1. Go into CWM
2. Install File From .zip
3. Find the file in directory, select and flash.
That's it!!!

hmmm.... who is Dre?
Wow guys just because you either can't afford it or just aren't interested in audio don't hate on Beats By Dre.
I'm a Radio Production Engineer and can tell you from a professional standpoint that Beats headphones and software plugins are far superior to most other audio devices and DSP's.
The only other headphones I have heard that are on par with Beats are Sennheiser, Bose, or Shure.
I myself have some V-Moda Crossfade LP's, which I feel sound better than The Beats Headphones. So I'm not a Beats Fanboy by any means.
If the Beats By Dre sound is so easy to achieve using a simple DSP Plugin or setting, then go do it and release it.
It sounds better than stock sound and I haven't found any DSP setting that makes it sound that good. If you have those settings please let me know, LOL!!!

The problem with your standpoint is that it may be your unfortunate taste in music why you like beats. Truth is beats are actually horrible if you listen to anything but pop, or mainstream hip hop. & trust me, I'm definately not saying this because I can't afford them. Tell my klipsh image x10's that
I'd rather not have over flooded bass and poor mids & highs while listening to dream theatre tyvm.

Ahh. i see what you did there
All links were pulled to the download.
Beats by Dre, is liked by only those that like riding in a kewl car, and want to be gangster like.
No self respecting audio phile would want anything that getto. Flame on !
Guys I never said Beats By Dre was the best in the universe. Geez!!!
All I said was it sounds great on this device.
By the way I don't listen to Hip Hop or Pop as I'm not a kid, but can tell you from a professional standpoint that it's a decent sound compared to other DSP software out there.
I myself have some V-Moda Crossfade LP's, which I feel sound better than The Beats Headphones. So I'm not a Beats Fanboy by any means.
Once again, point me in the direction of a DSP or Plugin that will sound the same if not overpass the quality of this one.

I've just plugged in my headphones (which are pretty good) in my amaze for the first time since having Beats Audio (on NRG Rom today) and the difference I can hear is just some kind of melted sound that looks like some equalizing with a lot of bass as I expected since Beats headphones have nothing but bass to what I read, and a slight reverb effect which is really annoying to me since I am a fan of pure sound. Is there anything else in this mod that makes it interesting?
I just keep it disabled and I enjoy my Amaze more each day with all the ROMs getting better!
Thanks!

To enjoy TRUE Beats audio, you have to buy Beats headphones. But to me it doesn't make a difference
I consider it a gimmick, I thought it was a special sound chip or something, but it turns out its just a couple of files in the os. And beats headphones aren't that good anyway
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
nope, there's nothing all that special about it, just marketing. DSP does way more for sound then beats, hell, even the eq that comes with cloudskipper has better sound then what beats puts out.
Also, I'm not a fan of things like since its a beats phone, you need the beats headphones. That sounds alot like apple, and I hate apple for that!
PowerAmp shuts everything else down.
Beats audio on a phone is a glorified bass boost with a sexy logo.
But don't sit here and act like beats headphones are no good. They're not the best, but they dont cost as much as the best either. Kevin Durant isnt the best either... does that mean he's not very good?

I have to disagree a little on the last point, go a bit on audio forums and you will see quickly enough that the best point of the Beats headphones is their look. I tried the little ones, the cheapest model and the only thing it had better than the 5$ earbuds I can find at the Walmart is a big bunch of bass. As much distortion and sound denaturation (not sure this last is an english word...). Sure the bigger models are better but out of bass power (not bass quality) for the quality/price Beats by Dre are far to be a great deal, for what my ears told me and what I read.

What kind of music do you listen to? For my part I listen mostly to classical and progressive Rock so sound clarity and details is a very important point, which I think Beats are not better at than my Audio-Technica ATH M50 for about twice the price on eBay.

Cool, then if you got good ears the good beats might be better than I thought. Will read again about them some day. When I feel like changing my headset.
If I have the chance to try a good pair of Beats I will come back here to go further if anyone is interested. Audio is often a thing in which developers are interested. Probably because it is complicated at the first look

Sorry man Beats are definitely not worth $300.

Not to mention when your battery dies you can't use the headphones at all..

ALWAYS use a Tom with beats. NEVER use outside apps or other similar methods
Funny I actually was in a store testing some beats solo hd and they sound crappy, then moved on to the ludacris headphones, worse...then realised the song I downloaded was ****. Haha.
Used an old ice ice baby that was moved from disc to my phone and the beats one's sounded solid on my phone. Who cares if they are overhyped...no difference than Bose audio lol. They still get the job done and if you are a true audiophile then of course you won't buy beats, just like you won't buy Bose haha.
I remember back when cerwin vega was a speaker you could buy for your home, they didn't sound the Best, but you could play them all day long, loud, with no issues.
My Rezound with nils p sense 4 Rom sounds great on headphones. I don't have the beats headphones that came,with my Rezound but my wife's nexus ear buds sound good. Clean and plenty of volume.

I was just kidding. But if you're complaining about price you should be getting the overpriced plastic crap they call beats. For the sound quality you get out of those, they should be $40.
Hey guys
I am getting a deal on rezound. The one with iBeats included is like $30-$35 more than the one without.
I am not able to decide if I should go with the one with the iBeats or the one without. Any idea?
With ibeats definitely, best headphones I've ever had
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Personal taste I guess. I think they sound like absolute trash.
Edit: I guess I should clarify. They are bass heavy headphones, but they aren't your typical bass-heavies. They boost mainly mid bass (as opposed to low bass), and they actually suppress mids and some of the highs. They're very boomy, but it sounds like a muddy mess to my ears. There's no definition in the mids whatsoever, and the highs get lost in the mix.
I can kinda agree with strike. But with the right eq app ( power amp is what I use) it can be cleaned up nicely. And much better sound than your average cheap ear buds.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yea, but for $40, I'd rather buy a set of mid-range Sennheiser CX 300s or Kilpsch Image S3s. For the $100 the iBeats would normally set you back, I'd get a set of Shure SE215s.

if you are not getting them for free i wouldn't pay more for them. The build quality is trash im on my 3rd pair from HTC.
as shrike said you can get a better pair for the same price. Not worth paying more for something that was just added as a gimmick IMO
i to use poweramp and its the only way to make them sound less bassie.
It has taken me 7 months with this phone to slowly perfect the EQ in power amp to get the maximum audio quality from the iBeats.

Well, for me, my desktop over the ear headphone setup is too big to go portable, so I got IEMs instead. As long as you don't crank the volume up, i don't think they will do much damage. But back on topic, OP, if you get the headphones you linked, you might experience some clipping and distortion at lower volumes, if this happens, I recommend a portable amp, like the Fiio E11 or something along those lines. It will boost the volume, and make the headphones sound a lot better overall. :good:

Going to agree. I have a pair of beats solos and they don't even compare to my audio technica m50's even though there's a 70 dollar price difference. Beats being the $200 set.
I have the Motorola SD-10HD bluetooth headphones and they are red and black. They actually work very well and have controls on them so you can adjust volume and skip tracks.

I'd have to agree also. I bought that wireless beats by dre and used them for a week. They were good but after doing some more research I returned the beats (way over priced) and got the over the ear bluedio wireless headphones for $146. Much happier with them especially at half the price.
