                I can't understand, that kind of setting did you use? Hi-Fi - On or Off? Because it's hard to me to believe that poor quality from the headphones.

                  Hope this might have helped you.

                                so I read that this will only work on 3G networks in Canada. Is that true or will it do LTE just fine on Telus/Rogers/Bell's networks??

                                  I'm very disappointed with the battery capabilities.except huawei, most Chinese brands seem not care enough with the battery capabilities. They fight for thickness but don't care for functional aspect.actually I was so happy with this, but now have to think twice. Salute for huawei and other brands that put functional above the race for the most thin body. I write thin unhealthy not slim sexy

                                      Very detailed review but I was hopping more than passing mention in the conclusion about Mi Note's HiFi DAC and driver. Instead of using its built-in speaker, a HiFI grade headphone would be a better choice to see how it stack up against stand alone portable HiFi music players.

                                        John Shepard, 28 Feb 2015The statement is right - Snapdragon 801 does not feature FM... moreAll Snapdragno 801 phones have the same chip for Wifi, BT and FM so Xiaomi just choose to ground the antenna instead of spending one cent to connect it properly.

                                        If I wanted an iPhone I could buy one from Apple already.
