Hi there people, I am looking for to buy a nice set of in-ear headphone for my HTC one X, however I have realized by trying a cuple that i have here at home, the sound is actually really bad when I use a different set of headphones, nevertheless when i use the original ones that came with the phone it sounds better, but, to be honest for me they do not seem to be the best ones, I am always using the same app for music which is PowerAmp which I really love. Now what I need to know is that if some other users have experienced the same situation, not to say problem, cause i really do not want to buy a new and perhaps a expensive set of in-ear headphone if they are going to be as crappy as the rest i have tried so far. Any sugestions, advices are always welcome, and, if you also want to share and recomend your experiences with other headphones i am always willing to read about it.
Thanks and Regards
Well since the HOX is made with beats inside wouldn't it make sense getting beats headphones? Just saying.

Yes you're right bro, however that's the problem, honestly I don't like beats :S LOL, that's the reason why I was looking for another option, but thanks for your quote. BTW, I forgot to mention that on the previous message, sorry.

Update as I found some more
Hello all,
I use my phone (S3) to run Pandora through my boats stereo system, I have a rather large and loud system on the boat, so I usually end up playing DJ and taking drunkin' requests at our local sandbar, so Id like to make playlists on the fly EASILY, the Ipod is not so easy with the docking method it has! Its a great time non the less....
Anyways, I usually use Pandora through the 3.5mm headphone jack as I have that option installed in my boat. I also have an Ipod on the boat, the best sounding between the 2 is the Ipod.
Question, is there any music player app for these phones that compare to the way the Ipod will sound? Is it even possible to match that? I actually think the Pandora through the 3.5mm jack sounds pretty good but I believe the Ipod is better.
I have Winamp installed, and it sounds good but if I play the same "file" song, it will sound better via Ipod.
I have a Fusion ip600 marine deck that I use, it has the Ipod dock (Inside the unit, accessible through a door) as well as the Aux which I have the 3.5mm jack hooked up to. That's all the options I have for that deck, I may in the future get the 700 series which offers a USB hookup, but for now I want to keep the 600 series I have now.
Hopefully I am explaining this good enough!
Also whats the highest class 64gig micro SD card I can put in it? Can I do the Class 10? We bought the phones in June of this year.
Thanks all.
Mx player has an eq...not how great it is..i use the stock player through my bluetooth car deck...sounds awesome..320kbs...always use the best bitrate...

Oh...on the card i suggest samsung only....i bought a sandisk and it quit being recognized by phone or computer...google said these phones dont like other brand class 10...not sure the merit in that...prob a case by case scenario...keep your receipt!!!

Yes 64GB is max I believe. Also do you have Stock Rom or Custom ?
Music Player wise, I am not much of a music person but a audio book person. But please try Viper 4 Android Best Music mod and player.
If you want Ipod like interface, try Aurora

Poweramp is widely considered to be the best audio player for Android. It has an EQ. But to be honest, the playlist creation is a bit clunky.
There is a free trial. What do you have to lose?
64gb class 10 would be fine, im using one myself.. With the sound mods that we have, the s3 is gonna sound way better than any iPod, believe me, try using viper 4 android like Perseus suggested. Also as far as music player, I like Google's play music and it has an easy way to add songs to playlists, you just search for a song and you can add it to a playlist in an instance.. Poweramp is also good but doesn't stream from play music's all-access so I use play music

I looked up specs and your right, 64 is the max, As mentioned below in the other quote the class 10 would work, so I will buy one of those. I have a stock rom, I would have no clue how to do any mods to that! I will DL those 2 and give them a shot, thanks for your help!

Awesome, thanks for confirming the Class 10 part, I will get one of those. Im happy to hear that this phone would be better than the Ipod, because the system sounds great with the Ipod, and if this phone is better than thats awesome, just didnt want to degrade the sound in anyway after the amount of money I spent on the system. Thanks very much for your help. I will try your suggestions as well.
So, my conclusion is, I will buy and use the Bluetooth part of my deck and try the apps suggested and just pick the best that works for us. Thanks again guys for taking the time out to help. Much appreciated guys..

I installed it and it says the phone needs to be rooted? I have 0 clue what to do with that one!
And Aurora, is there anything else to that name? Cause it doesnt say anything about a music player? Just space things!
@1MoreMinute
Here's Aurora Link.
I wasn't aware Viper needed Root. Apologies. If you don't want to root then you can pass on Viper. I am sure there are other Mods like Mega Bass Beats or Dolby For Android.

No worries, I would love to root it if I knew I wouldn't completely screw the phone up and if it will make the music sound better than whats stock in the phone! Seems like an awesome app, I was able to look around in the app just wouldn't take to the changes I made. I will look into those other ones.
I went out and bought the bluetooth module and will install it this Friday, than Sat were taking the boat out and ill try some of the music player apps I downloaded and see which one sounds best.
Question, to the one member that said the phone would sound better than an Ipod, is that with the phone rooted and that Viper app? Or can I make it sound better with my phone not being rooted?
Thanks again all and have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Yeah it would be with the phone rooted, but you might want to give poweramp a try, it has the best equalizer I've tried without any mods and you don't need to be rooted to use it.. I also think it has a very easy way to add music to playlists, very much the same way play music does.. Happy Thanksgiving!

