Hmm that’s interesting I was checking the speakers on my iPhone 8 and my brothers iPhone X and we both agreed that the 8 was a tad bit louder.
This was the only comparison I have been trying hard to find all over the internet. By doing a blind hearing test by myself, I find iPhone 8 Plus has more bass and louder sound than iPhone X. Again, I am not comparing iPhone X's speaker with iPhone 8 but rather with iPhone 8 Plus. However, listening with AirPods, in-ear headphones, I find no difference in the sound. iPhone 8 Plus has more grill holes than iPhone X.
So how much louder? Can you give us a number?
it is pointless to have a sound meter setup but no number to back it up.
Speakers, in and of themselves, are not more or less powerful. The complete audio system built into the phone includes the speakers, the amplifier and the volume of the enclosure as well as any processing of the signal. The speakers may be larger to allow for deeper bass and more output with a smaller amplifier. Alternatively, the speakers themselves may be smaller, but used with a more powerful amplifier may produce the same sound pressure level. Also in the mix is equalization of the entire system to provide a more accurate and balanced output.
I got to call BS on this! You guys use this fancy microphone and claim the iPhoneX speakers are better. Then why can't we hear that? In fact all the comparison test I've done as the others have said my ears and decibel meter indicates that iPhone 8 Plus is a tad bit louder, but in reality I bet they are the exact same speakers.
