What are you think about sound quality through speaker and headphones? I think that is not that good, even my s3 neo have better and cleaner sound.

For headphones, use some better than the original ones, and install viper4android.

I'm using some Sony headphones, not sure which ones, i had v4a on s3 neo, and at first listen i was surprised but after some time i relised that is a placebo. I'm currently using Ainur sound mod.

It's not placebo, sometimes it doesn't work, so you ll have to make sure everything works. The best mod for audiophiles. I've tried all other mods, and trust me with irs and all options set you'll piss yourself immediately

Yeah, it worked perfectly, but i tries a lot of irs for speaker and headphones, but it just ruins sound. Maybe i don't know how to tweak it properly...

So bad ear phone from Samsung

Least bass effect . Ear phone for optimus one was far better than this .

You must not have put the correct size of buds for your ears. The earphones are very good. The bass, I agree is not the best, but it is good.

Try the bass enhancement option in Music settings. Else you'll just have to buy better ones.

For someone who isn't all that into music, I have found the earphones to be pretty good. I would say they are on par with the Nokia Music Express earphones that I had before.

poweramp is paid app, you can use dsp manager also, see "titanium rom" and "infected rom" they both have dsp manager.

You can very well give a try installing trial version and decide which one is the best. Btw i'm not promoting here. Just a satisfied user after trying all other apps

One could also try N7player from Google Play/Market currently its free as its in beta and had a different interface from the regular players.
It has a Bass Boost option which can be boosted by quite a good amount.
Try out Music volume eq from market..You wil feel the real diff..Seriously i felt the same but after using this , i never thought of changing headphones.

check the review too..
BAD seriously ?????
i don't think So.... its Cool...
Works great with POWER AMP..!
one of the best earphone
if you want..... you can buy creative earphones....
in.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=437&subcategory=861&product=14744[/url]
this one, is the best earphone out of all earphones i have used...
@ OP
the bundled earphone is good enough in term of bass, do not let the sound leak by using appropriate size of eartip with thm and it could get you enough amount of bass...
btw which earphone were you using before this ??
PowerAMP iz teh bestz! :-D

Try them with voodoo sound ! Really good sound!
I agree, the headphones included are pretty much trash, compared with my CX870 they sound terrible. I know these are expensive, but any good headphones for about 20-40$ will sound better and probably last longer. I'm in love with sennheiser, the cx200 can be found for 20$ and they sound really good too for the price.
Yes !! the Effect is really good when used in Power AMP, but when compared to my Nokia N8 ear phones, its bad.
I also have a i9000 phone and its earphones look identical as the provided by the i9103. Except for the jack, which stripes are white instead of black. The i9000 ones sound way better that the i9103.
They are also incompatible, I mean, I can't swap them. Using Voodoo on both phones.

Beats Audio and xLoud mod

Just a heads up to those who may not know, there is a Beats Audio/xLoud mod/port on the board and it works on the Atrix 2. Beats adds a deeper, cleaner bass and cleans up the mids/highs too. xLoud is a Sony Ericsson thing, it basically boosts the overall volume of ur audio. I just flashed this mod to my phone and holy ****, huge difference! I had to turn all my volumes down media/ringer/alarms. My good cans are packed (moving this weekend) so no testing with them yet but after hearing the difference I just heard with only the phone speaker I'm expecting to be very happy.

where is the xloud .zip file?
Whoa - déjà vu!
xLoud is included in the zip.
Audio volume really is increased overall (I too had to turn everything down) and the beats makes the bass sound sweet!

Yep, very noticeable difference. This one is much better than the first one w/o xLoud.

Maybe its just me, but I can't seem to find a difference in quality using the car dock. Audio goes out the car docks 3.5mm jack to my Volvo s60r's stereo. I was hoping for some more volume.

Tried this tweak last week and it's great. My highs have come alive and it sounds much cleaner.
So how does the mod affect the Motorola stock equalizer?
I'm assuming the beats audio is only effective in the My Music app? So do I have to disable the "Effects" in settings to hear the Beats Audio? Or should I switch that to custom?
This work well seems crisper...... Did notice if the bass is overpowering the mids and lows go to sound settings and un-tick enable audio effects..... For me with headphones will set effects enabled effects profile custom surround ambient eq bass punch WOW!!!!!

Mine are....I have had to turn all my volumes down since installing this mod. I haven't done any critical listening since I don't use my phone like that anyway, I was just hoping for louder system sounds and that's exactly what I got. The Beats is just an added bonus.
Ok are we supposed to download the one that says older zip files test301.zip or the allandroidzip.zip that looks to be the newest?

