Having 24-bit high-resolution sound with Dolby Audio™ Surround, built-in DAC and high-output amplifier makes this device appealing to me. Do you get the benefits of High-Fidelity sound over Bluetooth streaming?
In My opinion no, it is only hi-fi headphones AMP.

One of the reviewer mentioned its very useful when you play via Bluetooth speaker or even the normal headphones play boosted up sound. Can someone check this?
With stronger amplifier, it will be better normal headphones sure.

I can't get the BoomSound with my SG4 headphones. Need something else?
Works with my htc m7 headphones. It makes the music louder. Sound quality is a little better with it on, but I have trouble distinguishing if it's just because the volume is louder. I wonder if having it on would drain the battery faster.

Whats the audio quality like using bluetooth on the Infuse? I only use high quality music files, mostly FLAC via a AUX cable in my vehicle currently.
lol i thought i was the only one using FLAC still these days but Bluetooth quality sucks on a lot of headphones since it made Wireless not for Quality so since you have FLAC i would go with Wired Headphones that have a mic on it
Is there anyway to listen to audio out in real time?
I couldn't find a single app that offered real time audio out from my headset microphones.
Audio out from where? The phone jack is already audio out.
The sound from my headphones seems to be in mono. Is there a way to get it to do stereo? There seems to be a mod for stereo from the speakers, but I can't see anything about headphones.
Hi, I using Mix 2s and the quality of sound on earphones is quite a disaster.
Sound is very grainy and there is a lot of static noise in some songs. I am using Spotify Premium with very high-quality settings and the sound on wireless and wired earphones is the same - means very bad. So, it’s not just bad piece of set.
I was blaming the audio codec on Bluetooth as my BT earphones should be able to use ACC codec, but there is just SBC available in developer option. I heard the BT codec issue in last Global MIUI I am using global 10.2.2) not allowing to use any codec outside SBC, but the sound is the same on wired earphones.
Does anyone experience the same issue with sound quality?

I have no issues on LineageOS (wired and BT LDAC).
I am using 10.2.2 stable too and i do not have any troubles with sound quality. Using spotify, sound is fine with Bluetooth and wired phones.

Thank you, and are you able to connect to BT headseat with any other codec then SBC? I am able to change that in developer option but it always go back to default after leaving menu.

Have tried Mix2s with 3 different phones at home on BT and headset. Samsung A8, Honor 8 Pro and iPhone 6s and most ****ty sound by class is from Xiaomi, which makes me very sad as this is my daily driver... will try MIUI EU if this makes any difference or sell my Xiaomi device.
I come from a redmi note 4X and dont notice any problems with it. I have a brainwavz BLU200, which supports aptx.
Maybe the phone is recognizing the headphones as a headset (for calls which utterly kills the sound quality).

Thank you, but this is not the case. The sound is bad also on wired headphones. Sound is flat, lot of static noise, missing any stage. By class worst sound from 4 phones I can find at home. I will try different USB C to 3.5 mm adapter if helps.
Ouch, I have not tried the usb adapter with my wired headphones. I'm scared to try now (ignorance is bliss?).

