the beats by dre is probably a software thing rather than hardware which could be fixed by an update to the sound enhancer.

From what I see, Beats is hardware speakers & headphones, not software only (may include software too). This isn't to say that software couldn't help, but the current HTC WP7 devices have pretty poor speaker, at least in my opinion. My old T-Mobile TP2, T-Mobile Dash, & AT&T Tilt had much better sound quality.
Beats by Dr. Dre
Can't wait to see all the new Mangofied devices coming out this Fall. I'm most looking forward to what Nokia has up its sleeve since I think they don't have too long before they need to release their version of a swam song. HTC always makes good phones though, so if I feel the need to supplement my Dell Venue Pro I'll check out their offerings.

It's both, but it currently only works with headphones so the speakers will still be crappy (I have an Envy 14 Beats). The software controls the amount of Bass it amplifies in like an Equaliser.
Also, I accidently clicked thanks instead of quote, so you get a free +1 to your thanks meter

Just to add, to anyone reading this. It might not necessarily be limited to the headphone jack, that's just how it is on HP Envy's.
HTC could decide to add a Beats Speaker aswell... but Beats technology is VERY expensive, the only speaker they have at the moment is the Beat Box which is #300+ (That's pounds, yes my Envy is a US import and I have no pound sign ), Having said all this, HTC do have a controlling share now.
And yes, the difference is amazing but I do use Beats Solos... Not sure how it would sound with standard headphones.

They have poor sound period.
Nokia un imo has the best speakers hands down. Matter a fact one of the phones they unveiled today is said to be the best sounding smrtphome to date I believe its the Nokia 800. Wish it was a wp7 device and not Symbian.

this is probably a race motivated statement as u probably can't stand that an African American male invented what's possibly the greatest sound ever produced.

I believe he was talking about HTC Device, not Beats. If that's the case, he's correct. The HTC HD7 has terrible sound from its built in speakers. The TP2 I used to have had much better sound. Still not great, but at least I could hear it.
PS: Even if he's talking about Beats. What makes this a "race motivated statement?" He never used any racist/derogatory comment towards the creator. He just stated his opinion of "something" having poor sound quality. It's these kind of statement you post that get you in trouble with the mods of this forum. Please, just try to not make posts like this anymore. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

he could've been more specific in his reply. these speakers are usually only intended for things such as phone calls, alarms, and podcasts/apps not for hardcore things like music and movies, that's how u blow them out. also the SRS enhancement does enhance the sound from the speakers to a degree.

I agree, that is what the speakers are designed for, but why put them in a Phone that is meant to be a Media/Social Networking phone. They're fine for dumbphones like the Motorola RAZR, but WP7 is smartphone & is marketed as a media phone. It's essentially a Zune Phone with additional functionality. I may hate the iPhone, but must admit it has amazing sound even on the built in speaker(s). I mean, even some dumbphones like the Nokia Music Express has much better sound quality. We pay good money for these phones, whether they're Android/WP7/iPhone/what ever, they should give us some quality for that money.
Oh, & while we're at it. include a $5 FM antenna in the device so we aren't restricted to using wired headphones to listen to FM radio, granted I'd never use it as I don't listen to music on the radio, but still. Having FM Radio & the sound enhancement of HTC Sound Enhancer restricted to wire headsets/phones is stupid IMO. I mean come on, this is the day of wireless technology such a BT.

the speaker in my arrive sounds tons better than the iPhone. and the Nokia music express is actually a Symbian smartphone, so of course it's gotta have a great speaker since its built for music.

I'll have to take your word for it, never heard the Arrive's sound quality. I have a HD7. I wouldn't call the music express a smartphone, yes it has Symbian, but an older version of it that's lacking many features of a true smartphone. The Nokia Nuron now, is another story. My room mates have had both & the Nuron is much better & has great sound quality as well.

the SRS enhancement within the sound enhancer works without headphones and there are many radio apps that allow listening to local radio in more superior digital audio quality rather than analog which is what's found on FM Radio.

Some of Sound Enhancement works w/o, but the main feature with the most effect does not & never has, even in WinMo. Do those radio apps work without headphones & if so, are they using the FM Receiver or some kind of Data Connection thing? If they aren't working without headphones & not using the FM receiver, than how does this relate to my antenna comment? That'd be an Apples & Oranges thing.

I'm a big fan of my Moshi Mythos headphones. They take a great beating but go like a champ and sound almost as good as my senn cx200s.

Hi all,
I found that the Waves MaxxAudio on Oppo find 7 is very interesting. ummmm...is it possible to port those on G3 ? I guess it does neeed a specific DSP chip to run on ? Please enlighten me!
I think the G3 does neeed a huge audio processing correction. Headfone audio quality is way too crappy. I'm using ViperFX with paid Waves IRS but i think it just induces too much latency

It does not sound great. S4 does have Wolfson DAC as far as i can remember. G2 and G3 come with Qualcom base DSP so thats normal if it sucks. Im using Senheiser IE8 for the headfone but it just doesnt feel right. I also experienced the same with LG G2 ( probably with all android fone ;P ). Maybe im just asking for too much there hehe. Anyway, i hate latency. If we can bring Waves from Oppo Find7 then i would love to try too. My works involve alot with those Waves plugins and I think they r doing great job in DSP realm.

I don't know about htc one m8 but lg g3 has a really loud speaker.Voice is clear and loud.
About bass in headphone,it also depends upon the qaulity of headphones.I use standard handsfree that came with g3 or sometimes use galasy s3's handsfree.Both gives nice bass.

if you want a phone to have great sound, go for M8 because they have Boomsound, also the speakers have better quality than the G3...but overall, the price you get the M8 you buy 2 G3's phones...and doesnt worth the price difference, so...yes, you should go for G3.
and about theyr model number, they dont say anything about if they have a DAC or not, this model dont have DAC for audio, no DAC in every model variation!
I am using an unlocked ATT G3 on cricket. I use Iheart radio while exercising, walks etc. I have noticed my wifes 39.00 ZTE phone has better sound through the headphones.
I have downloaded and installed countless equalizer programs through play store. They all seem to lower an already low volume.
I picked up an IDOL 3 from ebay and the sound is terrific.
Is there any hope for the G3?
Thanks
Try viper for android i use the expert settings can change how your phone completly sounds
I was under the assumption that the phone had to rooted to use this. Mine is not

Try using another pair of earphones or headphone to see if it is your phone problem or your earphones

I have tried a few different sets. I have also tried them on the alcatel idol 3 where they sound great. The alcatel has some sort of JBL enhancement though
Now whats the problem is it just crappy qaulity or hisses and pops and random noises

Sound isnt as loud as other phones I have owned and there is very little bass and sounds like a transistor radio.
Sorry for so many questions but besides the headphone sound I really like the phone and would prefer to keep it rather than the plastic idol 3 I just purchased to try.
Does anyone know of an equalizer that works on this phone without rooting?
Thanks again for putting up with my quandary!!

If you rooted you could install viper. BTW it won't erase your phone if you use one click root (lg). Work like a charm.
