Ok so I'm posting this both because I feel I have found a way to get a very nice, much fuller and more even sound out of the Beats ear buds, but also posting it because I am curious to see if anyone else would have the same opinion. With these settings, music sounds GREAT, and I have tried several different types of music, from classical and ambient to industrial rock and underground hip hop. This seems to be a good (but not perfect) universal setting.
I am attaching the DSP Manager apk, you'll need to install this. Also, I leave Beats Audio ENABLED. So once DSP installed, go into "headset", and set the options as shown in the screenshot also attached below. Note, the first option, Dynamic Range Compression, which is cut off in the screen shot, is UNCHECKED. Try this out and let me know what you guys think!
Sounds amazing dude thanks

Have you tried anything with the phone speaker option?
I actually think it sounds better with beats off with these settings lol
Do you have to have temp root to install an apk? (n00b here)

Nope. It's not a root app
Awesome dude sounds pretty good. Can't wait until we can use beats in google music.

Beats works for me in Pandora.... and also works with other headphones. These settings SHOULD sound good even without Beats, and the DSP Manager EQ settings are universal.

You don't mix to EQ's together people. And Beats EQ does NOT work in any app other than the HTC app. You are mistaken if you think otherwise. You either use the HTC app w/beats on/off. Or any other app you want with DSP/Equalizer/etc.
I had a question about this app. On my Rezound I scanned the QR code and tried browsing here to download the apk and both ways it still says that the apk isn't compatible with my device and my device doesn't know how to handle the file type. Any idea why that is and how I can fix it? I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging on (if that would matter here). Thanks for the reply
Yeah, I think this sounds better than beats. Good job.
yeah this is better than the beats and do you know if this dsp will help with the phone speaker ?
I hope you don't mind me asking. Where did this program come from? Does it have anything to do with the "HTC enhancer" option in the stock program?
I'm not sure it necessarily sounds better with dynamic range compression on but it certainly sounds different. I would have to listen longer to decide if I really like it better.
On the plus side, rolling the treble off makes the headphone jack interference a little less obvious.
I do like the effect better than Beats, which I was not into.
I use to use DSP in my incredible, I'm glad to see I can use it on my Rezound. I found it does sound a little better, and I am able to use beats and dsp at the same time. I did get a couple of dsp force closes but nothing major, thanks

I honestly don't know for sure where the dsp manager app came from initially, but it started showing up in most of the custom Inc ROMs a while ago.
I'm glad to see other people are enjoying the settings and I'm not aurally retarded

I mean like volume boost but for the internal speaker
Sent from my HTC Rezound
can somebody make audio codec or something that is equivalent to the sound of Windows Bass Boost Enhancement? it the settings are 50hz with 18db of boost. I find this to be very pleasing to the ear. I do have a rooted EVO 3D with beats audio and the bass just doesn't compare. the test song i used was Spitfire-Kill the Noise Remix By Porter Robinson(very bass heavy). so to recap could someone either make or link me to an app with controllable bass boost?
P.S. i have beats audio because i am using Leedroid's rom.
Poweramp ftw

Add the anthrax kernel and you'll hear big difference. Volume+ Is a great addition too.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
thank you everyone! to the guy who said use anthrax, i have no idea which file to download and when i did try to get one, it bootlooped my device so i had to reflash leedraoid which did not make me happy
Sorry about that problem. You first need to make sure you select the shooter or evo 3d (shooter) section. Then you need to determine cdma or gsm. Sprint is cdma. Also aosp version is for cyanogenmod or miui roms. I know it can be a little confusing.
I also want to warn you that some performance tweaks in roms can conflict with that kernel. You'll know if you get random reboots... But the sound improvements are incredible.

And this anthrax kernel is the right 1. However I don't know if it might conflict with scripts within the rom. Just sharing if you wanted to try it still. Make a nand backup before flashing just in case.

No it is named Volume+
Flash a ROM with DSP Manager installed. or push the necessary apk and libs to your existing ROM.
It contains a parametric EQ that allows you to boost the lower frequencies as well as all the others.
Yea, I would ditch the beats, go with dsp or power amp,
Volume+ just didn't do it for me.. I use power amp, im a bass head myself. In power amp, I turn of the limit and the tone part of the app. I use the sliders to get the sound I want...
Just the anthrax kernal alone with the beats drivers should make it sound better rather beats is on or not...
Shot from my sharp shooter in 3d
I would say PowerAmp is your best bet.
The app has a customizable EQ, with gain and pre-amp. It also has a nice little bass and treble knob to adjust it.
PowerAmp manages to let me crank the bass so high that I can barely hear anything else. Try it out?
Like they say before,I use warm and anthrax no need for anything else it sounds beautiful take it from me. I bought 20 dollars headset n man sounds unreal.

