Music player sound quality - Galaxy S II General

Hi,
How does the music player sound compared to the original Galaxy S with Voodoo? I'm thinking of upgrading but am worried about the music sound quality. Thanks for any advice.

yepp ;D
btw i'm using poweramp and the sound is completely fine for me ;D

PowerAMP with Head-Direct RE2 is amazing. PowerAMP with any decent pair of headphones is good.

This is my first phone after having an iphone for 4 years. I'm hoping the music player and sound quality are on par or better than itunes on the iphone.

Do the Poweramp codecs provide better output than stock ones?

This. Stock sound is poor but it doesn't take much to change. PowerAMP is great, I don't even use my Fiio E5 anymore.

Only if they will allow the music playback to be automatically played when inserting headset.
PowerAmp

Poweramp's Stereo Stuck..It isnt WIDE enough..Tried DoubleTwist...Cudnt they include an eq n it..I hate the high pitch..SO for the time being until CM7s ported i will use winamp..ANd when i say best music player i mean the one with supreme music quality..Even though we cant improve the SNR we still cud widen the stereo a little bit..
Does miui player works on Optimus one?
Anyone tried that?

I doubt if PowerAmp does anything to the sound other than equalize. I think it still uses the same API as the stock music player, except for additional codecs and an equalizer. If the stock player had an equalizer, I'd choose it. So now I'm with PowerAmp. Good UI, good equalizer. If CM7 is completed, I'd be fine with the stock music player, will just use DSPManager for the eq.

Whats So Good About PowerAmp? Against The Stock Player

I've recently tried out the power amp trial to see why its the people's choice for "best music player." Maybe it's because it's the trial but I don't see and significant things that make it better than the standalone stock player for the galaxy s3.
On the poweramp, you can adjust the EQ or use presets, same goes for the s3 player. Theres also the bass, treble, volume and x-stereo (not sure what that is) and on the stock player there is the 3d, bass, reverb, size of room, and clarity.
Am I missing something? Is it the looks that people go for on the poweramp? Or is there some special key features that other players don't have.
I'm not sure if I want to purchase the unlocked poweramp if it isn't much superior than the stock player. Only thing thats neat to me are the different sizes of widgets and customization for them.
What do you guys think?
Ummm, about everything. Sound quality, customization of the music and metadata, aesthetics, and especially the navigation and accessibility of your files.

honestly, it sounds to me like you don't really care what the best music player is. if the stock player satisfies you, then by all means stick with it. it is NOT bad. it is also not for everyone
I like the crossfade/gap-less playback personally
How can software effect sound quality the only factors that should effect sound quality for digital music is bit rate, digital to analog converter and the tiny little amp inside our phones since the software only messes with the sound once you start funking it up with the EQ

You are kidding me right? Poweramp significantly makes all music sound way better! Even my car stereo with two subs sound way better with Poweramp.

How can software make sound better?! You're kidding right?! Have you heard of Beats? The hardware can do so much, but the processing (compression, equalization, etc) is all done via software. PA is miles ahead of the competition for true audiophiles.
These music players should NOT have any effect on music. If you shape the sound (EQ) you are losing bit depth plain and simple. That's why the whole beats app is a joke to me. The term beats and audiophile do not belong in the same sentence.
That said "better" is a subjective term and not everyone enjoys a flat eq curve, especially people with dual subs jamming to rap. Subjectively power amp SHOULD be the same as any player playing the same content with no EQ.
Also, you can control the player while the phone is locked (paid version)

So does every other music app. The key to good sound is headphones. My Klipsch reference headphones sound awesome no matter what app I use. Anymore you pick an app based on feature set. If yours does what you want then screw other apps.

erichj - I agree.
The main reason I bought it was for streaming my music in my car via Bluetooth. It connects and starts playing instantly without touching anything.
Poweramp is cool but, I prefer playerpro. The soft bass I get on playerpro is better than poweramp
I'm kinda debating between player pro and n7player now..
I don't really like the folder view in poweramp, and no lock screen controls was kind of sad too

Poweramp definitely has lock screen controls...I'm guessing most of you didn't try to learn how to use the app before posting.

You obviously didn't use the software. It does those 2 things better than any player out there.
UI, Preferences, plays voicemail received in Exchange (vs Remote Wave) and just got very use to it on my DX.

wow I'm blind, thanks.
I'm going to have to look into everything again
Well both software and hardware affects the music. But honestly without the hardware, theres no sound.
Seems like ill be sticking with the stock player for now and switch over to n7player or poweramp later on. gapless play back is a plus tho

Bump. Wondering the same thing.
I don't have a galaxy nexus but sound quality is a bit meh, output volume compared to my previous phones is good but according to some people it is low. Sound quality is acceptable with almost no audible background noise or clicks when switching between modes. I am listening on sennheiser mx270's. So overall I'd say fine but most people rate the international s3 as being better.
I'd recommend getting yourself a fiio e5 if you care about sound quality and volume- it improves both IMO, makes sound more... Exciting, as in everything even when on lower volumes feels more fun/powerful.

Let's hope with future development, perhaps, tweaking with the hardware, will get more volume out of it. It is pretty low. And if I use the stock equalizer, sounds compressed. Not liking it

A bit of a bump. Are there any reviews of the chipset, or any more info on audio quality? Maybe some pretty colorful graphs that I can stare at and convincingly nod up and down like I understand?
Edit: Doing some research it looks like it uses the Qualcomm WCD9310, the same found in the US variant of the GS3.

If you are rooted, and that is easy to do by the way, then I recommend Viper XHifi. Has made a massive difference for me, far better with it on this phone and my nexus 4.
There is also another Viper mod, that does more effects for the music too. Forgot it's name.
Run viper4android and you'll never look back. Amazing sound mod

I use poweramp, too. I like the stock player as it uses adapt sound, but I cannot use the wanam settings for skipping tracks with volume rocker on stock player. So I usually use stock player when I use the display while listening to music, and for all other cases (car, listening in the dark, ...) poweramp.
Try Neutron or PowerAmp.

of course "power amp" is the best
mmm idk. poweramp skipped for me from time to time. i tried a couple of players including jetaudio. it supports shake to switch track, flac, coverart, playlists, folders, etc, but still sometimes skips with the shake to switch track feature. not really happy about any of them.

I have the paid poweramp version but I think the stock player the sounds better. Use them in multi window and alternate playing same song so you can judge for yourself which one sounds better. But if you're not looking for sound quality Poweramp has more features and looks better.
GoneMad Music Player is the best for me:good:
for me the stockplayer is working great.....:good:
For convenience and general usage, Google music is better since you could have cloud and stream for free. If you are a little serious about music, I think Neuron would be the choice because of the high quality playback.

If u equalize it properly any player will rock. Poweramp well adjusted is the best for me. Stock sounds good but PA has more options..

if you want quality...i suggest you give neutron a try....i used it from the 1st time it was released & i still think its best...tried loads others like jetaudio, poweramp, playerpro etc but nothing comes close to this.... a word of warning, neutron's interface does take some getting used to
