Right now i'm using the headset that comes with the phone to listen to music, basically my Wing as an MP3 player for me, but the sound is a bit low even at high, so i was thinking maybe its cuz its a hands free and u dont want ppl yelling in your ear... so if i get a BT Headphones like http://cgi.ebay.com/MOTOROLA-S9-STE...yZ133229QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
or similar
will it be louder ?
Thanks in advance ( i like loud music )
Sooo... does any1 know if there is a difference in the sound ?
im using an htc 11pin to 3.5mm adapter with air sealed earbuds, but the sound is still lower than it would be with the headphones and an mp3 player.
okay well i currently have the Beats by Dr Dre Solo HDs that i use for music. thing is the controls to change song and volume only worked on my old iPhone 4 n not my TB. i was also interested in bluetooth headphones but i dont know if the feautures will work well or if it will work at all (althought i THINK it should at this age and time). so any of you guys out there using Bluetooth headphones that work decent?
Apple switches some of the leads that control volume and track so that you have to buy apple's headphones(or apple-licensed headphones.) The headphones you have were probably designed for use on apple products, and have funky pin-outs, so they won't control other devices. As for bluetooth headphones I use my super old sonys and they work just fine. I bought them after bluetooth just first hit the market, and they have some of the best fidelity I have ever heard in other, more expensive headphones (I'm an audiophile.) A2DP works just fine, so you can buy whatever stereo bt headphones you like.
I got some pretty good logitech Bluetooth headphones that work great. Decent sound too....

ive got sony's n i hear them but they cant hear me?why doesnt the mic work? wut the bleep?never mind i think i found the answer
Does that Beats Audio thingymajig only work when something is plugged into the 3.5mm jack? Is there any way to make it work with a wireless (Bluetooth) headset?
I don't own one yet so I kind of wanted to know
Is Beats even that big of a deal or just a glorified equalizer?
Beats Audio does work with Bluetooth, sounds great with both of my Motorola stereo headsets.

Nail.Head. It is just an equalizer. It works well with my earphones, but over my car stereo it adds too much bass. When Beats is selected under Sound, Sound Enhancer, then the Beats mode will apply almost any time audio is playing on your phone, whether it be through Bluetooth, plugged in headsets, or the phones speaker. A Beats icon will display at the top. I did notice that this wasn't the case using the FM Radio app. So to answer your question, it does work through Bluetooth, and is just an equalizer.
It doesn't work with the speaker on the phone... Or at least mine doesn't.

That's strange. Mine does bring up the Beats icon in the drop down bar when playing through the speakers. Not that Beats is going to make any difference to sound quality through the micro speaker on the back. I'm just running the stock rom (for now). Not sure why mine is different than yours.

pretty much. I use volume+
I bought Beats Wireless, Beats Audio doesn't work
Okay, so everyone in this thread are saying that beats audio works with bluetooth paired headphones and speaker. Well I tried to use my Wireless Beats on my Htc Sensation XE and Beats Audio does not activate itself, unless I use the jack. I really want to use the Beats Audio while using the headphones wireless. Help?
Check your sound settings. Beats if enabled, will fire up as soon as a BT audio device or headphones is connected.
If that doesnt work still, depending on ROM if not stock, start there for support. There are also mods available for sound settings that bypass Beats and have customized EQ profiles. I have used volume + sucessfully and to me, Beats works best in my car but for studio or serious monitoring work I use custom profiles.

Anyone else noticing how poor the max volume level is on this phone? I like my music loud in my eyes with headphones and I just can't push it with this phone. Anyone have any fixes to this or use any apps?
Here's a great solution if you like loud music.
FIIO E06 Portable Amplifier
About $25 from Amazon

Try Apollo+ app
Using this solved my problem
Or use PowerAmp with custom eq preset.

Turned out my headphones were busted. My new seinhessiers (sp) were just delivered and phone is very loud.
I didn't know you could listen to music through your eyes...

PowerAmp provides a small boost, which makes the puny LG headset just loud enough. Sennheiser speakers generally seem to be louder, though most of them have 32ohms impedance, 16ohms should be louder, theoretically. I like oldskool headphones without silicone plugs, i don´t think the new ones will last one decade like my Sennheiser MX550. I just bough MX400 MS for less than 10 Euros, looking cheaper than the MX550s, they provide the same sound quality and volume.
The LGs headset plug is Apple compatible, without an adapter to switch mic & GND connectors, Samsung and Sony stuff won´t work. Nokia´s needs the adapter to play music w/o distortion, but control buttons will never work.
hey guys, i noticed that listening to music over my sony car stereo is not of great quality i tried all the settings in the sound, like clear audio etc, and dynamic settings and sound enhancement settings, i use power amp player and use music fx setting with it, also tried without it . Can someone recommend whats the best way to listen to music to over bluetooth, i also tried installing viper4android audio mod but something is putting me off when it comes to listening to music over bluetooth. my car stereo is sony bt mex5000
Try Player Pro with DSP Pack..if that doesn't do it. Plug it in with a regular cable to your car stereo and try that

tried it still the same not that good, is there anyone that can tell me what i need to buy to enhance and get best audio quality over bluetooth as i try to not use cables at all
Your ultra supports apt-x, so streaming over apt-x is the better bet, but not sure if your car supports it.

