[TRICK] Beats Audio In Your Favorite Media Player

I found out a nice trick to get Beats Audio control in Winamp. Open Winamp start playing your music you don't see any Beats Audio notification. Now open and close the Play Store. Looky, you have Beats Audio notification. YaY!!!
Let me know if this works in any other players that usually don't have the Beats Audio notification/control.

I hate to be a buzz kill but beats audio API is hard implemented into the OS and is automatically available for all media players

This.

Figured that might be true, once the notification/control was enabled and the sound didn't change. Atleast you now have control of the on/off.

Also, you always have had control of that too.

Also also, why would you ever want to turn beats "on"?

I believe the question here is why the hell would anybody want to use beats in their favorite media player?

This discussion helped me because I use JetAudio Plus and noticed too much bass and distorted music. And, since the beats audio was ON by default it was messing with my equalizer settings. Finally, I know why. So, thanks everyone (except for the guy who faceplamed OP :laugh: )

Because everyone on XDA thinks they're audio engineers and can detect miniscule details in sound output on a phone.

Except Beats doesn't make miniscule changes. It can really mess up the bass balance and make things sound obviously weird. Though, if you've been using Beats for awhile I guess your ears get used to that and audio without Beats is what is weird to you. To each their own.

It really helps. I went from an iPhone to an Inspire to an HOX. In my opinion the only down side to android phones over iOS is sound quality. Beats audio really helps bring it up. Before beats I used SRS enhancement on my inspire.

I think Beats would be a lot better if we could access the equalizer and make our own profiles instead of just going with the "one size fits all but not really" approach that is currently implemented.

I don't think I'm an audio engineer but I design and install commercial and residential sound systems for a living so I like to think I know a thing or two about what sounds good and what doesnt.
Beats does not make a miniscule change, it is easily detectable. It is an EQ curve that accentuates the bass and in doing so it muddies the mids and drowns out the highs. It's terrible. The only way for it to actually sound decent is if it's running through a system that has a properly set crossover and even then it will still be too bassy.

Try MixZing or n7 player. They have equalizers and srs etc

That would completely defeat the purpose of Beats, considering all it is is a proprietary EQ curve.

Yeahh...I realized that a few minutes after I posted but failed to edit since I'm a lazy bum.
So how about a whole bunch of pre-set profiles that we can choose from? They can maintain their proprietary stuff but we get SOME control.

I'd rather just have the EQ from CM9 while i watch Beat's dead body burn on a raft I set aflame and send out to sea. In fact, i'd rather just have CM9

Has anyone had an iPhone 5 ?(Speaker compared to DNA)

I would just want to know how the DNA speaker compares to the iphone 5. I think the 5 has an amazing loud speaker which delivers great full sound and some bass, unlike some tinny HTC ones.
I just want to get a phone that has a good speaker, I don't like the boring iOS.

Yes, beats are not worth one penny. You are paying for dr dre logo on them. Audio quality is really bad :\
Better buy some sennheiser.

Any ideas to boost volume for philips shp3000? Or does it need to be attached to mic + answer button like old school SE walkman with pop port headset (changeable)? Im thinking of getting cmoy for extra power.

These headphones are just amazing with it! http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666485862

I Use Westone 4R with Pure Silver with 1% pure Gold why, because it's only wire made for all gender I use power amp music player with beats on
Then I use android tuner to make sound ultimate
Bass is unbelievable as I said unbelievable your brain will shake and you hear what you supposed to hear
Con: All your M8s hate you
You must be aware of your surrounding when you walking otherwise everything could happen!
You can't listen to anything else that bass and detail you won't find them anywhere else
Good things you can sleep with headphone (perfect for brain wave) and light weight and you can wear it long time you won't feel anything at all
After all Westone 4R Is high end little beauty and experience of listening is completely unique to it and beats Lots of Over-Ear Headphones and home stereo SYSTEM!
