There is a new hype in the Android world today! Installing Audio Beats library to Non-HTC Beats Audio capable smartphone. Beats Audio is a new exclusive add-on to the latest model of HTC Android phones.
The project was started by XDA Member RockoDev and there are claims that it really improve the audio quality of their Android phones. I decided to give a try if it will work on my Samsung Galaxy S II, like many others who claim that this is just a placebo effect.

In my personal opinion I can’t really tell the difference. I am using a Sennheiser HD 408 and the stock Samsung earbud that came with my unit.
With my Sennheiser headphones I can’t tell the difference because the bass of this headphone is one of the best I have and with my Samsung stock earbud, it has mediocre bass and I feel no effect especially with deep bass music like Electronic genre.
