Best combination of apps for audio quality?

Hey all
I really want to sell my ipod touch because im not using it for much but music, id love to be able to listen to music on the SGS2 and enjoy it but its just not as loud as the ipod.
I have £400 westone headphones, i know theres winamp, poweramp and dsp manager but what would be the best combination and settings for loud volume and quality sound etc
Thanks

I use poweramp with dsp...give you a full range equalizer to tweak the sound and many customizable options

What sort of setting do you use?

I installed dsp manager but it doesnot change my sound.
Maybe I need a newer version?
Where could I get it?
Thx

[Q] How To Setup Built In Equalizer?

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.

Lacking in sound volume from speakers

Hello community.
I've recently installed the ICS MIUIv4_2.7.27]v.6.0[AROMA] [Android 4.0.4] ROM on my PLAY. I am loving it so far but there is one(and only)thing that bothers me, I tend to listen to music from the speakers but since I've updated the ROM the volume is very low and quality not the best as I used to have. No option for xLoud not any other loudness manager. Could anybody direct me somewehre I could get it to play music louder and better??
thanks

The play store has a bunch of apps that do.this
Personally, I use Equalizer, just mess with the EQ sliders until.you find something.that works.

Sound Synthesizer

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.

Note 4 software equalizer

I did not know that the phone had a software equalizer but I must say that I like it. Im using the note with Gold Xiaomi 2nd Piston Earphone and i must say they sound good. Now I am looking to get a pair of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 but this set up sounds read good for the price I paid for the ear buds.

its not as good as something like V4A but it's a hellofalot easier to tune. For a built-in eq, its pretty nice.

I run the large room reverb setting in my truck. Sounds awesome.

Where is there an eq?

Easiest way to find it is in Google music, go to settings you will see it there.

Does it only work for Google music, or any music app?

For my, it works with Google music, stock player and Double Twist (i think). I will also test it with poweramp.

Maybe I'm missing something but every time I look at the EQ settings they are reset. I've changed then and hit done.

I dont see any settings unless I put in my headphones.

if you use Power Amp it's easy to bring it up by a long press of "Music FX"

Does anyone know how to reset the eq? I got a different set of headphones and I wanted to run thru the setup wizard again. I already tried to clear data on adapt sound and soundalive.

How do you all find the DAC in the Snapdragon variant compared to the Wolfson DAC in previous Note devices?

in the Music app, go to menu > settings > sound alive > advanced
and to the second guy; Its better than previous built in chips, but without a way to tune the dac (custom kernel), it's hard to give a solid answer. my s3 with very finely tuned dac for my custom audio setup sounds world's apart. no comparison.

I like it for being stock on the phone. Im still thinking about getting a fiio E18 DAC. I just started out getting into better audio equipment. I had a pair of Ath M50s and vmoda m80. I looking to pick up the new ATH-MSR7 when they come out.
