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

You can't enable Beats in A2DP....
Is there a way to have both beats and the original equalizer??

It's a gimmick. CM7's DSP Manager is better, imo.
I prefer using Poweramp and its equalizer presets. Sounds great!

But I really like the HTC equaliser .. DSP manager somtimes creates overload in my music.. and power amp has a unpolished ui..

I installed a Revolution HD Rom 3.6.2 but I have the same problem. Beats Audio doesn't work with A2DP. Have you found a solution? any fix?

This. Works excellently
Beats is made for beats, not other headphones. K? Got it? Cool. Stop *****ing.

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

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!

Plus one fukin thousand people on this forum are such haters. At the end of the day ....
Stock sensation: my dhd with srs sounded WAY better
Sensation xe: best audio quality on any phone I've tried, it makes so much difference.
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.

Its impossible. Music depends on the person listening to it. Why so you think there are so many headphone manufacturers out there? What works for you might not work for him. You can't benchmark a headphone.

Hi there, great job, the mod is working great Pkmn ROM v5.1.
Isn't it just a preset for an equalizer? Or does it actually enhance the sound quality by improving bitrate and whatsoever

I'm on Ordroid 9.0.0. with Bricked kernel.
Using the Beats headphones that came with the Sensation XE (bought separately, i'm using a standard Sensation) plugged into the headphone socket, I notice much clearer and crisper sound using the Beats effect and there is a noticeable difference between each of the other equalization modes. The bass is increased drastically on the SRS setting, so much so that it's more powerful than the Beats setting.
But when i plug the same headphones into my Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset there doesn't seem to be hardly any effect and the Beats icon does not appear in the notification bar even after changing to no effect and back to Beats.
Also, when directly plugged in, in the notification drag down there is an entry as to which sound effect i am currently using and it can be changed from there. When using the bluetooth headset this is totally missing.
If you could get the same functions via bluetooth this would be an excellent improvement!

If there would be 'bitrate improvements' it would mean it would re-encode the track to another format. Maybe it's better to ditch the whole idea of 'bitrate improvement' thru sound rendering.
OQ: This is a collection of presets for the htc music stock player.
For all other questions: At this moment the OP says enough, Sense 4 base build 1.11 Ville_C RUU. It's what you get, for now.
Possibly later on there will be more versions available also for different devices.

I used this one and it works beautifully.

I couldnt really notice a huge difference through headphones, but when plugged up to my cars stereo which i have put some money into i can notice a huge difference.
Thanks guys greatly Appreciated I use it in my car as well I got full custom system
Sent from my rocket on the galaxy 3 leak
Beats is nothing more than a software equalizer. For the same effect (plus a lot more customization), try Volume+ from the Play Store. It even has a "Beats" mode.
There's also Equalizer by smart android, I've got it on my phone & the difference is awesome!

I'm wondering this as well. I've been using Mort Player for music (unless someone can recommend something else for audiobooks/podcasts), but the EQ settings between Mort and other external EQs don't seem to make a big difference (and it should, based on my headphones)
Here. Both .zip files are to be flashed in CWM. Beats Music Player is pretty sexy too. The music player can be installed on any ROM. No need to push. You can download and install or simply bake in ur own custom cake, ...fruit.

The player is not that great.
But, you don't have to do all this to get the Codec's/Drivers and the improved sound quality.
Just download the "Beats Audio Installer" from the Google play store (Free), run it, reboot the phone and use your favorite media player.
I have awesome BEATS. When using it with just phone speakers, No big difference. When in the car with a loaded system, GIANT difference!
Is the huge difference when playing through headphone jack?

I've tries both I'd rather have awesome beats because Beats Audio causes in call volume low I've notice and it stops certain equalizers from working

I don't ever listen through headphones, but listening via bluetooth with my car stereo, it does sound much better. The most reliable way I know of to install is through the Aroma KoaK zip installer v.847 which can be found in boobah's thread here.
Okay I flashed the cyanogenmod rom... and im not sure if i still have my beats audio because everytime it used to show a beats audio logo on the top and even in the notification bar and it had a circle with a green check next to it giving u the option to turn off and on beats audio...now not so much.. can someone tell me if i do or not and can u help me get it back if not?
Beats audio was more of a software than a hardware feature on the One X. The cm10 people and probably most of the us who use it would prefer and point you towards the DSPManager app that is installed. That gives you a fuller control over the equalizer and is typically better than the beats audio software.
Also try jet audio player.. It's awesome and has an equalizer, a bunch of presets, and you can really tweak the sounds.. I look in the themes and apps to find a copy

You should be glad.
Beats audio is just a gimmick. An equalizer, a software feature, not hardware.
The audio engine that comes with CM10 is much better , and acid audio,,etc.

Agreed. Beats isn't even necessary if you use an amplifier like Poweramp. What Beats adds is hardly anything but a bit of low bass resonance. If its off and you have an equalizer you can easily make up the sound difference with said equalizer.
I happen to enjoy Poweramp. It turns my car audio setup Into an even more powerful stereo due to preamp etc.

It seems that Digital output gain controls not only affects volume on headphones but also in-call speaker volume. I need to have very low digital gain for headphones (for good quality) but then in-call volume on speaker is very low. Is there any way to set digital gains for speaker and headphones separately?
