so i did the beats thing to the htcmusic thing with the flashable zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194672
my question is what exactly is it doing because i havn't noticed a real change in sound as far as it being better louder or any other real change to the better.
i am using Bose ear-buds and the eq srs or no effect usually sound amazing i did notice it sounded better than the no effect and had more bass than the srs. also noticed if i switched from no effect to the beats there was no change. so just curious as to what exactly would be the benefit to the beats in the music apk. is this originally made for beats headphones that would be non-benificial for another brand name headphones since im to understand that beats or Bose i should see equal performance or better. at least this was my expectation. so pls don't troll i was i guess hoping for better sound quality if at all possible but quality is good just though it might get better.
I think u may need beats headphones

I want this, but odexed.
In the Synergy thread it says that with this mod, all headphones become Beats headphones. I had read a while back that it was just a software mod. HTC bought in to Beats and their upcoming phones will come with it.
My 17" HP Envy has Beats and honestly the sound isn't much better than any other laptops I've owned. BUT, when I plug in my computer surround speakers they do sound great.

Sadly this doesn't work with gsm evo 3d and I do have beats earphones!
can anyone update the zip for GSM EVO 3D? i wanted to decompile the apk myself but i got loads of errors...would appreciate it if someone can make an update
Haha, why would you need Beats headphones? That doesn't even make sense. They take the same audio signal that any other headphones take, they just do it at a price that is unacceptable.
This just changes the equalizers settings. Get cloudskipper and play around with the EQ, beats would be a bell curve or a V. Same thing.

It's just personal preference really but seeing the little beats logo makes me feel cool haha!
I've just updated to s.off and flashed leedroid to my evo3d. I got the music beats button and I do have a set of beats tour. I can't really tell any difference when using them. I liked the srs effect more. Can we get the old music player back? There aren't any eq settings. So might try cloudskipper or stick with poweramp.

Right. I don't even notice any difference -> even with beats headphones on
LeeDroid mentioned that the beats mod doesn't work properly for now.
Even if it does work, beats will make some music sound great and others, really terrible.
Any real audiophile will know one EQ setting does not apply for every music.

Until beats is fully ported and functional, on our devices, try poweramp music player from market, it has wide band graphic equalizer and pre-amp , here's the link, it cones with a free trial, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.unlock&hl=en

Ok, so I have tried three or four different roms featuring Beats Audio and absolutely detest it. It's nothing more than super duper over compression and turning it off makes everything sound even worse.
The catch is, I LOVE my current rom (hydra 2.1) , but use my phone in my car to often to just ignore it. Is there anything I can do to uninstall beats or is there anything that I can install that sounds at least as good as the stock rom? Thanks in advance

Beats sucks.
Get PowerAmp and set your EQ to your speakers for best sound
Anybody know what the Evo 3d signal to noise ratio is?
Poweramp here also. Let me tell you, the 3d kills the OG evo in the audio out dept.
I'm actually looking for something with a nice flat eq sound. I've been doing car audio and security for 19 years. While I understand that I will never approach cd quality, I just don't want super compression on everything any more than I already have to deal with from mp3.

I find Beats to be great. I think it comes down to what headphones you have. If you have cheap headphones, nothing will do miracles for those, but if you have mid-range headphones $30-$60, it makes quite the difference and I don't need to fiddle with anything.

Also to me 30-60 is a cheap headphone. The headphones I play games with are 350. No, I'm not saying I have a lot of money because I don't, audio is one of many main hobbies (below android of course)
I really despise beats products, they are WAY overpriced. You can find 60 dollar headphones that are better than beats. I hate that people get taken for their products...

you can download Equalizer from Market and adjust it so its just as good/better then Beats.
It is fairly easy to duplicate the beats sound by using PowerAmp and it's EQ settings.
I have a set of ultimate ears earbuds and they sound as good or better than beats after playing with the EQ for a while.
I do like how easy beats makes it however, when you can just fire up the HTC player, plug in the phones and off you go.

