Beats EQs the bass. Makes music boomier. I'm not sure it works with Bluetooth devices cause it doesn't with my plantronics 855. If u have headphone jacks you could use, try using them then disabling beats in notification to hear the difference.

This phone rocks!
Being a musician for more than 12 yrs. I also have worked with several Eq and soundboards. I got to say Beats audio definitely sounds outstanding!
I really enjoy this phone. Best phone I ever owned period.
Beats is awesome. My EVO LTE is a Beast.

Depends on what I'm listening to, sometimes its great other times "Classical" & "Dance" are more fitting EQ settings.

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.

Where do you navigate to in the phone to adjust the eq settings. Is it even possible to adjust the eq settings?

You're a musician and you think Beats Audio is impressive?? An EQ that cranks the bass and makes it boomy and muddies all of the mid-range? Eh, I think the DAC on this device does a great job in general, but Beats screws it all up. On a high quality set of speakers, tell me that turning Beats OFF doesn't help the sound quality and balance.

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.

Ill tell ya, Beats does help with the loudness of the music in my car via Bluetooth. Im just trying to figure out what kinda Headphones i wanna get. Not expensive of course. Just something to listen to a litle music, and some Podcasts...Any suggestions besides Beats headphone?

Im not as as technically incline as some of the guys replying to this post but only know that with my jaybird freedoms there louder and clearer then my e4gt and wayyyy louder then when i had my 3d. Only other time ive compared beats audio to anything else was car shopping. I test drove a new chrysler 300 with beats audio and thought it was really nice well i bought a 11 hyundai veracruz and that infinit audio system smashes hat beats audio one and my gfs alpine in her lincoln

This. I listen to bass heavy music (dubstep, electronic generally) on a pair of ultrasone DJ1 Pro's. Adding the beats audio makes everything rumble more than it needs to, especially with FLACs

[Q] evo 3d beats

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

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.

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

Does anyone else think that Beats Audio sounds terrible?

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 set my trucks EQ to 0 on bass and mid. Use the country preset in HTC music app (because I am q hick). I set my treble to 2-4 depending on the song. 5 is highest setting.

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.

Just use audio manager or dsp manager, way better imo.
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...

Quick question, have the new roms with Beats Audio been able to do the Beats profile through Bluetooth or only through regular ones? Not sure if it's possible, but I can only do it through my regular headphones on the Hybrid+ rom.

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...and Equalizer has preset widgets, so switching it up is easy.
I froze beats on my rezound.
Htc released the api's for beats audio codec so it's up to the app developers to incorporate it. Pretty soon main stream apps like Pandora will have it I'm sure

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.

Beats audio....

I am New To Beats Auido and it does sound great... But my speakers seem quiet.. The ringer and notifications need to be brought up more... I have been look for some kind of eq or Something (yes I did check.. All the volumes are up!).
I would. Just. Think that with beats audio I would get a app like voodoo....
So is There a. Beats audio app or am I going to have to wait. For a. Kernal and voodoo???

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.

Beats audio. Toooo loud on DNA on a bad way.

I love loud music and crazy bass on my one x+ its ****ing awesome. On the DNA isn't as clean as the one x+ no way u can go all the way up. Not even close. Start distorting quick. And I use the beats mixr. Which they perform amazing on my one x+ by adding that extra amp power for the headphones I think it kills the good sound bass not clean. Anyway. Not to bad. I'm sure you'll have different opinions

You are giving to much output to your source unit/headphones. It isnt the old oneX/evolte beats amplifier built in. It's a newer higher output beats amp. Which will sound better on high powered 16ohm headphones.

That is interesting to hear considering by all reports the One X (international) and One X+ have lower audio quality then Qualcomms solution (One XL, GS3 USA, etc).
One would assume that with the added amp quality would be even cleaner.
Could you confirm the bit rate of the file your using?

My mistake,I have not heard the one x+. But I can confirm that when my EVO lte volume is up all the way,and a friends DNA volume is up 70% they are almost equally loud holding sound quality at the same time. However blasting the output on the DNA seems to have poppy bass like a blown speaker with apple/Sony ex58 earphones. Now with ultimate ears metrofi (low models) it doesnt distort, so I am puzzled and not sure if its an extended EQ or just a crappy chipset. Hopefully its just a software issue because i am leaning towards this device

I'm sorry to say, its not the audio drivers or hardware on the phone, it is absolutely your headphones.

If you don't want to break the bank on headphones that have the oomph or prefer earbuds instead, I would reccomend the skull candy FMJ. With the power of this phone the fmj's are a perfect match.

I just tried my Butterfly with Monster Nokia Purity and was quite impressed with the sound. I'm glad they have enabled the Beats profile for other headphones...
Only problem now is that I have the white Butterfly and blue headphones... what to do...

Yeah this phone will crank with any pair of headphones or line out that I use... Even my crap ibeats that came with my rezound, even though the left one crackles and they're on their way out.

Pretty sure that anything with a Beats logo is horrible sonically...so yeah, there's that.
As for the issue of volume...when I use my ear buds or full sized cans, the DNA sounds quite a bit better than the HTC 8x I have. Compared to my old One X, they are about the same volume wise. All of them distort at high volume...that's just a limiting factor to the amp itself...and the overblown bass that goes along with that Beats logo.
I would have to say it is the headphones.
Audio sounds amazing on my ATH-PRO700's I don't get any distortions of any kind

I definitely get distortions or at least noise on the DNA. Try listening to something that has both loud and quiet parts, and you can hear a hiss when it's quiet. This is with beats turned off (beats is another layer of distortion at least for me).
