Hello there. This is my first thread here. So I've got power amp and i was really wondering what are the optimum settings for the equalizer. I know it depends on personal taste but
please do tell me your current settings.

Rock EQ, 40% bass tone, 50% treble tone, 35% stereo x with limit activated.
Because I listen to rock and punk songs mostly.

Thanks downloaded, tried & uninstalled!
Volume + Does a better job IMO...
Haven't tried it for the headset, however for the speaker I found Volume + to be clearer and louder.
As far as headsets, haven't given it a try but Volume + works amazingly well with my Desire HD!
Any1 else have any input on DSP vs Volume +?
Yeah I have some input. Volume + is a totally different kind of app that has nothing to do with bass, treble or graphic equalizer. Volume + sets your ring tones, notification tones, etc. DSP manager is for making your music or video sound better, not making ringtones louder..

Thanks, I need to play with it some, but it's nice to have some control over the sound.

Went back and compared both once again (this time with a headset!).
What I noticed:
As you stated above, Volume + makes everything LOUD. In my ears that's a good thing, and why I choose to apply it to my loud speakers.
As for headsets... Volume+ is less customizable in terms of eq, however it still has a very commendable range of modifiers. I went with Volume+ in the end simply because it was simply louder whilst still maintaining clarity at lower volumes.
As for Bluetooth devices... don't use so couldn't tell.
At the end of the day... Listening to audio on the Flyer isn't so great... Lots of Hiss and distortion. Voodoo is MUCH better, unfortunately its only available on the SGS.
So... I will not be using the Flyer for listening to music unless absolutely required!
not to bad if you have a decent headphones
I use my flyer everyday to listen to music and podcast and its not that bad. A set of great headphones makes a huge difference. Got me an ATH-M50 using spotify and the audio is not bad. No lossless mind you but no hiss or cracks you speak of. Been wanting to make play with the equalizer but spotify doesn't give you much options. I think this is a great app for people who wants more control of the sound not just loud. However was thinking about getting a headphone amp for that. Fiio E11.
Running Jellybro 20120814 (maguro) and tried it with Spotify.
It did not work.
Still looking for an equalizer that affects the output not the internal Android API channels or what ever...
Any Idea someone?

No idea what you are trying to achieve based on your text. Did you try DSP manager?
Is there a better way to get better control of the volume. I find 16 steps in volume control from min to max is not enough. When I hit around 12/13 it goes from not loud enough to too loud for the headphones I use. Any apps to get more resolution in volume control?
Thanks
For me equalizer app increased my volume when adjusting it and made my music sound way better. I'm sure there's other Apps too.

Whats the best app and setting, know its plenty of other topics about it, so please link me to a good one
And i have heard its apps for getting the sound a bit better? if so what apps is recommended?
have you tried using poweramp? it has an equalizer which you could try tweaking
Battery Spy & Poweramp. Search the Market tho. YMMV with any app.
Battery Monitor + Poweramp
+1 for Battery Monitor and Poweramp
I find Power Amp lowers the default sound level .
personal use on a phone with good sound level is
MixZing player
Settings are equalizer on set to flat smooth off
with Vol + free app settings .
headset speaker on virtual room on
settings
EQ flat
Vol Level +3
Bass +2
Virtual room +4
Normal sound level in player is about 25% .

Battery Monitor + PlayerPro Music Player
+1 battery monitor/ playerpro
PowerAMP is eargasmic once you've had a play around with settings.
Disclaimer: My opinion is not liable if you damage your ears to awesome music quality over long periods of use!
louder sound through headphones - voodoo louder
Poweramp + Good earphones
Poweramp sounds great with the stock earphones (those that come in the retail box) and I guess it would sound even more awesome with a better pair of earphones.
Thanks for all the replies! The battery monitor, from who? Whats the author? It is multiple apps called "battery monitor" hehe. I will check out the different sound apps listed
Anybody know why powerAmp music players volume level is reduced when equalizer preset in changed to 'extreme bass' or 'soft bass'..?
actually I don't like dspmanager that's why am using powerAmp
I use player pro + dsp pack , that's amazing

because that's the way it's supposed to be.You can notice that even at your audio system home.If you can turn off the bass and you'll see that sound from other speakers will improve.
Anyways,I use power amp too,in my opinion it's the best.the volume reduces in order to not ruin the sound by adding pledges.You can turn off the limit by pressing limit button and move up the first channel from equalizer bar.Your sound will be very distorted.
Extreme bass and those things are especially for good headphones.It's obviously you can't feel the bass or something on a phone ))

Am using creative headset..powerAmp is an awesome player which have good equalizers and good looks
Experienced the same issue with my xperia zl...is there any fix for this
also would using an amplifier like FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier solve the prob
Sound in traffic is too pale and has no PUNCH in it
Flash the sound mod. Search around. It increases the stock volume levels.

I managed to increase it a bit from the the Sound Menu in Settings.
I used the Sound Enhancement and changed the equaliser sliders.
I also later install Player Pro and Poweramp. Both gave better and louder sound.
The equaliser had a preamp slider to increase
Fixed Xperia Z2 headphone volume -NO ROOT-
You can increase your headphone volume on xperia z2 dramatically,before i used this method my volume was constantly on 100% because it was too low,and now it's on 60% because it is too high and the best of all is that quality is untouched.This method is very easy...First of all download app called volume booster.Now your walkman settings should look like on the pics i uploaded before you start using the app (I hope they did im new on this site and im on my phone lol) ok so go to walkman/settings/ and do the SAME settings as i have on pics.When you'r done with that take your headphones plug them in play some song,go to volume booster and and move volume button in app from maximum to minimum and without releasing the button move it to the maximum(your button should barely touch the minimum sound so do it fast ---> From max to minimum without releasing than to the maximum and release button,you will hear sound like you do when you press volume up for call volume) if volume after that sound doesnt increase do it more times until the volume isn't VEEERY loud.I do it every time when listening to song it's not hard as it sound you will get used to it,it will pay off trust me Love my xperia z2 now ^^ (settings are in croatian but that isnt importnant just uncheck clear audio go to equaliser and max out evertything and turn on DSEEHX( CRUCIAL STEP)
Even simpler solution... Use viper4Android from here:good:
