Beats vs. Poweramp

So after using Beats for a while, and then reinstalling PowerAmp, I've come to the conclusion that PowerAmp kicks the sh*t out of Beats. I dont use BT for music so I dont know how PowerAmp sounds over BT, but my headphones are nearly twice as loud on PowerAmp as they are on Beats mods, Dolby or HTC Surround. Plus the bass sounds WAY better. I have a pair of Bose ear plugs, and without a doubt the rock harder thru PowerAmp. How about you?

Beats is terrible. I pity the fool the who thinks it's good. It's like saying $10 wine is great without every having tried better ones.

Are using the beats mods or the actaul XE Rom? Cause the XE rom beats audio sounds great to me.

I'm using the revolution rom with it cooked in and I think the sound quality is better. I uninstalled all music players and am using the HTC player now with some tweaks from Volume+

I used mods, roms, stock, and everything else. Even winamp. PowerAmp kills em all. I cant listen to it full volume on PowerAmp. Where I really test is in transit. I cant hear even big trucks drive by me with poweramp. Beats and the rest of them sound terrible compared, and I hear traffic noise from smaller vehicles. Not to mention PowerAmp can run off or on headphones, and has an 8 band equalizer with a Preamp. It was my very first purchase from the Market and has been worth every penny. It lays the competition to waste. Not even Dsp manager can compare. I hate to be free advertising but I find it hard to believe HTC is being outgunned by a Market app. Beats is supposed to be The Best right? Got some work to do on that I think!

Its hilarious that it is marketed as an enhancement, when it doesn't even have settings. It seems to be merely a ****ty eq you cant adjust.

Does anyone in this thread have beats headphones or have tried them?

Tried them too. Not worth it. I have Shure and they kick their arse

Beats is awful. HTC player can't even do flac format.

One more reason to use poweramp.

I have poweramp and playerpro installed on my sensation. I use both of them, and I like them both. Can't decide which one I like better

I used to use Poweramp, but then thought I'd try Playerpro.
Have to say Playerppro is much better. The UI is beautiful. And with the free DSP Pack on the Market, the EQ is just as good as the Poweramp one.

Agreed. The new playerpro has a new updated dsp pack v2, and the UI is indeed better than poweramp. Not to mention that playerpro does not run in the background like poweramp.

I mainly only listen to metal and hardcore music, so beats was obviously a flop for my tast. I love poweramp, I like being able to make my own eq setting. Im interested in this "playerpro" but how much is it after the trial is up?? I already purchased poweramp so would it be worth buying another player?

I had already ppurchased Poweramp, but tried Playerpro and bought it too...after all , it's not exactly big money
playerpro has a "DSP Pack" free on the market, which extends the EQ and makes it pretty much identical to the Poweramp one.

Anyone as disappointed as I am in the in the winamp app? Doesn't even have an EQ or presets. booh

Ok I've played with Player Pro and I must say the UI is much better then poweramp. I just can't get equal or better audio quality as i can with poweramp. I may just need some more time with it.
O and sorry to the OP, seems this thread has been hijacked into a player discussion. With beats only limited to the htc player, it really has limitations

Launch the default music app & play any song you should get a option in the notification bar allowing you to enable or disable beats
If this does not happen try pressing the menu soft button in the player when the song is playing then choose sound enhancers & choose beats

Similar thread to one in the General section. Here's my post from that one;
Beats Audio is basically Dr. Dre's idea of what EQ settings you should have when some Beats Audio high performance equipment is plugged in. A stock phone with Beats Audio (Sensation XE) will detect the official Beats headphones (somehow) and Beats Audio will apply a certain EQ.
It's not like beats audio means it has any special audio processing hardware. It is simply an EQ tailored to get the "best" sound out of a specific set of headphones (and make Dr. Dre more ‘paper’). If you are not planning on using Beats headphones, then it is kinda redundant. I'm simply curious to see if this EQ is better than my custom one using PowerAmp. (PowerAmp is also currently running a 2.0 Beta from their website. Check it out.)
I have yet to test it myself, but I would imagine that unless you are planning on splashing out £100+ on Beats headphones, you are best of sticking with using PowerAmp and it's awesome equaliser to tune the sound to best suit the headphones you already have. Much Cheaper! Also the hack that needs to be applied, so that beats activates with any headphones can't possibly apply a different EQ for each set of headphones. It'll be one fixed bass/treble tweak designed to compliment the Beats headphones bundled with the Sensation XE. That's the best reason to get the XE. Those headphones would normally cost over £100 and are meant to be very good.
Since we are on the topic, we all know the headphones supplied with the Desire S are shocking. I can highly recommend the a-Jays One. IMO you'll not get a better sound for £20! Plus the cable is truly tangle-free! I'd have been very happy with these had they cost me £60.
(Also wins the prize for the most over-packaged product I've ever bought. The case is good for keeping anything you want to survive the nuclear apocolypse.)

