Poor bass with third party headphones

Sound with the HTC supplied headphones is OK, but I've just tried some Goldring gx200's and there was hardly any bass and overall poorer sound
What is the problem?

Are you using the built in Audio player?
Did you enable the 'Audio Booster'?
It is a known problem that this happens. You need to disable the Audio Booster as it has a bug that ruins the bass.
This has been talked about over and over again!

I have seen the audio booster problem mentioned, but I did not find any posts where it mentioned this problem with other headphone makes.
In my case audio booster was off for both headphones

It is a software bug, therefore it affects all headphones, no matter who made them.
If you enabled Audio booster at any point EVER, then it will screw the bass up.
If i remember rightly, you have to turn it on and then off again while the headphones are connected and it should solve it.

I have not used Audio booster at all. If I use the HTC supplied headphones then bass is fine, but if I use the third party ones there is no bass.
I can't see why it would make any difference, unless there is some electronics within the HTC phones to alter the sound/signal

With Radio or Media Player?

Are you talking about listening to radio or to the mediaplayer?
Because only the orginial headset and some replacemnets have an radio antenna in the headset cord.

I am using the RC E100 with my own Sony MDR-ELX90P headphones, and even without Audio Booster, I'm getting plenty of bass.
I can't understand why it would be different for you.
How are you actually connecting your 3rd party headphones by the way?

I am using an adapter to convert the mini-usb to standard headphone plug. This adapter is working OK on my Trinity, and the headphones work OK on other devices.
So its a bit odd.
Sound is from mp3's, I'll try the radio later

Are you sure by chance you do not have a fake headphone?
I bought a fake (I did not know that before) Sony Ericsson headphone, and it has no bass...

We are using SRS WOW 2.1 (this disables Audiobooster automaticly), to play around with different sound patterns.
Our new Bluetooth headphones must be able dealing with extreme low bass and high trebles untill we got over modulation at high volume.
We also tested competitive headsets from Sony, Motorola and some cheap Chinese copy-cat though they all give a more than average deep bass.
There is somewhere in another thread mentionning about "gradually decreasing bass" each time when another applic is opened (not the specific audio booster bug)
sorry, couldn't fins the thread anymore

[Q] 3.5mm audio output while using AVRCP Control

Hi people,
Does anyone know if there is an app/hack I can use so that when I pair up my Jabra BT3030 Dog tag unit to my i9000, audio is still sent through the 3.5mm stereo jack instead of via Bluetooth audio?
The reason being is that the audio quality loss does my head in when I'm playing music off my phone via bluetooth in my car. I would prefer to control the tracks with AVRCP on remote while audio is still outputted through 3.5mm.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hey, I spent a while to get this to work on my I9000 but then I found it works by default like this on the Galaxy SIII so that may give you something to investigate.
I had the idea to Disable the Sink service in the audio.conf file but as it works for me now I haven't investigated it.

Which headset for P970?

Hi, Can someone help me to find a headset (with mic) [no headphones, sorry] fully compatible with our p970?
I bought:
AKG K350: microphone doesn't work
Sony DR-EX39PP: microphone doesn't work
...
If you write me the model of compatible headphones/headset, I can make a list of compatible/ not compatible models.

Altec Lansing In ear-Headphones
I am currently using Altec Lansing made headphones, for sure you would know they made excellent quality on their speakers products,

Using the MZX 206 now, well clarity of sound, very very solid bass and fully working with our LG P970 on microphones calling and receive, music forward and reverse track.
Beside that, i am also using this one too for better heavy bass music listening, this one with enchanced bass, really good sound performer and solid listening

I love the LG in-ear earphones. Probably the best part of the phone :\ Didn't expect them to be good but had to try them out after my old ones died. The bass is pretty solid with PowerAmp

Just go to LG service center, there you can have original P970 earphones with MIC .

Usb audio out

I just verified...mini 2 has usb audio out. Works like a charm with fiio e 18 & e17 alpen usb dac/amp!

Did you notice a significant improvement in SQ? A bit hard to imagine, considering how good the mini sounds on it's own.

I listen directly to sennheiser momentum over ear. I was just curios if mini 2 supports usb audio out. Fiio products are very capable, with a clean audio output. I would say that mini 2 is a little better but if you need more volume from the fiio, the sound remain top quality. It's very convenient to listen directly to mini 2 and the quality is the best I ever heard from any portable player

Earbuds (not In-the-ear)

Hi!
Maybe You can suggest good wired earbuds (like "Ve Monk Plus"). I try a lot, but everywhere is so high sound waves, I need to put in equalizer it to 0 (Neutron player). But, sound quality is became worse.

I use sony mdr-xb950bt with bluetooth conection, poweramp app beta versión and Dolby atmos equalizer.. And works fine. You could modify both equalizers to get better sound.
