I have installed Beats audio recently using CWM but i did not like it so i restored the original audio. The sound quality was held back not to cause distortion and on expensive devices such as Bose and Beats it sounded cheap with low bass. Now i use PowerAMP with stock audio engine SGSII which is quite awesome with the EQ tweaks.
What are your thoughts of Beats Audio?

Placebo.

Also it is not legal to put Beats Audio on any device as HTC wanted XDA to remove it as it would be property theft.

Beats audio works well with high end headphones like the ones sold by beats....well it should play well on expensive devices like Bose....but after all its just a port...beats audio was never designed for devices other than htc so it might cause some problems...or may be less good than the original beats audio found on htc phones
remove beats audio

Is there any MOD for enhancing sound for XPS, I am missing the bass effect with the headphones.
It would be great if someone developed a MOD with SRS.
I don't think XS need any sound MOD cause it have a great sound and specially the bass.maybe you need to change your headphones.

Get an amp.

use equalizer setting in stock music player!!!!
Same as comments above. You may try stock music player or poweramp. Both of them have equalizer
After reading loads. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the mods and stuff.
So can anyone examination what's the best way to make the sound quality better?
There's loads of bits from the voodoo side of things or the beats audio I'm not sure..
However I am a audiophile and would like the best sound and also more volume.
Thanks in advance

Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB more volume with headphones/headset, Voodoo Sound doesn't work with SGS2 as the Yamaha DAC isn't compatible with it. Best bet is to get a decent audio app with EQ/bass boost/widening/etc.
Other than that, a decent set of headphones/canalphones should make the sound 'acceptable' tho not as good as a phone with a Wolfson DAC like the Galaxy S (or so people say).
try some pro headphones
use voodoo louder
use dsp manager
I'll be buying voodoo louder tomorrow. I test the quality on a pair of sennheiser HD650s into a Neco Soundlab custom headphone amp so there's no issues there. :-D
So I take it that the beats audio mods don't work at all?

Some say Beats works well while others say it makes no difference at all. Could be a placebo effect but not sure. Read the Beats thread here on XDA's Gslaxy S2 forums or make a backup and then try for yourself

the beats audio mod is nothing but a equalizer setting
try power amp in my experience it gave the best audio quality

+1 for PowerAmp in terms of best audio quality. Better than the other apps I've tried. Also using Voodoo Louder which does not affect quality but does increase volume in headphones by 1.5, 3.0, or 6.0 decibels.

Hope this helps. Try DSP manager then Volume+ app.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY
Ok this is what I'm doing. On my neat rom I have installed beats audio and so far WOW I can actually hear the sound stage and the bass is way better. I will buy voodoo louder tomorrow and put it on the resurrection remix rom and see if I can indeed hear the difference.

Ok so I've ended up putting both voodoo louder and beats on both roms and they both compliment each other and now the music is amazing! So if you want good sound quality do that. It works for me

Meh I don't touch EQs or dsps because all your doing is coloring the audio I've found with beats and voodoo louder and my sennheiser mx500s when I'm out or HD650s when I'm indoors both are excellent

And Beats audio does what exactly ?
I have a marketing slogan for Beats audio:-
"Beats Audio - for people who can't tell the difference between a 32kbps MP3 & a FLAC with their ears !".

PowerAmp is the way to go, thx everyone, is IE6 good for the s2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I use Beats, PowerAmp ( Flat EQ settings ), and extweaks ( to jack up the db on the headphone socket same process as vodoo louder I guess) and a pair of Sennheiser IE8 earphones which has a very nice 16ohm Independence
is there a functional beats audio port for ics yet? any mods with this notification from beats audio?

Better sound ? That's a matter of opinion. Beats Audio - For people whose ears can't tell the difference between a 30kbpsMP3 and a CD.

Exactly. My $300 Beats sound 10% better than my $15 Sony earphones
Want good sound? Get Bose or Sennheiser

Yes It will make it better and it will improve the sound of your BEATS not speaker but you can customize it using the appropriate app

so there is no mod WITH notification? and are these also working with non-beats headphones?
the title says it all
the title says nothing to me.
sound mod?
you need an Equalizer? need more basses, better volume?
Yes, there is a sound Mod. In the development section. I advise not to use and sound mods. They are just equalizer and nothing more. If you want more volume get a headphone amp. Merry xmas!
