Hello!
I have been a Xperia PLAY user for a long time now some time ago I installed the Beats Audio plugin to my mobile, and now I'm kinda unsatisfied with the performance... somehow I came bassdicted (lol). I've been searching on internet about what are the differences between them so I can decide which Is better... or if I should stay with beats.
Personally, I think both add-ons suck . I much prefer to use the Equalizer app with Bass Boost at 100% (only on stock-based firmware)
And i think u r wrong. Those ad-ons were meant for u to use it with earphones/headphones. If u use it without then u wouldn't notice the diff. So i think u need to get ur fact straight n test it thoroughly before consider them as a "useless" ad-ons.
Beats Audio plugin? Care to share?

No kidding, you don't think I know that? The equalizer's bass boost effect wouldn't work either if I wasn't using headphones/earphones. Get your facts straight before pointing fingers

Hey man, don't trip. I'm Not pointing fingers to any n i've tried the eq. It dosen't go loud as much. Plus its an additional app just for that purpose. Kinda waste of space. Lol.

what's good about beats? seems like it's all hype
So along with the 10+ threads we have about ICS for the international GSII (that don't help us at all) are we gonna see 10+ threads on how Beats can be ported to any Android device now?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525172
and the actual thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
The download list says it works for samsung devices. I am testing it now.
I really hope this doesn't bring an influx of "does this ROM have Beats?" questions.
It's vastly overhyped and to an extent, the sound quality isn't any better than what you can configure with Poweramp.

Just installed it, I can tell a difference. Too bad there is no control app for it.
Man not this again. Flashed it last time and then he said that it was fake and didn't really do anything. what's the difference with this one?

Is there a particular reason people don't like Beats? I haven't tried it, but it seems to be immensely popular although I'm sure a lot of that is due to trendiness.
Even Starbucks made good coffee at one point....

My reasoning is as follows.
On the Beats Audio HW side, it is overprices POS that lives on name brand along, much like BOSE. This is not to say the Hardware is bad, but rather that it is highly over-priced for what you get and can often get better quality for 1/3rd or less of the MSRP if you buy other brands.
As for the SW side of things Beats audio artificially increases the the lower end of the audio spectrum through audio "enhancement" algorithms which actually colors the sound and effects not only the Lower Bass but Mid-bass as well and imho ruins the music. It ruins it by changing the sound signature drastically from the original. Basically from all I have seen through wave-guide charts is that it adds or amplifies all frequencies under 120hz to be at an equal or higher level than the highest output for a single frequency. In short, it makes all music sound heavy in bass whether or not it was the artists original intention.
Can't say that's what I want happening to my music then. Thanks for the fairly detailed explanation.

I hope more people realize this. People at my gym walking around with these headsets on their heads thinking "look, I'm cool and I got swag cuz I'm wearing Dre by Beats"
I was just wondering what people's experiences on this are? I see it built into a lot of roms these days, but I'm happy on Bonestock right now so I've been hesitant to bother installing it separate because it looks like a pain. I'm happy with how Poweramp handles the EQ (I don't use Beats ever) but I was wondering if maybe people have noticed a big difference even with a great EQ like Poweramp has? Is it worth the hassle to install separate?
hands down the best! I have it installed and run it over beats. the customization is amazing and the sound is awesome. I am using a pair of House of Marley Zions and it could't get much more crisp and clear. the bass will blow you away as well.
I've got to second what ADodson said. I never have Beats turned on...just always use V4A. Sounds way better.

same here. v4a is the best equalizer ive ever used and it makes my skullcandy smokin earbuds sound ten times better.

Can anyone link me to an easy way to install it or be kind enough to quickly write me the steps? I know it can be different from device to device so that's why I'm asking if anyone's done it.

BS.
If you want to record video, you could indeed run into issues because in the camera app there is no manual gain control.
You could hack the gain via the noise suppression fix and editing values in a file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/mod-oneplus-3-audio-mods-t3407025), but that's not really practical...
If you record audio only, there are several good apps which allow to set the gain for excellent results even at high volume levels. No problem.
And, regardless which kind of recording you do, think of one important thing: Music is copyrighted, and musicians need to earn money. So don't spread your recordings without permission from the artists!!!
(And don't record if the musicians don't explicitly allow it!)

I think is software but you gotta take into consideration who uses these stock android devices. It is either android geeks that spend most of their time flashing new roms or fanboys that will never admit there are flaws. So Google always gets away with crappy sound recording because noone ever complains or noone ever tries. Most of these people just use the phone for texting and flashing roms. It is sad but that's the truth. If you want the real package get a Samsung or an iPhone or HTC if you can stand Sense.

You can try via their forum but as I said I have seen this through all nexus devices and my guess would be that the whole stock android code is not adequate enough for recordings at concerts.

As many mentioned, the volume is much lower after the update.
Do we really need a separate thread on this ? Not trying to be rude but there's multiple threads where people have reported the issue. And personally my volume sounds the exact same as it did on 9.0

Agreed. I prefer it like this as well. The phone is still quite loud when needed.
I got it fixed, probably by itself.
I played a song in PowerAMP and launched a game, then the game got very loud and stayed that way.
All good now

Android 10 and October patch update release at the end of this month
At this point, I'm not even sure the customer support representatives are even aware or knowledged with when it will be released, and are just saying dates on a whim. But here's to hoping. Would be happy if it releases by the end of October

What's wrong with the headphone output? I find it much better (no noise) than my A1 (which is unbearable). Volume is high enough for IEMs and also big headphones (Marshall major). Desktop cans (Beyerdynamic DT990pro 250ohm) can't be drived properly, but why should they..
There won't be more customizations, this is all you get. It was always the case with pure Android (One/Nexus) line and probably will always be.

Built in EQ is crap anyway, I never bothered using it. Mi Enhancer was absolute crap too, I'm glad it's gone. Volume..there were numerous people complaining about volume on Mi A1 - this phone provided more than adequate power to 250ohm headphones. With 16-60ohm headphones the max volume was deafening. A3 is bearable at max volume, but I can't imagine who can listen at such high volume comfortably. I have hard time believing the never ending complaints about "battery drain" and "low headphone volume" with every monthly update.
If you want real, high quality EQ, use RE Equalizer or simplified Eqfy by the same company.
XDA is place for helping, not for whining or "letting developers know" - they do not read these posts, they do not care about them. People on XDA will try to FIX your problems. If you're not interested in this, send a bug report from the phone and hope that one day it'll get developers' attention you think it deserves.

I have Mi A1 right now and A3 at hand. I am not going to comment the rest of your post. Please, next time use spell-checker (it's native in Android One series, so won't use much of the precious RAM) as it's really hard to read and even harder to understand your text.
