Skullcandy Rules!

So I bought Skullcandy Uprock today and I can say that the audio quality I am getting is definitely 1000 times better than stock headphones. I listen to dubstep, liquid dnb etc. Been the best choice for me and its definitely worth the price. Recommend this product to all Lil'G Users.
Here's the product details.

Almost Everything is better than beats by Dr Dre!
If u think Sennheiser is best, try Bose headphones!!

Beats Audio = lame

It's a big gimmick. It just an audio preset. It's like hitting the "pop" button on your stereo, seems like we're getting ripped off of a true equalizer just to get a stupid preset I can't even use with my bluetooth headphones. The whole beats brand is stupid. Here's some washed up rappers headphones made by a company known for overpriced overrated hdmi cables. And of course the headphones are like $200 for a set of earphones that look no better than a cheap pair of sonys.
HTCs investment in them just shows their ignorance.

Agreed...beats suck and are overrated (both the audio and the headphones/earbuds...everything beats sucks-and if you like them then you've never truly heard good quality music)
Anyways...I have playerpro for my music...it has an equalizzer in it that I use...not the best but it gets the job done...just wish I could save money for some real headphones (wanna get ath m50s) my bro has a few really nice pairs since he DJs and produces progressive house songs
Although...I still like dre...his recent song "The Recipe"(actually not really his...) was pretty good, and the chronic 2001 will always be near the top of my favorite rap albums

I love the sound of my Studios, and the Beats equalizer adds a very nice sound. In my car, forget it. Makes my speakers make funny noises that are annoying.

Of course they are gonna distort your car speakers. Using an equalizer on nonamplified or crossovered or bass blocked wal-mart speakers are gonna make terrible noises. Quality speakers + Amp + Crossovers = studio quality sound

While I wouldn't buy the headphones, what I suggest for a nice sound is a battery hog on most phones...
Download Equalizer by Smart Android Apps,LLC
Turn on Beats Audio and bucket out the EQ..Rock presets usually do this. Bucket out the middle a tiny bit more to your liking. Raise the high end and bass too..
Put on some dope ass headphones that are over-ear, not ear buds because you wont get the quality.
Without Beats Audio working, even with an EQ it will sound a bit flatter. B/A is an enhancer sorta like WMP used to come with.
I thought Beats Audio was lame and would leave it off, but after using it, it sounds pretty good to me
Final step: turn the volume up to your favorite fast punk tunes. Hip Hop and top-40 wont sound as good. Anything by Lady-Gaga will break your phone and melt your ears.
Cheers!

I actually like beats. I agree it can be achieved with proper eq settings but I still like it. I think its personal preference.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

I just wish my friends would stop treating beats like best thing ever. They look good (the headphones not my friends ) but that's all. I don't see the point of paying $100 for a pair of headphones unless you work with music at a editing level and at that point there are better headphones made professionally for this duty. I find my stock GS3 headphones to be amazing.
HTC incorporating them into their phones is a different story: an equalizer is a good thing and it's a good business move since people ARE that dumb to find an excuse to pay for such products.

I don't work with music...and I have a $200 pair of headphones (did get them on sale for $150)...I just like amazing sound quality...no they are not beats cause as you said beats only look good. I got audio technica ATH-M50s.
If you really enjoy quality music then nice headphones are worth the investment...you'd be surprised all the extra "sounds" you hear with a quality pair of headphones...
Basically you don't need to be working with music in order to have a need for $100+ headphones...just a love for music
If I wasn't so into androids and software development I probably would be a house music producer...my bro is a hobby DJ and a hobby progressive house producer...I tried my hand at making some house songs and I just couldn't find the time to figure those programs out....a lot harder then it looks (coming from a guy that works with android from source...)
BTW...I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile, but I am the kinda guy who won't download or buy any music that's under 320 kbps...even before I got nice headphones I could tell the difference...now that I do...that difference in quality is huge
Didn't really mean to rant lol but I think I've made my point...Headphones are worth the $100+

Beats are like Bose, just a high priced piece of junk with good marketing.
Sennheiser makes a much better professional grade product and are reasonably priced.

