Personally I like clarity, and even though H/K gives more clarity, the dynamic range kinda kills my ears, I don't think any sound mod is good personally and because I don't want to encounter any glitchs (Some people report that calls etc are glitched), Other than that It's just personal preference, I guess Dragon-Fi is good but I've never tried it, also even though I like clarity and close to source sound I've noticed that BS+Earbuds/Headphones/whatever is actually not bad, The extra boom is actually good, and it's actually quite an experience at first I really hated it but now I actually like it, it's not bad, and I might use it "permanently" aka until I get tired of it, If you're wondering what I listen to, it's Mostly Iron maiden, some AC/DC and all kind of random songs (I like pretty much everything besides modern english pop).
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I use Bluetooth headphones so for me bs is useless, dragon-fi has great surround effect through my bluedio r+ 8 speaker surround cans I can really recommend it, I also tried with my cheap Sony wired headphones and it sounds as though you in the middle of the room with the music loud I really think [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] has done a great job with dragon-fi and the good news is he's currently fine tuning everything and an even better sounding update is immanent, I've also heard rumours of Dolby atmos being brought into it and this had me quite excited as I've read some reviews and it looks very interesting.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea so i'm getting the M9 next week :) got a relatively good offer and thought...yea just take it lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Guess its time to change you name again then mate well done, I'm still considering it but I'm not sure it's worth the upgrade unless one comes up cheap.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi there, guys.

I am into the same considerations as you are regarding a new device. I in no way tired of my M8 running LeeDroid 7.4.3 and with your fabulous sound mod thread [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] it really sounds like heaven ... And I dont think M9 can beat it ... Anyway, I am also onsidering a completely different device: S6 Edge or Xperia Z5, but I never had a Sony before and from what Ive been reading it its uncomarable tobthe M8 regarding quality sound. Any of you know which device got better sound quality than the M8? Ive been reading that even the M9 cant compete in bass-levels...do any of you know if it is true? Does the M9 treat sound better than the M8? If it does I think I probably will switch in due time ... I wouldblike to hear what you guys think? You are the true oracles?.

Btw ...sound quality is my primary source of choice as I listen a lot to veeeery good music ???

Thx in advance, guys.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
There is a phone coming out that's supposed to have a fantastic amp like nothing seemn before in Android I think it's an LG, there was a link a few pages back I think, personally I don't think I'll leave HTC I love their handsets and build quality even if we do sometimes have late updates, I'm always rooted so I'm not bothered lol. Anyway I'm sure HTC will counter attack LG as HTC has always promoted great sound even back in sense 2.1 we had srs. At least that's my opinion, I'll wait and see what they come up with next year as m8 is still good for at least that long.

As for m9 apparently it suffers a bit where sound is concerned something to do with static noise at low volume, and bad output from the Jack socket but ZeroInfinity is working to fix that and there is a mixer_paths mod to fix the output problem, so there is hope,

Although I can't speak first hand as I've not had the privilege to use the device.

[MENTION=5779397]Bud Horn[/MENTION]
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Yeah, mate. I am reluctant leaving htc as well and the LG G4 is not an option for me. I simply doesnt like LG...what about the new htc A9? Too much apple or what?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I didn't mean the g4 mate I was talking about a new one that's not released yet lol,

As for the a9 it's a mid range device and not worth the the change especially since duel speakers are gone crying ! Lol I won't be getting one I'm just going you wait.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Yeah, me too, I guess ... Been reading a bit about it. Its better to keep finetuning this fine piece of device, we got ourselves here ??
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The tweaks zip that was posted in the LeeDroid thread the other day feels really nice my phone feels silky smooth, you can find more info in my kernel thread and a link in the op but he's just about to update and it's even better so you may want to wait for a bit,

But I can definitely recommend it, [MENTION=5779397]Bud Horn[/MENTION]
[One (M8) General] kazuki1:
Hey im trying to install audio mods on my m8. im currently running viper one on kitkat 4.4.4, i just flashed the jbl audio mod and now my phone is in a bootloop. what do you recommend for a good setup? Also, not sure if i got the correct jbl file, it was the one from the dropbox.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
That is the correct jbl zip but it's for sense 7 mate that's probably why you have a boot loop, why is it you are still on kk ?.

Are you s-off ?.
[One (M8) General] constantineo:
is there anyone who has compared the sounds mods?i reconsider which is suitable for me,but i think i can't try one by one,lol :D.sorry for my bad english :D
[One (M8) General] kazuki1:
Yea I'm s-off, I'm only on kit Kat because viper recreated my absolute favorite style of android with version 3.2.1. Fully customizable, old style sense quick settings on its own page, runs fast and smooth, sense launcher replaced but gets the feel and design of sense. I encounter minimal issues, I can use certain apps that just aren't ready for lollipop. Reminds me of the Rom on my old tmobile HTC g2, which did pretty much everything too.

I had lollipop when it came out but It was more limited in the viper tweaks and cut out features I liked.

Like this pic, You can't have the sense styled quick settings in lollipop.

This rom pretty much gives me everything I fell in love with android for, and I got this version absolutely perfect and stable, no hiccups no FC's. Everything works, and damn it works well.

If it ain't broke don't fix it lol.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think viper still do that in their sense 7 rom and it has tons of customisation, although I'm not a fan of viper.

