HTC Beats by Dre

Not sure if this is old or not but I just saw an article on Gizmodo saying HTC has put a 300 million dollar bid into Beats. They say this potentially means HTC will have better sound quality as soon as the fall comes for their latest devices.
Hooray no more crapped out quality on my HD7.
http://gizmodo.com/5829983/htc-buys-beats-all-your-bass-are-belong-to-them

May be HTC phones will start sounding better, currently they have the worst speakers in the market, even a huawei sounds better.

Ha, all this will bring is overdone bass, if anything. It will probably only bring a "Beats" branding onto the phones, thats all it did to all of the laptops that had "Beats" branded speakers. This was done just for getting a popular name onto their phones, not for quality reasons. If they wanted quality, they would've teamed up with a real company. However, if they bundle their phones with the current "Beats" headphones (and not increase the price) I wouldn't mind cause of the fact that I could easily resell them.

False.
They should pair up with Sennheiser or Westone.

An earpiece speaker is going to sound bad regardless. What HTC could do is take a page from Samsung and use a decent audio-grade DAC and op-amp in the analog stage instead of the crappy jellybeans they currently use.
The Wolfson DAC in the SGS/Nexus S line help make those phones some of the best-sounding for music out of any Android device.

But hey anythings better than what HTC's currently kicking out so far. My HD7 and any other device from HTC i've ever owned has horrible quality. Also at that there simply not loud enough.

Completely understand what your saying but Beats is more talked about you know. Especially with HP flapping their gums about it. Besides their products are pretty good got a laptop with beats and its clarity is incredible compared to most laptops i have used.

my grandparents bought me HD 800's for my Graduation present and i'll never use another brand of headphones again. Sennheiser makes beats by dre sound like freaking netbook speakers.
I will never buy another HTC product again if they add a premium to their phones for hyped up garbage sounding audio from Beats....

Hey man you just got to live with what you get plus HTC has the hook-ups on phones when it comes to bootloaders and what not.

That was what I was saying, perhaps I worded it confusing but people are more likely to buy Beats than any other brand which is why it's a better purchase for HTC.
---
And I certainly hope your HD 800's are better than Beats considering they are $1200 more.

Should take a look at HTC.com their marketing them now.
Even got a vid on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5uqvcrmJCQ

I think it will be a good sound quality upgrade over the standard HTC is using at the moment.
Also it makes a lot of sense that they teamed up with Beats and not any premium quality brands like Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, etc. firstly it would make the phones way too expensive and secondly the average guy on the street has probably only heard about Beats and see that as a quality brand.
So smart move by HTC.

Damn! That's a nice present!
However, if you want better than Beats around the same price. Look no further than the Ultrasone Pro 900. Same big bass with amazing clarity. (Referring to Beats Studio)

MT4G Slide?

sweeeeeeeeeet

To the people saying this won't have much of an effect: this is much, much more than a partnership. HTC are now the majority shareholder of Beats, owning 51% of the company. I'd say this is going to make a big difference
But yeah, they really need better cameras.

Good Quality Headphones With Working Remote?

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good quality headphones that have a remote that will actually work with the Sensation?
If no one knows of any with a working remote i'd also like some suggestions for good quality headphones that are affordable.

I use my old Samsung epic 4G in ear earphones which have the remote for answer and mute but that's about it, no volume rocker. They have a nice bass boost I might add.

I always chime in on these kinds of threads with my personal favorite: Zagg Smartbuds.
Been using them since I got my Nexus One, and they sound great. The single button works just fine for play/pause, and most music apps I've come across (like PowerAMP on my phone) support double- and triple-clicks for FF and RW functions just fine with these earbuds.
There's a mechanical slider for volume control which isn't totally ideal, but is probably the only way to do volume with headphones technically designed for the iPhone.
They shouldn't cost too much either. Like $60 or something?

V-Moda revamp. Period.

Anyone have any affordable suggestions?
I don't exactly want to spend $100+ on heaphones

With all the experience i got in life, i can tell: Quality has a price.
In other words, cheap price usually don't have quality.

The headphones that came with my Nexus One work great. The controls work perfectly and I've always felt the sound quality was great. (Although, I'm not a expert in audio quality.)
Works perfectly for me when I go to the gym.

Fair enough. I was looking at some Beats by Dr Dre, but i might wait a few weeks before i actually decide to buy some.

Grab a pair of Ultimate Ears Super-Fi 5vi on eBay for about $50~80
They are basically the same as the Ultimate Ears 600vi, which is selling for about $100-120. The 5vi has a single button that works with the Sensation. UE discontinued it a while ago and replaced it with the 600vi, which is basically the same but with iPhone style 3-button design. The extra two buttons won't work with the Sensation anyway, so you may just grab the old version, the 5vi, for much lower price.

HTC+Beats=
Maybe HTC will give out headphones to people who have bought one of their phones?

