While for use with headphones, i just use my external dac.

And, my typical scenario for using it is watching movie in the train or at the street cafe, and it really sounds much better than other laptops i've heard. This laptop has an internal "subwoofer" which is only employed with beats drivers. The reason is, it provides really good results with laptop's internal speaker.

"Noise" results on it are probably limited with recording hardware.Īt the end, i use my hp+beats laptop with beats drivers + beats on. In RMAA results table, it has weird results in "swept sine" test, that seems to be some bug with it, maybe just disregard that field. "selftest" refers to playback with same old samsung laptop without any enhansements.

Freq response is the most straight, though still worse than other old non-"super-sound" laptop. You can see how this resulted in freq response and other metrics. Beats control panel has gone, "tone settings" has gone too.

"hp+beats, generic driver": this is response graph when i went into hardware management, and removed driver at all, and then windows generic driver was automatically installed instead. i went in, set those into zero position, and then took this measurement. beats on/off checkbox changes the state of those.

"hp+beats, beats off + eq zeroed": when beats driver is set up, windows sound properties has "tone settings" tab with "highs" and "lows" control. You can see how it reduces the bass output.

"hp+beats, beats off": i unchecked "beats" checkbox, without changing anything else. "hp+beats, beats on": i set up beats driver, every setting is default, and "beats on" is set by default. So, I did 6 measurements, all were recorded on internal soundcard of old samsung laptop with same record level and other settings on recording laptop.įirst four measurements are for my same hp laptop equipped with beats audio, same internal soundcard. Those probably arent precise due to hardware used, but quite enough to compare. Just makes the volume same all the time right from the very beginning. just an example - Pink Floyd's Cluster One, or Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Though im not sure, maybe latter is a bug with my beats drivers, bc my friend also with beats laptop didnt experience this effect in skype.Īnd anyway, it makes you unable to listen to things with dynamic range made for reason.

Also it annoyed me with skype conversations by making background hiss louder when other party is not speaking. With beats disabled, it acts "as expected", subjectively linear. It is very noticeable though, like it changes behavior of volume controls that are in in-browser apps like youtube - with beats not disabled, volume control effectively provides nearly the same volume within most of its range, so i can only really control volume with system control. After i switch off, i can mitigate that by going into windows tone settings, and returning lows/highs controls into zero position, which they lose once i touch beats on/off.Īs about difference between beats switched off vs having it disabled - given that I still can control the eq shape with beats off but not disabled - then the only remaining difference is dynamic range compression. This happens bc when it is off, it effectively makes eq shape inverted V. So, when i just switch beats off, without doing anything else, the sound becomes dull.
