Wow, from the screenshots that looks quite terrible. It looks like it colors the sound way too much and just adds noise and volume to the lower 60hz of the spectrum through artificial means. I guess that means I will stay away from this like the plague.

....why must all my hobbies be so expensive!?! (read: audio, Phone ROMing, computers, MTB )
*cries*

Just flashed this and I gotta say WOW oh WOW. It freaking sounds awesome. Makes my Skull Candy 50/50 headphones sound even better! Thanks a million!

I just flashed this, and was skeptic, but must say, you can definitely tell the difference. Sound quality is amazing, and I'm using the stock Samsung earbuds that came with my phone.

Well use power amp or player pro and the app volume+. Get some quality headphones and not have to flash anything?

He also said that about the bravia engine. I am still trying to figure out why people still believe it works.

Bravia I knew was stupid. I would've thought the decent Samsung sound quality would deter people from using Beats since it's essentially an equalizer that sounds too artificial for me.

There was too much blind emphasis of Beats over on any HTC dual core devices and I hope most of the devs stay away from this.

Plus this:
Audio is something special.
When you say there is an improvement, people tend to listen closer and perceive something different even if it doesn't exist.
That's called placebo.

All I'm asking is intellectual honesty in order to not abuse of this many times proven fact.

I also think placebo-mods are affecting negatively everyone's work and also the confidence XDA users have in developers.

The solution is simple: It improves audio? That can be measured then!
If you can't measure it, it means it does nothing.

Me, I measured, Galaxy S II. found it wasn't working. It's not an opinion or a critic. It's a fact.
I'm pretty sure supercurio knows what the heck he's talking about, considering he's the mastermind behind voodoo sound project...

Terrible

Just flashed. Terrible Performance. Sounds Awful. TO ME. JUST MY OPINION.

I like music, and the extra bass with the boosted mid-range is awful, you can't hear some of the good parts of songs at all.

Re-flashing my ROM now, good thing I did an nandroid.

Exactly. Those who have good cans or IEMs will notice that Beats sound awful.

Dunno why people think beats is anything.........they make horrible headphones and even worse software. It's a gimmick for the most part. The hardware inside our phones for audio is made by Yamaha and they know whats up with sound. Get some better cans & poweramp to unlock the real audio power of our device.
