Q. I already have a Samsung Galaxy S which I use as a phone and to listen to music, for social networking, and basically everything. I've been thinking of asking for an iPod for Christmas, cause I find it annoying having headphones wrapped around my phone when I need to get it out quickly, and my phone lags when I try to listen to music and do something else. Are these points enough to get an iPod? And I still can't decide whether I want one of the new Nanos, or a 4th or 5th gen iPod touch. But is it even worth getting an iPod touch when I already have a smartphone? Or would the nano be fine?
A. Probably not.
If you already have the smartphone, you have pretty much everything an iPod can do. If you want something separate for your music, maybe even try an iPod shuffle. Only 50 bucks and if you just want it for music, it's a good buy.
Why are my Beats and Klipsch earphones better on iPhone and Laptop than my Samsung?
Q. My Beats Pros By Dr Dre and Klipsch Image S4 better on my laptop and on my dads iPhone compared to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2? I understand the Beats Pro may be designed for iPhones but in no way does my Klipsch Image S4 box say it is deigned for iPhone, as there is the S4i (which are my earphones but with a mic designed for iPhones), the S4a (same as the S4i but for Android and the S4 which has no mic? Please help!
My cousin also has the same problem, is it just Samsungs?
A. It likely has to do with the amount of power being output by the devices. Different headphones have different levels of resistance called ohms. This is called impedance. The higher the Ohms, the more electricity it takes to output sound at higher volumes and quality sound.
If you crank up the device and it still sounds bad, or is not loud enough, look into buying a FiiO E5 or E6 amp. They can be bought cheaply, the E5 for about 25 dollars, and what they do is they add extra "juice" to the audio. All you do is charge up the E5/E6 via a USB cable and use the wire it comes with to run the audio to it, and then plug the headphones into the amp.
In addition, not all audio devices are created equally. All devices with a headphone plug have a digital to analog converter (DAC), and some are better than others, not just in terms of power output, but in terms of quality.
Remember that Mp3s, WMAs, etc, are inferior to CD quality audio so for best results makes sure you get the highest bitrate you can (usually 320 Kbps for lossy audio compression). Beats and Klipsch are expensive, so you definitely want to feed them higher quality audio.
The headphone controls dont work on my galaxy s3?
Q. I recently got the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The phone itself works fine and the audio quality of the headpjones provided is of decent quality, however, the contols on the headphones wire to not work or interact with the S3.
Can someone tell me if this is a technical fault, or is there an easy way it could be fixed/any options that need to be changed?
thanks
A. This is a known fault with the software in the phone, a few things can be done to resolve this issue, but they do not always work.
1 Make sure the phone is up to date, Samsung might have released a Patch to fix this problem.
2. Plug head phones in before starting the Music App
3, Plug head phones in and restart the phone, this cause the device to re-scan services and might detect the headphones.
On a side note, Google music does not support the volume controls on the headphones, make sure you are using the standard music App, if not download winamp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nullsoft.winamp&hl=en)
If all this fails, then you might have a broken set of head phones, or the phone has a mind of its own.
Hope this help,
(i had this problem with my S3, option 3 worked for me, i only needed to do it once and then it works all the time.)