If you're streaming to a car stereo you have to take into account that you have 2 amps in play. You need the sound coming out of the phone as clean as possible, so turn off any enhancements including graphic equalising and just have a pure output. Otherwise you'll get double processing which will sound awful. This goes double for POWERaMP as it has probably the most powerful processing available!
Unfortunately your stereo doesn't support apt-x but you should still get good quality through a2dp.
You haven't said what's wrong with the sound though? Give a brief description.
I use mine on my parrot with PowerAmp and it sounds flawless.

interesting, i thought if i use enhancements on my phone like viper4android it will help in listening to good quality over bluetooth.
I use power amp, so you advise me to remove the also direct control from power amp, and the equaliser too from power amp, and streaming as clean as possible to my sony stereo and control the sound from there.
how about the tone on power amp and the limit on shall i turn them off too.
How bout the sony z ultra, it has sound mods too like clear audio and sound enhancement and dynamic normaliser should i turn then off too.
since i started playing with processing enhancements I started to hate listening to music altogether.
I just bought today jbl component speaker 4 of them, and jbl sub, so i would really like help in how to listen to great sound, and which player other than power amp is the best out there, i tried neutron player and i found it so difficult to get good sound out of it, especially when i played with enhancements
the sound i got before the jbls component was so muffled and so strange and irritating mids get lost, and if i turn up the mids the sound becomes so sharp and irritating to my ears.
with jbl its better now but i still am not where id like to be in listening to music over bluetooth, but i know my problem now mainly is to know how to stream music the best way from my phone to my sony BT mex5100. I know i my car stereo does not support aptx, so do u think if i buy a aptx bluetooth receiver like the uplay puck or kinivo it will help more or will it make no difference
what i aim to is a nice smooth sound not so sharp on my ears and a nice bass

Yeah, basically if you're outputting post processed sound to your car stereo, your stereo is doubling processing on top, so any bass or treble will be amped through the roof and so distort and hiss. Take as clean a sound into the car amp and then the amp can manage the levels properly within tolerance. Car amps are very difficult to replicate pure sound, they usually have some bias built in to make the most out of the environment and surrounding noise levels, plus they're a lot more powerful than any phone, so that's why you should rely on the stereo processing rather than amping the phone and running the stereo clean, just wouldn't have the same quality.
Also disable any Sony effects, they'll screw the output out also. Turn everything off.
Apt-x makes a big difference, so if you can, definitely look at a newer model, maybe pioneer or alpine or a high end parrot for great quality. With bluetooth, you definitely get what you pay for, so it's worth looking at the high end systems, and if possible test them out somewhere to find the one that's right for you. We've got Halfords in the UK where you can demo the systems in the shop, I'm sure there'll be something around wherever you are.
Personally I've always used PowerAmp, I love the sound it produces through headphones with processing, as well as clean when I disable all the tweaks, haven't found any other player that matches it so can't really comment on alternatives.
Probably not worth saying but make sure the format is good quality, 320 bit mp3, aac, etc. Anything less and you'll lose the bass and treble.
Really grateful for this topic as I'd love to know other people's views on this too... I have a mid level parrot system which I'm thinking of upgrading as it's a little low on power.

i checked the net and i could not find any car stereo that has bluetooth with aptx, so which aptx receiver shall i buy, I found so far kinivo or play puck is there something better than those, by the way i bought the sony sbh2 bluetooth headset do u think i can use it as a good receiver but it does not support aptx
today i received my sony sbh2 headset, i tried streaming music using its bleu tooth capability on my sony stereo bt mex 5100 which has bluetooth in itself. so when i compared streaming music using the bluetooth of sbh2 to my sony stereo the sound was worse than when i used the built in bluetooth of my sony stereo. I know that my shb2 does not support aptx, so I was wondering if I buy a dongle that supports aptx will it give me better sound on my sony stereo than the built in bluetooth of my sony car stereo which does not support aptx.
I don't want to waste money if it won't improve the sound quality
