HTC Sensation XL Review

Hey guys, got my Sensation XL today. Done a quick review. I know, i think I'm awful at reviewing too. Thanks in advance

Please comment and like! (Sorry for promoting myself :L)

Nice to see a user review that's not full of blurry-cam action. I got mine from an O2 store and it ships with the more substantial/expensive Solo headphones.... Just thought I'd mention for anyone interested in music.

Cheers. To be honest I'm not a fan of over ears. Which is why I opted for the in ears. What do you think of the beats software? To me it sounds amazing

On-ears and in-ears
If i order sensation with solo beats in the box there is no in-ears headset?

The sound quality is superb... It's more to do with the headphones than anything else tho... All the beats software does is create a certain EQ pattern. Top marks to both HTC and whoever makes the beats headphones.

what can you say about htc these days..........they more or less speak for themselves, they even look alike!!!!!!!!! a little better preparation and you would have have a great review but it was refreshing to hear from someone who actually owns the device and not repeating what others were saying. getting mine on the weekend £370 was a steal i think. this is a beast. slightly disappointed with screen res as expected qHD for a screen this size.

Thanks. You won't be disappointed with the screen. Even though its wvga it looks superb, crisp text, vivid colours, great viewing angles.

was thinking about getting galaxy note or xl. In the end went for xl simply because it was launched first and would be more practical out of the two for making calls. It looks better.
So far loving it, the build, htc features, sound quality(louder then the sensation). Screen looks better then all other htc models.
Gps locks on immediately
New Led light notification is brilliant!
Internet smooth
No bugs or crashes
No lag
So far very pleased.

I agree on everything you said. Especially the led. Who new something so small could be so cool?!

Phonerane review, claims Mideocre 8mp camera and camcorder?!?!? HOW is that Possible?
I'm really shocked here,
Today I read the Phonearena review on this device ( HTC Sensation XL ) and to my surprise, the review was really bad. The reviewer claim the 8mp camera is very weak compared to Htc Sensation XE, even with better lens and sensor?!? How can it be? Moreover, the reviewer showed that the 720p camcorder is even weaker than image quality, and I'm really pissed off by that.
Can anyone who has a Htc Sensation Xl confirm this claims? Now I am in a real dilemma here, because I love this phone, and I can overlook the fact is has inferior resolution and no micro Sd Slot, but if the Camera and Camcorder is weaker than the Sensation Xe counterpart, I'm think I will swap in favor of the second.
Please check the review from PhoneArena and help me sort this out!!! Anyone!
Thanks

It would be nice if you post this kind of questions to Incredible S Accessories Section

I have the $350 ones and they are sooo awesome! They work great with incredible s
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

I have iBeats, they're great but you have to have the right equalizer... With stock htc beats EQ the sound is not that good. With DSP-Manager it's frickin awesome! But without DSP it's just a normal pair of headphones not worth 100€... They can handle a lot of bass and that's the way they should be used

You should give beats products a miss. They are like apple, but in the audio world (as in too expensive for what it is). If you really want a good pair of earphones, visit head-fi.org and read some reviews there.
It mainly depends on what you want from your earphones/headphones, and your budget. If you want extremely high bass, I think the monster turbine series are worth a look.
If you want to impress people, though, get beats.

I guess people are so against beats because they are pretty expensive. Of course there are some cheaper alternatives, but I don't know... Beats are kinda cool And the fact that the sound is bad is just a rumour that spread through the net and people just took it without trying them themselves. I also reeeaaally love the sound! The only thing that borders me, is that my left ear apperently as a too weird shape to keep these things in there where they should

I don't think anyone has identical ears, it's normal for one ear to be bigger than the other. My earphones medium size tips fit my right ear, but are slightly too big for my left, and the small is too small

No offence
But BEATS ARE A FASHION ACCESSORY
I like my sound, my headphones come from a brand renowned for quality for nearly 100 years

If you are looking for sound quality, you should be getting bose, sony, sennheiser, klipsch. If you are looking for style, buy beats. If you want bass, buy jvc xtreme xplosives.

