Dre Beats audio on SGS2...

Just a quick question.. It would seem this is mainly software that can be used on other devices? Is there any chance we could get this on our sgs2's...?

Please, mate, just look around. There's been 3 topics on this already.
Bottom line is it isn't possible, since it's for the HTCMusicplayer. And on top of that, it's just an equaliser.

WTF why would some1 pay extra cash for a cheap eq setting?! lol i can get the same stuff with poweramp wich sells for only 3 or 4 Euros... LOL *cantstoploughing* at least they could have added a few gigs of extra memory to make it more attractive... "Beats Audio" LOL
EDIT: i think HTC will die (just like Nokia) quite soonish... i think, releasing every 3 Months a new phone isn't very intelligent... just my opinion...

Big marketing gimmick, beats headphones themselves are overpriced for their performance, I've tried them and not all that great.

I disagree. I tried them at best buy and they were truly amazing. But not worth 300 dollars and ****

Try something premium from senns, or even shure then you'll hear the difference. Depends on source of audio as well. Beats are not worth it at all any audiophile will tell you that.

WOW Beats Headphones then, i have to get one! LOL
i think i'm gonna sell my SGS2, along my fiio e7 now and get one of these...

Isn't the audio hardware on the Galaxy S2 way too ****e to even want to do this? I mean with headphones in I can hear a hiss when I scroll! This was discussed in the Anandtech review of the S2:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/13

It's not as **** as that with "Equalizer" app from "Smart Android Apps, LLC", simply the best from his category of the market actually, and you will have the EQ everywhere, not only on a music player

I believe its speaker hardware along with the equalizer. And that means jack **** when you're using the headphone output.
And seriously, Beats are horrible and overpriced and you can get sound quality as good or better for 1/3 of the prices. We're not repeating the sentence for nothing, we know what we're talking about because some of us actually spend $500 and above just for headphones instead of ****ting it down on Beats.

Again, I point out the SGS2 audio output is garbage. I know you didn't buy the good headphones primarily to use with this (or any) phone. If anything, having any personal set of standards for audio quality will bring you great shame and sadness when you try listening to the sound that comes out of the 3.5mm jack on this device.

Sennheiser, beyerdynamic, both have models that thrash beats by dre for considerably less money, a well as models that will blow your mind (albeit for a price).
Of course, any good pair of headphones are also going to expose every flaw in both your music and the yamaha chip in the sgs2.

i own a pair of akg k518
i had to turn down the bass a bit and they sit pretty thight in the first weeks if you have a bigger head.
but despite of that they deliver a very good quality for the price
i can recommend them (although im not shure about the price range of the beats)

Well I meant if you can recommand headphones, not brands. And if you say same quality or better than dre beats, are you talking about dre beats solo or what? Because a friend of me owns dre beats studio and it's the best I've ever heard. But too expensive for me

Amazing headphones

So had the s3 for a few days now but only tried the headphones a few hours ago and I gotta say I'm amazed at the quality. It has very nice bass, which I've never had in regular headphones before. I've always had the cheap 5-10 dollar headphones and I never knew how good they could be. And these come with the phone!
I was playing league of legends with them and sound effects sounded amazing. I'm guessing that's why people buy dre beats? Except this isn't overpriced, paying for the brand, headphones.

Yup, easily the best in box pair I've used...ever I think.

I actually thought they sound worse than the ones that came with my original galaxy s, and a LOT worse than the high end UE's I normally use. They're still decent for a bundled accessory, but they're nothing to call home about. Just my two cents.

I don't like them at all

Ones that came with my Captivate were really good and used them up until a month ago when they walked off from my desk. Now I've got some Klipsch s4a buds and am highly impressed. Picked them up for $60 from Sonic Electronix, which was about $30 less than everywhere else.

i knowwww, but ive tried using even the 100 dollar bose ones, and the 100 dollar shure ones.

the way i looked at it was : im always listening to music, always at my desk, always using headphones. Why not get something that will MAKE me want to actually sit and do work and enjoy it. And plus whats the point of paying 50 dollars every couple of months cuz the headphones broke? These have a warranty and every year i send them back and get new ones and that warranty gets extended.
its worth it.

Are you a meelectronics user yourself? Nice! I am too, but I have the M6P's with the built in phone controls. I have yet to find a pair of IEM's that cost twice as much as these that can compare, certainly nothing at this price point or below.

And the eartips can be swapped out for the "marshmallow" type, Comply T-400's, commonly found on JVC Marshmallow IEM's.