[info] Beats Audio ... Fake optimisation..

Hi all !
I just post here to talk about ( again ? ) Beats audio.
After Many tests on many roms ( Beats / No Beats ) the results are here :
Take a 2.3.4 Without Beats audio Audio quality is really fine !
even in Bleutooth A2DP, Stereo Headsets or in speaker-mode.
Now with a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 With Beats audio :
Audio is crappy With HTC Player in speaker-mode and A2DP.
When you plug headsets it enable beats then you have a nice quality but very very close to stock 2.3.4 without Beats.....
BTW you can listen to Music on deezer or spotify your have a nice quality without any probleme in A2DP or speakermode or Stereo-headsets.
What do you think about it ?
Best regards all !

I already said this. When u have beats kn the phone, htc makes the regular sound sojnd ****ty, and enable beats, and it raises it to a little better than nornal

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I personally quite like the difference Beats makes with the stock earbuds, maybe that's just me
It seems to pull the sound "forwards", if that makes sense, and gives it a slightly richer sound. Yeah, CM7's equalizer probably does just as well, but I'm not on CM7 yet.

I personally find that beats is much better for my ears than CM7 + DSP on my non stock reference bud phones.
CM7 is alpha state and not quite ready for prime time... there are audio artifacts still in there so the sound quality isn't quite clean as yet... but it will get there.
ver8 is much better than ver7
Overall however, The CURRENT audio quality for CM7 is horrible and i listen to a lot of classical music... for example: violin plucking and bowing sound terrible on CM7 but sound quite decent on Beats... that is quite a shame as Beats isn't much more than an EQ tuning for the Beats headset... and i am not using Beats headsets im using expensive Reference buds.
Right now I am looking for a better EQ app on market to replace beats as it does have its short comings as well.

Poweramp sounds better than beats but its ui is garbage to me
Sent by my feau gee

Here's my opinion on this whole beats fiasco.
All beats focus on is BASS. The more the better. It smallens the sound stage, which is why some feel like it's "closer"
DSP manager is not tuned for you. You tune it yourself, as music is subjective to each person. I might like bass, but you might not. So tune it yourself.
Think of DSP as cookie dough and Beats as ready baked cookies. Some like ready baked cookies, but some want to fine tune it themselves, adding chocolate or ****.
All in all, I HATE beats. It's nothing but a marketing scheme to me.

Yes, at one hand it's maketing. And it's working. There are options with better sound. But, if you like bass based music, Dr Dre's sound is quiet good. The Beats headphones are strong, at least I like the cable. It's a better headphone with a smaller range of happy users.
I like bass music a lot!

P.s I listen to music about 2/3 hours a day and I use beats studios so I can deffo tell the difference.
Oh and don't criticize beats on 3.5 Rom because we haven't got a proper port, the mods we got sound nothing like native beats on xe.

If you have rooted, install CWM recovery, make nandroid backup..flash Endymion 3.3 ROM, Which is awesome and that is my daily use ROM with lots of feature. I think beats audio is only available in custom ROM.

Is Beats Audio really that good?
Whats the difference to winamp i.e.??

i've read that you have to use beat earphone to know the difference.

i prefer srs sound.. beats mode have to much hight frequency.