You're talking about headphones, correct? I have these iems called Xtreme Xplosives by JVC which have a ton of base. Look them up on amazon, they're less than $20

These have a ton of base too and they sound better then the factory headphones which came with the phone. Does the one you recommended have a mic for phone calls?

Jlab Audio makes some great, inexpensive headphones. you can find them on Amazon. i have the JLab 4 with microphone, and they have amazing sound. i bought the JLab 6 with microphone over the holidays for dirt cheap for my wife and daughter, and they sound great, too.

I would strongly suggest the Klipsch image one.bass is good won many awards as well....
google it

i think bose in ear headphones are hands down probably the best i have jvc, jbl, the stock samsung ones and bose and by far clarity and bass bose wins for me

I think there is a version that does. When I say it has a lot of base.. I mean a ton. Just look at the thousands of reviews and take the $15 or whatever risk. The version I have does not have a mic but for around $5 more there is one.

Apologies.. I thought we were talking over ear ones.. but in ear and I have a choice of two that I can recommend
Without Microphone
Go with SoundMagic E10.. bet you never heard of the brand .. but they are upcoming and heck they sound beautiful. As I cannot post links got to whathifi dot com and search for them. They didnt wina 5 star award for nothing!! read reviews on the net as well.. IMO they blow the apple earpods out of the water
With Microphone
The Jays a-jays one plus . Look for them on trusted reviews. They are well worth a listen too heavy on bass as well.:good:

If you want in ear, I have a set of pioneers that have blown every headphone I've ever had out of the water, including my Sony Xtra bass isolations that broke, sadly they dont make those anymore. These are $23 on newegg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=26-621-019

Klipsch x10 on Amazon. Only $80,they used to be $280 but a new version just came out and they dropped the price of the old, but in sound quality there is no difference. If you want some of the best earphones money can buy, buy the Klipsch x10.

What does this mean?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

That means that every HTC phone released after their deal won't have Beats Audio. That means HTC ONE MAX won't have Beats Audio...and that means that our HTC ONE might go down as the only greatest phone made by HTC with Beats.

It means nothing.

Who uses that **** anyway?

It means something that done almost nothing is leaving. I can't think of many things I care less about

+1. He's right, it means nothing. They sold the rest of their ownership stake in the company, that's all. It doesn't even mean that Beats won't be on the devices necessarily, just that they don't own a piece of the action anymore.

It may not mean a lot to us but there are many people that buy HTC devices just because of beats. It's sad but it's the truth. Think of it like this: compare a team that is not sponsored to a team with a sponsor.

"****ty bass EQ" or not, Beats does make the front facing speakers sound really, really nice. I don't use it for car or headphones though.

I guess it's somewhat ironic that my Phone speaker just blew, again. It blew after I had the phone a couple months or so, and it took Asurion FIVE tries to send me a replacement that was acceptable. I'm trying to decide if I wanna bother with that again or just buy a different damn phone.

It may make some of the aspects of songs sound better through the speakers, but the others, notably the mids, it certainly makes worse. If you want truly great sound, you'll never find it with beats. Try something like ViPER4Android.

HTC is the best in mobile sound with the ONE. Hard to argue otherwise. The company may have there own technology in line for future phones. Maby better than beats. I personally think beats are over priced compared to some competition they have.

They're headphones. They will plug in. The only thing that would cause them to not work would be a case that obstructs the fitment of the jack to the port. I've plugged in many different head phones from cheap $2 sets to PowerBeats by Dre as well as Studio by Dre.

1) I moved this thread to the Q&A forum.
2) I've used the AT-M50s on every phone I've had and they work fine except the TPU case on some pushes out the headphone jack sometimes. So I take a razor and make the headphones hole a bit bigger on my case. Other than that you should have no issues.
These are still my favorite headphones, way better than any of the Beats and even the Bose in this price range. If they were a big smaller I would wear them at the gym, but for at home listening these headphones rule the world.

They sound really good out of the box.
The burn in time isn't incredibly long, I put some decent hours on mine and they just get better and better, but out of the box I found the sound quality to still be superior to any other cans in that class.
