I've heard many people say its possible to make the stock headphones of the galaxy nexus sound like Beat's or even better using just the stock Music equalizer. So Im wondering what setting's do you use in the equlaizer? i mainly listen to hiphop music and rap but sometimes rock/country.
Screenshots would be helpful
I'd like to find out how is that possible too?...

Try Volume+. It has settings for "Beats Emulation" and will work in all applications without fiddling with their own EQs. It's good for "overclocking" the output of your headphones and speaker as well.
There don't seem to be any controls for the synthesizer under Sound. The only app I can access one is from Music Hub which is another stupid, pre-installed subscription service (one day left). I can turn it on there, then use TuneIn/iHeart Radio to stream music. Is there any other way to access the controls?
If your phone is rooted, I suggest DSP Manager. It is an excellent equalizer, which is what I assume you are looking for.

Yeah, that sounds like what I might be looking for. But I'm reading that people are having problems with it on the Note 2 and there are a number of versions of DSP Manager. You wouldn't know which one works, would you?
If not, no biggie. Looks like Music Hub's Equalizer is still functional even though my trial has expired and I have no intentions on renewing it.
Im using noozxoide app. Its free in the market. Fully customizable, and its so far the best sounding one that I've come accross yet. Ive tried the dsp manager with the beats and the acid mods, but most of those just make the sound louder and not so much better. Noozxoide actually makes my music sound full bodied and realistic. Bass can be boosted as well and makes my stock truck stereo sound like I have a subwoofer. The best part is it works with all my music apps, not just the installed music player. I stream pandora exclusively (havent used the radio or cd player in my truck for about two years now) so this really makes listening to music even better. Give it a shot. I dont think you'll be dissapointed. If you don't like it, its easilly uninstalled unlike some of the other mods.

Yes I am. I have a samsung something3000 I got for $30 on Amazon. It has the latest bluetooth audio codecs, so about, if not better than cd quality. It also has a mic for taking phone calls. Sounds awesome.

Hmm pretty sure I have the same Bluetooth. I hear the difference when plugged in to headphones but not on Bluetooth. Any ideas?

Thanks for the recommendation, nuc noob! I downloaded and tried it out -- a very confusing app -- and I wasn't able to get it to sound better with my headphones than the Equalizer in Media Hub (which still functions even if you don't subscribe, thank goodness). So I uninstalled it.
Speaking of headphones, I'm surprised to find out the ones that came with the Note II are actually pretty good as far as bass goes. I tried on a pair of Sony over-the-hear headphones and the volume nor the quality was nearly as good. So I'm fairly happy with everything so far.

Not sure. I went thru all three and set them up my way. I know the blue tooth changes work because I use it the most. I just plug it into the aux in of my truck or into my computer speakers in my room. I adjust the equalizer and room size in the app based on my speaker size and I can tell the difference. My only suggestion is to verify under sytem settings/sound/sound effects, that noozxoide is selected. Ibalso played with every possible setting one by one while listening to music and adjusted to my taste for the wired output, built in speaker, and the wireless output. It may take a while to figure out all the settings, but when you get it all set up, it will be totally worth it.

Bonus: if you like Pandora radio, head on over to evo lte thread, original development, badseed rom and scroll down to there mods and add ons. They have a transparent Pandora thats been tweaked for unlimited skips, and no ads. Its the latest Pandora 4.0 version. Download the apk, uninstall the old one, install the badseed customs Pandora, proffit! Just make sure you hit their thanks button. Thet make amazing stuff iver there. Just wish I could get them all note II so they could do some magic over here.

So tell me guys which one do you prefer, and why?
Handwritten from my Note 2

Google because all my music has been on it for the past 9 months or so lol

I like the stock player since it is slightly more integrated into the system than GPM is. It makes managing music a bit easier and has some extra features I forgot.
However, I use GPM. Why? Because it has a built in EQ which doesn't limit the max volume, unlike the stock player. If you change EQ settings on the stock player, the max volume decreases quite a bit.
Neither. Both are lacking a good tree structure (Genre --> Artist --> Album --> Songs) and a good EQ. So even after years, i always fall back on PowerAmp
Probably been asked but every rom I use stutters especially on my favorite player poweramp. Is there a fix somebody knows about I haven't found one yet? I tried switching music files, different mods, buffers, etc. Drives me nuts since I listen to music daily on my phone.

Have you tried the equalizer? Or try another music app altogether: Apollo w/ DSP Manager

Yeah some work some don't really like poweramp though. Might stick with neutron and noozxiode sounds great. No stuttering either go figure.

Tested on Galaxy Nexus (i9250), but maybe similar to s2.
I solved "my" problem with PowerAmp stuttering (micro lagging) in Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with these steps:
In Trickster Mod:
1.) This is the uppermost -> Set RAB (Read ahead Buffer) to 128 (exactly, no more).
2.) Make sure that min frequencies are 350 or more.
In PowerAmp:
3.) Settings/ Audio/ Advanced Tweaks/ Audio Buffer Size -> set to Large +250ms (probably not essential)
4.) Profit
Pls reply if it helps or not

Hey guys,
I'm running Skynote 8.3 at the moment with the Perseus Kernel.
I primarily use Poweramp as my audio player of choice. On top of that, I use 320kbps MP3's and FLACs.
I've tweaked the DAC through STweaks to the best my ears can appreciate. The same goes for Poweramp.
Now, is there any other method of further increasing audio quality with these two running simultaneously? I'm looking to increase the dynamic range of my music a bit. I primarily use ATH-M50's or Super.Fi 5EB's.
I'm not quite looking for things like Ac!d audio, Beats, etc. I'd rather not have 50,000 audio processors running simultaneously either. Ac!d always messed up for me anyway..lol.
Any ideas? I'd like to install things that are easily removable rather than a slew of software included in a single package.
Thanks!
Install Sony's xload and clear sound audio enhancements
You can get the zip from pimp my ROM in the play store

XLoud I tried once, it was too loud lol.
I think I'll give the other enhancements a try though, thanks!
