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.

I like your idea but who is sponsoring apple and samsung?
There was a rumor going around that the Max would have a new sound enhancer. Can't find the source but I remember reading it

"****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.

I've heard they're not that good but I think they're great. They have lots of bass.
I've compared them with ridiculously priced ones from HMV (which do bounce about on your head a bit) but they have some bass on them.

Your question?
I like them too, i tried to get a replacement pair from sony chat services and they were very reluctant, they really wanted me to buy some livesound headphones from them for £79 but i got them from play.com, they are very good (bass heavy)
They are utter crap if you ask me. Sure they have some bass. But bass is far from everyting. Where's the treble? It's pretty much non existant. The difference is so huge with better earphones. Why be happy with the Sony ones when you can get other ones with better bass and much much better treble.

I use a pair of Audio Technica M50 earphones and the sound is amazing. Sure they are bulky but I don't care =D
they sound good on the xperia play only any other device and they wont play any good sound best headphones ever are bluetooth rocketfish for 57 bucks
I still think they're OK.
Short of paying tens, if not hundreds, of pounds.

I removed the filters and they are loud as.
The volume is weaker when compared to my other ear phones. Sound quality wise, it's just ok (I'm not an audiophile).
I was just thinking today how good the stock headphones are. What are people expecting from stock supplied headphones?
Just looked at the MW600 and that does look sweet.
I just realised that I could plug in normal headphones without a microphone and still make and receive calls using the phones Mic
The stock ear cans do have decent bass, the problem is everything else is really really muddy and the bass is just booming there isn't much definition.

If the stock earphones aren't that good then I'd love to try some other ones.
If there's one thing I've noticed about them it's that sticking them up your nostrils then yawning, it doesn't make it sound as though the sound is coming from inside your head as much as others I've tried.

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

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 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+

Hey there!
I am really happy with my htc one! Especially the speakers are great!
There is one thing that bugs me though: when I call somebody and I decide to talk on speakers- I experience really bad sound from the usually great boomsound speakers... There is even no beats logo in the notification bar.
It sounds like my old Gnex while in call on speaker.
Anybody else experience this? Will this be fixed soon?

Here we go again! If people are happy with their phones and try to defend it against trolls they're fanboys??
So they suck?? Name one phone with better speakers for speakerphone calls released within the last 3 months? You can't because there aren't any.
And who are "they" exactly and where are these quotes?? I haven't read one single claim from HTC saying their speakers don't suck, or that they are so loud, even the haters will love them.
The speakers have excellent sound and are very very loud.
Sorry for bring up this topic again, but I'm just wondering about the earpiece.
I just had my 212k replaced with a 304k, and it crackles the exactly the same as the old one. Are there really any crackle free nexuses? (it doesn;t really bother me, I'm just wondering if they're all like this).

Actually it is literally some type of sound frequency and it kind of hisses in a way and crackles in a electronic type of way, basically just put your ear to it and you may get some sound.

No crackling here, but it really annoys me that I feel the back of the device vibrate when the other side is speaking through the earpiece. it reminds me of some cheap Nokia phones for old guys.
Mine also crackles. It is very quiet, bit can be heard when I put the speaker near to my ear

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.

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.
