Hi All,
Just curious as to what music is best suited to the Beats functionality.
Do you need the Beats headphones to get good general listening?
Or is it just for the Dre-ish types of music?
I've tested it on my setup: good pair of Audio Technica closed headphones, some top-produced prog rock albums and pop albums (using RCMix 3D Runny).
So.. what music do you listen to?
Cheers,
Dan.

+1 here,
also another note am using Sure SE115's
Beats is OK but SRS so much better for sound,
but what tops them both is CM7 and DSP, talk about sound repoduction and tailored just how you want it, have been a cm7 convert just because of this
Listen to R&B
But I prefer SRS through ear phones, better sound IMO.

I'm wondering whether it's only good through Beats headphones!
If so, Dre will be making a fair dollar!
IMHO DSP is far better than anything else. Beats is the lowest of the crappiest out there. The only thing that Beats audio processing sounds remotely good with is beats headphones.
I don't have beats... DSP manager + PowerAmp, even $20-ish headphones would sound like a $100 headphone with those two on
I listen to metal primarily, so I'm not in need of heavy bass.
I knew it... Beats only an EQ curve?!

Anything but country haha
I use PowerAMP and i listen to : Hardstyle, Hard Trance, Dark Electro , Industrial, Hard Techno ( known as a Shranz ) Happy Hardcore's and softer version of above.
And some Rock/Metal/Punk
DSP is the way to go
I listen to house, electronic house, dubstep
And I find that with earphones in SRS is that way to go and using speaker phone, beats. (runny3.0)
rock and metal
Some dubstep and rock, little bit of house
To be honest I like it. It may just be an eq curve on the Dhd but what did you expect, its not like its gonna change the hardware is it. dunno about anyone else experience but for me its much better than srs or dolby with stock headphones.
PS anyone saying its just an eq curve, its been proven not to be on beats enabled phones by Engadget.they've tested it with no beats on and with beats enabled with both regular headphones and beats headphones and that there I'd most certainly a difference, maybe not enough to justify the pr drive that HTC are doing, but its certainly more than just any old equalizer settings
How do you set DSp settings? As in what setting should i use lol I use poweramp
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Think i found a way to have a powerfull song with most of Samsung's Roms (not AOSP & MIUI).
I use PowerAmp, but it work's with the stock music player.
Download "Volume+ (Sound Boost)" app on the Market (paid app) or free on the editor site : www.androidaudiohacks.com
In Volume+ (Sound Boost):
Go in HeadSet Settings.
Active Virtual Room Effect....!!!Not Speaker Modifications!!!!
& in Virtual Romm Level chose
+1: Realy good sound
+4 or 5 or 6: Powerfull sound
Rock & Roll!!!!
Info: My Headset is a Sony-MDR-V150

I'll have a try. Thanks
Its all subjective sound that is one mans perfect sound is anothers no i want the bass distorted .
Always willing to test based upon the fact that i don't have a sound problem with SGS2 and stock headphones like wise my better headphones .
Result no difference in quality only difference is +6 VR +5 VR results in the same as turning up the volume on the phone .

Volume+ doesn't work on S2.
Only audioboost SGS2 on market works but the quality is not satisfied

Hey all!
Introduction:
I am an audiophile. I like good quality music. Previously, I had SGS1 and its Voodoo Sound was just sick. With Spotify 320kbps music and good headphones the sound was awesome.
I know that SGS3 has also configurable Wolfson audiochip, but official Voodoo Sound is missing.
However, in Siyah kernel theres some configuration options available. There's some hw eq presets in STweaks, but I looked for something more clear and more bass. So I made some custom eq, which sounds good to my ear:
Headphone Amplifiaction level: 63
Eq presets: use grpaphical eq
Band1: 11db
Band2: 12db
Band3: 2db
Band4: 9db
Band5: 8db
FLL tuning: enabled
Dac oversampling: enabled
Say your opinions and share your settings!
I'm also an audiophile, I haven't tried your settings yet(I will). But I tried multiple settings in Stweaks before and never got satisfied. Finally I flashed Ac!d Mod and installed Poweramp. Ac!d installs Noozxoide EIZO rewire.
Here are my settings
Noozxoide Line-Out-Monitor
Xlimiter ON - Effect Strenght = Moderate
Psychoacoustic ON - Effect Strenght = Medium
Balanced X-EQ ON
Digital Preset = audiophile
LogicSurround ON - Room Size = Room
Poweramp
EQ set to ROCK
Stereo X = Middle
Headset = Sennheiser IE80
With this settings I get a sound like I never had with any kind of earphones of any phone(Nokia N8 was pretty close). I hear instruments and rhythm I've never heard before. Even in bands I'm listening over 30years.
Anyway Just wanted to share.

