Which headphones are using? Maybe your EQ is that agressive to sound good because of that.

Hmm.. We can discuss there.. But anyways stock earphones (i use) work quite well and produce balanced sound.. After activating voodoo sounds...and some equalizer tweaks...

Believe me, the i9103 stock headphones are not really good. The Galaxy S ones are way better.
I have tested lots of different models. Stock headphones are usually crap. Unless you go above 25$ aftermarket you won't get any advantage with voodoo driver, as it is impossible to notice being narrowed to a small freq range. That's why I was surprised at that EQ curve.

@bhargav143: Buddy, please let it understand that if we already have thread regarding Earphones, then we may discuss this one there. But, if you wanna discuss here then no pro. but @josjator: I have tried DSPmanager with Sony walkman. its like Kaaaboooommmmm with Extreme bass booster. :victory:

I think, just like me,
DSP SETTING:
Compression is disabled
Bass Boost: Enabled
Bass Boost: Effect strength is Extreme
Equalizer: Enabled
with Preset: Bass booster.
Also, if you want to search good earphone, then can search over flipkart. its best way to found.

The only decent ear pieces you can get on that price range is still creative ep-630 i guess. But If you can go I little higher and find a good deal go for Tekfusion Twinwoofer. I got a set for 1200INR but its got much costlier now. For me it beats Sennheiser cx-180 maybe even cx-300 atleast on the highs and the mids. The lows however could be a bit better. Trust me it gives a real punching bass.
But remember you need to burn those for atleast 100 hours before you start judging it. The burn in guide comes along it.
Sorry Vikesh could not resist myself

[Q] Best music player

Nowadays, what is the best music player to JB?

MX player on my opinion

if paid, power amp
if free maven is good.

The music player can be Ported however it will take time. S4 music player can also be ported but no one takes the time as its "waste of time" as there's better music players out there.

Never heard any audio player that can handle that good as poweramp it's limit setting makes the audio being always good even if you max eQ bass or anything else. However many audio player doesn't have that as "default" so you need to experiment to make it sound good due to no audio limitation/reduce of bad sound

The default Eq of default player is no way near the one in poweramp. But the best thing off default Samsung player is good sub bass ( I think below 60 Hz is better than power amp). But the equalizer is way worse than poweramp.

[Request] Beats/Acid/EQ?

Is there a way to flash an apk or zip file to get a system wide EQ on our phone like Beats? The sound output via the headphones is soooooo low. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

Viper4Android is by far the best IMO. It's a much easier install than AC!D as well. Beats(even Awesome Beats) was always garbage to me. Especially compared to AC!D/Viper4Android.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I've decided to give a try to the Beats Audio™ PRO that used before on my N7 which is now outdated on playstore...if you find it and it works for you it is night and day compared to the original output. There is no equalization but IMO there is no need to. You can still play with EQ with your music player (I use poweramp). I've tried several DSP managers (downloaded, integrated in custom roms, etc...) but nothing comes close this mode. The only inconvience - you need to be root.

Don't really need to. The stock ROM doesn't contain the lines to edit anyways.

Viper works, I highly recommend if using with a good IRS. Works great on my Nexus 5!! Best audio mod I've used.

Okay. I had installed beats on a previous phone awhile ago and wasn't at all impressed. The EQ in poweramp was good enough. However, seen this thread today and figured I'd give viper a shot being as how a couple people recommended it. Well, I am quite impressed. I've tried it on phone speaker and Bluetooth and it definitely offers an improvement, especially on Bluetooth. Hopefully, it is just as good on the headset, haven't been able to test it out yet. But yeah, definitely worth installing.

Do you have the "Enable/V4A-FX is powered on" check box checked for the output you're using? There is one to check for Bluetooth, Speaker, and Headphones. All three have been working for me on Google Music.

Yeah, I have that box checked for my headphones. I've been changing the eq settings and nothing happens. Going to uninstall and reinstall.

It *is* system-wide. It won't work on PowerAmp unless you turn off DVC in PowerAmp's settings.
V4A is a comprehensive audio-driver replacement, not just some software EQ.

Absolutely. It is possible. A friend of mine uses Walkman on Nexus 4. Simply download it, someone must have uploaded it.
But porting Sony's in built-in sound enhancements is tricky.
