Beats software is also designed to pull out frequencies lost in the audio compression, similar to dm+ in some Sony radios. I use it in my car (Boston acoustic sub and door speakers, 500 watts rms, quality over volume) and it is a big difference in all types of music.

It pulls out high and low frequency.

This might make sense if it were not for the fact that compression does NOT compress out certain frequencies as opposed to others. You are confusing Dolby with compression. Further there is no standard compression algorithm used when creating mp3 files, there are many different compression profiles used, and many different compression software packages use by the labels.

Most of the compression profiles actually emphasize bass for rock and heavy metal.
Further, this phone plays far more than mp3. Lossless AAC files, which should sound perfect with Beats turned off, also get boosted bass and treble and increased separation with beats turned on.

No, beats attempts to improve sound by compensate for the failings of earbuds, and cheap headsets. It knows nothing about the compression involved.
It does known about the TYPICAL capabilities of headsets and the limitations of bluetooth.

Kevin mentioned the capabilities of the DAC. It might well be that beats has internal configuration settings that let it attempt to compensate for limitations of the dac embedded in the phone.

Let me word that a bit differently.

In mp3, I keep my setting at 320. I have a seven band eq that cannot match the beats profile. I can also tell difference between CD, flac and mp3. I can tell I lose highs and lows in most digital formats. Im going by hearing, not technical. That seemed to make more sense to me since this is a subjective conversation. I should have said that in my previous post. I wasn't trying for misinformation, just chiming my opinion.

What I meant by pull out the frequencies lost is that it can do more than my eq can. Everyone who has heard it can tell the difference in my stereo wherevthey can't on theirs.

It looks like HTC has heard the cries, and has finally put in better hardware to go with the Beats software!



Only it's in the 8X Windows Phone and not Android. Booooo!!!!!
