Beats Audio an Nexus? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

can we port the beats audio from the sensation xe/xl to our nexus ?

is it purely software? I would of assumed there is a hardware component as well...

no htc says that a chip is in these phones but also other htc phones have beats integrated with a custom rom like the HD2, Sensation and others
so it should be possible or ?

The app Volume+ has an option for beats emulation

I don't think you can port it from the sensations. However I HAVE A WAY!

It is just an equalizer that can be replicated with DSP Manager

What you really need to do is....Go out to lets say best buy...Buy over priced speakers or headphones, and then listen to dre. Then you will have beats

Oh, Volume+ works, because I would have returned my SGN without it. I think I set the volume to +10, which seemed to be the loudest I could get without distortion. Your mileage may vary.
In regards to using V+ for tweaking the trebles and the basses... I played around with it for about 30 seconds, and it definitely works.

Right I forgot to say try to mod them into your device

It seems that supercurio is working on voodoo sound for our GN's (which is far superior to beats sound) so I'd wait for that. I don't get the hype with those things, I am a sound mixing engineer and they sound nothing close to studio monitors. I'm sure the sound could be emulated with a dsp app, but dsp manager doesn't work on my Nexus

beats audio. another example of how marketing works. there's always a sap for that.

Volume + works ok for volume, but the beats EQ, bass boost eq, have little to no effect on bluetooth audio.
DSP manager from CM really woke up my car stereo with super deep lows and no distortion.

There is no support for voodoo sound in the kernel, yet
hope it gets incorperated soon
Does anyone know if this has the same Wolfson sound chip in it as the Nexus S, so the voodoo sound quality will equal the Nexus S?

I don't think it has the same hardware, but I really couldn't find an answer here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/20/behind-the-glass-a-detailed-tour-inside-the-samsung-galaxy-nexu/
I'm very interested in this myself. It would be real nice if voodoo can be implemented.

even though it's not wolfson, the ti dac in the galaxy nexus is also supposed to be quite good. though personally i'm more interested in voodoo colour
As someone mentioned on IRC, this is really quite simple.
Just buy Supercurio one of these babies and it will be up in less than a weekend

SGS2 Version of Voodoo Control?

My previous phone (SGS1) had fantastic audio quality through headphones after installing Voodoo Control Plus. I was about to root my SGS2 so that I could improve the sound, however the application is not available to me. It appears that it's not compatible?
Are their any similar apps for the S2? It's not just the volume improvement, but the quality improvement that it brought.....

different sound chips on both phones. old sg1 used the yamaha chip as the s2 uses some crappy one that supercurio has not bothered working his magic on..hence why only voodoo louder to enhance the volume

Beats Audio is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. There is nothing better about the audio hardware in the phones that have Beats compared to those that don't. All that Beats is doing is putting an EQ curve in place that emphasizes the low end, giving you more bass. Odds are it is distorting the music rather than enhancing it.

This. Beats in phones is not like it is in things such as laptops, where hardware has also been enhanced.
Volume+ has a beats emulator.

There was a test on a other Website some time ago, showing Beats Audio for Mobilephones - e.g. HTC Sensation - does nothing...only EQ settings...so DSP Manager works well too.
you can flash glados kernel
and use franco kernel app or glados control app
then goto sound settings
you can imrove sound performance
then buy poweramp & ENJOY !

What is Beats audio?

There are some custom rom for DHD include beats.
I don't know why DHD can use Beats.
Doesnt HTC one series have special hardware tip for beats?
Is beats just an software equalizer ?
HTC one series' beats is worthless if so.

Yes beats is just software equalizer. I really don't see the hype but people are obsessed with it right now. You could literally get the same sound by setting eq levels yourself. The app volume + has an eq setting for beats in it and I have used that side by side with beats and it is the same.

I've always asked the same question to myself. I believe it is some kind of software equalizer, but you will notice it better with the corresponding hardware (those famous expensive Beats headsets). I'm not to much into music listening so I can't tell the difference.

That's actually been proven false and I think HTC and dre have gotten some heat for it. Any good headphones will work. They don't have to be beats headphones.

Yeah, more like "look at me, I'm wearing ultra expensive headphones".
Dr Dre was one of the richest celebs last year because of how he ripped off HTC and I guess HP with this gimmick.

HTC phones are the first and only smartphones to give you legendary Beats Audio sound. Customized Beats by Dr. Dre headphones also come with select devices.
Authentic Sound. With Beats Audio, your sound is truly an experience. Play games, watch movies, listen to music, and hear every detail. Plus, access your apps, libraries, and Internet radio in one place
Dolby or srs sound more better than beats with headphones like akg or sonny..

"Beats Audio" is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
Ok the earphones/ headphones are just to expensive. But you are talking about Beats Audio. I've tried...and there is no equalizer like Beats. I've tried with an eqaulizer. I suggest trying it yourself...you WILL...notice the difference in the music in-ear headphones only.

I have tried beats audio and headphones on my friends rezound phone. I then tried the beats setting in volume + with my headphones on my inspire. Sorry but mine sounded better. I wanted beats to be cool because I thought it was a neat idea but it turns out its just a bunch of bull. If you can find a program that will set your eq settings at the same levels then you will get the exact same effect. The reason mine sounded better is because my headphones are better than beats headphones. So the end result, good headphones equals good sound. Eq levels are just that.

That's what I meant, beats audio with better headphones not the crappy beats headphones.

I'm using Rockbox to play music right now.
Its sound quality is a lot better than stock music player.
You can try it out.
But it is still a beta version so it don't work properly sometimes.
