Otter Defender case

I just turned on the phone and started playing the Temptation's masterpiece, "Papa was a rolling stone' and I can honestly say that it sounds better on this phone than any other that I have had. The guitar work sounds fantastic in stereo. I appreciate music but I am no audiophile, but to my ears this phone sounds phenomenal, so much better than my Samsung S4 and I loved its' sound. Clarity with a Capital C.

I have not tried it with headphones and that is where you get to go in and play around with the sound. As an audiophile(a guess based on your questions) you will check this feature out pretty quick and I am sure will be pleased. I base that upon how great I feel the front facing stereo speakers sound. I just can't imagine that they wouldn't have got that part perfect.

Listening at the moment to a live version of "Why' with Annie Lennox playing on a grand piano and it is just unbelievable with this phone. If someone enjoys music listening on their phone, I highly recommend this HTC One M9.

Listening now to the Commodores'"Sail on" and again it sounds perfect, maybe I should invest in a pair of Sennheisers.

 

Well I found one little problem with the case. The opening at the bottom for access to the charging port and headphone jack is a little too narrow to fit the plug in for my new Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones! But I can get my jack in for a cheap pair of Sony headphones and let me tell you that Dolby NR pops on automatically and it sounds fantastic with the HTC One M9, far superior to my old Samsung Galaxy S4. Incredible difference as I just found out listening to Led Zeppelin's "Heh hey what can I do?" Now listening to Al Stewart's "Year of the cat" which never sounded so good to me. Boy, I may have to take the case off to test those new cans out!

Afrobat, if you read this, I am really thinking you should at least go into a store and check out this sound in person.

Thanks to all replies on this topic.

 

Retried the Sennheiser headphones and success! The jack fits and that is with the USB power cable also plugged in at the same time. See photo.
