Since my ICS rom lacks the Beats Audio EQ, I decided I'd play around with DSP manager to get a beats audio like sound. To my surprise, I found an EQ that in my opinion, that sounds better than the beats audio EQ found in the stock HTC music player. Use these settings in DSP and tell me what you think!

The dynamic range is off

I also use both Beats and DSPManager together.

I'm sure with enough tweaking you could get the same sound without the BEATS EQ, but why bother?? Beats makes it simple (with ANY headset) and sounds awesome.

EQ's always sound better/worse with different kinds of music. Something that sounds amazing for dubstep sounds like garbage for country.

There was actually a whole five page thread about this a little while ago, All the DSP posted are meant to enhance beats, but they honestly sound amazing with beats turned off, too. The second image in post 24 is the one I use the most, that plus virtual room turned to stage has a very interesting but pleasing sound once you get used to it. [Please note than some ROMs for some reason handle the virtual room settings differently, ineffabilis GB 1.0 for some reason doesn't play nice with virtual room settings, but stock and CleanROM 1.6.5 does]

Please tell me your running ICS cause no version of DSP at all will work on ICS well at least the roms I ran. Worked on GB but no sound changes when applying on ICS.

I use both DSP along with Poweramp Eq to get a nice mixed sound.

Exactly. I listen to a lot of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal/Hardcore and Beats kind of pisses me off at times because the thumping from the double bass drum and detuned bass guitar drowns out the guitars and vocals at times. :mad:

I use volume+ works pretty dam good, I use the diddy beats ear buds most of the time. They sound absolutely amazing with my tweaks... The ibeats (stock ).sound really good too,

just tried both dsp and volume+ (paid version) on cleanROM 2.3 (ICS) and had absolutely no change in the audio, either on the headset (beats) or speaker.
In ICS, there is a setting we don't have under sounds for media effects that needs to be enabled. Using volume+, it tried to take me to that setting but it doesn't exist on my ROM.

I have Volume Control Plus (paid version). I have used it in my last 4 phones & I love being able to lock the volume so I don't accidentally turn off the ringer etc while it's in my pocket.

I don't see any EQ type settings anywhere in the app however. Am I talking about the wrong app or am I just missing some settings???

    This. Beats is such a gimmick. Just use a good eq addon or something the music player already has. Headphones and buds have their own sonic signature. And then there is the mixing engineer/recording artist that puts their own sonic signature on the tracks (btw, don't you want to hear what they had envisioned in the music?) And finally there is Beats on top of all that. What if the music is mixed with a heavy bass line in the first place. Beats is gonna make it even better? Just the opposite.

    Lol there are two threads on similar topics.

    Yea if I only experienced beats with their standard eq I would absolutely never ever spend more than 20 or 30 dollars on them, if that. But they do put out some good quality products. The EQ is just meh and lame most of the time though.

    I'd say just about anything is better than beats. To each their own though!