My LDAC headphones work well. I am afraid there's something wrong with your device and I'd recommend to have it repaired.
Just tested the wired audio with my Brainwavz HM5 and i found it awesome. Also i have searched a bit on the net and seems that the mi mix 2s outputs analog over the USB-C adapter. The sounds come from the DAC on the SoC (SD845) which seems to be a quite nice DAC (https://semiaccurate.com/2017/12/19/qualcomm-ups-audio-ante-snapdragon-845/) to be a cellphone.
Try wiping and flashing a stock rom. If that dont fix it, I suspect that your case is a hardware problem.
And last but not less important, i'm not an audiophile so maybe what i hear good is subpar to you, but if the sound would be as bad, way more people would have complained by now.
Thank you. I have tried different USB-C to 3,5mm adapter then standard Xiaomi one and grain is about 50% less so positive news here, but sound is still flat and dont have any sound stage. May be I am to picky and got luck with my previous phones. I have ordered external DAC adapter to solve this problem as on the other hand this is only problem I have with the phone.
I one of my friends found the core of the problem. He sad to have iPhone 7 that sounds ****ty as well. He had found out after about year of searching and two sets of headphones that somewhere in some different settings was set MONO sound only. My problem was same and very stupid! For my IQ deffence I don't know why this settings is not located in sound section. So problem solved and thank everybody for help! For anyone having this issue you can deactivate Mono sound in Settings -> Additional Settings -> Accessibility -> Turn off "Mono Audio"
Hi, can you tell if bluetooth codecs like Aptx hd and aptx adaptive from the developers options menu were added ?
LDAC, SSC, SBC, AAC and AptX are present.
AptX HD is likely not supported. Never has been.
Well, it sucks.
The Buds+ (SSC) are excellent for calls, and very good for music using Poweramp's graphic equalizer. Double as noise plugs. Very long battery life.
A LDAC headet from Sony or Panasonic be the next step up.
All are inferior to a hardwired headset.
Samsung had room for the 3.5mm jack and the damn SD card slot.
It's netted them a lot of lost sales from me. I now have 2 N10+'s and don't intend to buy any new smartphone for 2-3 years.
Other than battery replacements the N10+ can easily last 3+ years. This one I'm using is 2.5 yo, in mint condition with one battery replacement.
Still running on Pie, current load will be 2 yo in June, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Security is simply not an issue.
The N10+'s color rendering index and white point exceed the newer variable refresh rate displays.
It gets 10 hours battery life. It's still a blast to use which is why I got a backup one... whatever
"Samsung should add the aptX HD, aptX Adaptive and aptX TWS+ Bluetooth audio codecs to their line of Galaxy S products."
Sign the Petition
All aptX Bluetooth audio codecs on Samsung Galaxy S devices
www.change.org
You should care people, because there's no more Jack 3.5mm...
Bluetooth on this phone is trash
The last time we had AptX HD was during the S8 plus with Oreo.
They supported the Level Headphones with UHD and AptX HD.
Then when Pie came, they discontinued the headphones and they removed AptX HD.
People with such headphones made petitions in the Samsung community forums and samsung finally resurrected the AptX in the Note9. During this time, samsung pushed the Samsung scalable codec for all the new wireless headphones and true wireless headphones.
But dont expect samsung to bring anything back, they are now supporting their own codec and devices. Still LDAC works well.
Listening to music via BT is trash anyway, whatever ther codec, so why care?

You're totally wrong, it sounds even better via BT than wire for most of BT headphones because they use their own DAC. The KBPS does not make everything, If you have at least 500 KBPS is way enough for sound quality, most important is DAC and of course the Headphone itself.
Boom player, neutron, poweramp or stock samsung music player. And for best sound you need best earphone (bragi dash pro)I use.

U'd better study a little...
All BT codecs are compressed (even aptx HD) and lossy and cannot reach HiRes quality. If u listen to Spotify of course you're already using a very bad source.

Damn you understood nothing, what I said ?, Which sound better between listening 320Kbps MP3 in a AUDI A8 with Bang&Olufsen audio system and a wired JBL headphone with MASTER TIDAL 24 bits music etc... Can you answer which is the best experienced, after you can tell me u'd better study a lot.
Depends on how u connect headphones to smartphone, if dac of the dongle kn MQA certified (oh and btw MQA is compressed a d lossy)... There is no BT that is bit perfect, and if u listen to mp3 quality the codec is insignificant... even if you listen to Cd quality, since no bt codec can match...
U can have the best dac in the world, but garbage in garbage out... Take a 24bit 192KHz FLAC and play it via aptx hd and your hear trash... play it via any other bt codec a d you hear slightly worst trash... it's still trash so why care?
