Have you ever taste HTC One M8 Harman/kardon?
It's a masterpiece, no other comes close to it in audio departement.

HTC was partnered with beats audio -> bought by apple
Partnered with Harman ->will be sold to Samsung

        In my experience, the Samsung sound is a weak point, weak bass and sound distortion when playing with louder will feeling uncomfortable, especially the Samsung smart TV. Samsung no in-depth technical aspects of sound.

          Maybe they will finally start putting a good sound chips in their phones, because as for now, they are far behind the competition in this aspect. I get it never was a main focus of Samsung, but it's about time to give people a bit more.

              harman destroyed AKG, they are closin big factory in Austria. 518Dj was great until they stopped producing in Austria, now they just sell chinese crap. I hope Samsung will destroy harman now and bring back AKG quality to life.