Yes this lets understand this Beats Audio a bit better first. I used to ask for it until I read a bit more into it.
Firstly, it’s mostly a marketing gimmick. It is not as if any ‘Beats’ phones have any special sound processing hardware. It is simply someone’s idea of the best EQ setting, designed specifically to match a pair of Beats Audio headphones. Dr Dre has then stuck his name on it, to make him lots of money and lend some street credibility to it. Yo.
It sort of makes sense only if you are using official Beats headphones, on official Beats equipment. What normally happens is that the official Beats phone (lets say for the sake of argument it’s the HTC Sensation XE) recognises when official Beats headphones are plugged into it. It then applies this beats EQ, which is specifically designed to get the most out of this specific set of headphones.
Custom ROMs are simply snatching this part of the ROM from the Sensation XE, plonking it on your custom ROM, and frigging the headphone input detection so that it thinks ANY headphones plugged in are official Beats headphones.
The result will be a forced EQ that unless your are using the Beats headphones bundled with the XE, will be completely mis-matched to the headphones you are using. Likely as not it will sound pony. I’ve tried it on 3 sets of headphones ranging from cheap £10 efforts, a mid-range pair of Skull Candys, and my nice new pair of a-Jays. In all three cases I was better off using a decent player app like PowerAmp, and using the EQ in that to tune the sound to match the headphones being used.

Excellent statement, wnp, and very well put together
I agree, I use beats on my pair of bog standard Phillips in-ear headphones and to be honest, I cannot tell the difference.
Also beats company are well known to be as gimmicky as Apple selling way overpriced products.

i have used it on a rom and i can tell you that it isn't anything special if you are using stock earphones, to get the most out of beats you will need beat headphones.. i was all excited as you are until i experienced it

i tried it on CoreDroid rom...
And i must say that id did sound better on iFROGZ headphones... So better that i used stock player instead of my favourite PlayerPro.
Ofcourse, beats can't be anything else than propperly set equilizer...
I hope that guys from PlayerPro will include it in their next release.

wnp_79 said it all, this is exactly the case because it reminds me of apple when i see this, and htc bought beats so we're coming closer to the apple territory.
and thats why im searching for an srs like effect for my cm7 since it was so good when i had the stock sense.. any ideas?

Using beats on my desire S
I can still say theres quality in the music..

Can say it makes a huge difference using pro Sennheiser and Technics headphones. (not in ear ones)

Beats, EQ, DSPManager - What is best?

Hello to all, I was just wonder what sound enhancer people are using these days? I come from an Android device with DSPManager on it which would give extremely rich bass. Beats audio, although enhances my sound somewhat, is no comparison. I tried installing other EQ apps but they have no effect on my device. I think maybe the Beats engine is conflicting with other EQ plugins.
If anyone could share what they use or how they got it to work I would much appreciate it I'm thinking about rooting my device and uninstalling Beats with Titanium just to test it out. Thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure I saw another thread about this. As you may already know, Beats is just a bass heavy EQ setting.
I don't know why certain DSP programs don't seem to have any effect on this phone. The only consensus I've seen if that apps like PowerAmp work the best for actually tweaking the EQ.

IDK why lots of people diss on Beats Audio on their phone. I've tried most of these eq apps and Beats gives me the best sounding music through my ear buds than any other. JMHO

I've been using Poweramp for a couple years and I love it. The options and the equalizer are outstanding. I was just comparing it with Beats and there is no comparison in my opinion. I am not sure what Beats does. A t-mobile sales guy told me it decompresses the sound file. Whatever it is I am not impressed and it seems like marketing hype to me. I would prefer to remove it. I just signed with t-mobile and I am checking out the service and the phone so I am not ready to root or flash. I have not even seen a way to disable beats.

It's easy to disable. Plug in a headset, go to Sound and there you have an option for Beats. On German One S it's name is: Klangverbesserung. I don't know the english name.

Thanks. I should have thought to plug a headset in and then look for settings. Eviently disabling it in the notification bar did the same thing although at the time the notification option was persistent. It is gone now.

BEATS
beats is the most powerful tool to optimize the music.. works with my gaming Headset and Bose in Ear.. Top Sound..

I just traded a watch for some beats headphones (studios) and realized the integrated beats thingy has no affect one beats headphones. If you shut it off the headphones automatically adjust back to "beats" performance. Idk what this concludes but thought I would share.
Sent from my HTC one sex

From my experience, Beats boosts both treble and bass, thus making it sound richer. It is disabled by going to Settings>Sound>Sound Enhancer. Just click 'no enhancements'. Headphone must be plugged in to do so. I leave it enabled in combination with PowerAmp for pretty good quality. Still not as good without DSPManager :'(

Started to use Poweramp before DSP was invented The EQ is doing a good job and for the most time i like the sound of it. In the first days of DSP I uninstalled it because it drained to much battery.
Beats is also nice, but i don't like that it turns on for every sound the phone does.
So i am finaly back to deinstalled DSP & Beats and using Poweramp only =)
