[Q] beats on speaker

Is there a way when we get rooted to mod beats or the eq settings used for the speaker to use the beats eq settings cause the rezound to me the speaker is not that great or loud. My incredible had better speaker.
I would have to say No. With the EVO 3D the devs always mentioned that it wasn't possible to enable Beats thru the speaker. But I'm pretty sure its only possible thru a headset. Even with root. Sorry

Lol you really think Beats is going to make a tiny speaker in a phone sound good? It's going to sound like crap by nature. Hell, with the way Beats emphasizes lows and mids, it'll probably sound worse than without!
Raising the lower frequencies using the program Equalizer from the market makes the speaker sound fuller, and better, although not really louder. (the bass boost feature makes it much quieter, if you try it just use the EQ portion of the prog only)

More bass up in this piece!!!

Love this phone, but I need more bass pumping from it!. God Smack, Se7endust, Rush, and yes fu**kers, ADELE!, sound like $h¿t without good bass. Deep punchy bass makes me happy. I've been using the paid version of Volume+ but that's as useful as a screen door on a submarine. If anhbidy knows of something better, please share. No pirated apps please. Only legit. I have no problem going to.market an paying for it.
Please, let's not turn this thread into a N©©B salad. Thanks

Poweramp. That's the one to get. But, considering the speaker is smaller than half of a dime, I doubt you'll ever get punchy bass yet alone deep....

I guess Beats Audio is not an option?? I also use Poweramp and LOVE it! DSP manager is also a beast!

If youre really serious about your bass, I recommend a portable amplifier. I picked up the Fiio E11 and it blows my mind every time.

Poweramp is going to be a wise choice.
What are you settings on the other equipment you are using? Might adjust some crossovers
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
What headphones are you using?
I also agree with VinceG. If you really want some good sound, you should consider a portable Amp/DAC and some good headphones.
Are you sure it the bass that's making that music sound awful? But yea, power amp is really good. Also a good pair of over the ear headphones will help a lot.

The best earbuds for me I've found are the ones that come with an iPod Touch. Those things are great.
As for music, PowerAmp has never let me down.
Good Luck.

If this APP would work..
I purchased these headphones when my old in ears died that I had used for over 2 years, and they came with a app that let you control the sound to your liking.
[link to headphones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...adphones+and+Accessories-_-Klipsch-_-26779026 ]
[link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outsidesource.klipschcontrol&hl=en ]
You might try the app with your current buds. It might be what your looking for. I would uninstall any apps that affect sound you have installed.
Is there really such a thing as deep bass from earbuds? Regular headphones with sizable drivers yes but earbuds?

Actually, yes.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD600's which are over the ear 'studio' headphones, when I bought them, they were priced at $600 and were the second best set sold by Sennheiser (the best set went for $2500). Currently, the HD600 set is now the third best set, beat out by the HD610's.
All of that to say, I have a pair of Sennheiser earbuds that perform nearly as well as the HD600's (again, priced currently in the mid $550 range), but the earbuds are priced at I believe $450 retail (the ie80s).
If you have a tendency to loose earbuds however, the $450 set is a bad choice. Buy a cheap set and learn to keep control of them before you make that kind of investment.
You get what you pay for. Buy cheap, you get cheap. Sennheiser headphones (the higher end ones in particular) not only have the capability of putting out the bass, they are well balanced, not overly bass'y' just to be 'cool'. You get a very accurate sound reproduction out of them and I recommend them highly.
Earbuds do not put out the bass by them self, they use your ear canal as a bass reflex hole. You need to be careful when using earbuds for this very reason, they seal your ear canal and use the pressure created by the sealing to create some pretty impressive bass.
IE-80s ($450)
http://www.sennheiserusa.com/in-ear-earbuds-headphones-ie-80_504771
IE-60s ($250)
http://www.sennheiserusa.com/earbud-headphones-ie-60-in-ear-sound-fashion_504769
adidas CX 310 Originals ($100)
http://www.sennheiserusa.com/earbuds-headphones-stereo-noise-cancelling_504688
The IE-80s can have the amount of bass adjusted in each earpiece by using a small screwdriver and the headphone wire is replaceable. One last thing, you need to allow around 15-30 hours of usage time with these before you make a final decision to keep them. This means, use them for 15-30 hours because they begin to sound even better than when you first take them out of the box.
I recommend getting higher quality earbuds or headphones and use Poweramp.
I currently use Poweramp coupled with either the Astro A*stars (earbuds w/control), Beats Tour (earbuds w/controltalk) and Beats Solo (overear w/controltalk).
Best all around sound with the A*stars though, boomier eye cavity vibrating resonance with the Beats (both).
And yes if that's not enough and as someone else mentioned early... might wanna get an external amp DAC.

