So I just picked up the S10e, replacing a J3 Eclipse. Nice speed upgrade, more efficient interface, but I immediately noticed the headphone sound wasn't as good as with my Eclipse (which had no enhancements made to the stock sound).
The highs on the S10e are tinny and shrill, even after adjusting the EQ, using Altos and adapting the sound, which maybe made a slight improvement. I'm using Apple earbuds which have always given the best sound on any device I've used.
Anyone else notice this? Perhaps it's just my device? I could live with it, as it's not terrible or broken, but I use my phone very heavily for music, so I'm leaning towards returning it as I shouldn't be taking a step backwards when it comes to audio.
