Want to get a get a background bass without Beats by Dr Dre or Mods? ( no application, apk, mod required)
Spending tons of money on Beats by Dr Dre? Having Problem modding audio mods which don't work? Come and give a try !
It's simple as 1,2,3. (Tested by me)
Step 1 : Open your stock music player.
Step 2: Go to equalizer.
Step 3: Select custom .
Step 4: Set it to the number on the bottom . (For equalizer , 5 4 2 3 4 5 6,)
Step 5: go to extended, (you can only set this setting when your headphone is plugged in) , Set to 1 3 _ _ 1 ( _ means no changes)
It works like magic. Hope i helped you.
(This works perfectly with audio mod, and it is not recommended for those cheap earphones/headphones. Decent ones will makes you feel good. )
i'm sorry but i lol'd out loud.
There is no way in the world an samsung EQ can sound as good or better than a beats headphone, offcourse beats by dre are no perfect headphones but DPS manager would be a 10000x better choice for an EQ to lift up your sound or cheaper headphones.
No disrespect or anything, you sure a contributing to forums and thats a good thing, im sure some ppl dont want to mod or have money for expensive headphones and are happy with your findings.

Tbh i lol'd out loud about your comment haha. Beats imo sound terrible. Too much emphasis on bass and using the beats headphones, it gets even worse. Samsung EQ can sound better but it's all about preference I guess. I like my highs and lows boosted a lot more than my mids for example. That's something I can achieve with a Samsung EQ.
Lol. I've already set my eq levels this same exact way. Glad I'm not the only one that wants a Beats type of sound. Now I use voodoo and its :thumbup:

Works for me, I hate Samsung only for the sound... it took me time to realize that when I increase bass i.e. the overall sound level DECREASES instead increases... so your setting works as optimum values for rich sound and no too much volume decrease.... I really hate it for this, it is impossible to listen to music in public transport (metro) because the volume level is too low, my HTC was soooo much better....

Instal any kernel with Stweaks ( perseus, redpill, adam etc) in settings its possible increase volume. If you want increase quality of sound instal acid v7 or viper mod and neutron player
Dre headphones suck big time. Lots of better choices. AKG being my favorites.
In any case, while I am not a fan of those super mods, the is one that can really get the most out of your headphone. The Vipermod Fx mods..try that one.

I think V-MODA is way better ....especially the M100
If it's something even remotely similar to beats, I'll just vomit. Muddy as hell, and just bass heavy. Hate it to death. Some of the solos are decent, but hate them for their price too.
i think sennheiser is best headphone. for example cx-400 precision or mx880
Feels gud

Nice cool tip. Thanks. But my Bose MIE2 headphones really does not match well with equalizers I guess They sound just marvelous by themselves! Better than beat 'em up
For those is complaining and whining about this suck , this is meant for a decent headphone /ear phone. Please do not try on cheap earphones. To get best quality , do a audio mod.
Really sounds better than earlier one

I have used the headsets from lots of devices for listening to music. I'm no audiophile so don't get me wrong but the Samsung supplied headset is AWFUL. Tried some apple headphones which sounded a little better some more bass.
My 5 pound phillips headphones sound the best lots of bass. Are there any audio tweaks to be done or is that as good as it gets?

I like the samsung headset a lot actually. You could use the built in equalizer on the stock Music app or download Equalizer from the market and just turn the bass up. Some people say that the 2.3.5 update sounds better, can't tell the difference to be honest.

i too think it's not too bad at all certainly better than than my old HTC one which wasn't very good,as you said if you download the equalizer app from the market and i use Power Amp the sound is quite good actually.
use ipod earphones..cheap and cheerful..
seriously though if you really want a good set of earphones go and get beats by Dr Dre..you can get good ones on Amazon and at a reasonable price
I've been considering for a while to buy a good headphones and I've decided to buy an audio technica ath-m50. The only thing that is bothering me is the yamaha audio chip. If I buy those headphones, I'll be using them most of the time on my sgs2.
Will the yamaha chip make the ath-m50 sound like a cheap low-end headphone?
If you happen to own an ath-m50 I wold really appreciate it if you could measure the hollow of the earth cups, diagonally and horizontally maybe. I've read that people with large ears may find them uncomfortable. The length of my ears are just below 7cm(I don't care, they are small, my mum told me that)
I've read supercurio's analysis of the audio chip but my question still remains.
Waiting eagerly for any response.
Get an iPod nano- excellent sound quality and a great price. I hate using my GSII for music though Poweramp is a great app

Well, if you really want to use a pair of high end headphones with the galaxy sII, get a portable amp like i did. I got a fiio e7, and it powers the ath-m50just fine. Listening to them straight out of the GSII audio jack wont let them utilise their full power. And dont get an iPod if you want really high quality audio. :-/ (Just a suggestion )

It simple buddy take your handset into a store that sells these headsets and test the thing in house.

