Those fury headphone covers: Sound Enhancer??

Those little black cotton covers which come with iPod for the headphones.
Can they improve sound quality at all?
Or will they make the headphones seem quieter to somebody sitting next to me.
EG im sat next to someone with headphones full blast. They get ticked. If i putt on those black covers, will they muffle the sound a little?

Nathan,
You were joking right? If so, that was a bit amusing. If not, then those headphones must be super powerful to pump out nice sound from around you neck. I have only had Bose, Sony, and Sennheiser DJ style headphones and they did not sound that powerful. I guess each to their own, but I do agree that DJ headphones sound the best. I really enjoy them the most.

Sound Enhancer

I'm wondering, if they had put Sound Enhancer in iTunes, couldn't the same be implemented into the iPod software? It's really difficult to adapt now, because I've been listening all my songs with Sound Enhancer turned on for almost one year. Now that I bought an iPod the sound is very flat (equalizer doesn't help much, it only increases certain frequencies, bigger bass and cleaner treble, etc.) and I really hoped that such feature would be available, but it seems that Apple didn't concentrate more on sound quality (more work has been done on it's design and capacity). Overall, sound is ok, headphones are fine (could've been better, but I won't grieve), it's just that I miss those "hidden" sound effects that are not heard (hidden in the background) when Sound Enhancer is off.
Well, I just wanted to add some comments concerning the sound quality on the new iPod (the first I ever bought) since I expected a little bit more. Hopefully Sound Enhancer (or maybe some newer "virtual surround" feature) will be built in new iPod's in the future so I (and those that feel the same) can experience our music the way it was ment to be heard.

I just tried the on off switch , repeatedly . I feel like a
pedestrian at the olympics . I think - ummm muddier ,
brighter . I am using a pretty good recording off a CD
of Eine Kliene Nachtmusik/Cappella Isotropolitana at the
moment . I am a little lost . I have six satellite speakers
and three woofers and I am horns-waggled if I can pin a
difference in performance . I just set the Sound Enhancer
at full , I have had it midway . Soaring violins cello's warm bass
I forget if I don't look . It may be a bit brighter with everything
full on . I am just guessing-I really am not confident I comprehend
the value . Thanks for the 101 though . Frederick

Alternative Sound Enhancement / SmartAudio Lite

Hi all
For those who wanted to try something other than Dolby, and / or having sound quality issues with the default Conexant driver or external low output issue with Dolby, you are welcome to try my new modified SmartAudio Lite drivers.
I will be posting new sound tweaks with additional 3rd party equalizer that could work well with SmartAudio. It will be released out soon.
Stay tuned!
EDIT: Download link and instruction to install is in the attachment. (SmartAudio Lite.pdf)
EDIT2: Note: Currently, this does not support Dolby EQ, except T420s and X1.

Hi all
The attachment below is the SmartAudio Lite pdf with the hyperlink fixed.
For equalizer, you could try EqualizerAPO (link below). However, to have different EQ settings for internal and external device. I would recommend you open SmartAudio > Audio Director > Switch to Multi-Stream mode.

I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update

Dears at Apple:
I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update on any of my devices(iPhone 4s, iPhone Touch (4th Gen), iPad (3rd Gen). Most of the "Podcasts" I listen to are music content based and wanted to apply sound enhancements(EQ) like before when integrated with ipod function. Can you consider to "fix" this issue?
Many Thanks!

OK Emanuel I found a solution! I dowloaded and installed "Denon Audio" app from the iTunes store & it works great! It has an EQ you can set curves on manually or use the (few) built in pre-sets. It is a player like the Music app that comes with the iPhone, etc. but restores the EQ functionality so we can adjust the audio of PODCASTS:-) Until Apple fixes this what I consider a bug I will be using the Denon app as my default music player!

I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

Did you try different headphones!?
If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
There's a slider for L-R
If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
Try these steps and it will solve your question

Is the iPhone 5 headphones covered in the warranty? If so how do I get new ones.

Yes, they are.
You either contact Apple Support, or go to an Apple Retail Store.

