Does the "beats" equalizer work with Pandora?

---

I listen to Pandora a lot and I plan on getting this phone tomorrow. I just was wondering if the equalizer works with Pandora and how the equalizer works in general with the ear buds. Thanks.

The EQ works for the entire audio output of the phone through the headphone jack, so it would affect pandora as well I would assume.

I've read reviews that say the Beats Audio is only available in the HTC audio app.

I believe Beats is only for the HTC music app, other apps will not have beats audio enabled.

just use Equalizer

It does not work in Pandora. Only in the stock apps like the HTC music player. Maybe it will be added to other apps in the future, but I doubt it since it's rather specialized to one manufacturer of phones right now. I have heard of very good EQ apps like those posted in this thread though. I really don't think the Beats EQ setting is so special that it can't be replicated pretty easily.

I never listen to music on my phone with headphones anyway, just through the aux on my car stereo. even then I set eq through the stereo anyway. headphone wise I just use them with my ipod touch when I'm at the gym.

Picked mine up Monday.
Beats only activates when playing through the HTC music app and Headphones (any) are present. Sound is more Robust with beats activated, and much louder.
I was surprised at how much louder the audio became. Many times I've longed for more head room on my iPod or phone. Please be warned at High Volumes beats can cause hearing loss. I hope Dr. Dre and HTC put a disclaimer out there somewhere.
Maybe they only tested the software with the iBeats included.

I will checkout Pandora, never used it on mobile since it was not supported well on WM6.5. I did checkout Slacker, and it was the worst sounding crap I've ever heard. Anything that resembles bass has severe clipping. Haven't tried the beats earphones yet as I have a nice pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pros, as well as a pair of Klipsch image S4's.

Actually it does work. Beats Audio is activated as soon as you plug in headphones. What you cannot do is control the EQ Curve in Pandora so you receive the default "other" setting.

If you get a sense 4 Rom it works great
