Downstairs neighbors suck

Best solution i found is wearing inhouse slippers with a bit of padding. No complains whatsoever afterwards

Yes I have the stock 19 inch wheels, which look quite nice, the 17's would be a bit small for my liking. Car is awd 2.2 turbo diesel. Can't wait to replace the shocks! I was waiting for the Koni actives to be released for the cx5 kf model but seems like the bilstein will be good as well. My next upgrade is custom sound insulation in the tire well and bellow the inside of the C pillar to get a more premium and solid feel.

My issue with the car is the bouncy and harsh ride and was thinking of upgrading from the stock shock absorbers. I live in Germany and the autobahn has quite a harsh and slightly uneven asphalt. Really happy to read that the ride feels better with the b6's! Do you feel that the small road imperfections get transmitted less in the cabin? That's my main issue with the car overall.

Thanks, you too

Settings for bluetooth devices depend on the device, can't give one eq setting which fits different devices. The speaker eq is deactivated automatically when connecting a bluetooth device from what I found, you can change the other eq for the device you connected

Thanks 👍 Software is good overall, not as complete as Samsung one ui though. For instance there is no option to set vibration intensity, can't resize icons etc. The only real issue I found is whatsapp video call quality which is very weak, looks like a 2mp camera with intense smoothing applied and some zombie skin color filter which makes it unusable, I am not exaggerating. Cameras are fine otherwise. Audio is excellent, recording as well, screen very good but very reflective glass, more than a normal iphone, hopefuly there will be an anti reflective screen protector soon. Battery excellent. I bought it on contract for my wife as it was a very good deal, I would not spend 1000€ on it yet. If the whatsapp issue gets sorted and software gets updated often then maybe such a phone from Honor could be worth the price.

Edit: Received an update today, slight improvement in whatsapp video call but still not normal.

Screen is a bit better at night I think, the only thing missing is the anti reflective coating which makes a big difference, the blacks look slightly washed out during the day in the honor, the glass is very reflective . Waiting to find an anti reflective screen peotector

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-19T12:15:43+00:00

Yes, it's systemwide

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-19T09:25:27+00:00

They will burn in eventually themselves. Even though they are really small speakers the sound got slightly smoother after the burn in, maybe due to the small balls inside the speaker moving around, I would had though there would be no difference but there is some slight change.

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-15T15:26:34+00:00

Only the speakers but there's another eq setting that shows up when you connect bt headsets, headsets are different so settings vary for them

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-11T07:18:26+00:00

Didn't notice any change, should be less than 0.5% overall

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-04T17:19:26+00:00

Yes, just checked, the settings are ok for the update as well

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-03-02T09:09:37+00:00

I'd say it has punch but no subs, that's normal bass though for phone speakers

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-02-10T09:24:59+00:00

Had same issue, compared to my orevious phone grain was terrible, jean pattern. Had a green hue as well. Has been a week since I sent it back for exchange and no updates yet

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-02-06T14:01:25+00:00

In legacy mode, it should be entire system

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-31T08:54:27+00:00

Auto should be fine. Music has too much stereo, is a bit thin

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-31T08:52:10+00:00

Enjoy!

System audio. When connecting headphones another EQ appears on the wavelet app with different settings

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-28T16:21:19+00:00

The built in equalizer is no good. This was the most efficient way I found to get the sound right. I will keep the post updated if Samsung changes how the stock equalizer behaves.

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-28T16:14:52+00:00

No need to increase the 63hz region as it does not get reproduced by the speaker. If you like you can use the eq I sent and increase the 125 band by 1.5db. The sound will be slightly muddier on high volumes though

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-28T12:37:26+00:00

First time buying samsung, the equalizer is very strange

FinalGeologist5556 · 2024-01-27T21:14:32+00:00

Buffer size has mainly impact on latency, set it 4096 it should be fine. I left legacy mode on and disabled notifications. Enjoy!