I think maybe you should try and get hold of an old hk it sounds awesome, and most of the other mods in my op should work on.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hk/jbl is amazing and project desire with rehear are great on top of this.
[One (M8) General] kazuki1:
The last Rom viper was updated to before it was rebased on an m9 port was 4.3.0 which is lollipop 5.0.1and it doesn't have what I need on it. And some apps aren't updated for lollipop. Had one of the hk mods for this version but the sound was only slightly better. I got Dragon-fi installed on here this morning on a fresh install of the Rom. Would I be able to install my hk files over them?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah sure you can flash hk with dragon-fi mate you might like desire too it's pretty good and gives really nice stereo effect and if you use rehear too I should say you'd be a very happy listener lol
[One (M8) General] kazuki1:
sorry ive been trying to set this up, project desire keeps giving me a process system FC. how do i fix this?
[One (M8) General] reaper420:
Smeejaytee in what order do I flash Jbl and hk to get the hybrid setup?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sorry for the late answer I didn't get notified lol,

First you flash jbl with adsp then hk without,

Then extract tfa files from the jbl zip system/etc/tfa and the cal files from the jbl zip system/etc and paste them in the roms system folders of the path,

Then go to default.xml and edit support Harmon to false and make sure effects manager is set to 4. Set correct permissions rw-r-r for the tfa and cal and default.xml and reboot.

Enjoy!!!
[One (M8) General] kazuki1:
Cool so how do I make project desire work? It keeps force closing on me after I install it.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Del
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Extract the files then delete the default.xml. zip it back up and flash mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It depends on the listener mate they all have different effects, just make a backup and try some out and find your favorite, you can look at some of my setups in my posts for some guidance of you like.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I want a pair of these please donate generously lol.

[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Yeah, me too, mate...I would be glad just to hear them, though...
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah me too they look amazing.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
My current setup,

Hk/jbl hybrid project desire, rehear then dragon-fi I flashed dragonnfi last as it contains some files the same as desire and rehear but dragonfi is tuned especially for m8,

Also using v4a and xhifi, I'm getting great sound from my psyc s1 headphones.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Nice! Did you flash dragon fi without dolby etc i take it mate?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sorry forgot that one I'm actually using Dolby for eq and volume leveller, my headphones are Bluetooth so surround effect doesn't work but it amps things up nice.

I should add that I'm not entirely sure rehear is essential but desire turns on hardware processing and gives a nice sound stage and tight bass.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Right sweet man, so flash JBL/Desire/Rehear/Dragon fi and V4A. Some setup lol :P
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
If you want the hk/jbl hybrid its a little more work you need to flash jbl with adsp then hk without adsp, then the others in the order I said,

After you reboot extract the tfa files from the jbl zip located in system/etc/tfa inside the zip,

You also need the cal files for handset headphones and speakers from the zip system/etc then copy those into their respective folders in your rom and set permissions the same as the others,

After that open default.xml and locate support Harmon and change it to false and check just above it a few lines to make sure effect manager is set to 4 then reboot and you have hk/jbl enjoy.

I can assure you it's worth the effort.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Op updated with hk/jbl hybrid installation instructions.

[One (M8) General] jxcorex28:
I'm on cm12.1 nightly 2015-11-05, and I've been away from heavy modding since 2013. I was just wondering what possible combinations would give me the best sound. Right now I'm using V4A FX (latest). I mostly listen to music through my bluetooth lg sound bar or pioneer cd player in my car. I want some loudness,but with good clarity. I've tried using dragon-fi, and its good. I'm just not sure if I'm using it to its fullest capability. I've always used poweramp though. I'm not to crazy about about going back to sense, so I stick to cm/aosp based ROMs 90% of the time.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hi, well if you want the best sound possible its better to use sense but on aosp you should definitely try project desire is really good and so is rehear, for clarity you and dsp you should try Maxx audio hotter this helps.
[One (M8) General] jxcorex28:
So you can mix rehear and project desire ? Do you mean DSP manager? I've never been a big fan of DSP.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yes you can mix those two fine mate,

And by dsp I mean digital sound processor basically an equaliser mate, and Maxx audio is great for clarity.
[One (M8) General] jxcorex28:
I downloaded rehear, and I've been checking out project desire. Project Desire seems to be tailored towards xperia devices, which version of desire have you used ? Here's the link I found :

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Someone posted this in the project desire thread, might be of use to some of you.

I finally got Project Desire to successfully flash and boot on my Marshmallow Nexus 6. In the end, all that was needed was removing /system/lib/lib effects.so from the Project Desire zip. The original /system/lib/lib effects.so on my rom is over twice the size of the file included in the Project Desire zip so it seems that nothing is compromised or lost with this single edit.

This is possibly the culprit causing bootloops from other mods with Marshmallow so this may cover a lot of compatibility issues.

I've attached a couple of zips for those not interested in editing their copy of the Project Desire zip. One zip has the single edit of omitting /system/lib/lib effects.so while the other zip has the same omission along with the addition of /system/priv-app/MaterialDarkV4a/MaterialDarkV4a.apk for those that use v4a.

The original post with download link is here.

[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
It's official that eXtremeBeats will no longer be called eXtremeBeats! The new name will be public in the final release of the new and improved audio engine. This time it will work with more devices, and compatibility should be considerably higher meaning HTC devices will work on stock sense roms also.

The new engine includes some of eXtremeBeats most prominent and powerful aspects. At this point in time, i'm not going to elaborate what magic has been included in this mod however I can say with out a doubt it is the powerfullest yet. This engine specializes in restoring audio harmonics that have been lost due to recording, compression and encoding restrictions. Meaning more detailed and articulate sound signature. It also adds more bass to music. The mod understands the requirement of more power to drive lower frequencies (Like Bass) so it applies the famous eXtremeBeats passive bass enhancement to create authentic and super low bass from even lower powered DAC's.

Not only system files are included to raise new standards, but finally what everyone has been waiting for this engine will have it's own equalizer app based of the popular DSP Manager. It will have features that compliment the system files such as bass enrichment modes, audio restoring modes and audio room sculpting (like surround simulation).

I'm not sure when It will be ready, but you can expect it in the next fortnight or so. Now that school is pretty ending soon, I can try and focus on this a little more very soon.
