S21FE audio quality

[rahdirS]

Hello,

 I have been using this S21fe for the past 2 weeks. I just bought a type c to 3.5 jack. Actually i am pretty disappointed with audio quality through wired connection. It lacks power and the punch.

 I was using the sony mdr-XB150ap wired headset with my previous mi A1 which was like a boom on my ears, at full volume you can feel the bass slaping on your ears. 

But the same headphone connected with my new S21FE sounds low and I cant enjoy the music as before. My previous phone was just 15k and that too was five years back. But even at this premium price of 55k why am i not getting the same??

Any comments with solutions would be really helpful!!

Did you got original samsung type c to 3.5mm converter? I believe the original connector will help you with the sound

Yes!! Just got it from exclusive Samsung online store

I think the problem is with your connector. Try to connect with Bluetooth earphone, definitely you will get awesome sound from your s21fe.

That adapter u bought has probably a DAC chip in it which converts the digital signal to analog one to drive ur 3.5mm headphones just coz samsung decided to drop the 3.5jaack😭😭,n if ur headphones impedance is higher then it probably needs amplification that's why you got disappointed with ur current purchase, apart from using Bluetooth headphones other option would be to buy a good 3.5adapter with a good DAC chip capable to drive many headphones with enough power. You should probably go to a offline store n test it yourself.

Thank you, but i read on many blogs that most of the adapters don't work with the samsung phones. If you know specific brands that are compatible with samsung please let me know...

Sorry bud, idk about specific brands, that's why I told you to go to a nearest mobile accessory store n try out DAC adapters face to face. Another website I know is headphonezone.in which is India based n there's a section of DAC adapters but you've to confirm with their chat service first n talk about return options if anything didn't work if you bought it.
