Boost base with headphones? - HD2 General

As I'm writing this I'm listening to music on my leo. It seems the sound quality is kinda fail and i think its because theres no base coming through, is there anyway to improve the bass/f when using it with headphones?

Have you played with the audio booster? I use the "Bass boost" setting on there for exactly the same reason.

HD2 ≠ Dr. Dre Beats

So, weirdest thing. While listening to music on the stock sense player yesterday i moved my headphone cord on my Dr. Dre beats in a vertical direction to avoid tangling and my HD2 immediately begins to redial the last call on my history. I repeated this about, 3 to 4 times successfully, although it would be important to mention that it doesnt act this way every single time i jerk my cord, but a good 1 of 4 times. Any thoughts??
P.S. i am usind the Dre Studios, the larger model, and no i was not using the extra cord that has a built-in volume control and mic
yeah i notice something like that when i plug in my hd2 to my car i dont remember if i was playing with the volume or the cord but the voice command keep running over and over.
Bad music is bad music regardless of the device you play it on. The HD2 is smart enough to actually try and call for help. Load some System of a Down on your device, rm -rf all rap/hip-hop, and you should see your problem remedied instantly.

dude don't say that cause im just gonna spend 200 bucks on something i maybe use 4 times a month lol
its 350 and trust me you wouldnt be using them 4 times a month , after u hear them you wont be able to listen to anything else
Well I stand corrected (about the headphones only ). Headphones sound only as good as the source audio, and most of my mp3s are crappy 96kbps from the napster era. Is the HD2 capable of pushing out good quality audio (over 48kHz 24bit?).
The dialing might be a remnant of the way HTC used to wire their extUSB/Audio-Out, and since they allow for music controls, maybe it's making contact signaling to dial. I'll receive my HD2 on Monday, so I don't know yet, do 3.5 mm plus feel like they go in correctly all the way in? are the Beats' plugs anything fancy that might not connect right?
Yeah, Beats By: Dr. Dre are pretty ****ing incredible.
I'm a bit of an audiophile... and I've owned quite a few excellent headsets from, Sennheiser, Astro, and Tritton.
But in terms of MP3 player specific headphones... these are the best!
NOW, having said that... if you haven't tried using the application, WOW SRS HD for Windows Mobile, then you haven't fully experienced what your Beats By Dre are capable of outputting.

No alternative DRIVER necessary.
You simply install the .CAB file on that thread... and perform a soft reset immediately after the installation process is complete. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read the instructions (if they're provided) ... CAREFULLY!
it would be nice to have a deck with speakers like the iphone has from bose or other. I swear i think im just gonna get an iphone just because they have alot of apps and nice titanium and carbon fiber cases. but i want the beats the small ones not the dj ones
my Vmoda's do the same thing. the default HTC headphones do not, but the soudn quality is horrible.
I really appreciate the quick responses guys, xda ftw!!!! Unfortunately, my problem still exists. I see that other people have similar problems but no one seems too concerned with a fix. But, since the thread is not dead, im not concerned much. Shoutout to Reignzone because the before and after with teh WOW SRS HD was indeed wow.

Anytime boss, anytime. Glad to have been of some help with that suggestion...
Seriously, even a Wal-mart, bull**** pair of earbuds sounds high-quality with the WOW SRS application.
It doesn't do that with my AKG K271s... Or Beyers...
It could be a sign telling you not to use the Beats... Yes, I have tried them. Didn't like the overblown bass.
get a life deuche, this isnt the place to discuss your horrible taste in music

I use the Audio Booster that came standard on my HD2. It helps out a lot. No joke. A lot of pre-sets or you can customize it yourself I am sure. You should give that a shot. I try to avoid installing cabs when something similar is already stock on the phone. I guess I got that habit from my wing due to the lack of memory. But i dont think you have to worry about that with this bad boy HD2!
The audio booster has nothing on WOW SRS, at least imo.

Win w/audio booster > Android audio?

I really used to love the audio quality in windows. Now this was only the case when using audio booster. It just made the highs higher, and the midtones richer.
Is there anything like audio booster for android? I really miss my custom presets
i 100% agree with you winmo + audio booster + srs wow hd completely pwns android in terms of sound quality. Search the forums for "meltus audio hack", i remember using it on my g1 and it helped a lot. (there should be an app in the market too however you should check it is comatible with our builds first)
try LVH 3.6 (Loud Volume Hack 3.6) need rooted rootfs
louder volume hack only works for g1 and mytouch 3g he hasnt updated it to support new phones
*Bump* Anyone that can make a Program that looks and works as good as: Audio Booster v2.5? i'm even willing to pay for it!

In the market there's a music player called PowerAMP. It costs about 2 or 3 bucks if I'm not wrong. There you have a 10 band equalizer and so on. Try it out.

Speakerphone volume

Is there any Android hack to up the volume of the speaker? I have a hard time hearing it in my car or around anyone.
Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
I was wondering the same thing. I can hardly hear anyone. While we're at it, it'd be nice to boost the headphone jack volume as well.
You can use mixzing player or poweramp to make the volume louder playing music, now for calls I don't know.

Use DSPManager.
Anyone know of any presets available for DSPManager? Will it work with winamp or the stock player?

This increases the speakerphone volume for calls? I tried it and it seemed to do nothing unless I did something wrong.
I don't think it effects speakerphone, just music played. Poweramp has a nice EQ with a few presets and you can always make it "louder" by cranking the preamp. Doubtful that your speaker sitch can handle the preamp as it distorts clarity, but it can make music louder. PreAmp is a ****ty player for day to day though cuz navigating to artists involves several touches. I guess I can just write down the levels of my custom preset in PowerAmp and apply those to DSPS

Yeah, the low speaker volume bugs me, but apparently they can here me just clearly, can talk less than average volume (why couldn't it be like that for the receiving end too? :/)
Wish there was a fix OP, we'll just have to wait.
Yea I have to say I miss my TP2 and all those cab files lol thanks for the responses.
Dsp did nothing for me either. Guess its waiting time. Would anyone know where the volume is controled? Is it an android or kernel variable?

Anyone find out anything new about this? DSPManager does help some. But it would really be nice to be able to turn up the speaker volume louder.
Yeah speaker is way too low

Dont use any app... if your on sence you can just turn on hearing aid mode. gives you all kinds of range. Now if your on aosp ( cm7 ) use dsp manager or something.
Never thought of that, it seems to make a little difference, not a ton but a little. Now if someone can find a way to remove the icon

in PowerAMP, equalizer settings and attempt to download everything shown in the picture? down everything, you may find it then I can think of nothing but sorry.
Lol why you need to have it on max volume?!? If 60-70% is good then have it on 60-70%.

[Q] Music volume is so low!!! Help?

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...
Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...
Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:
dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume
Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.
I give it try thanks a lot

What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.
