Music quality through earphones

Maybe that's because you already have damaged ears

25 and after on the volume control is plenty loud enough. I don't feel "short changed" in the volume department by the 920. Of course, the volume you're hearing will depend on the impedance rating of the headphones.....
I'm not sure how I feel about the audio quality. I think it's good, but I'd rather see a third-party music player. I do miss my PowerAmp app from Android (one of the only things I do miss). The on-board player is not really enough for me, but I can see that for most people it will be more than adequate.

I just love the audio effect from my lumia 920 no matter through 3.5mm jack port or the built-in speaker. It's one of my all time favorite mobile devices which give arguably loud, crisp, stero encompass sound. I think it at least on par with iphone 5 audio quality, even better.

I am using Bose MIE2 earphone on Lumia920 and it's insanely amazing.... I love this earphone, even more after the update of Equalizer and Dolby.... The MIE2 got more functions like press to take, end calls, press and hold for speech commands, double press for next track..volume control only via phone.

It's very handy while driving..I just say call "Contact Name".. and that's it.

Only concern is the sound is little bit lower than the other headphone but I don't care as more the sound by earphones, bad for the ears. So probably Bose kept the sound at a resonable level so we should not have our ears permanentlyl damaged.

I actually used headphones for the first time with the phone the other day, and it was good Clear sound with a punch. But off course is also depends on what headphones you use.

The sound out of the 3.5mm jack isn't that great compared to other high end phones. Definitely nowhere near as good as my previous Motorola Atrix. GSMArena's review pretty much agrees with this. It isn't bad, it just isn't as crisp and clear as other phones I've had. I would just call it average. Of course, better headphones does help.

Quality is great, but they don't pump as loud. Funny that when I hit 20/30 it warned me about ear damage and it wasn't even near the level I'm used to listening. I play most of my music at 25/30, but that's almost full blast, the equivalent level on the iPhone would be 75%, although I could never pump my iPhone all the way without ear damage so I guess it doesn't matter really.

Are you talking about through headphones or earbuds? I don't know how anyone could tolerate that volume. With earbuds I listen at 15, 16 tops.

Its horrible. Nokia really need to work on this. Even GSM arena gave it "below average" yet the Ativ S with exactly the same internals scored "almost perfect"