I've thought of this, the only problem is finding a store that sells the audio technica ath-m50. I live in London I'm sure there is plenty of stores.
However this would not be much help because I'm not very experienced with high end headphones, so probably almost anything will sound good to me.
If you want to listen to boom boom music with heavy bass then the SGS2 is inadequate .Expensive headphones are not going to do that much .
However as a user who does not have any boom boom music i find stock player headphones or slightly upmarket low end Sennheiser headphones fine .
Power Amp for me strangely lowers sound output level .

I've the same experience as JJEgan with Power Amp. It seems to boost dynamic range at the sacrifice of overall volume.
For getting the best out of high-end headphones, you could always try Neutron Music Player from Android Market. It claims to use its own "32-bit audio music rendering core", although it's debatable whether this makes a difference, given that uncompressed CDs only have 16-bits per sample. People seem to like it, though.
Just recently I noticed something when listening to music using Poweramp with a headphone.
When you click on something such as the app drawer, the volume of the music that you are listening to increases for fraction of a second then it goes back to normal.
It can be very annoying when you are using the phone while listening.

Tried Neutron at the weekend, and these old ears couldn't see - OK, hear - what the fuss is about. No difference from Poweramp with a very unscientific ABX on my Sennheiser IE8s.
Definitely the worst UI I've seen on any music player though - so hideous that it should win awards.

Senn HD25-1s and Ety ER4-Ps both sound fine straight out of the headphone socket.
Using poweramp, without any eq or tone control tweaks, just ~30% crossfeed.
I read all the reports of crappy audio on the GS2, so when I got mine and tried it I was very pleasantly suprised.
Whereabouts in Poweramp settings is crossfeed...Didn't realise Poweramp supported it ?

Hi, question is simple, it's galaxy S2 audio So crappy that it isn't worth the moving from i9000 to i9100?
1)I'm not an audophile, but it's really THAT noticeable the audio quality diference between those two?
2)Does supercurio's "Voodoo Louder!" makes sound S2 sound loud as S1? or S1 is still louder than S2?
(I know that louder doesn't mean better quality, but this question is different from first)
well, that is all
I think it's absolutely fine. I'm not a music snob either. I haven't tried Voodoo Louder so I can't comment, but I can say that I've noticed a HUGE volume boost since I've moved over to MIUI. But yeah, the sound is fine, bare in mind that I've never used a SGS though.

I tested on first purchase with both phones .
No difference .

My S2 is loud at 30% volume 50% is to loud .
The defining point for many is relatively simple SGS2 not so good at the low end .
So if you listen to boom boom bang bang extra bass stuff its not that good .

Hi. I got an SGSII and i also have Beats By Dre Headphones. The sound quality is amazing with PowerAMP, some EQ tweaks. I installed Beats audio but that was bad. It sounded cheap. Lower bass and the Mids & Highs were bad as well. I restored the stock Audio which is amazing for me.

Grrr. Beats only "makes a difference" if you don't know how music is suppose to sound and enjoy over-mastered music normalised to 99% so "it sounds good" to the masses. Or you're one of the annoying ones which put 2 x 500W subwoofers in their car (but they'll go deaf by 25, so that's ok, just cleaning the gene pool).

The soundsignature could very well be described as muddy with overbearing low end even more than the studios already had. [...] the beats fell short no matter what I tried.

On topic: the sound quality of the SGS 2 isn't bad, but not spectacular either. It really depends on your expectations; if you expect it to sound as a 1000$ hi-fi device, then search somewhere else. As you're listening to music on a *portable* device, you'll have external noise anyway; better get a pair of quality in-ear headphones (with good insulation); this will allow you to reduce outside noise and keep the volume down (so you'll still have hearing when you get old).

The SQ is worse than my £30 Sansa Clip... It's acceptable, but no more IMHO. For "serious portable music", I stick with my S9 and Senny IE8s. Just use the phone for music for trips to work. YMMV.
It definitely depends upon your music .
How its coded and what format .
SGS2 is not very good with boom boom stuff as its weak at the low end .
Sound level does vary on phones ( or we have a load of deaf users ) their are a number of apps that may help .
Stock phones or Cheapish Sure or Sennheiser sound level at 30% and no problems on my phone .
Tweaked very slightly with Volume + free app and Visang RO2 IEM for slightly better overall natural timbre .

