iPhone 6s Plus to S7 Edge?

[uproar]

Other question, about the sound. I have read that many complain about the volume which is too low. Impressions?

Depends on the person I guess. I'm already quite content with the headset volume set at around 40%. 100% is already too loud for me. But then I've been already tested by ENT specialists at the hospital to be able to hear 10db sounds. Average human hearing ranges at 20db so... I'm not really a good barometer for loudness. Lol.

I will check that out, thanks. I never run into a compatible headset when I was both on S3 or Xperia. All the big names weren't working with their volume control.

I had no problem with volume control on my S3 with my Polk Audio headphones, it is just the forward/backward buttons that didn't work on Android. I believe my Bluetooth earbuds from Jaybird worked with volume and forward/backward with my S3 (and my Palm Pre before that), so maybe the Bluetooth route would work well for you.

I went back with Apple for two reasons: privacy and music. Privacy, because I think Apple is tighter with user data compared to Google, and music because, well, I think an iPhone works just better for music.

I use iTunes on my Windows PC to buy my music (and play it on the computer), so sync it and playlists via Wi-Fi to my phone using iSyncr. I don't buy music often, but even if I did, it is easy to sync new songs with iSyncr. I have no need to buy music on my phone itself, so it works perfectly for me. I use Rocket Player as my phone's music app.

Quality of songs in any android phone cannot match iTunes converted music files in your iPhone mp3 is much lesser quality of sound than converted mp3 through iTunes which I think AAC.

I use m4a files on my Android devices, which is AAC. They're synced from iTunes.

The many headphones designed for iPhone headsets are incompatible with other devices. In general the audio out and one button control on such headsets will work, but the audio-in (microphone) and volume controls will not. Some headset manufacturers produce dual version products that have wider support (presumably supporting more than one signalling method), but working out which is which is a little hit and miss. Its advisable to avoid iPhone specific headset accessories where possible; instead look for AHJ or OMTP compatibility as suited to your specific device.
But the samsung headphones suitable for almost all the devices. and as your requirements you can opt iphone 6S, there are some more other aspects which places s7 edge and it's awesome.

I haven't used my headphones with my S7 Edge yet, but have used speakers with it and I don't recall noticing a difference in volume level from my S3.

Your best bet is to get a high-quality pair of headphones. My Polk Audio noise-cancelling on-the-ear headphones are amazing - you hear things in the music you have never heard in it before - and I don't really need to use the music app's equalizer to enhance it (but on my tiny bathroom speakers and house's in-ceiling speakers I do). BTW, I did notice that the S7 Edge has a more quality, clearer sound from my tiny bathroom speakers than my S3 had at the same volume.

Android can play FLACC. This is lossless, and is in fact one of the best, if not the best formats for audio quality. Even the best quality mp3 is inferior to that.

That's just silly nonsense. Using iSyncr, my iTunes music is synced to my GS7 Edge in the same format that it is when synced to my iPhone using iTunes. No difference whatsoever.

I use mediamonkey on my PC and on my S7. It allows me to wireless sync which is so handy.

My Samsung headset also uses that same configuration as the iphone jack. So I guess they should be interchangeable now? //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160524/554099a333702a2f3fb51f57166fee56.jpg

That's a headset. They all are TRRS. The issue there is that apple uses a different method to switch between ground and audio channel to control volume, and a different method between ground and mic to play/pause/answer calls even though the rings are the same and in the same order.

It might work. There are ways to add a bit of circuitry inside the little capsule where the volume/play buttons are to force compatibility, but not every company tries to do it.

Apple uses the TRRS configuration even on older headphones without a mic. because the way they control volume needs the audio channels (the RR rings) in a certain spot. There's nothing wrong with their way, and it might even be better than the standard. But since it's not standard, it means not everything will work everywhere.

ThinkDifferent.

PowerAmp is a very good music client. I use Google Music though mostly and it works very well. Music quality wise, when connected with a wire through Android Auto, the quality is the same as the iPhone music player with Apple Music on my work iPhone and Car Play.

Am I the only one that can download music from iTunes and have it automatically appear in my Google Music miraculously with no 3rd party app?

I have several pairs of good headphones and earbuds. The volume level in the S7e struggles to drive some hp. Way lower than some of the older Samsung.

No, but there are many of us that prefer all our music to be on the SD card and not just the cloud.

I remember the first time I used noise cancelling headphones how blown away I was hearings parts of songs I had never heard before even though I had listened to the songs for years.

I find the S7 speakers for myself to be loud. For example I was just playing Sims Freeplay and I turned the volume up and was like "too loud" and turned it back to half volume. That's just me though so anyone else could be different

It seemed adequate to me when I tested it in a store. Guess anyone has its own internal "level".

I have a 200 gb sdcard which i fill up with my music. All the music is purchased from itunes on the desktop, and just dragged and dropped to the card. There i either use Usb audio player pro to play all my music. WHen am at home, i use HD 598s for relaxed listening and ATH M50x headphone for more driven, along with a fiio q1 or just use it natively. The S7 Exynos version comes with a Cirrus Logic/Wolfson Audiochip. This is a pretty good setup for a phone and sounds pretty good.

Say what? I can save my google play music to my phone.

AFAIK Google music saves to phone memory, not SD card.