Some could be fake, but the general rule is, the more expensive they are, the higher quality their sound is. The most expensive beats headphones are supposed to have the least bass.

and yeah i remember talking to a service guy at the htc service center, he advised me not to get the beats headset because i wont be getting the desired effect on incredible s...just because our device does not contain the beats equalizer

Beats EQ is not very good anyway! Try Beats with DSP-Manager on our IncS and you'll get a way way better effect than you'll get with Beats EQ on ONE X Trust me, I've tested it...

THE BEATS EQ IS A MARKETING GIMMICK
Dsp manager is waaaay better

I'm going to buy beats when I'm back in the UK in November so hopefully they are good well.
Well actually I'm not buying them I'm just buying a one x which they come with.

Hey Guys
I want to buy a beats headphone
But i tested a beats headphone with beats mod on incredible s but the quality was very lower than its quality with htc sensation xl
is there anyway to improve it?
someone told me that inc s doesnt have a part that sensation has! is it truth?
Thanks

I don't really know what you are talking about but you can improve sound a lot if you use DSP-Manager from Cyanogen.

Nope.
Beats audio in 2011 htc phones are only software, not sure about 2012. So if you install beats audio into your phone, it should sound the same as other 2011 htc phones.

Well - why buy beats? AFAIK it's mainly a product line sold with Dr dre's name, and they're said to be rather expensive and of rather low quality. That beats app to my knowledge mainly applies some equalizer settings, and buying a decent headphone set and applying a roughly similar equalizer with an app of your choice should give you similar or even better results at a comparable price IMHO

Pioneer, Sony, Bose, KLIPSCH
Klipsch are the best. I have the Image One and S4i and their sound is really balanced (beats are too bass heavy imo)
Just that klipsch are hard to get in Australia. I only know a few places that stock them

Sony are great. But the Software in the headset itself is pretty weak. I usually have iBeats but have to send them in for repairs so I'm using my spare Sony ones. You really have to do alot in DSP to unleash their full power, because they really can handle a lot of everything but the software in the headphones won't let them. It's like this:
iBeats - Hardware 60% / Headphones-Software +20% / DSP +20% -> 100% ... Software makes awesome sound of avarage headphones but if you tweal too much it will sound weird.
Sony - Hardware 80% / HP-Software -20% / DSP +40% -> 100% ... Software in the headphones suck but they can handle a lot of changes in DSP so they sound pretty much like Beats.
Other Stuff: Beats definitely look better, Beats have earphone wires with SAME lenght (With my Sony ones the right one is 4times as long as the left so you have to wear it over your neck which looks stupid and feels uncomfortable also.
Price: iBeats: 70€ /including lots of ear gums(don't know the right word), clip for shirt
Sony: 35€ /including clip but no ear gums and the stock ones are very small
So, I think this explains a little Hope it was worth typing

buy jays-a-jays four or one+
Much better and cheaper than beats
5!

Try with Altec Lansing, trust me, the best quality and perfect sound for acceptable price (somewhere near Sony).

It is awesome. Let me explain why. The soundchip used in Boomsound speakers are not only for speakers. HTC intigrated that technology into headphone jack too so you get that high quality sound when you plug in your headphones too.
Yep, I tried it, crystal clear.

I suppose that GSMArena review isn't that reliable, seen their comparsion S4 vs HTC One and audio quality there is from some other galaxy
Could anyone support me with some more reliable audio test, i'm very interested in HTC One headphone audio quality? (With some decent headphones, like B&W C5)

Comparison threads are against forum rules

But it's not really a comparsion thread, we are just trying to find out how good the HTC One perform with headphones.
Could anyone post a good audio review (not GSMArena) or post the Rightmark results here made by themeselves?

