Default Beats?

Hi,

For people who have the phone, does the beats enhancer work and does it make the sound different without using the enhancer.

I am running sense 4 light on my desire a and I went into the equaliser and it told me which headphones I was using, presumably I chose studio or solo would the original buttons on the headphones work? The volume up and down?

Yes the Beats Audio enchancer really makes the sound "richer". Beats become louder and the voices crisper. I'd say it really makes a difference especially if you have some high quality headset (Sennheiser, etc).

Thanks for the reply, not sure if you have beats but if you do, do the buttons on it work the volume up and down?

Don't have the beats ears, so I can't really help you on that one.

Althou considering HTC has 51 % stock in BeatsbyDre I'm pretty sure every button works fine with HTC . (Can't confirm it thou)

DONATE TO ME
I use the Beats by Dr. Dre Studios with my phone.
I must say, when I play music with the HTC Music Player, it quite sucks.
I mean, it sounds pretty well, but I miss the bass.

So I've been using PowerAMP.
Great music player, and it has a bass button, which makes the bass awesome.
Sadly the HTC One X can't handle that very easily, because when I have the bass pretty high, and the volume pretty high too, it starts pushing away the high tones with kicks (Like in hardstyle music).
I didn't had this problem with my HD2.
I also had this problem a little bit with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and had it very much with the HTC ChaCha.

It could be a hardware problem, the quality of the sound module/soundcard (Or how is it called?)


But yea, in my conclusion...
It's all about personal opinions.
The HTC Music Player does not give me the bass I really want to hear from my Beats Studios.

I got my one x from Vodafone and it came with ur beats headphones I must say the sound quality is very nice crisp and clear

I don't no why people would use anything else to play music for me the beats audio is so nice to listen to I wouldn't use anything else.

Audio is all down to personal preference, I personally don't like the sound from beats headphones compared to my shure 535's. I done a test today, same song on the one x, my Sony Walkman and the wife's iPod, all set to the best sound I could get out of them at the same volume. The Sony Walkman was by far the best, much more bass than the other 2, very little difference between 2ND and 3rd but one x just wins.

Saying that I love the one x thoroughly!

my one x came with beats ear phones (urbeats) and i think they are amazing and the beats enhancer with the head phones is a big improvement over the normal equalizers but the beats speaker on the phone is abit of a let down shame really but loving the ear phones.
