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

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 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.
Here's a flashable zip for DSPManager. I've confirmed it working on HTC's player. It works along side beats just fine without conflict for screaming bass! Feel free to report any issues but it should be an error free experience.
Update : originally it was posted that this worked with google music however HTC player is the only confirmed player. Sorry for the confusion. Also for some reason audio effects drop out when using Car app.

It's version 1.0 and was originally developed for cyanogenmod. The app is the same one you've seen in custom roms, but quite frequently the audio libs aren't configured properly and create a conflict so DSPManager doesn't work as intended (sound effect settings don't do anything). This zip contains proper reference to the sound effect libs for correct functionality.

That's exactly what I use it for, only try it with subs...amazingly clean bass. My subs would not even perform at the level they do without this app. I don't listen to cd's anymore because nothing can top the quality of sound I get from using the app with the phone over bluetooth.
I prefer to drag and drop the files. Besides all the files in system, would I need to drag anything else? Tried and it refuses to work with beats. Am I missing something? I'm on OMJ newest 4.04

Which enhancements are you using that you are confident aren't working? Have you enabled bass boost? Are you using headphones or larger speakers? Beats turns on automatically when using headphones or bluetooth, this package doesn't restrict that feature. The package flashes DSP as a system app but it should work fine as a user installed app too and yes you can push the proper files to each specified system folder. All that is required is a reboot for the files to have an effect.
Works great in my latest Rom!

The difference in bass sound even for high end headphones isn't always that recognizable. If the other outputs are working it means they all should be, at least I haven't encountered an issue where only headphone effects don't work. Did you test the equalizer? Put all the settings in random positions and the sound should change radically to confirm the settings for that output are working. I suggest the equalizer for bass if indeed as you say there is absolutely no change when using bass boost.

What can I do to get the equivalent sound to Beats Audio in a CM Rom? I really want to stay on CM but I use my phone as mp3 player and the sound is just too low for me when using my headphones. Yes, I have cheap headphones but they sound really good when I'm using a Sense Rom with Beats Audio. I realize some will say it's just an EQ boost but I can't seem to replicate that in CM or find a replacement. I use Poweramp and I realize it has an EQ settings but doesn't seem to boost the audio enough for me. I like my music loud! LOL

P.S. another tip that might help you volume wise is on Poweramp if you go to your EQ screen the setting all the way to the left is your Preamp level. You can try turning it up as much as needed until you reach the volume you're looking for(hopefully without distortion).

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.

Before starting with adjustment,
We need to choose correct output.
Which output we want to adjust.
There are three outputs to choose.
Built in speakers, line out (i.e wired headphone), wireless output(i.e Bluetooth headphone).
Hear it with correct output, while adjusting/setting the desired sound processing style.

I got it working on my HTC one max by uninstalling the "music enhancer" service/app with titanium backup. It force rebooted the phone, and after that, it works as native audio on everything! If you try this, make sure you make a nand backup... Did that about 8hours ago and haven't had any problems yet. Even have v4a audio on phone calls...
Poweramp is the best music player for Android hands down with a full 16-band equalizer
