Audio Quality? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Any one care to elaborate on audio quality?
Thanks!

Haven't used the audio jack yet, but via bluetooth there's no problem. I did have to add an equalizer app, especially to boost bass in my car.

I remember the GSII was notorious for system noise when listening to music through headphones(wired).
Does anyone know what the audio chip in it is yet?

[Q] Beats audio icon with other headphones

Just curious, I noticed my beats audio is 'enabled' and the icon is in the tray with my other buds, and my gaming headphones (using the music app). The deep bass is present as well.
Is that normal? I thought beats audio only was active with the actual beats headphones? Does it just turn on every time you use the music app?
Nope. Any decent headset even car stereos with aux

Beats audio enhancement becomes available when ever the headphone jack is used with a stock Rezound.
Yeap its an an audio setting that will work with any headphones or audio system through the 3.5 mm jack, its just that the sound profile is tuned to match the beatz headphone frequency range but will work well with lots of other brands. The jack doesnt tell the phone beatz are plugged, just that a line out is plugged in, just happens that Beatz tuned it to heat suit the exact range of their headphones.

Now if only they would enable it to be used with blue tooth Headphones.
Also i only works with the music app, wish it would also work with Pandora, but oh well! Makes me music sound great!

Beats Audio

Hi, I can`t say that I`m a fan of beats audio but without it, the phone lacks a bit of bass impact, this is compared to an siii, ipod touch 3g and ipad 2, the volume is also very low without beats with the 4th notch equal to the first on the siii but that is fine since I like listening to my music softly. However whenever I enable beats audio there is a distinct increase in background noise that doesn`t really affect rock music but does classical and such. This is especially annoying in the gallery app where you cannot turn off enhancers but rather choose between htc enhancer and beats with the htc enhancer increasing bass to the point that everything sounds boomy and echoes. Does everyone have this issue with beats and if so how do we fix this?
TURN BEATS OFF ALWAYS.
Beats Audio is just essentially an EQ setting that is being hyped for marketing. To get the best sound, you need to do equalization based on your listening device, ideally at the amplifier, not the source. For example, audio will sound a lot different in your car than in your living room. So you want the source (the phone) to output a flat, unchanged signal, then adjust the EQ (or tone controls) on your car stereo or home receiver to make it sound best.
Now I'm guess you are probably talking about listening to music on headphones which is a different story, since the headphones don't have an EQ. In that case, just use a music player app (like PowerAmp) that allows you to adjust the EQ in the playback software. You could actually save different profiles: headphones, car, living room to switch between them. Problem with that is, then say you are watching a movie in your living room instead of playing music on your phone, then the movie may not sound optimal. That's why it's best to have the source material unchanged and do the equalization at as close to the amplification device as possible.
The only value of Beats is as a fashion statement for today's young people.

Sony Audio Recorder with original headphones: no Stereo or Binaural rec, only mono :(

Hi people!
I have an issue with Sony Audio Recorder app and noise cancel headphones that are included with the phone (MDR-NC31E)
The new update adds the Binaural feature to record "3D" sound using the headphones microphones.
article here:

I tried the new feature but the recording is in mono, not even stereo! It uses the headphones microphones correctly but the risult is in mono. :crying:
Maybe there are different version of the headphones?
Any of you with this problem?

Bluetooth Audio quality & Enhancement

I used to use WIRED EARPHONES (SMILE JAMAICA) with my MOTO Z PLAY on 3.5mm jack.
Now i want to switch to wireless earphones for hassle free workout in the gym.
but the problem is Audio Quality of the Bluetooth audio.
1. Wired & WIRELESS earphones sounds same when played through any music player app, besides wired one is a bit louder.
2. but when I apply any EQ Enhancement, Wired earphones sound great & virtualization is amazing (i.e. output quality enahnces like 50 to 100) but Audio enhancements doesn't work pretty much the same with wireless earphones (i.e. output quality enahances only like 50 to 52) i.e. wireless earphones sounds like I'm playing 64kbps mp3 file.
Why it so? In developer option CODEC is SBC as earphones are only supporting SBC.

Bluetooth audio issues.

Hello. I'm facing quite a bit of Bluetooth issues with my phone and the Bluetooth speaker. Like, when i listen to music on the wynk app, with the equaliser in the app on, the sound quality is really great. But when the equaliser is off, then the audio quality and loudness deteriorates quite a bit. Sound quality should be the same in YouTube app too as is in wynk music. Tried many equaliser apps too, nothing works. Why isn't the Bluetooth audio sound quality uniform throughout? Is this an issue of my android phone? Kindly help. I have a Nokia 5.1 Plus.