If we're going to toss in some high end IEM's, I'll throw mine in the circle as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-IE80-Headphone/dp/B006EK9J9S/ref=pd_cp_e_1
If you like hip-hop, trance, or anything that needs a good quantity of solid bass. These are it.
If you like really wide soundstages. This is also it.
It has a screw on each monitor you can turn for more or less bass as well.
As the Head-fi saying goes, sorry for your wallet if you decide to get either, but your ears won't be sorry.

LOL, this is gonna sound dumb but, I bought some ear buds from Big Lots the other day for 5 dollars. They were impressive. As long as I don't try on a good pair to compare, I'll be good.
That said, the GS3 comes with a pair right?

i had these , and as you said, for bass intense it will be these, i ultimately still ended up keeping my shures, felt they were a little clearer
but u cant go wrong either way. :good:

I can't wear in-ear phones for more than half hour.
How can you guys do that?
I use Audeo PFE.

My go-to earbuds for a couple of years now have been the Razer M100, now called the Moray:
http://www.amazon.com/Razer-In-Ear-...hones--Black/dp/B001HN6PBM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8
They show up on Woot every once in a while for $15 a pair and I get 3 and give a pair or two to friends and family. I've tried a lot of earbuds over the years, and even at $30-40, these are about the best-sounding ones I've found. They isolate outside noise well, have really good bass response, clear sound overall, and the small size makes them easy to wear without them getting knocked loose.
Definitely worth checking out if you're shopping in that price range.

At my desk, I'm still using an old pair of Sennheiser HD590's open-ears through a Fiio headphone amp. For non-amped in-ears I've switched from my broken Shure's (which sounded amazing) to the still-highly rated Klipsch IMAGE S4's.
The Klipsch's sound really good, but they do have just a tad too much bass, but at least they're no where near the huge amount of bass that BeatsByDre gimmicky crap imposes.

Nexus 4 is great but ...

Hey folks,
I sold my galaxy note to buy N4 with lots of doubts and fear but now I have it and I am sure it is wonderful and better than my gnote.
The battery is extremely good. I will put some screen shots here later but I am sure I have 6 hr screen on under heavy use and full wifi on.
I really do not want mess things up and change rom but I am not very happy with the loudness of the audio out.
Now I wanna ask from those of you who has changed rom that do you think cm 10.1 or other kernels have better sound loudness or not? Should I change rom only for this sake?
Kudos
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

There are mods like XLOUDER that increase the volume. I haven't tried those since it's loud enough for me, though.

Audio out as in the headphone port or just in general over the speakers?
Because if its headphones youd be surprised what a good set will do. I had the "problem" with my HTC device through cheapo headphones but then I got a good deal on some triple-driver Ultimate Ears. HUGE difference. Now the phone cant be above half without hurting and the audio is considerably better since you arent maxing out the output of the phones.

I mean in the headphone or loud speaker,
What sets do you suggest from ebay or amazon?
And where can I find those mods for more loudness?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I dont think there has to be anything specific but a set with multiple drivers or a 3mm or better driver would do it. I got some Ultimate Ears 600 series and those alone were probably 5-6x louder than some $20 Sony earbuds I had before. Retail they were $150 but I got in on one of those "dented box" sales for $50.

question about Beats By Dr. Dre - Beats Studio

will the Beats By Dr. Dre - Beats Studio work with the gs4?and if so do they sound good?just asking before i spend 300.00 dollars,thanks

Thats a roger on the compatibility.
Beats by dre uses the standard 3.5 mm jack for audio input.
As for the sound...my untrained ears can't hear a difference. They're solid in performance and quality certainly. People swear by them at my university though.

At the $300 price point there are certainly better options on the market. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's great (case in point iPhone ). That being said it should work fine with your S4 if you decide to get them
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy S4 Running AOKP 4.2.2

Before you spend $300 do yourself a favor and do some research on head-fi.org.
At least then you will be making an informed decision. Many less expensive options out there with as good or better sound, problem is most people won't know it because all they see is the "beats" logo and assume you bought the best.
Do you want great sounding headphones, or do you want people to THINK you bought good sounding headphones because of a name?
Beats and Bose two of the biggest rip-offs in music. The only one worse is Monster Cable.

Actually, Beats by Dre were manufactured by Monster up until 2012, so there ya go.

I'm really looking into the Logitech UE 6000's. Everything I read has been good so far. I currently have some Shure SE 215 in-ear monitors and looking to make the jump to a full size headset. The UE 6000's at only $180 are also a great value. If you have the extra money and want some Bluetooth love then look no further then the UE 9000's ($400) from what I've read. Logitech may not be known for their high quality audio but down that lead you astray.