Can anyone explain in detail the option: "sound enhancer"?

On what level should I put the slider (middle, maxim, disable or else)?
Whatever sounds best for you.
o the stereo sepparation will make what ? The centralpoint of the voice will be wider?
Yes. Seems to add a bit of 3D/reverb.

Xperia Z1 Sound Enhancements disbaled by default. How to make it enable?

Is it ok or somthing wrong with my software. My phone software is up-to-date.

ITunes sound enhancing

Is there any third party program that could enhance iTunes' playback quality? I've tried the sound enhancer under preferences but I'd like something even better that can really give the sound some extra oomph...

Have you muted sound in iTunes?

SRS premium sound enhancements not working!!!!!

Two weeks back I installed Windows 8. Now I have Win 7 & Win 8 on dual boot. But SRS premium sound enhancement does not improve the sound quality in windows 8 as it does in windows 7. I mean it does nothing when I slide the audio enhancement slides. The sound is same whether the srs audio enhancement is enabled or not. But the equalizer works fine, only the audio enhancements not working.....my laptop HP G6 1202tx i3 4gb ram 500gb hdd 1gb radeon. Everything is okay in windows 7 but what happened to windows 8?

You could try to install the Windows 7 driver in compatibility mode:
Visit HP Support and get the Windows 7 drivers for the hardware you'd like to try.
Download the driver to your desktop.
Allow the extraction to complete but close the installation process when it comes up.
Navigate to the C:\swsetup\ folder. You will see your driver listed here. They usually have a name like "sp56349". Navigate to this folder.
Within your driver's folder you will see a "setup.exe" file. Right click this file and select Properties.
Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
Click the box that says "Run this program in Compatibility mode for..." and also select Windows 7 from the drop down menu.
Check the box which says "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom.
Save these changes and double-click the "setup.exe" to begin the install.
Once the install completes reboot your PC and verify the functionality of the piece of hardware.

My brother-in-law was killed at work about 2 months ago. His wife has several voicemails from him on her iPhone 3GS is there any way to save those voicemails as a sound file? Preferably not using a handheld recorder.

I have not used it but the manufacturer claims it will do what you want.

What is Crossfade Playback&Sound Enhancer &should equalizer be on or off?

What exactly do both of these do? I still have mine I think on the default settings though I have turned off the Crosfade playback a few times while importing cds.Also seen the equalizer on iTunes is on with it on flat and wondering if should turn it off on iTunes because I keep the equalizer off my Ipod most off the time .Thank-You

Crossfade Playback overlaps the currently playing track with the next track. The time setting indicates how long an overlap you get at the end of the currently playing track. It basically fades the currently playing track out, and fades the next track in. This setting has no effect on importing CDs.
Sound Enhancer makes changes to the sound during playback to make the sound 'better' for small or low powered speakers that you get with computers or laptops.
The equalizer on iTunes also affects playback in iTunes only, not your iPod. Your iPod equalizer applies to all tunes played back on your iPod only. But if you have assigned a specific Equalizer Preset to a song in iTunes, your iPod will play according to that setting if your iPod Equalizer is set to Off.

What excatly does Sound Enhancer do?

I was going though all of the settings and noticed I had Sound Enhancer turned off. What excatly does Sound Enhancer do? Do most people use it?

When i tried it out many years ago, I found it just made everything sound like C-R-A-P so I never touched it again after that.

What is Sound Enhancer?

What is it? I'm a bit of an audiophile, and I prefer hearing music as it was on the CD (as the artist intended). I've played with Sound Enhancer and there's a diffirence (I can't say if it's good or bad), but what does it do? Is this some kind of equalizer setting, volume changer, or what? I'm not comfortable with a setting that claims to magically making things sound "better".

from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304711
iTunes "enhances" the sound of your audio files by increasing the treble and bass response, depending on how you set the slider. Think of it kind of like the "Loudness" button found on an old home stereo system, but adjustable. If you move the slider toward the "high" end, iTunes boosts more of the equalization, meaning things will generally sound punchier and crisper. If you move it towards the "low" end, iTunes will decrease the same frequencies.
