I am currently using the Sensation with my Monster Beats Pro, and I have to admit that I am not at all satisfied with the headset and the sound level.
When I play music the sound level is too low. Compared to the iPhone or the iPod, the sound level is 40 % (my guess) louder than the Sensation XL which dissapoints me big time. It carries the Monster Beats logo branding after all.
I havent opened up the Monster Beats Solo which were included, because I am going to sell them separately, but shouldnt the Monster Beast Pro give better sound volume than this?
I guess that none of you have this combination, and there are so few of us that have this mobile, but I am curious to know your take on it anyway
I've been using the stock monster headphones included and I might be wrong but it doesnt really makes a big difference for me, truth be told I still.prefer the srs and dolby that I had on my inspire 4g

The Beats audio inside the Sensation XL is pretty much a preset equaliser controls. If you download any equaliser app or wait for the ICS build for the XL that has a built in EQ, then you can probably improve general sound from the music player.
I feel exactly the same when using the solos with my XL. Sound nice, but too damn quiet. It's the same problem i had with my Sony A-series walkman as well. great sound, low volume. Seems to be something to do with the french...they've got some mad law about not letting you deafen yourself with loud musinc, even if you want to! Seems sony and HTC take it a bit far and their products all stick to it, whereas everyone else just buggers it up for the french ones.
Anyway, i invested a few pounds in a small headphone amp when i got the Sony. Sure, it was a little annoying to begin with, but now i don't even notice it, and it makes the power much more acceptable.
Mine's a Fiio E5 by the way, but the new E6 has been released since then.

Obviously, Id rather i didn't need it at all, as it's yet another thing to charge regularly.......but it does what i need and for what would probably only get me through a quarter of a normal friday evening on the piss.
Now I went for the XL with the urBeats in-ear headphones. And they are LOUD! Talk about going to number 11. I'm mostly deaf in one ear so do need a lot of volume, and boy do the urBeats deliver.
Its pretty loud with in ear headset. Quality sound
Well guy's i don't know if anyone has posted something like this thread, and if yes please remove it.
I did some testing today. The beats audio is working with almost every headset that i tried! I have read so much about how the headset must be Monster in order to use the "b" and so on. And actualy some of the headset's had more awsome sound then the earpiece from Dr. Dre.......and they were much cheaper.
I bought me a spare for the case anything goes wrong with the "b" headset but i use the new ones more often :laugh:

No I don't think so. And when i say cheap i don't mean for 1$ or 2$. I mean 20$ and above. There are so many manifactures out there who want's to prove themselfs, actualy you would be surprised about the quality of their headsets
I had a order for those http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor-pitch-black
And i got to say, THEY ARE AWSOME!!! Since im a rock fan, i didn't expirience the real quality from the beats earphones of a rock song.

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

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).
So,
I've been putting my One to use today with it accompanying me on an internal flight in the UK.
Instead of using my SoundMagic earphones I decided to travel with the ones included and well, the audio quality is amazing, and a fair bit better than my usual headphones.
My question is, are they unbranded beats or just some decent unknown headphones by HTC?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Possibility is they take advices from Beats or have them monitor the engineering of the headsets.
Hox earphones are great too but I dislike them because they are on ear despite loving the flat cables. If One's earphones is that great. I might ditch my Sony in ears

They're actually HTC earphones which have been made to resemble beats earphones. They're not that bad tbh, miles better than the normal crap HTC usually serve up.

I think there great. I gave my beats that came with it to my kids. I don't get on with beats,don't find them comfortable. Definitely prefer the HTC pair that came with them. Now all I'm waiting for is free wireless PIONEER speakers.

I agree, i had a pair of beats that came with my sensation and they were uncomfortable. The head phones that come included with the ONE are pleasant to wear and produce top notch sound quality for a stock pair of earphones. Well done HTC:good:
I compared with my Bose, urbeats, HTC's which is comes in box, galaxy S2 & S3 headphone and found that supplied standard headphone is best one and I found no different between urbeats and supplied one so I can sell my urbeats
But Urbets has a better grip in-ear

If the stock headphones are as good as people say, that is tremendous news. HTC should promote that fact harder, and consumers won't have to spend an extra £30 to £50, on getting decent sound quality.
I have to agree. Sound better than my klipsch s4 with the bonus of added button and tangle free cord. Will compare to my sound magics in a bit
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Put mine in for the first time today. The headphones are fantastic! So surprised by exactly how good they are. They rival the beats easily. There's no need to purchase another pair of in ears in my opinion. They are excellent headphones and tangle free to boot!

I'm wondering if the US carrier branded versions of these phones will come with the headsets as well. I haven't received a set of headphones with my phone since the Touch Pro. I'm sure it's probably under the carrier's discretion, but it'd be nice to have them stateside.
Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

Pretty sure normal ones. The red ear tips ones that comes bundled with One. HTC stopped bundling beats earphones awhile back.

I wish they had volume controls.
They do look like 'Unmarked Beats', however, i saw a little rumour the other day telling me that they were actually made in the same factory, by the same Manufacturer / Supplier as Beats. I may be wrong, but he is quite high up in the Mobile Industry. . .
Not a chance these are unbranded beats, take it from an owner of that many ear/ head phones including beats tours and urbeats the bundled earphones are so far away from even urbeats in terms of sound quality they are like black and white. The earphones are very good for bundled but so far from any idea of audio clarity seen in beats earphones, anyone owning a set of tours will tell the same after hearing the bundled set.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
what i dont get is why they dont have track controls like most bundled earphones?
im assuming the button will play / pause music and answer / end calls only? ive not actually used them yet
I have now tried a couple of the earphones and a couple off apps to allow for music control from the mic button presses on the earphones, but have not managed to get the HTC one skip track, let alone change volume.
Therefore I am thinking maybe the phone itself may be the issue (it always re-dials the last called when I double tap the button on the earphones)
Anyone had success with any earphones on the HTC one? (please don't comment if you have used a different HTC phone, as this problem may be HTC specific) if so, please help with specific details.
Thanks

I have the UR Beats as well for comparison. I agree that the standard headphones are weaker when reproducing bass, but otherwise the clarity and overall quality of sound reproduction is very good. If you travelling on public transport etc the free headset is actually a good option.
