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

Yea I've been testing them against my regular Sony's. I'm too cheap to buy beats headphones so I wanted to compare while I had them.

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

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.
Sorry if this a dumb question. I know the phone has beats audio built in but heres my question. When i jog i use my jaybird freedoms which are bluetooth headphones. What is it u should be doing/noticing to maximize the beats audio feature?

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.
Sent from my EVO LTE
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
Hi,
I have beats by dre and the buttons that came with the wired are similar to the Samsung headphones. What I mean by that is that they both feature volume up and down and the button for switching tracks and answering calls.
However, my problem is that the button in the middle for switching tracks etc works but the volume up and down don't?
Is there a solution for this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah.... Just burst it open and switch the small cables until it works then screw it back together again. OR you could cut the wire on both samsung earpiece and beats, just switch them around so you got samsung buttons with beats headphones attached, simple!

It's not a problem exclusive to beats though, i think many 3 button headphones have trouble working with android devices. Maybe if you'd care to share a pair that work without problems, the OP would consider them if the issue is bugging him that much, telling him to 'buy proper headphones' doesnt really help him.
I have beats also and the volume up and down buttons dont work, but it's not a major issue for me. I downloaded
Headset Button Controller from the google play store, it allows you to control everything using just the single button (double tap skips to next track, triple tap goes to previous track etc) works well..

My cousin bought those, the sound quality is extremely poor.
Flat and tinny, bass is non existent.
For that kind of money you could get high quality headphones.

When you buy beats 99% of the price is for the logo.

I've got the Pro's and they're really good! Not saying that for the same price you don't get way better one's, but they are really good for trance music. I would have got something else instead, but they were a gift.
Got the same problem with the 3 button cable. Also the mic is not working properly, making funny issues.
I just use the simple cable with no button.
I have been looking for a adaptor from iphone made headphones to others, but none that work for the s3...

Yeah they're good for the price. Its pretty hard to distort them. I think if you Mix poweramp, full bass and any Hybrid track though, you're in trouble. But they do me.
Bit gutted, got up on the bus, caught the chord on the seat and ripped the left out of my ear. Must have strained the connection as the left is only 75% volume compared to the right
Beats is a marketing gimmick
thanks
so yeah. when i plug my earbuds that work with anything else, sound only comes out one ear (left spicifically) ... with beats on AND off.
i use beats tour earbuds... not sure whats happening as this is system-wide, not just poweramp.
Um, are you pushing the headphones in all the way.

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

My opinion. Both call and ringer volume are more than sufficient.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.
