This mobile phone is in my wish list, are Xiaomi phones normally good as music source?

According to this reddit post, there is noticeable background hiss or static when using low impedance earphones. It seems there are no audiophiles over there so no comments on the actual SQ.
Thanks, I've read that also, it dosent seem to affect everyone, though. I'm no audiophile but I've just bought one to replace the great HTC one m8 and HTC 10 so I'll give you my opinion in a couple of days. The external speaker sounds great, particularly being a singled bottom firing one m

Waiting for your review, as I have HTC 10 right now.
Looking for another phone with great audio quality as the 10

I finally tried today with my Xiaomi Piston 3.0 earbuds and while it probably won't sound exactly like the HTCs it sounds fantastic. I'm very happy with that, I didn't expect such a good sound quality.

Cheers

sí, con auriculares de baja impedancia hay siseo

Dunu 2000j (8Ohm) está presente.
Toneking HF800 (16Ohm) menos que en Dunu.

Meze 99C (32Ohm) sigue ahí, pero en menor medida.
Takstar 82 (32Ohm) debe ser absolutamente silencioso para detectarlo ...
Akg 712 / 7xx (62Ohm) no hay.

pero espero que pueda ser arreglado por una actualización ... el sonido es realmente bueno y tiene poder para hacerte olvidar llevar un dac / amperio.

Particularmente no me causa mucha incomodidad, escucho música a un volumen medio alto y puedo disfrutarlo.
las personas que escuchan a bajo volumen notarán más.

Yo tengo Los piston (32 ohm) y no siento siseo alguno

Hablamos de 10V de potencia, un Mojo tiene 3V y la balanceada de un Ibasso DX200 6V, no os parece una burrada?, a mi no me cuadra, esa potencia pocos amplificadores estacionarios la tienen, no se, me genera muchas dudas