I use beats studios with my s4 and note 10.1 and the sound is pretty awesome. Not tooo overpowering if you don't want them to be but if you crank it up and pair is with a good equalizer like viper it sounds incredible. Granted I got the beats scratchlesa and like-new secondhand at a fraction of the price so it may sound just a bit better than a $300 pair would but I would recommend going to an electronics store with your s4 and testing out the floor models to see which suits your taste the best. :thumbup:

Do a little research on Audiotechnica ATH-M50 headphones before buying overpriced Beats headphones.
They are better headphones (especially for bass-heavy music and sounds like video games, movies, etc) and cost 30-50% as much as Beats.

Yes they will work
Sound quality...LOL, beats sound like crap for their price. Those who think they sound good have never listened to a quality pair of headphones. They are for looks...and only looks, just like iPhones. There is a reason why beats are never in top ten headphone lists...at least in any top ten list from a respected audio site...
Like said earlier, AudioTechnica M50 are much much better...and cost much much less...and in my opinion still look good, and are pretty damn comfortable. I got mine for $120 (I think they are like $200 regular) on amazon...couldn't be happier...definitely sounds better than any pair of beats I've tried on.
Like others have said...do some more research, you don't want to be that guy walking down the street with a pair of beats thinking he's cool with "good" headphones while all the nearby audiophiles are laughing at your stupidity for wasting money on beats...
-just my opinion...as I do consider my self an audiophile

Like everybody else said, the only thing you get with Beats is an overblown name. They don't suck buy they are just way overpriced for the sub par quality. Get something like klipsch or koss. Much better choices and they won't cost you an arm and a leg. Also I have used to pretty decent cheapo skull candies before. I wouldn't recommend spending over a 100 bucks on cans unless they were custom in-ear monitors abd those cost about a grand hahaha! Also head fi is a good website like everyone else has been saying

I bought the Logitech UE 6000 a few days ago and do like them quite a bit, but also liked the Bose qc 15 when I tried them in store. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the two side by side and only got to try the qc-15 for a few minutes.
Can anyone give a fair review on their impressions of the qc15 in regards to sound, noise cancelling and leakage. If you have any use with the UE 6000 to compare that would be great too
I can get the qc15 brand new for 240-250 w/ tax. Paid 173+$30 warranty + tax for UE 6000 (About $220)

Sorry, you are right. I didn't read everyones posts. Just the fact that there is adults that are asking about beats kills me. I work for best buy and it drives me nuts to hear people thinking they are quality.

beats are mostly supposed to be used with other BEATS devices; its just an EQ setting. their quality, sound, ergonomics, and value (to real DJ's and audio techs, whom i work with) is laughable at best. sound isolation isnt much different than other OTE units; most of that depends on how loud your music is lol.
Sennheiser HD 25-II for audiophiles for less, or Pioneer HDJ-2000 if you want bass and better quality/ergonomics.
i have both the Sennheiser HD 25-II and HDJ-2000; my GF has some red BEATS pro studios; for her its style; they stand out and match her car/lipstick etc. versus the HD 25 II's by Sennheiser and HDJ2000's, there is no competition. They are designed nicely, but not being able to comfortably use one ear without them sliding, and the fact they are CLEARLY worse aurally, i wont touch them. Other than bass, some $30 Panasonic HTX-7's actually have better fidelity.

Mine have always been kept in the box, I have a semi-decent pair of earphones that I use daily. To be honest though, I doubt any phone ships with earphones that are actually worth using over even a fairly cheap pair of third party set.
So I wouldn't advise you rely on the Note 4 shipping with anything impressive!

We've companies like Iphone Apple earphones are decent,Nokia Inear ear plugs stock (lumia610) are excellent.
I also have my note 2 earphones still inside my box unused and I currently own a Nokia Coloud I am happy with them.

Isnt it up to each carrier? I know T-mobile is cheap and never include any headphone.

Consider it a bonus if they do. Highly unlikely that you will get a set of earbuds worth talking about. I personally don't care for them since I have my own Bluetooth earbuds.

I both have note 2 and note 3 headphones also s4 and s5 headphones and i love them. For me note 2 and s5 headphones are the greatest. Note 2 headphones has great bass and treble balance. ( Actually it has the best bass over all sammy headphones ). Using them with 63 db kernel headphone boost and viper4android for clarity.It has poor cable quality though. This is my third in two years. S5 headphones are great too with 60 db of course. Music gets too loud on 63 db. Note 3 headphones are also great with 60db boost. In all of them s4 has the crappiest ones. Although it 'doesnt suck' at 57db i wouldn't prefer them.

You buy a $700 phone.... why would you not invest in some good earphones if you even like them?
Many providers don't include headphones anymore.

Correct. They provided earphones, not headphones.
