no bass over bluetooth audio - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heys guys,
I'm using my Z2 with different bluetooth devices ... such as Sony SBH-52 or with my BMW car audio system. I've also installed Viper4Android, which is working really fine with my headphones and Rocket Player. But no matter what I do, I don't get any bass over bluetooth... I've raised the low level EQ to the maximum, enabled Viper Bass and set the Bass Boost Level, but nothing happens ... it looks to me like the frequencies are beeing cut off ...
Has anyone else had this issue?
just for info ... I'm on the latest stock rom with root and locked BL!

Bluetooth Headset with GOOD soundquality?

Hi.
Im currently trying a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 bluetooth headset, it works fine but there is a small static noise.
Does anyone know a BT Headset with really good sound without static noise?
Edit:
This thread can be deleted, I found out that the headset i have is fine and the problem was with the Touch HD settings.
Just checking you've tweaked your BT settings? Use Advanced Configuration Tool to set BitPool: Very high, Max Bitpool: 80, Min Bitpool: 65 (these are just settings I've read elsewhere- may not be optimal, but certainly beats the default). Turn phone volume to max and adjust headset volume as necessary - do you still hear the static? I've got a Motorola S705 which sound fine once I've applied the tweaks.
Yes im playing with the settings right now.
I got the music sounding really good but i still have some static when calling.
I think all bt headset will have some static at some point, may have to wait for bluetooth V3 for static-less.
Meanwhile I bought some Sony bt25nx neckstrap from Japan (AudioCubes) and can say they are very nice build and sound quality with lots of bass and a super long battery life oh and complete control of WMP and HTC Manila "Full Screen Player". Anyway every second post in this thread is about bt headsets, you should have posted in one of them.
As for me, I have recently bought the Nokia BH-504 headset and it works great with my Touch HD, with a great sound
I recently bought a Nokia BH-103 and the sound quality is awsome! No noise or anything else, just pure sound. Here's the Link This is a stereo BT InEar headset with call recocnition and also has a good takl/standby time. All over all I'm happy with it.
I use Sony Ericsson's bluetooth, HBH-DS970, with A2DP. It's really nice.

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.

Sound quality/equalizer

Hey all, just been playing with the equalizer settings with various apps (mostly Spotify and the in-built Samsung music player) and can't see that the 14khz setting are modifying the sound at all ? And fiddling with the 60Hz option just makes the sound thinner if anything. This occurs with all the wired headphones I try.
My Nexus 4 doesn't have this problem - 14kHz increases high treble, 60Hz add bass as you'd expect.
Anyone else have this ? Is this common to all Mega's, a problem with just mine ?
Bass boost not working
I also have this problem on the Mega. I can't get Bass Boost or Equalizer working in Pandora. I have tried a number of Bass Boost programs that work on other phones but don't seem to work on the Mega. Any ideas anyone?

Software for reading the sound profile (listen via TIDAL)

I am looking for a tool, with which I can read the sound at z2 and get an equalizer curve output. I hear about tidal with my z2. if I hear about tidal, no equalizer is active from the Sony. the sound is only output through the app and there are no tweaks etc. in the app tidal in connection with my z2 does not work EQ. I like the sound so well. But I would like to know if I can transfer the sound to my other smartphone, what has an EQ? As I said, there is no EQ active, or it does not cause any EQ on my z2

Best equaliser for rooted MIUI Global 10.2

I've just got a JBL Flip 3 bluetooth speaker but I need to EQ the sound from my phone as by default there's far too much bass and not enough mid-treble.
The EQ in Spotify is awful. It does all kinds of strange things across the spectrum when I turn up the mid-high frequencies.
The EQ in Poweramp is pretty good but that obviously doesn't apply to stuff I play in Spotify, Mixcloud, etc.
So I need a decent system-level EQ that will apply to everything and let me store presets for the speaker and my earbuds. What is my best option?
I'm sorted now. I installed Viper4Android legacy in Magisk and that works fine with everything.