I actually looked for the Poweramp last night and totally forgot that I bought that app back in the day, so I have the unlocked version of it. So thats a bonus.
Let me ask, is rooting easy to you, or I should ask, if you never knew how to do it, and you are kind of tech friendly will it be easy for someone to do? Id like to learn it if its got some good things to it. Ive re formatted computers, drives etc, so Id like to think I know a little!

I think you'll be ok rooting that's kind of where I came from.. S3 is probably one of the easiest devices to root.. If you want to try it, read up on the rooting threads that we have.. Read and reread everything because its easy to miss steps and bad things can happen when you do that.. what firmware are you currently on?

4.1.2 - I hope I got that question at least correct!!
Well, I did read some of the threads,
1- Not even sure if I was reading the correct ones, so many things that I don't understand.
2 - Now I'm really not sure if I should even try it!
3 - Saw a video "How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S III" by XDAdevelopers , boy does he make it sound like a piece of cake and to you guys I am sure it is! I even went into the video description and saw the DL links, I did the easy one which was the Odin one! Easy there! Than I went to the files that I needed and got stuck! Not sure if I should try this.
4 - Anyone in the Tampa Bay FL area willing to help?? Beers or whatever on me! lol.....
Anyways, thanks again everyone for the help, I will install the Bluetooth module in our boat this Friday and putz with the apps on my stock phone for now.
Happy Holidays everyone, stay safe and enjoy!
Haha well now that you got your custom recovery, you have to flash super user to gain root.. If you still want to root go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and go down to where it says "CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP" go to that link and download the zip from there.. After that go into recovery and flash that zip, reboot and you will be rooted

Thanks, I did DL that link you mentioned in that thread.
Now, I have a bunch of apps that I DL from the market place, IE Handcent SMS, Tide apps, Quick Pic etc, will all my programs and everything else work when I root the phone? I know, probably some real newbie questions but I have to start somewhere!
Yes I do still want to root this phone to get the best possible sound quality I can. I spent too much money on this system on our boat to listen to something that produces crappy or not so great quality of sound. Not saying this phone is like that, because I don't think it sounds "THAT" bad at all through my car stereo using the 3.5mm jack. But if I can get better, I would really like that.
Just need to get the cahooooonies to start this! :good:
I did read that if you screw it up it will get bricked, either soft or hard bricked. And I did also see a video that reverses that, so I guess if I screw it up I can reverse it without voiding the warrenty. But I have to admit, I DON'T want to brick it because to undue that looks extremely HARD! haha

I still havent done it!
We went out on the boat today and listened to my S3 via Bluetooth with my Fusion Deck. I cannot complain using the Poweramp and stock player. Sounded damn good actually.
My next question is, I am currently looking for a SD card for my S3, I want a 64 gig, but I am noticing that the 64s are called SDXC, will one of those work? I found out that mean extreme capacity (SDXC) instead of high capacity (SDHC)
Thanks!

Hey guys, I faintly remember reading somewhere that developers were able to get the earpiece on the Nexus 5 to work as a speaker as long as the phone was rooted. So my question is, are there any developers that're working on modifying the top earpiece on the 5x to work as a second speaker (possibly for stereo sounds)? I know that if that were to happen, the top "speaker" probably wouldn't be as loud as the actual speaker on the bottom, but I'm excited for this to happen (hopefully) soon because coming from a Nexus 6, the single speaker on the Nexus 5X is a bit disappointing. Anyways, thanks all!
Some developer also did the exact same thing in one plus one...imagine that mod combined with v4android.. Awesomeness

Bump as this will be interesting, if and when a dev manages it
I'm sure this will happen, just need to wait for sources [emoji14]
@sshafranko is the only person that can perform that magic! He is a great guy. If someone asks him nicely I am sure he would try his best to help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/themes-apps/mod-tmon5surroud-sound-t3187359
Does he work on nexus devices as well or is it just Samsung? I might ask him but I'm always scared to ask devs to see if they can do this or that because they have other things to do then to cater to my wants.
Awesome mod! Thanks for the link and I'll be sure to follow!

Thanks stu and franko. You got it to work fast! Also, it's a bit ironic that I didn't know how to send you the mixer files considering I'm a CS major and had just come back from my computer lab.
All I did was check a box in root explorer and hit send. Please only send your appreciation to SShafranko. He really deserves it!
Anyone know if the earpiece speaker is the same size/quality/wattage as the lower main speaker? Curious about long term usage of a mod like this.

Totally different type of speaker. If it blows its very simple to change but to give you some assurance ive been using this mod on my Note 3 and S3 for over a year now with no ill effects at all.

Is your mod available? I used it briefly in my n5 but didn't have it long enough to see if the speaker held up. I'm glad to hear you haven't had any issues tho! I'm eaker to try it out when I can. Always a fan of your stuff.