I quit using siyah because i had some lags(although except that i loved it and i'll try the next stable version again)
but wouldn't these settings be way too boomy and cause much distortion?
I remember having [email protected]
Headphone Amplifiaction level: 48-52(depends)
Band1: 4db
Band2: 3db
Band3: 2db
Band4: 3db
Band5: 4db
And i was quite satisfied.
Anything over that would cause distortion for me though...
These are my headphones:

Thanks for the settings! Gonna have a try. You prefer Ac!d, is the bass clear wit that? Because for me, bass is quite important. You'll hear all sounds from the music, like bass quitar, like you said.

Thanks for your setting, will have a try. Yeah I know, sometimes STweaks crashes. And maybe yes, it was quick try to get good bass and deep sound. Btw sick headphones, however in-ear doesnt fit to my ear very well. Does those have good bass play?
Btw, which genres of music do you like?
I listen pretty much everything, i.e 80's music (awesome!), Pink Floyd (some really good songs, like Learning To Fly), Dire Straits ( Brothers in Arms!) to name just random examples. But I can say hardstyle is maybe my favourite atm. Noisecontrollers - So High is a good example.

Yes,i heard that those earphones don't fit in everyone's ears....

I love it!
Great bass,and good mids/highs....8.5-9/10 for me!
I mostly listen to house,some pop,dubstep,hip-hop,and a lilte metal and rock!
I'm pleased with them...
Hi,
I’ve change my broken GS3 (i9300) for a A5 2016 (sm-510f).
On my GS3, I had boeffla kerner which brings great sound improvements. When I listen to music on my A5, it's so poor ! Is there a way to have a better sound quality on this phone ?
Thanks.
maybe yes,test some soundmods look for androidexpert threads with his soundmods and use a good equalizer app like viper and a player like poweramp or player pro,when sound is to low u can look for my thread about it,good luck.

custom rom missing its charm without this, stock has it.....as well as snapdragon audio.
dont you guys think audio fx of any custom rom fails to deliver good output..?
audio fx is unnecessary without dirac audio service..audio fx is junk...dirac audio service needed..vanilla is always good when it is ice cream.
Arise System can be flashed with ported Dirac service on any custom rom.

Try arise aroma installer 2.94 choice install core system and repair sdcard... Viper4 or Dolby Digital Plus works fine on custom rom :good:
I agree... I've tried dolby but it breaks the music.. makes it **** (my opinion) and viper is okay but not good as stock.. we need dirac

The dac and the amp in this phone is very good you don't need Dirac.You can get perfect quality using audio players like USB audio player pro ,Poweramp etc that use hires audio drivers.i think the only thing that the phone misses in terms of audio is a line out mode to get bitperfect audio out if you want to use external amp

AudioFX in lineageos is doing very good job. You can also try ViperFX and configure it to your preference.

What kind of headphones do you use? The mi headphones in the Dirac profiles maybe get better audio quality. I am not against Dirac in my meizu mx4 pro that I still own (I use it as media player)It has profile for my ie8 also. I would say mi a1 sound quality is on the same level as mx4 pro .I even tested Dirac on my old iPhone 4s with Dirac player that supports apple headphones . But in general mi headphones and apple's are not very good .

Yuuup agreed.. i vote; Dirac for cusrom
what is dirac is exactly?(haven't tested custom ROM, so don't know difference)
I use viper4Android in stock though. Does that disable dirac?
Any interface of dirac? or can be checked through audio quality?

1. house of marley(smile Jamaica, early bird etc)
2. Cowon(em1, ek2)
3. beats(any)

I am not a basshead too I listen to heavy metal ,hard rock I use ie8 and ie80 as portable headphones because of the good soundstage they have .at home I use hd600 . Surprisingly the mi a1 drives it quite well I think ,but I prefer my mx4 pro with fiio a5 or e12 .
ok. Understood about dirac.
But how to know if its processing or not. Does it have interface like dolby?
i see 1 apk with dirac name but no shortcut to open it or know if its working

its background service only......no interface....but outperforms dolby or viper easily.... awesome detailed audio by dirac..must need a port this background service to custom roms.
Thats the Single Reason I left Custom ROMs,and reinstalled Stock. Dolby Atmos/Viper Trust me I dont like Personally ,don't know why the entire forum chased behind two applications ,God knows. Its my personal experience; opinion may vary person to person due to hearing/effect/choices. Currently I'm using stock with Poweramp+ Fiio Ex1 2nd gen headphone ..within 4.5k rs it produces boom sounds. High,mid everything is perfect also sound quality is much more with that price range. With Mi A1; I always advice people be on Stock ROM and buy a good quality of Headphone ...u do not need any kind of mods like viper/dolby/ainur etc...all of them are useless and tried before almost every custom ROMs.
Latest Pixel Experience (Extended and Official) both have Dirac built in now.
