Settings are equalizer on set to flat smooth off
with Vol + free app settings .
headset speaker on virtual room on
settings
EQ flat
Vol Level +3
Bass +2

Battery Monitor + PlayerPro Music Player

+1 battery monitor/ playerpro

PowerAMP is eargasmic once you've had a play around with settings.
Disclaimer: My opinion is not liable if you damage your ears to awesome music quality over long periods of use!

louder sound through headphones - voodoo louder

Poweramp + Good earphones
Poweramp sounds great with the stock earphones (those that come in the retail box) and I guess it would sound even more awesome with a better pair of earphones.

Thanks for all the replies! The battery monitor, from who? Whats the author? It is multiple apps called "battery monitor" hehe. I will check out the different sound apps listed

Thanks downloaded, tried & uninstalled!
Volume + Does a better job IMO...
Haven't tried it for the headset, however for the speaker I found Volume + to be clearer and louder.
As far as headsets, haven't given it a try but Volume + works amazingly well with my Desire HD!
Any1 else have any input on DSP vs Volume +?
Yeah I have some input. Volume + is a totally different kind of app that has nothing to do with bass, treble or graphic equalizer. Volume + sets your ring tones, notification tones, etc. DSP manager is for making your music or video sound better, not making ringtones louder..

Thanks, I need to play with it some, but it's nice to have some control over the sound.

Went back and compared both once again (this time with a headset!).
What I noticed:
As you stated above, Volume + makes everything LOUD. In my ears that's a good thing, and why I choose to apply it to my loud speakers.
As for headsets... Volume+ is less customizable in terms of eq, however it still has a very commendable range of modifiers. I went with Volume+ in the end simply because it was simply louder whilst still maintaining clarity at lower volumes.
As for Bluetooth devices... don't use so couldn't tell.
At the end of the day... Listening to audio on the Flyer isn't so great... Lots of Hiss and distortion. Voodoo is MUCH better, unfortunately its only available on the SGS.
So... I will not be using the Flyer for listening to music unless absolutely required!
not to bad if you have a decent headphones
I use my flyer everyday to listen to music and podcast and its not that bad. A set of great headphones makes a huge difference. Got me an ATH-M50 using spotify and the audio is not bad. No lossless mind you but no hiss or cracks you speak of. Been wanting to make play with the equalizer but spotify doesn't give you much options. I think this is a great app for people who wants more control of the sound not just loud. However was thinking about getting a headphone amp for that. Fiio E11.
Running Jellybro 20120814 (maguro) and tried it with Spotify.
It did not work.
Still looking for an equalizer that affects the output not the internal Android API channels or what ever...
Any Idea someone?

No idea what you are trying to achieve based on your text. Did you try DSP manager?

[Q]Power amp eq settings

Hello there. This is my first thread here. So I've got power amp and i was really wondering what are the optimum settings for the equalizer. I know it depends on personal taste but
please do tell me your current settings.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Rock EQ, 40% bass tone, 50% treble tone, 35% stereo x with limit activated.
Because I listen to rock and punk songs mostly.

PowerAmp

Anybody know why powerAmp music players volume level is reduced when equalizer preset in changed to 'extreme bass' or 'soft bass'..?
actually I don't like dspmanager that's why am using powerAmp
I use player pro + dsp pack , that's amazing
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
because that's the way it's supposed to be.You can notice that even at your audio system home.If you can turn off the bass and you'll see that sound from other speakers will improve.
Anyways,I use power amp too,in my opinion it's the best.the volume reduces in order to not ruin the sound by adding pledges.You can turn off the limit by pressing limit button and move up the first channel from equalizer bar.Your sound will be very distorted.
Extreme bass and those things are especially for good headphones.It's obviously you can't feel the bass or something on a phone ))

[Q] music player with independent volume level

Hi.
Are there music player apps for android that have an option in the settings that allows the application to set the volume level independent
of other music player apps?
The idea is that I want to play music in one audio player at a relatively low volume, while playing an audiobook in a different audio player
at a higher volume level.
So far most of the apps I've tried only seem able to access the main volume level that applies to all apps (like BSPlayer and jetAudio).
greetings and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek
Did you try PowerAmp ?
I'm not 100% sure the volume control is independant tho.

I didn't try poweramp yet, but I'm interested if someone can confirm whether poweramp indeed has an option for this in the
settings that allows the volume of poweramp to be set independent of the main volume.
Maybe I can find out by installing the trial version...

Given that there are so many volume manager apps, you'd expect there to be at least one that offers the capability to manage
the volume of specific apps, rather than managing the generic 'media volume' that applies to all apps.

I can testify that you can do this with PowerAmp. In the EQ settings it has a preamp slide, which will allow you to make it louder or quieter independent of system volume.

That is indeed a kind of partial solution. jetAudio also has preamp slider and that significantly reduces the volume relative to the volume level
of other audio apps, but it doesn't seem the perfect solution, compared to actually having a regular volume slider that only applies to a specific app, because I think that would allow the volume to be set even lower than the preamp slider allows.
Still, good to know poweramp also has such a preamp slider. I guess it can also be used in combination with reducing all the EQ settings to get the volume down even lower.

Any way to get a volume or EQ that works only on specific apps (like Spotify)?

Are there any volume or EQ apps or hacks that can work on a specific app (say Spotify) or media only and not affect the whole phone? I often want to listen at a lower volume than the lowest stock phone volume (I've got the tinnitus). Sucks that Spotify removed the inbedded volume control.
I've been using an EQ app (Music Volume EQ) with the settings lowered for listening to music but it affects the whole phone (earpiece, speaker, alerts etc.) and I've slept through an alarm when the EQ was on and I didn't realize it.
