[Q] Beats audio icon with other headphones - HTC Rezound

Just curious, I noticed my beats audio is 'enabled' and the icon is in the tray with my other buds, and my gaming headphones (using the music app). The deep bass is present as well.
Is that normal? I thought beats audio only was active with the actual beats headphones? Does it just turn on every time you use the music app?

Nope. Any decent headset even car stereos with aux

Beats audio enhancement becomes available when ever the headphone jack is used with a stock Rezound.

Yeap its an an audio setting that will work with any headphones or audio system through the 3.5 mm jack, its just that the sound profile is tuned to match the beatz headphone frequency range but will work well with lots of other brands. The jack doesnt tell the phone beatz are plugged, just that a line out is plugged in, just happens that Beatz tuned it to heat suit the exact range of their headphones.

Now if only they would enable it to be used with blue tooth Headphones.

Also i only works with the music app, wish it would also work with Pandora, but oh well! Makes me music sound great!

[Q] Low Bluetooth Volume

I don't know if whoever wrote the bluetooth stack for Android has Super Hearing or what.... With wired headphones, I have to turn down the volume or I'll blow out my hearing... But with Bluetooth, it's like a fscking whisper.
I have tried the voodoo sound, but apparently it only boosts wired headphones - absolutely not what I need! I listen to music over my stereo Bluetooth headset, or at least I try to. I usually give up in frustration.
Is there any hack/mod for the Vibrant that will allow an increase in BLUETOOTH volume?
Thanks!
Total opposite for me. My wired headphones sound terrible and tinny with no bass at all. Bluetooth on the other hand sounds fantastic. What type of Bluetooth headphones are you using?

Plantronics Voyager 855.
bump. I have a helmet with stereo bluetooth built in, I use it to listen to music and/or gps while riding the motorcycle. And I can't hear a thing once I get moving on the bike. On CM7 and Miui they have DSP manager and on my G1 there was the louder volume hack app.. but i can't find anything for 2.2 roms for the vibrant. I'd really like the ability. I tried adjusting the numbers under bluetooth in the volume section with the secret codes but had no success.
hi there, i have the same issue... i bought a motorola s10-hd and they sound good but very quiet...
On Bluetooth: I turn phone volume all the up then control volume via Bluetooth.
On Wire: REMIND MYSELF to turn down phone volume before wearing earphone. Sometimes I forget and OUCH my ears!!!
Anyone have a better method, please share.
Vibrant on Project-V + Bali-X 1.1
Volume boost?
I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.
Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?
I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?

[Q] Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Issue

So I'm having some issues with my bluetooth stereo headset. They're the Rocketfish RF-MAB2 headphones (Best Buy in house brand).
The headphones pair and connect with the touchpad no problems.
The problem is that when I try to use TuneIn Radio or iHeartRadio it doesn't recognize that audio is playing so it doesn't feed it to my headphones.
The weird thing...I have a drum kit app called 'Beat Box' and if I open that app while I still have TuneIn or iHeartRadio playing, it actually recognizes audio being played and I can hear it in my headphones.
It's kind of bizarre. Any suggestions?
my bt headphones work fine but I am having problems with the volume. Even when I plug my beats in the volume is much lower than when I use them with my phone. Weird because I thought the tp was optimized to be used with any beats by dre headphones.

Beats Audio

Hi, I can`t say that I`m a fan of beats audio but without it, the phone lacks a bit of bass impact, this is compared to an siii, ipod touch 3g and ipad 2, the volume is also very low without beats with the 4th notch equal to the first on the siii but that is fine since I like listening to my music softly. However whenever I enable beats audio there is a distinct increase in background noise that doesn`t really affect rock music but does classical and such. This is especially annoying in the gallery app where you cannot turn off enhancers but rather choose between htc enhancer and beats with the htc enhancer increasing bass to the point that everything sounds boomy and echoes. Does everyone have this issue with beats and if so how do we fix this?
TURN BEATS OFF ALWAYS.
Beats Audio is just essentially an EQ setting that is being hyped for marketing. To get the best sound, you need to do equalization based on your listening device, ideally at the amplifier, not the source. For example, audio will sound a lot different in your car than in your living room. So you want the source (the phone) to output a flat, unchanged signal, then adjust the EQ (or tone controls) on your car stereo or home receiver to make it sound best.
Now I'm guess you are probably talking about listening to music on headphones which is a different story, since the headphones don't have an EQ. In that case, just use a music player app (like PowerAmp) that allows you to adjust the EQ in the playback software. You could actually save different profiles: headphones, car, living room to switch between them. Problem with that is, then say you are watching a movie in your living room instead of playing music on your phone, then the movie may not sound optimal. That's why it's best to have the source material unchanged and do the equalization at as close to the amplification device as possible.
The only value of Beats is as a fashion statement for today's young people.

Dolby atmos & viper4

This refers to the eragon 2.8 rom that comes with both.
Should only one be used for best sound?
For years I have not bothered with anything like this as I used the poweramp app which comes with its own sound settings that I've been happy with. Can I get better sound using Dolby or viper?
What are your opinions on this?
Both drivers can provide a much better audio if you equalize them correctly.
I prefer viper because you can have a different profile for the speaker, headhones and usb/bluetooth.
With atmos, if you equalize correctly for the speaker, when you listen through the headphones it's messed up with a lot of bass and i end up turning atmos off and on.

Do you use the music player that came with eragon?
If you use a different music player app that has its own eq/tone settings, should I leave them flat/0?

I am talking about Spotify for music, speaker ok but if a play it in my car's bluetooth audio is a mess.
I noticed same behaviour with youtube in speaker/headphones (can't play youtube in my car yer )
I think best equalizer profile for the speaker has a 'U' form.

Bluetooth Audio quality & Enhancement

I used to use WIRED EARPHONES (SMILE JAMAICA) with my MOTO Z PLAY on 3.5mm jack.
Now i want to switch to wireless earphones for hassle free workout in the gym.
but the problem is Audio Quality of the Bluetooth audio.
1. Wired & WIRELESS earphones sounds same when played through any music player app, besides wired one is a bit louder.
2. but when I apply any EQ Enhancement, Wired earphones sound great & virtualization is amazing (i.e. output quality enahnces like 50 to 100) but Audio enhancements doesn't work pretty much the same with wireless earphones (i.e. output quality enahances only like 50 to 52) i.e. wireless earphones sounds like I'm playing 64kbps mp3 file.
Why it so? In developer option CODEC is SBC as earphones are only supporting SBC.