I'm one who listens to continuous music for hours at a time, so the remotes just get in the way for me. I generally don't buy them with the remotes because they either don't work / are more expensive than remote-less models/ both.
As far as earbuds go, I've had several in the sub-$100 range, and bang-for-your-buck I haven't found anything to beat my Sennheiser CX300's. For only 30 dollars they're on par with my nicer Shure earbuds, but much less expensive. They're also very compact and easy to tuck anywhere. I highly recommend them if you're on a budget but want good sound, just make sure you use the right set of ear pieces (it comes with 3 sizes) to get the right bass transfer. You'll know when it's right because it will sound great.

I have in-ear a-JAYS Four earphones. I love the cristal clear sound quality. The flat cable is a real day to day pleasure, no more annoying tangled cables as they say. What really sucks is that they're made for apple devices , so only one of three's remote controller buttons works on android . It seems there's no way to make the two other buttons to work on android devices

$10 headphones+ $5 optional controller
Now I've been using these for 6 years and they're amazing, I just rebought them because they died today. Look for "she 9550" on amazon, they have AMAZING bass. And then look for a controller, they intercept the mp3 jack and the nub, they're cheap! Just got mine today.

Klipsch "Gaming" earbuds from Amazon. Identical specs to the S4i but with a single button control. Great sound quality and work fine with the Sensation. They also include a nifty splitter so you can use them for your PC. Cost is around $53 or so last time I checked.
Also, Best Buy currently has Woodees Blues on sale for under $40 (used to be $79 or so). I picked up a pair on a whim, and they sound excellent.
Both work fine with the sensation for play/pause and answering/disconnecting calls. I haven't found any that work with ff/rw, etc. besides the stock HTC ones.

Skull Candy 50/50 No Longer Working?
This seems to be the most relevant thread I can find for this question. I have a pair of Skull Candy 50/50 headphones with mic that I had been using on my Nexus one (purchased in the last few weeks... and before I knew I was upgrading my phone). The volume rocker didn't work on the nexus one but the ONE feature (aside from sound quality) that I need from my headset is MUTE. It worked on the Nexus One and it doesn't work on the Sensation 4G.
Has anyone seen this with other headsets? Is there anything I can do besides investing in a new pair (the crappy ones that come with the phone are no good for my purposes unfortunately... I end up on a lot of conference calls in noisy places like airports so I like the sound isolation of the skull candy earbuds with the mute/un-mute on the headset so that I don't have to constantly power on the phone's screen to mute or un-mute the call).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

yup, you got it.. I did that to my hd2 awhile back too so I thought why not my sensation.

I don't know, I've been using the stock Sensation earphones, no major complaints, except that maybe a volume control would be nice on the remote, and they seem somewhat fragile - compared to a free pair I got that came with a friend's HTC Wildfire, only has a single button though.
Another thing I would take into consideration is what the earphones will be used for. For example, for work, I used to take a crappy £2 set of earphones, because they'd often get caught in machinery, or cut, etc.
Does anyone know if it's possible to reassign functions to the buttons on the remote?

[Headphones/Earbuds Review]SOL Republic AMPS HD

This is a new thread about the AMPS HD because the other thread I was on was referring to the regular AMPS.
After continuing using the AMPS HD, these are really nice headsets. More I use them, the more I love the clear sound and hard thump of the earbuds. No it's not bass heavy, but if the bass is called for, the earbuds can handle it. I totally recommend these buds as well, and the "no-tangle" cords are great. Especially when I was using my Audio Technica ATH EC7's which I bought years ago, which still is great, but produce no bass at all, tangles up ALL THE TIME lol...never thought I would love the linguine cords so much .
Ok got them in. The build is nice, very comparable to the iBeats that I have that are taken from a HTC Rezound. The isolation is on par with the beats and the SOL Republic Amps HD has 4 different ear buds to try out. More choices for a better fit.
With my excitement, I plugged these badboys in and opened up google music run a few tracks off of it and to my chagrin, the left ear was distorted! I was like all heck..now I gotta do a warranty return. I called Sol Republic up and told them my situation. They sent me an email on warranty return details. I then took a step back and try to plug the SOL AMPS HD back in and the left side had no issues anymore. Did it need to warm up? Who knows, the driver works.
Next, the fitment, with the supplied earbuds, it's really hard not to find a fit. And if you register with Sol Republic they will supply you with free earbuds for life. Cool thing to know... Also the pouch is neat too, kinda like a deflated thin kickball but the case works and has a cool to link to stuff like bags or a belt loop lol...
Ok, now down to the nitty gritty...the sound. How do these sound? GREAT. They are not for the BASS heads but more like the rounded sounds like Vmoda. They handle bass well, but that is not what the SOL Amps HDs are meant for. They are meant for pretty much a clear reproduction and are forgiving whereas you have to keep in mind you are listening to mp3. But comparing it to my Rezound iBeats, which are indeed top heavy on the bass compared to the SOL Amps HD that are not. But don't get me wrong, you max out the volume and you can still hear the tracks pretty damn clear.
As for the three button functionality, keep in mind the box indicates that the AMPS HD are for iphones and ipods. But in using them in calling the mic works from what I can tell when I call into tmobile to get my minutes and such. BUT only the middle button works for our phones. Pair the headphones with the jays headset app from the market (free) and you can use the middle button for other things than just call and hang up the phone. With the app, you can adust the volume and actually skip tracks as well. So the other buttons are not missed. Admittingly the center button does get kind of annoying, compared to a dedicated volume button. But I don't mind it.
Bottom line would I recommend this? Yes for an alternative to the heavy bass headphones in the market today. I have my go-to over the ear headphones, the v-moda crossfades lps and they are a dream to listen to. Clear as day and not heavy in the bass, much like these SOL Amps HDs. I have to preface the recommendation with that I did NOT pay full retail (99usd) in like best buy or the like. So if you can get it cheaper than retail, it's worth every penny.
Anyway, here are pics....questions anyone?
EDIT: Upon my initial use of the AMPS HD, I did contact Sol Republic on the issue and they had been more than accommodating in getting my issue resolved. KUDOS to them and their awesome service, email communication-wise and phone-wise. Yes I did call them .
Additional info can be found on their site as well.