I didn't notice a difference either till I was in my sisters car and she commented on how much nicer my phone sounded that hers through aux. I didn't notice a difference in my car because I have subs and in car speaker performance isn't noticeable when you have subs blaring lol. We played a song in her car with my phone (same Google music app, equalizer turned off on both phones) then same song with her phone and mine was much cleaner and the bass hit a bit harder through her standard car speakers. It definitely made a difference. Eventually I put the same beats files on her phone and she loves it. She said before she couldn't turn it up too loud because it distorted her speakers. I believe it has more of an effect the louder you go and the quality of the speaker

But we have almost the same thing in settings - sound - media audio effects.
Or is it still better comparing with these? Or with equaliser in power amp for example?
I never tried it and don't believe it much.
Beats is overrated and just a name. Musicfx, dspmanager, and any other application equalizer does the exact same thing.

It is basically an background equalizer. And is nice for people who don't like messing with an equalizer or if my sister, who doesn't understand how an equalizer works. Its a good alternative and really only makes a difference at clearing the sound at high volumes. That's really its only benefit for an average user. Some market equalizers don't do this.
I also found a site once that deeply explain how the beats "driver" worked or compared and it was interesting. Not mind changing but it didn't explain how it is pretty much an equalizer but with a few built-in features only for beats. I'll look it up and post it.

I have the beats installed from the Rocco ROM i use. I also use win amp pro that has an eq so the sound quality is great.. I am sure with just the eq from the win amp it would sound great just the same.

I have been saying this for years now and no one listens. I use free "Equalizer" app from the Market, everyone loves it. And I have my $9.99 SkullCandy headphones and they are great!
Does anyone that flashed the beats audio know if the beats headphones with inline control work once flashed because i was looking at a set and didn't buy them because when i tried them the controls didnt work but when i plugged them into a phone with beats they worked.
Is there any other sound enhancer for motorola razr xt910 exxept beats??

I recommend either use Equalizer with +2 -1 +1 +1 +2 on the equalizer. If you want really good sound however, visit RockoDev's thread with the Beats Audio drivers, and flash the 6.27 version to your phone. The sound is very good, I would not recommend to use an Equalizer with this driver, it's already optimized.

thans a lot...i'll try that
I normally use some combination of stock audio effects (under settings >sound), dsp manager (copy to system >apps, change permissions to rw-r--r--) and the equalizer built into play music app. I play my music as loud as possible at work.

Get a headphone amplifier that has eq options if you want good sound.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
i use SK PRO Carbon... and i found best results using rock equalizer just changing the 10 KHz freq to 8 and 3 KHz freq to 7
I'd suggest looking at the output and the quality of the files you're playing back as well. Get a nice pair of headphones (audio technica, akg,beyerdynamics,sennheiser,etymotic) and a decent amp if you need it. Equalizers and other software effects can only take you so far in terms of improving quality.
Also look at the format/quality of your source. Try higher bitrate/lossless formats as they make a significant difference depending on the genre.
Personally i find the poweramp eq to be more than sufficient for my listening.

I installed BEATS audio yesterday, but still sound is far from ideal in comparison to my old Samsung Galaxy 3... I don't know... in Razor music (even FLAC) sounds to me like it's washed or like i am listening inside bucket. hehe...
A lot people says many good words about razor, but i am dissapointed personally with quality.
Headphones i use are Sennheiser hd202, mostly listening good quality compilations.
Does any one else feels the same or similar way as me?
p.s. I am using PowerAMP player
Try dsp manager....worka good on mine...

There are several types of sound effects in the stock firmware. Please review sound settings, perhaps several of them are enabled which distorts sound.

I have xt912 but sound is probably similar. I always hear hissing/static on every song.
Tried replacement phones, different headphones, to no avail.
Something in hardware or software is amiss.

This might be due to a physical damage to or lint in audio out jack, which is very common. Reviews didn't show anything particularly wrong with RAZR audio:

Has anyone noticed a loss of sound quality after switching from stock to an AOSP ROM and kernel? I've tried a few equalizers as well, but can't get that deep, clear sound that I felt I was getting on stock (with Beats disabled). Was there some HTC magic hidden in the audio drivers, or am I just imagining it?
I'm using the same headphones, music player and files; it's not a huge difference, but I feel like there definitely is one.

On Infected 2.9.1 ROM/Kernel and it sounds better than earlier versions of AOSP. I do notice a difference between the HTC Music app sound quality and others like Apollo or Play Music, so there may be some magic, but I think its software.

Yeah there is a difference, I just try to make the best of it tweaking DSP Manager. There are some other sound options to play with also such as the Viper audio mod.

It can be a little finicky to get working and you have to re-install this after any rom updated/changes.