You're comparing the audio quality against other phones, which is very subjective
But feel free to carry on, dont mind me

You just like to see the world burn? lol ok nevermind
So any one with One how is the audio?

So any updates?

I'm going to get shouted at for this.
I have a pair of Dre Beats Studios, and iPhone 5 and HTC One, and a recent memory of a HTC One X, now sold.
With the Beats Equalizer on through a pair of Studios, it sounds absolutely fantastic, better than my HP DV6. Things aren't so good when you turn that equalizer off, however that's more due to the fact that that sound enhancement was designed to be used with a pair of Dre Beats
As for the iPhone, I find it's audio to be a bit tinny when played through the Dre Beats. I think the sound level is slightly higher on the iPhone, but to me the HTC One wins everytime. And if it's vs boomsound, I think we know who wins :victory:

HTC one with audio technica m50 (actual good headphones not marketing) the sound is brilliant using spotify on high quality, I will test on my iPhone today before I sell it

Beats dropping HTC isn't going to make me like HTC any less. Beats are such a mid-level, high-priced fashion statements that gives me an instant visual indicator of people who care more about how "cool" they look vs. how much they care about the quality of the sound going into their ears.
In fact, I think HTC should dump them preemptively and team up with a company that knows what audio quality is. Bring in Grado or Sennheiser!

NO Beats is no deal breaker for me. I actually keep it turned off , sounds better off when using it with my trucks BT.

Mid-level? You're giving beats way too much credit. I've seen literally thousands of them disassembled, and they're absolutely no better than those $10 phillips headphones with the little foam covers. Not to mention how unbelievably cheap the materials are.

If you want to see something really bad, look at the Beats Pill. Compare it to a Bose Soundlink Mini (same price), and see if you can tell if the Pill is broken or not.
We had one to prototype for our customization service here at work, and we had to order a second one because we thought we broke the first.

but i'm talkin about for mass marketing, yeah we know that beats is kinda gimmicky but ppl who buy things lik the iphone don't realize it, business wise, it makes then look bad

Quoted for effect. My Grados with a small portable amp are way better than any beats, period. If you disagree, then your ears are broken.

Yeah this is a positive if anything. Beats is marketing garbage, and they are starting to get a lot of crap for it. I'm seconding a sennheiser partnership.

Umm what does this have to do with purchasing a HTC phone op?
HTC owns 25% of beats the company. At one point HTC owned a majority stake of beats. If I was HTC I would s-can beats. It is a trendy fad that will soon pass. Their cans are by far the worst for audio leakage. My $30 senns have much better sound quality and people near may are not annoyed by my tunes. Beats falls right in line with Bose. Excellent marketing, mediocre product. High profits from the uninformed.
I also agree with the above. I wish my device didn't have the beats logo on it.

Bose's products have actually come quite a ways since their early "no highs, no lows, must be Bose" days. The technology in them is pretty astounding if you really look at them. There's no reason to lump them in with Beats. I work with both on a daily basis, along with the occasional Sennheiser HD800, which is far and away above the others (at $1600 it better be!), and there's no way Beats is anywhere near Bose. Pull a pair of each apart and if you tell me Beats is anywhere near the quality of Bose, you're nuts.

We'll agree to disagree irt Bose. Their marketing campaign hasn't changed in years. The same goes with their products. Take it from an owner (sucker) of their lifestyle speaker system. I too was a young buck with a pocket full of cash. I sooooo regret that purchase every time I listen to it. Slowly each component is being replaced in my home theater set up.
Since then I have earned my electronics engineering degree and have had over 16 years in the industry. I will never purchase another Bose product in my lifetime.
There are better components out on the market that are less expensive. I let my own observations and other users experience factor in my purchasing experience vice an ad campaign.

Probably doesn't look good to see this headline for the uninformed, but I am sure HTC can still manage some kind of 'sound enhancing' quality to include with their phones. Maybe just a custom built-in equalizer or something, or a different partnership altogether. Either way, I think this is far from their biggest problem.
