I just realised that we have a freaking barometer inside the phone.

Seriously Samsung?

Barometers are very useful, especially in GPS. biggrin.gif

They've had it since the GNex.

the stock earphones is good.. but no where near perfect.. far from perfect.. doh.gif

no separate of sound, everything mixed up like ppl pouring rojak into your ears instead of singing to your ears.

just want to clarify, it's good, but far from perfect..

and to reply HafisUn, try brands from Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Koss, Shure.

if on budget, can try lower end Audio Technica or Sound Magic.

It's too bright and the trebles are too high for me. I so love the in-line controls but it gives me a headache. sad.gif

But this is the best one bundled in with a Samsung thus far.

agreed.. and the sound got all so mixed up for more rich contents.. only when vocal without music then still acceptable..

no doubt it's one of the best so far..
*
Soundstage is small, even for earphones. In comparison, my lowest end Audio-Technica CKL200 would be a better job for music but still some equalizing is needed.

That Wolfson DAC is too good to be wasted on the stock earphones!

RM200 for both? hmm.. bit tight.. if u want good audio quality ones, can only go for either 1..
yea man.. cannot waste the wolfson at all!! Currently there's a minor flaw of crackling sound that requires a fix via software..
*
There was this one time Jaben had a real good promotion bundle that would fit his bill;

ATH-TAD300, Fisher Audio FA555 and Hippo pipe amp for RM219.

Minor flaw? Haven't really experienced it personally.

AT also had their promotion a few weeks back.. he missed it..

yes, crackling sound.. occasionally, not often.. i have quite sensitive ears.. tongue.gif it's acknowledged in xda and even supercurio tweeted about it.
*
Hmmm, would have to sit in my listening room for a few a hours like that to see if I can detect it. laugh.gif

Is it a widespread issue?

not sure whether it affects all units.. u just google s3 crackling then u will see some users reporting about it..
*
If it's a power management issue and the first post here is to be believed, that could be an issue with all units.

Then again, I already rooted my and underclocked the phone as well as apply additional script fixes like CPUsleep.

So, if it manifests in my unit, then I'd need to listen doubly hard. sweat.gif

Okay, not within 30 seconds of listening, I picked up that crackling. Very slight but noticeable especially when playing ballads.

Something like that. Like plastic crinkling a bit.

Use any slow paced and ballady/classical song. Works better if you have isolating ear/headphones too.

Try with earphones. Apparently that's where the problem manifests.
