Gross...beats are terrible headphones - if your gonna spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of headphones than get some real studio headphones...dont beleive me beats are bad...look at any top 10 pair if headphone list...you will never find a pair of beats there...just some advice from an audiophile..only people who think beats are good are those who have never actually listened to a quality pair of headphones

To the op...there are beats mods for most headphones...in time im sure there will be for the s4 as well

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I have a pair of ATH-M50s and these things are a beast!
So that being said, my PC, macbook, and iPhone 4S, before I traded it in for this, are really loud. The GS4 doesn't go loud as it should. I used poweramp as the music player, but it's a hideous music player and clogs up the screen.
Really upsetting that Samsung limits the volume for us to hear. Hopefully someone has a fix for this or something?

Seriously?? You think the volume is low?? I think the volume through both speakers and headphones is quite high and a lot clearer than my previous phone, an HTC Vivid, which utilizes "Beats" audio.
But I do believe that Beats on the Vivid was simply a software modification of the sound like an EQ adjustment, rather than anything like a hardware change.
And just for reference, I use a pair of Denon AH-D1100 headphones quite frequently.

Remember to make backup if you have a i337m or make sure you have the stock rom just in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks, don't know how I missed the post above mine. Oh well. Patiently wait I suppose. What is a good sound mod that will also boost volume? I am using PowerAmp, but some of my albums are not very loud, and generally running 320kbps.
I like noozxiode

On the newer htc phones beats is more than an eq setting. They have built in amps now for both the speakers and the headset jack.
I've honestly used all of the eq settings on most of my devices but it never compared to actual stock beats settings or how great voodoo sound was for older Samsung devices as well as the og Asus transformer.

The DSP manager in Cyanogenmod worked well for me. I have no desire to own anything that says beats. Just waiting for Dan to release his secret unlock. I use bose qc3's, they're no seinhesier's or AT's but they get the job done.

Why do you need the volume so high? On my IEMs, half the max volume is as high as I'll go for regular listening. Max seems like you'd blow out your ears. If you really want to have higher volume without ruining the sound, your best option would be a portable amp.

What kind of earbuds? Some earbuds have a very high impedance and should be driven with an amplifier. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4S earbuds that need an amplifier to drive them.
DSP manager can increase the listening experience dramatically. Just rip it out of the cm7 beta or the blue chronic homebase update.

You can get a decent headphone amp for less than $20. E.g. this one in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B0026RJQJ6/ref=pd_rhf_shvl1
If you listen to a lot of music and use nice earphones/headphones it's definitely worth getting one of these. Just make sure you get a rechargable one cos the batteries don't last long...
i seriously think there may be something wrong with your phone or maybe your earbuds...
of all the phones ive tried the atrix has all-around the best sound and volume... its one of the reasons i ditched the SGS2 for it. really no need to go and buy an amp. try getting better earplugs or see if theres really something wrong with your phone.
My wife called me saying her iPhone headset doesn't work on her new gs3. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. Anyone know if this is true?
More than likely it is. Most iPhone headsets don't work. She doesn't like the included headphones with the gs3?

They are in ear noise cancelling and not safe to use while driving and uncomfortable fit for her ear. The stock iPhone ones are great or she just got used to them. She had the evo4g and they worked great so I know it's ot a droid thing

Aren't ANY headphones in your ear while driving not safe?
There are apparently two kind of wiring in the head phones. All headphone with mic connectors have four terminals, however the order they are wired up is different.
I know this for a fact because my captivate headsets did not work on my Sony X10.
In fact if you try to press and hold the accept call button on the headset while playing music you will realize that they quality of music suddenly improves.
Solution either get some different headset or get http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
The above product worked well from captivate => X10. I probably would in your case too

The iPhone headset will not fully work on the galaxy s note or s 3 because of how apple made their remote.they love to custom products for their products.(greed)

Lose the overrated headphones and get something cheaper and better!
I heard that have an app that fixes the problem.
Is that true?
Go to the play store and do a search for eq apps, play around with the settings until your happy with the sound and also try out your ear buds you got with the iPhone and see how they sound.
I've found the nexus 4 to be quite flat in terms of eq and that's a good thing in my opinion.

best advice I've seen, buy yourself a decent set of headphones and the problem is solved.
Do I just have a bunk device or does the speaker on the back just suck a large amount?
Maybe bunk? Mine's fine. It's louder than my old S2 and no distortions or anything.

Same as above, speaker works great, better then my S3 for sure.

The original samsung headphones have no issues whatsoever. Its just my expensive ones like klipsch and monster that seem to pop and crack at high volune when they work flawlessly on other devices... does anyone know which headphones with the 3 buttons are compatable with the gs4. So far volume controls refuse to work on monster dna earbuds and klipsch s4i headphones. Is there a certain ohm or impedance the gs4 uses. Never had this problem with my atrix... a compatable list of 3 button headphones would be greatly appreciated.

Count me in too. My cheap $10 headphones which work flawlessly on every other device crackle and pop on my S4. When I use my auxiliary cable in my car, I do not experience this. I'm going to try the Samsung headphones.
Appreciated. Ill post a compatable list after I find the correct impedance number. Also what about the volume up and down anyone know? I the only ones I know that work are the beats ear buds with the remote. They work flawlessly. Unfortunately I do not own a pair....

any units with impedance of under 15ohm will have issues; look up the specs on your buds or cans.
