Hey guys, I see that a lot of ROMs have beats audio ported. On the HTC Sensation, would the Beats Audio port be equivalent to a HTC One S in terms of sound quality? And what exactly does the Beats Audio mod do to the sound?
Thanks

Just applies an equilizer preset.
Remember that on the xe original 3.6 stock Rom, if you don't plug in headphones with a Mic you get the bass boost preset - that or beats. If you want pure sound without any effects for.your good headphones, perhaps you should try either a sense 4 rom or a pure ics one, or not using HTC built.in music player

Sense 4.0 (ordroid) now sounds different, for the worse and j believe it is being worked on. Otherwise you can always try android revolution hd

The Rom has beats in it
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
There is now a flahable zip available for any sense Rom to have beats

That's a good new.
I'm considering go back to s-off.
Any way to get beats working with Power AMP?

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.)

Nice
I tried beats, tbh not much if a differnce with my senheiser cx-200s. It jut amplifies the sound quality a but, and makes the music sound 'brighter'
Still yet to try it on my friends beats solo HD pair.
My senheisers broke, (keeps losing conncetion) so I'm looking for a new pair. Will check out your review for those headphones!
EDIT: the link you posted doesn't direct me to the product

I just dled the old ARHD 3.6.13, I had looked at getting InsertCoin but the DL link was bad. Now I have 3.6.13 but I'm looking at getting ARHD 4.1.13. I want beats so I was trying to find the DL and all the links I came across were bad. Is something going on I don't know about? Anybody have the link for the improved beats audio?
Another question. The larger MMS mod says you must have CWM, I have 4EXT, can I not flash with 4EXT? If not, how can I flash mods that say CWM using 4EXT?
Thanks
4EXT will work fine

Maybe a tad off topic, but poweramp player now has beats support since yesterday, if you keep the bass and treble at 50%, disable the EQ and enable the tone and limit, and enable the beats button, it sounds exactly like the stock player with beats enabled. Only with poweramp you can then customise this sound if you really must have that additional bass or treble.

What u need is virtuous inquisition.
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
first Thread here, please be kind.
first of all, awesome website, awesome developers, and awesome ARHD roms.
i flashed my sensation with ARHD sensation XE rom and it has been nothing but awsome so far. however, as a audiophile myself, i cannot help but noticed something changed in the audio department.
with the default HTC audio player, the music became almost unlistenable without Beats enabled. the overwhelming amount of bass pretty much ruins everything. I don't recall this was the case before flashing the ARHD rom. and when i use 3rd party player (like Winamp) with no EQ change, the music is on par with using HTC audio player with Beats turned on.
so here is my theory:
1. HTC is really play dirty here by purposely making the musics sounds so bad that user has to enable the Beats audio on models that support Beats audio.
2. Sensation is not compatible with Senstion XE rom?
is this an isolated case? or are you guys all experiencing it?
Thanks
Never had that, flash again maybe?

yes... I also facing same issue when listen to music using poweramp. But as far as I know beats function only work with stock music player.

i think i flashed a number of times and i have noticed this every time.
could you do test on your phone?
listen to a music file with HTC music player with beats off, and beast on.
and listen to the same file with a 3rd party player with flat eq setting.
since 3rd party player cannot trigger beats audio, it should sound just like HTC player with Beats disabled.
my problem is it sounded like HTC player with beats enabled, while the HTC player with beats disabled sounds like carp (granted my head phone cost as much as sensation itself so i might hear a bit more, but the difference should be very significant to spot with just regular earphones)
For ICS, HTC have modified the Beats algorithm (imho)
So now, beats enabled is as the player should be,
Beats disabled, has HTC crippling the sound to make Beats sound better than it is
I think.....
A very nice posting from my ARHD XE
Sorry but.... do you guys use piracy OLD version of power amp? New version of it has Beats Audio in EQ. Better just buy Power Amp and get an update with Beats Audio in EQ And on topic, I don`t have this issue. Maybe it`s related on headphones, as I`m using headphones from SE Xperia Arc S, but with some others headphones sound is really bad.
I don't use Beats anymore as it sucks out my battery.
Google Music has pretty nice sound, don't need more than that.
I've found that using dsp manager as well as beats audio gives the best sound.

Does anybody have a good replacement for the implemented HTC Sense 4 Beats Audio driver? I wanna flash a JB ROM, was hoping for a good replacement!
I've flashed some JB ROMs on it before, but I've always returned back to ViperS because of it's awesome implemented audio equalization, and since I'm a music producer, I need that beautiful sound in my Beats Tour!
Looking forward to some tips!
On JellyBam and AOKP you can get Beats audio. For AOKP. you'll have to flash it like an add-on

Beats audio is just a glorified EQ profile. You can get the same or better sound out of many music players such as poweramp, neutron mp etc. I personally use JetAudio Plus but that's just my personal preference

Noozxoide from the playstore. On sense ROM like Elegancia just disable Beats. Then set up Nooz as you want.
Line out monitor control headphones and wireless monitor for bluetooth....
You can get some first class sound tweaking out of it.

Yeah, but I don't want just a single musicplayer with an equalizer! I'm using a 3rd party equalizer along with Beats Audio just to tune and fine the audio after my needs, but that "glorified EQ profile" you're talking about is just what I need! I've tried a several mods from Google Play, and I've also tried the Awesome Beats DSP Manager app, and the sound there is great, but it's not like the one HTC are implementing in Sense 4! But thanks for an answer anyways!
There is no beats audio on the m8 right?
can anynone tell me how does music sound compared to the m7?
thanks