Did you miss the part where he mentioned Rush though? I give it a negative 5.

headphones

would beats headphones be amazing on this ?
i played with the one s yesterday..and the answer is yes
i wish HTC still included beats earbuds with HTC phones like they did with the rezound. bastards!
You killed, Kenny!
well...rezound didnt sell well at all, and wouldn't legitimate beats headphones included with the phone bump the price up at least $100 ?
I find my Klipsch Image S4's that I got with my OG EVO sound better than any beats ear buds I have tried. Longest I've ever owned a pair of headphones too.
Even thou its beats it really comes down to just the quality of ur headphones not the brand. Doesn't have to be beats to take advantage of it. I'd recommend a pair of sennheiser they r pretty amazing. Mine r about 5 years old and I've compard them to any beats or bose headphones I could try at best buy and neither come close in terms of sound quality.

No. Beats makes garbage headphones. Want to crank your bass and treble? Use an EQ. You want accurate sound reproduction? Buy Sennheiser or Klipsch or Polk or many other companies who are REAL audio engineers. Beats is for hipsters who don't know any better.

I own the ibeats (hehe) I like them from what I've heard they're the 3rd best 1st being these sexy over the head V-moda's second being a pair of Phillips over the head......I see a pattern here...over the head sound so much better lol
I listen to a full range of music for rock beats aren't the best sometimes(the ear budds at least). I use poweramp to configure my sound and such, but I did notice my pair of auvio buds and skull candy buds did not sound as good as my ibeats.
If your looking for some bargain basement good sounding earbuds try skull candy 50/50s i just got a pair and they sound just as good as the ibeats that came with the rezound, i paid 30 bucks shipped on ebay. They retail for closer to 60$ though. With beats your paying for the name. Dont be a label hoe lol
I agree, I prefer my Sony headsets over beats and not matter the plugs I use it always fall out of my ears

After having used the comply foam earbuds that came with my UE superfi VI's i bought a set for all my cheaper headphones and i've never been more comfortable.
Beats are crap headphones as others have said. Stick with beans like Shure, Sennheiser, etc.
I am a music producer...beats just take the frequency and muddy it up. If that is your listening preference you can just as easily do that with EQ.

The same goes for me, except I own the s4i version. CNET has these headphones ranked as #1 in quality and pricing. I picked mine up off of ebay super cheap, I think I might have paid 45$ for them at the time, which was slamming deal then, but, now you can pick them up most places around that price all day.

Important beats question

so... one of the main reasons i got this phone is for the beats... while it is shiipping i would love to know if there is any chance a few questions could be answered.
does beats only work on/get full richness from beats head/earphones?
how do you know if it is working?
does beats also affect speaker quality?
and if the first question is correct, is this because of the beats audio engine is already installed, or is there another reason?
any helpful answers will be met with a thanks i guess
Only on headphones and a beats symbol will show in note bar

I can't speak for the full richness of beats head/earphones, because I have only ever used my cheap $9 ones or the AUX jack in my car.
I asked myself the same question "How do i know it's working," when you plug in an AUX Jack, A small red b (circled) will show up in the notifications bar. What i did was plugged my headphones/car stereo system into my phone, and played some music and turned beats audio on, then off again and i did notice a nice difference in the sound. (See attached Picture)
You can tell if it is working my turning that option in the notification bar on/off and noticing the difference.
Speaker quality is not effected by Beats unfortunately, but the speaker itself is loud and great

If you root, I HIGHLY suggest you install the DSP Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017647
You can use it along or, like me, with Beats audio for the best sound ever out of my Skullcandy earbuds. On some songs, I can literally feel the bass vibrating my forehead.

Studio's gave me an artificial sound I didn't like. Too much dynamic range.

If you really want some good SQ, and have high bitrate (320kbps+) or flac/other lossless formats, download neutron music player...by far the best SQ I've heard out of a cellphone when paired with the dedicated headphone amp. I turn the beats dsp off and set this up and its great. Currently using westone 4's and etymotic er4p. Never tried over the ears, I prefer in ear. I do use the beats dsp when playing slacker radio. It does muddy up the mids a slight bit, but seems to me to pick up both ends of the spectrum and bring the soundstage just a bit more forward.

Not sure, I've never tried them. I also have a pair of Shure SE215's, which are single driver. Obviously not going to be as good as the turbines driver, but I seem to prefer multiple armature in-ears versus single. I feel like the details are a bit better seperated, yet still blended well.

Sennheiser, AKG, Pioneer, Audio Technica, better invest money in these than in beats, they're just a style marketing, delivering unclear and too deep sound, they are just a fashion brand nothing more IMHO, tried them and passed away.
I have AKG in ear headphones and the quality comparable to beats by dre tour is uncomparable, AKG delivers louder, stronger, clearer and crispier sound while beats gives me a headache because of the bass that just oversaturates the sound.