Awesome
Works great thanks! Sounds a lot better ican tell right away
So im sorry but I did this. And to be honest it didn't sound better at all. In fact I think it was worse everyone keeps saying stuff like wow... what a difference. But I hear worse clarity, more bass but... im a musician and so sounds I hear more clearly maybe than most but Idk.... anyways like I said im not trying to be rude.

Yea these are some of the same complaints I've heard about the actual beats headphones because they're made really for more hip hop songs and not a wide range of music the highs are where those headphones usually suffer IMO

[Q] awesome beats installed but no sound difference

I recently upgraded from stock firmware to custom firmware and installed awesome beats v3 via pimp my rom but since then i don't hear any bass boost or sound enhancement. I was able to hear presets of awesome beats and virtual room setup before very well on stock rom. I have tried flashing back stock rom but awesome beats still does not work.
I have tried music fx, volume+ etc but there presets makes no audio difference either. Please help ..
Device- galaxy note 10.1
Model number- 8013
Custom firmware- 4.1.1
This is a question would request you to post it in Q&A section.
You sound will be as good as you hardware (speakers) allows it to be so if your speakers are performing at its best no amount of software can do that much good it will make some difference though.
Its like putting make-up will that change how you look no it may improve your looks

Well the headphones i am using now are the same i used when awesome beats bass boost was working on stock firmware. I have also tried using a different pair but noo sound difference.
May be the rom is not compatible and has issues with it
maybe rom already has it or something like that pre installed and you can not notice difference because of that?
maybe it's already enhanced ?

I have tried several differnte roms but i don't hear sound enhanced at all . The bass boost or any other sound preset output are all similar. i have tried different headphones as well but no difference.
You have to believe in the brand and Dr. Dre and if you try hard enough you will think it sounds better. That's how beats work.

I have tried almost all major brands of headphones but headphones would definitely make a difference if sound quality is either coming from amp or good sound preset system otherwise there was no need of amp or equalizer before a speaker.

I've tried almost all sound mods in XDA . In v7, Acid seems to abandoned Noozxoide. So if you're a Noozxoide fan (audiophile), you're gonna be disappointed. In v5, you get to choose either Awesome or Noozxoide. Meaning, you still got an option to choose. My recommendation: Make a nandroid, delete all current sound mods, try Viper4Android.. High clarity and powerful bass... I installed it on all my devices after I tried it once. It's only a 300kb file with installation instructions in it. To me, the other BIG BRAND sound mods can't even come close...

Megabassbeats for jb v2 is way better than fancy acid sound mod.
As per my experiencing and long term testing I can say that all sound mods practically dont give any differen quality (we dont have dedicated sound chip). Our default system lib files are much capable to give high quality sound. If anybody want good quality sound then use high quality headphones with good music player having wide variety of effective equilizers with deep bass and treble effect. For me poweramp perform best job in music player category.

You should try before replying. Have you tried Viper4Android's Xhifi? If you an audiophile, you should really give it a go. It's only a 300kb zip file with installation instructions in it.

Go for Xhifi.. No probs to use the ICS file if on jellybean. The instructions are in the zip. Unzip and you need to change 2 system files to .bak and then replace it with their file found in the zip. It written by a Chinese fellow from China. Damn, he's a sound mod talent.
Edit: I used to a big Acid Audio fan too.. Even followed their FB page for news.

Acid v5 was good but I found its bass a bit too hard when compared to Xhifi's while Xhifi can more even specific by using its Ho clarity and Lo contour tunings. Too bad, I'm not into FX..That's like really going into details just using device's speakers. Anyway, Best of all, it doesn't leave tons of files on your device.

I'm using XHiFi now.. The sound seems to be pretty good.. And like mentioned above just three files replaced and so simple no mess like the others..
Anyway I have always had the issue of audio skipping.. That is, there is random short pause which I find really annoying.. I've tried nearly all mods, except acid and none of them seem to solve a the issue..
It would be great if someone has a solution to that.. I'm on cm10 and poweramp. Audio buffer setting is max in poweramp..

Did you uninstall previous sound mods before installing V4A? I think it's best to refer back to the developer for solution..

****, me too. Gonna research on this and keep you updated.
Btw, I used awesome beats for a while on poweramp and realized it sucks pretty bad, a good poweramp config wins every time. That beats crap is just overhyped dr dre fanboy ultra treble/bass
How am I supposed to UNINSTALL the previous mods? The post also says to remove dsp manager I guess. I've installed the zip version V5.. I can see the 'acid audio technology enabled' notification but no percievable difference in sound and it's not that I'm not good at listening. Is there any possibility that it doesn't get installed properly even though I can see the acid audio app? And yes I'm on cm9 a14 and the nicsptl a11 kernel.

It's not the volume, it is the crude music that's unbearable. The bass isn't clear, everything is incredibly high pitched.
I tried messing with the equalizer in power amp but it didn't help, neither did viper4android
