How is the speaker volume on the DROID TURBO 2?

[Zaku77]

What is the speaker volume and quality like on this phone compared to the Moto X Pure or a One M8/M9? I use my phone for music a lot, and a loud, good sounding speaker is very important to me. I was surprisingly pleased with the Moto X Pure in this regard compared to my old M8. The speakers are really the only thing holding me back from looking at now switching to the Turbo 2.

I would not say it compares to the one 9 as that has duel speakers but it certainly is louder then any LG or Samsung phone

I came here to ask this question in relation to the Nexus 6. First time I have front facing speakers, and I've been very impressed.

I've got a MXPE and a Droid T2 right here side by side checking the very same thing,I can hardly notice any difference to tell ya the truth.

 

[MarkSBaines]

But the MXPE has dual stereo speakers, the Droid T2 only has one at the bottom for music/video playback apparently. Can't be the same sound surely?

 

[Patrick Matteson]

No Sir,there are 2 speakers on the DT2 and they both have sound while music is playing..

 

[tbenedict]

Mine only has sound out the bottom right port. Holding a finger over it mutes.

Both of the speakers play sound and it is pretty loud. On par with my M8 for loudness. Stereo quality on the M8 way better though.[Correction...only the right speaker plays]

The DT2 external speaker is only the bottom right speaker.

Play something and take turns covering the speakers.

Its loud, but it's only one speaker

Then what's the bottom left used for?!

 

[tbenedict]

I'm guessing the actual phone mic.

I'm guessing the actual phone mic.

I think the actual phone mic is the tiny opening on the back right below the second letter D.

 

[doogald]

The user manual calls the two opening on the bottom "audio ports". It could be that they are splitting sound with treble and midrange sound coming out of the right opening and bass coming out of the left one?

 

[MarkSBaines]

I'm guessing then that the top speaker is for phone calls only?

 

[dpham00]

I'm guessing then that the top speaker is for phone calls only?

Yeah the top speaker is for calls.

 

[Papers15]

Only one speaker for audio (bottom right) the bottom left speaker is for noise cancellation.

 

[adayoff]

The speaker for calls, is it favored to one side like the T1 or is it center? It took a while for me to get used to favoring the top right side while on a call. It also was uncomfortable when I wear my glasses and forget to hold it right so as to not interfere with my glasses.

How is it?

You just made my night as the MXPE is freaking awesome and I thought the T2 may be a downgrade. I usually stream via BT to powered speaker or car audio but on rare occasion I rock out on the front facing speakers.

Regarding the question of the N6, the MXPE was far superior when side by side with the original N6. If the T2 is in the same ballpark as the MXPE then it's a winner.

Using it to listen to Waze in my car it doesn't seem very loud.
