How to improve audio with headphones?

[woody1]

I've got a good set of headphones, but I notice that the audio quality using the headphone jack is very bad. Does anybody know of a way to improve the audio quality? My tablet is rooted, if that matters.

Ye

I experience the same thing. The bass sounds very bad.

Do you know the socket type on you tablet as if you are using a 3 section plug on a 4 section socket it can force mono only play-back.

I contacted Huawei about this and their advice of earphones were the 3.5 mm made up of 4 connections.

I am not well versed on the matter but I have had no problems and excellent stereo reproduction following the tablet manufacturers advice.

I find the sound very acceptable, now that I've turned off the SWS mode. It can't power my Sennheiser HD600s as well as my HTC 10 but it's fine with my HD25s, much better than my previous Sony Z3 Tablet Compact.
The sound is warmer and less analytical than on the HTC but I've got used to it and enjoy it over long listening sessions.
However, an update could probably squeeze much better performance from the AKM chip, which appears to have potential.

What's the SWS mode?

SWS - Super Wide Sound technology developed by Harman Kardon. On speakers it's okayish, on headphones it's trash. Disable it.

SWS was already turned off on my tablet, so I don't think that's the problem.

My tablet turns it back on automatically after some period of time. Try switching SWS on and back off.
That said, I'm not too impressed by the headphone performance. The sound lacks clarity at any volume. The tablet is great media consumption device overall, but I never listen to music with headphones on it.

Hello, just wanted to say that I experience the same issue with me Mediapad M2.
The sound through headphones sounds very dull and is extremely bad. I tried the same headphones on an iPhone 7, an old Android Phone (Galaxy S2) and a cheap tablet (Alcatel) and have no problems with those devices.

But my 350€ Premium Tablet can't produce good sound apparently.
Tried turning off SWS-Mode => No improvement.

For what it's worth, I find the headphone output on the M3 to be very good but yes, SWS seems to be re-enabling itself and not being reflected in the settings app. A little bit annoying. I don't think I noticed it doing that until I upgraded to Nougat.

Mediapad's own headphone works very well, and my aging Sennheiser phones work very well too, with good basses. The tablet's own speakers are superior, anyway. And leaving in landscape mode improve the stereo effect, by using each speaker for each side.
