**My iPhone Experiment: A Scientific Quest to Understand Sound**

I decided to conduct an experiment on my iPhone to better understand its sound quality. As I held it in my hand, I couldn't help but notice that the sound seemed tinny and lacking in depth. It wasn't too loud, but there was something about the way it sounded that didn't quite sit right with me. I've grown accustomed to the sound of music coming from iPhones, and the one I was using seemed different somehow.

I compared the sound quality of my iPhone to another device, a Samsung Galaxy S III, which had a similar semi-quieted digital sound. While both devices sounded good in their own way, neither of them could match the rich, full-bodied sound of an iPod dedicated music player. I realized that my expectations for sound quality were shaped by my experience with iPhones and iPods.

To further investigate, I played Mike Snow's "Animal" on both devices, using a flat equalizer to remove any pre-set audio enhancements. The song sounded decent on the iPhone, but it still lacked some of the depth and clarity that I was used to hearing from dedicated music players. I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was missing, but I knew that sound quality was subjective.

**Enter Poweramp: A Game-Changer for Music Playback**

That's when I discovered Poweramp, a music player app that promises to enhance sound quality. The free version is limited, expiring after two weeks, but the paid version offers a wealth of features and customization options. One of my first impressions was that the interface looked a bit tacky, reminiscent of old-school Winamp skins.

However, once I started exploring Poweramp's features, I realized that it offered something truly special. With a 10-band fully customizable EQ, preamp, and post-base treble and volume controls, users can fine-tune their music experience to suit their preferences. If you're not comfortable tweaking settings, don't worry – there are preamp presets available to help you get started.

Poweramp's focus on sound quality is evident in its attention to detail. From the way it handles crossfading to the way it displays album artwork, every aspect of the app seems designed with music lovers in mind. Users can also enjoy features like Last FM scrobbling, handset customization, and more, all wrapped up in a user-friendly interface.

**A Shout-Out to Netflix: More Than Just a Music Review**

As I was testing Poweramp, I couldn't help but think of our friends at Netflix. Their service has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment, streaming TV episodes and movies directly to our homes without the need for physical media. With unlimited access to a vast library of content, Netflix is a game-changer for anyone who wants to enjoy their favorite shows and films on demand.

But what about music? Netflix offers a free TR membership that allows users to stream music from its vast library, complete with playlists and recommendations. It's not just another music streaming service – it's an all-encompassing entertainment platform that offers something for everyone.

**Conclusion: Poweramp is Worth Every Penny**

In the end, my experiment with my iPhone proved to be a valuable learning experience. By comparing sound quality across different devices, I gained a deeper appreciation for the nuances of audio playback. But more importantly, I discovered an app that genuinely enhances music enjoyment – Poweramp. With its extensive features, customization options, and user-friendly interface, it's clear why this app is worth every penny.

If you're looking to take your music experience to the next level, I highly recommend checking out Poweramp. Its value lies not just in its impressive feature set but also in its ability to deliver a truly immersive audio experience. Whether you're a casual music listener or an audiophile, Poweramp has something for everyone – and that's why it earns my seal of approval with a solid five out of five stars.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis episode of what's the apps is brought to you by Netflix well how's it going there G it's John Q here from TechnoBuffalo and welcome to what's the apps this week I thought I'd take a break from IOS and jump back onto the other oh so popular platform that is Android so for this episode of WTA we're going to be taking a look at how you can improve and enhance your Android music playback experience with a little app called power amp a while back when I had the HTC incredibl S one of the things that really really turned me off about the phone was the music playback experience I mean it sucked what can it sucked man what but that's just my opinion though it kind of had a digital fake is kind of empty sound it felt like HTC thought okay guys we have this phone here so we're going to put a music player in this phone because every single phone has a music player now we're going to just allocate all of our time money and resources to make 10 and 20 different phones that all look like it have the exact same specs but we're going to name them all something different I no idea why they sound like that in my head plus the volume wasn't really too loud you see I was used to the sound and the quality coming from the iPhone and the iPhone is basically an iPod that you can text and call people but iPod that's a key word there dedicated music player what you're hearing right now is Mike Snow's animal a song that was included with the Google Nexus One playing on the Google Nexus one like the incredible SD Nexus is made by HTC and it shares that similar HTC semi quieted digital blog kind of sound the LG Revolution was surprisingly better it has a richer more Fuller quality to it I can't put my finger on it but it still doesn't really match that of the iPhones and here is the song being played on what else but the iPhone I guess this is the control part of my nut scientific experiment just a heads up everything you're hearing is being played with a flat equalizer and the audio is recorded directly into my zoom h4n the Android eqs and presets aren't too good either so let's get into Power Amp finally and see how we can fix all this nonsense here Poweramp is an incredibly well-designed piece of app there's a free version but it expires after a couple of weeks and as you can see the UI is a little tacky looking you know sort of reminds me of some Winamp skins I used back in the '90s and I thought I was balling cuz I knew how to theme my music player PS power amps does have a handful of themes unlike the incredibly limiting default music app Power Amp allows you to take full control of how your music sounds focusing specifically on improving the sound quality Power Amp gives you a 10 band fully customizable EQ a preamp as well as post base treble and volume controls if you're not too too comfortable tweaking and customizing the EQ no worries my friends because there's a list of preamp presets available it takes some time to find tune and tweak the settings to match your headphones that you want to use but once you found that Sweet Spot the Difference is like night and day heck the difference is like night and a pineapple the change is that dramatic seriously music playback aside the app is featured packed to the max everything you want to do with a music player like Last FM scrobbling handset crossfitting scanning sorting and slep controls and much much more are there it even comes with four different types of widgets and they all work beautifully speaking of beautiful I'm going to take

Buu FF l o and sign up today back to the review unfortunately a realistic downside is that this is only an application is software it can enhance sound yes but it can't fix sound for example after spending a lot of time tweaking the EQ I wasn't able to find something I was happy with on the Nexus I mean I can tolerate it but the quality wasn't something I can just sit back and enjoy I had the exact same issue on my HTC Incredible S so I just ended up not listening to music on that thing which that's that's not very happy man it's not happy at all the LG G Revolution was surprising though the music quality is actually pretty good on this guy as you can see music and sound is a very very subjective thing some people like really crisp treble some people like the mids really high some people like their their beats fast and their base down low goodness that's a terrible song but it's true but as far as usability quality and control goes Power Amp is epic totally worth the five bucks which is why I give it a solid five out of five thank you very much for checking out this episode of what's the apps now this is the let's sit down and interact with the audience part of the video I
