SRS Labs are a leading Audio technology company who make software and hardware audio enhancers for Home Entertainment systems, media players and PCs. Their SRS WOW HD audio driver has been providing 3D acoustic enhancement for the O2 XDA Flame and has now been released in a form compatible with any Windows Mobile 5+ device.

The app gives much greater control of your phone’s sound output - allowing you to ‘widen’ the stereo sound - and (when using headphones) can trick your ears into believing that you are listening to music in an open space, rather than in a ’sweet spot’ in the middle of your head.

Patented ‘TruBass’ technology uses more psychoacoustic trickery to make bass notes sound deeper and richer - far beyond what your tiny speaker can actually produce.

SRS WOW HD is freeware, available for download here.