agreed, Equalizer works pretty good, I just have to remember to put it back on normal before taking a phonecall with the BT...
It's nice that it works for BT and headphones and slightly for the speaker.
I actually bought some beats over the ear about a month ago. I think it was the solo hds and they sounded amazing. I ended up returning them though to save up for this phone and these ibeats
Are pretty sick to. Just thought I would share my story with all of you. Lol
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. I be rocking them beats
I agree with equalizer, just try small increments at first, or you will have more distortion. The neutral quality of audio while playing with this is pretty good as is. It is much louder then most in my experience. So the EQ benefits sound quality even at higher volumes compared to other androids. As a start, 2-4 db increase at low and high end should be your max. You can go a little higher on this but not much.. But on other models, over 2-3 and you risk a lot of distortion because of lack of earjack power.

For beats I use Sense 3.5 or Bliss 3.5 by Xboarder. You sacrifice the GPS, Bluetooth, You can use hotsport with Android Tether and You also Sacrifice USB Mounting but you can use recovery. I use that one because it has the Notify that shows the Beats Logo when ever you play music. But if you don't mind having that then their is bulletproof which fully running i think.

He's not asking what rom has Beats Software but what rom supports the Beats Headphones. To answer the question, all roms support the Headphones, it's just a matter with volume. You may have to plug it the headphones tighter or something may be broken, because they work fine for me.
Could always try one of those portable amps for high end headphones to help with the frequency range

All audio is different, it depends on the device but even if they were very loud you probably shouldn't use them at that volume anyway. However if you want to id suggest testing all the roms with the beats hack and see which one you find the best. The roms I know of with beats software are Bulletproof, Senseless, Sense 3.5 Alpha 2, and Bliss 3.5 Alpha 1. They have it preinstalled just plug and play. You have to activate on the Equalizer for BP and Senseless.
How can i get the software where i connect the headphone and the beats logo pops up in the notification?

So you're saying that so far only the Sensation XE and XL are the ones capable of using the buttons for the Dre Beats Headphones? No rom has gotten the headphone buttons to work for them?
Audio volume is a common android complaint amongst iPhone switched people... I don't know if our android devices are running lower wattage amps or what but my amaze is waaaay better than my Alcatel tribe or my hd2 was..
Volume boost has only blown the speaker on my tribe thanks to the rediculous distortion levels... If you want louder buy a car...lol jks

Update on this subject
Thought I should update people on this subject.
I went ahead and purchased a pair of Beats, but the ones that would usually come with the Sensation XE. I also happened to have the Klipsch S4A headphones. In all honesty, I can't say there is much of difference with the audio. I'm using the BulletProof ROM and it does have an equalizer setting for Beats. It can be activated with both sets of headphones though. I will admit the Beat headphones are a bit heavier in bass.
This thread shouldn't be this complex with such a variety of answers. Sense 3.5 ROMs have true Beats Audio (unlike beats Audio hack from 3.0) DL a sense 3.5 ROM if you want beats. Although, DSPManager on Sense 3.0 works just as well

Beats Audio essentially IS an EQ (a bad one at that) that cranks your bass and highs, and muddles everything in between. Sound is pretty great with it turned off.
I have also found the volume on this phone to be annoyingly low though - no idea how to fix that one. Anything below "half" on the volume meter is almost inaudible.

The beats audio check box that appears when music apps play turns the Beats EQ on and off. I've got much higher quality audio equipment than Beats brand, personally I think it sounds horrible over my Alpine head unit in the car, but sounds ok on my Motorola Rokr S9s on the right song. On my home surround it sounds like crap, and my Senheiser head phones also don't seem to like it.
As far as the phones audio it self? Outstanding in general.

I like Beats Audio when I'm using my bluetooth motorcycle helmet to listen to music, but that is ONLY because it makes the volume on it a little louder.
Once I plug in my Bose headphones I instantly disable Beats, I don't listen to the type of "music" that was designed for and it makes what I do listen to sound like crap.
Even my teenage boys, that have the same phone, think that Beats is overrated. It is fine on some songs, but generally using something like PowerAmp, which gives you a lot of flexibility, sounds better.
Beats is a one-trick poney.
