register], this is just the xHifi part of V4A.
Unzip the file and install the apk for android 4.0-4.3.
For more detailed instructions on installation look [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register].

Things I did to get the sound I wanted:
Delete /system/lib/soundfx/libbundlewrapper.so.
Enable V4A for the headset (Duh).
Enable Audio Reconstruct with values 30 and 15 for the Hi Clarity and Lo Contour options.

Now the ideal Hi and Lo settings vary between headsets, just fiddle around a bit and listen carefully to what benefits your listening pleasure and what doesn't.
I also set the Output gain to 6.0 dB, since I like the extra power when the phone's connected to a stereo, although it quickly becomes too loud for your headphones.

You're also talking about earphones, I don't know what earphones you are using but if you use the supplied earphones you probably won't get any decent sound out of it anyways,
Note: I don't own the iNew V3 but I thinks it's a pretty safe assumption.

In the phone settings there is an audio inprovement box for headphones which you can toggle.
You can see if that helps.

MaxP101, Thank you,
There's a big difference before and after.
Now the sound is pretty good to listen songs through the radio, but still not good enough for recordings?

Is anybody else experiencing this? Am I expecting too much? I'm just comparing with my other MTK phone.
Does anybody know (or have a link) about what do SpeachEnhancement parameters from Engineer Mode do?
Thank you.

I did find a link to an explanation for most of the audio values you can alter in engineering mode

Just to be sure:
(THESE VALUES ARE FROM A THL W8, THESE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WITH OTHER DEVICES.)
