even the design of the speaker is disappointment

do remember

+1

To really appreciate the sound quality, use high quality audio files and good headphone.

I use my 5800 as main device (with N97 audio driver), connected to my custom monitor and TMA-1.

No need high end u just try with mylarone crossroads X3i can tell the huge difference on ipod nano or ipod touch vs 5800XM.

Its like downgrade le weak bass and weak treble the song sound very shallow

I think someone is requesting before for the ONLY camera mute mods.... here it is, enjoy...

Different in audio quality probably due to new TPA6140 in N8 as older S60v5 devices (5800, N97, X6, etc) using TPA6130.

Bitrate does miracles yeah?

Im kinda free right now cos my wife and son slept liao so I got a little bored and went with HTC Legend vs N8 vs Sound Blaster Digital Music (it has 24bit DAC + LME49720 opamp mod). Im using a GoVibe6 and Crossroad Mylar1B (which is a heavier on bass, but not so compared to N8 stock headset).

Let me just start first on the stock headphone. I think N8 has trouble driving them at the loudest. When I plug in my headamp, it was better, slightly. I almost get no sound at all when plugged into my HTC Legend which says it all about how hard it is to drive them. The stock headset also seem pretty lacking on the higher end frequency which makes it sound a bit dull.

I think the main problem with N8 is soundstage. Definitely lacking or even not there. The sound just plays into your head. Fatigue and annoying over a longer period if you like them loud. The sound from my modded Digital Music and HTC Legend is definitely better in this aspect.

If you can get a headamp with the right opamp to create the soundstage, it might just turn the table around. Govibe6 cant expand N8 soundstage by much and still feel slightly annoying.

To make headphone enjoyable, soundstage is important. It can be fatigue to listen to for long period of time. If you had a Philips HP890/895, maybe you can give it a try. Should be quite enjoyable since it has this wide soundstage experience. However, the bass might be hard to tolerate since HP890 tend to have loosy bass and the N8 in its stock form also has loosy bass which is normal for handset headphone out.

Ah... before I forgot, you might want to try KSC-75 (did i get the model correct?)... I think open air headphone should be slightly better for N8 than in-ear headphone. I have one but the stock padding is gone.

Update : Tried KSC75 and confirm its much better than in-ears. Too bad I sold my HP890 to my cousin long time ago and he totally destroyed it already.

no wonder i got a bit headache after around 30 mins listening to my N8 at 3 bars below max volume......tht doesn't happen or it takes longer to happen with my previous 3GS

n8 don have image stabilizer right?

and

for users using matte SP on n8.... anyone got huge "light spectrum" (i would rather say noises) cause by SP? because when i bought n8 i also straight bought SP form the shopkeeper then go back notice damn many "noises" cause by SP... thinking get another matte sp but scare the SP will did same thing so ask first then decide wanna get matte or clear type.

I get certificate error popup message. Tried changing date and also off "signed app" setting. Still the same.

kawan... u need to SIGN with your own cert before can use... it's an un-sign mods...

Nowadays camera phone only with digital stabilizer so even with those so called stabilizer it will produce poor quality image if ur hand shake.i was hoping n8 come with optical stabilizer but end up my dream gone.

maybe soon will got that 1..

another weird case spotted!n8 doesnt have extended digital zoom!!N95 oso got..how come n8 dun have?

what is mean by extended digital zoom?

maybe nokia focused too much on other factors until they left tht out

i think its excusable...digital zoom isn't tht nice anyway

Hope new coming,available in white and firm more stable