Beats audio makes a difference with high end headphones like the beats ones.........AS THEY ALREADY HAVE IT....BEATS AUDIO IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR THEM TO MAKE MUSIC BETTER....nobody is saying that you hook up your phone to a sub woofer.........
Yep Beats are high end/quality canalphones alright Muddier than CX300's.
hi guys i find the xperia s volume low even at max when i listen to music on the headphones. i have installed many different apps such as volume+ to make it louder and have the dre beats file also installed but it still isnt loud enough for me. i have also flashed the AC!D files but i am still not satisfied. i love volume to be extremely loud on headphones to the point where your ears hurt a bit. so if there are any files you guys can recommend that i can flash or whatever to make the headphone volume super loud that would be awesome! thanks in advance
Loudspeaker on this particular device is apparently low than any other. Me myself faced the problem after i purchased it. U really cant do much with it coz apps/mods can only tweak the hardware to it's highest potential. If so, u might need to open it up and change the speaker. Now will u do that? .. Guess not. Btw, try using stock apps before u try any mod like AC!D or so and if can, do buy the sony smart headset. I bought one and its extremely loud with clear bass and sound. Music turns awesome in this pair of headset =)

You realize you only get one pair of ears and you'll have to spend the rest of your life with them? How about turning the volume a little less high but being able to enjoy it longer. I understand where you're coming from, I used to be 16 as well. But if you ever get permanent tinnitus, you'll curse yourself thinking about stuff like this.
But being the helpful guy I am: are you using proper headphones? With my headphones I can easily hurt my ears with the volume on maximum. Either you're using headphones with a low output or you've already damaged your ears. Don't use the stock headphones because those always are rubbish. I use Philips earplugs but in-ear earplugs might go louder. Good sound quality costs a bit. You can also use the stock equalizer to bump the audio volume a bit, just put all the sliders on top.
AC!D will work the opposite of what you want, it'll make the sound less loud but with higher quality. At least that's what I've read about it. Personally I think the Xperia S has the best sound of any smartphone/mp3 player/discman I've ever used without messing with mods, just the equalizer. The call volume on the ear speaker is too low though, not usable in loud environments. Putting the phone in just the right way above your ear helps, but I often have to move to a quieter spot.

open with root explorer system/build.prop and find phase not sure exactly but like this "ULP low power audio ........." and just after that down you will see that this option is set to =1 it means its enabled so set it for =0 and you will have some better/louder sound and even with AC!D and all when this stay ON it just block all other i find it on my Xperia U on ICS and i think that you have this in build too,heheh HIT THANKS IF I HELP YOU
Hello all,
I just flashed ACID audio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923630) because of the rave reviews that it gets, and everything went smooth on CleanRom 3.5. I chose all universal options instead of Samsung, because I didn't see the N2 listed. It installs the ACID audio notifier, and when I plug my headset in, it shows that ACID audio is working. However, I forgot to actually listen to music on the N2 before I installed ACID audio to do a comparison .... does anybody know if you can turn ACID audio off and on to do comparisons? I don't see an option anywhere. Yeah, it sounds pretty good. But it's hard to tell how much it actually does without a benchmark.
FWIW, I assume that ACID audio universally affects sound from all apps, including Spotify, which is where my I listen to my music (as opposed to their Walkman player or what not).
Thanks a ton!
In my honest opinion, as a fledgling audiophile and not knowing ACID: Unless its hardware amplification, its not worth it. You need both good amplification and good headphones.
I noticed a HUGE sound quality difference while I was running one of the few custom roms. But something else I noticed is that when I have had audio quality drops its usually been running custom kernel as well.
So you may end up needing to flash a new rom if yiu can't disable the audio boost. I think the Note 2 drives on ear headphones well so I think anything except full sized headphones should be fine sans amplification

Okay so I have spent the last hour installing pretty much everything from the ac¡d page and came to one conclusion...
They do little to nothing on this phone. I tried every add on and combo you could. the only thing that did remotely anything is the noozy addon and it wasn't much.
I got pretty much the same quality sound by going into the stock player and adjusting the eq...(main thing is taking the clarity slider all the way up)
Now the reason may be that I'm running an aftermarket kernel. Who knows ...but I have uninstalled everything and am back stock. I truly don't think everything installed as it should. I think there is supposed to be more just from reason the op.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies guys; I guess I'll keep it the way it is now. I know on the DNA it made a noticeable difference, but maybe that's just hardware?
i think this device running perseus kernel is nothing short of amazing! i had to turn down the amplification in stweaks but man the speaker sounds amazing for a phone.
i know this is a bad comparison but we compared you tube vids lastnight between a older iphone and my gn2...l it was like comparing a old am radio to a hifi home theater system!

No I completely agree. .. I've used stweaks audio tab and the built in eq in the stock player to make it sound amazing (main speaker and phones) even when hooked to my truck which has a full blown 1600 dollar aftermarket stero system in it, I can cancel the eq in there cause the sound coming out is right.
So the acid audio maybe be working but the sound is already right and it doesn't seem like its doing anything..
Just attached my son's Darth Vader headphones (oh yea thats how we rock it out) to my Note and I am blown away as I listen to Slaughterhouse - My Life and the bass is amazing for some Walmart kids-phones. I think the audio stock is pretty good. I tried beats on my Fascinate and I really didn't see wut the fuss was. Any who just my two pennies loving this phone with my Vader-phones!
