Freefaller™, 23 Sep 2013@ shawon.nsu Yeah, the earphones that come in the box ar... moreSorry freefaller i don't agree in this topic. according to gsmarena"The new earphones are dubbed HS330 and feature dual-speakers
(8mm tweeter and 10mm woofer) for improved performance with
both high and low frequency sounds. They offer better bass than
just about any other pair of headphones you can find in a
smartphone's retail package".

mine got a great earphones and s4(octa only) offers much better sound than htc one x and close to htc one. I have experienced it. The one x Just had a loud sound. That's not lovely. just listen on both side by side. The s4 has way clearer output with better bass. its pure sound.

You can also see the frequency response of s4 in s4 octa vs s600 comparison by gsmarena. It's almost perfect. The wolfson DAC has the best output of any phone available.but unfortunately this is available in only the octa variant of s4. look at my comment below. I told him it depends on version.

and the stock music player is great. It also has a decent equilizer. go to music player. press menu button. go to settings>soundalive> custom and boom there is a great 7 band equaliser with an extended option for bass and reverberation etc. and the best thing about stock is that it is optimised for your phone. It can come in lockscreen and all plus it has adaptsound etc.

btw freefaller which version you use???i9500 or i9505

have a nice day.

                    If you do decide to try PlayerPro then download the PlayerPro DSP Pack (free), and also the PlayerPro Wmp skin (free).

                      Yeah, the earphones that come in the box are a bit s**t, aren't they; but then the same applies to all manufacturers. I suppose it's all down to cost.
                      Coming from an HTC One X (lovely sound), you will notice the difference with the S4. Investing in a decent pair of earphones will make a big difference. I also use PlayerPro Music Player for my music; it has a decent equaliser which is a big improvement on the stock one. You can get a free 10 day trial app on Google Play Store.

                              I believe the only way is through a wifi router either external or built in.

                              I will be highly grateful if anyone can enloghten me how to do this if he can do a workaround without rooting.

                                      I had planned to buy note 3 but when I realised, spending that much amount on phone would be very stupid thing to do. So I turned over to s4 and note 2 and I'm confused which one to buy. suggest me the best one among them people over the net say that s4 feels very cheap in hand. Mostly due to the classic aluminium(metallic) band on s4. My question is, does it really feel that cheap when you are holding it in hand? I mean does it feel cheaper than s3 or not?...
