Can someone with Beats Audio confirm this video?

It seems too convenient and obvious to what we generally dislike about this whole thing.

I would stay away from anything "beats". The headphones are a disgrace, and I dont think this stuff is worth the money. Just get Adobe Audition CS5.5 and watch some tutorials on the net, and have fun remastering all your audio stuff. It is a super powerful audio program and it is really awesome. You can get it for free if you are slick enough!

Holy crap! The geniuses at Beats Audio have invented the equaliser!

I knew they were up to something putting "beats audio" in laptops, I just didn't think it would be this bad. I thought it would maybe be similar to a "loudness" button. But here, instead of improving sound quality when beats is on, they just decrease it when beats is off so that you think it's better.

What pricks.

All I have to say is "wow". I've never seen software mess with things like that. rolleyes.gif To think if you never bothered to look you'd be suckered into believing it too.

Obviously avoid that sh*t like the plague.

i think the audio equipment from asus laptops like the bang and olufsen ICEpower speakers with sonic master program would be better? less commercialised  compared to BEATS stuff.

Check out a frequency response graph for the Beats headphones and you'll see that the bass drop + treble boost is exactly what those cans need to sound right. Whatever. It's a stupid problem and I work in tech and I'm not convinced that this is on purpose.

 

Anyway, the same Beats audio driver works for non-Beats laptops but still has some enhancements (when a non-Beats system is detected) and this problem is likely a universal glitch. I believe if you own any one of these laptops, referred to on the link, that you can install Beats software control panel by extracting the files out of the package from that link and then replacing all the pointers in the STWRT files to reference B-41A0.INI. Then run install and enjoy your Beats Audio experience. Basically all it does is run SRS HD Audio Lab (now called SRS Audio Essentials) enhancements in a nifty control panel. Confused? Check out this page.

Honestly looks like something's bugged more than anything.

 It is monster we're talking about, who is responsible for the whole HDMI cable scam thing. To be honest, I'm not surprised, because the beats demographic probably doesn't even understand what an equalizer is rolleyes.gif

the whole reason for beats is for mass marketing. monster did a great job with marketing this crap. but i do not believe at all that anything BEATS is of quality. there poorly made even this combination of computer software is ****, just a bunch of marketing to make people buy the products.