Reporting back.....
After logging in a couple of hours of usage and listening different tracks from Pandora and stuff from my google music account, I can say the "break-in" for headphones is indeed needed for these.
Comparing these listening to Rhianna's new album, to my Rezound iBeats, the amps are much more clearer and bass is there, but not overpowering. I can say the iBeats are good but to me and my listening preferences, I prefer the SOL AMPS HD to be my daily driver. The iBeats can be my backup.

Yay, I knew they were good. Idk if ima pickup the hd ones. I might get the klipsch

Well you can't go wrong with the Klipsch S4a. I mean the reviews are there and the S4A is the only model that works with Android, but I never had a pair to compare them. I have V-Moda Crossfade LPs, the iBeats from a Rezound, my old Audio Technica ATH EC7's and now these badboys. Thanks for turning me onto the SOL brand, I was looking for an earbud that could come close to my V-Moda Crossfade LP for overall clarity.

The Audio Technica is expensive and prone to tangles. And they have pretty much no bass, but the sound is clear as day. Not for the average user. I use them on the airplane lol....or when watching movies on the phone or my tablet. And they are expensive, I forgot how much I paid for them. I bought them as a birthday present to myself a good 10 years ago LOL.
As for the V-Moda Crossfades, they retail for about 200 but you can get it cheaper on amazon or ebay even. Actually depends on the color you want. I have the red and black one which are moderate in price. The cheapest ones are black but the cool thing about these guys is that you can interchange the plates for like 20 bux I think.

I'm just starting with trying to get good headphones and whatnot, any and all suggestions are welcome. Yesterday I bought I set of Skull Candy Ear-Buds at the T-mobile store. The Rep said those were the best they carried, I was thinking of getting beats or something else. I gotta research it.

The rep was right at the tmo store lol. Compared to stock anyways. Skullcandy isn't bad, but they are more like an accessory than a earbud. But they are indeed better than stock.
I have ibeats that came with an HTC Rezound and when I tried those, it blew me away on how loud and bassy it was. I am not too offended with the big bass but I do prefer a clearer sound with the bass not afraid to pump when it's there. So if I am listening to the Lasers album or the Bad Meets Evil album, I can comfortably listen to them without messing with the eq settings too much.
Oh and the iBeats that I have are pretty heavy, so using them to run, for example may not be suitable for some.Compared to the SOL AMPS HD, they are LIGHT. And tangles go bye-bye lol...
Well having the V-Moda Crossfades LPs kinda spoiled me in that respect. LOL So finding earbuds to even come close without breaking the budget was going to be quite a challenge. Then I tried the SOL Republic AMPS HD and was eventually swayed. Good luck in finding the ones you like!

just bought this earphones, sadly I'm not liking them that much for a simple reason, I'm a bit used to my pioneer hdj 2000, so the sound is not similar obviously.
can't use the amps hd with my old xperia x1 dunno why, and need to wait for my o3d to get back from warranty in order to get a better opinion, will give it a try with my PSP though

If you want to look cool, buy beats, otherwise I recommend pretty much any other headphones if you are look for good sound quality. Others may disagree but to me, the beats have wayyy too much bass and make your music sound very low quality.

NoiseHush NX22 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones for HTC One Sa

Damn, you just missed the $25 dollar BRAINWAVZ HM3s; But you can still grab the Incipio f38 . Which are exactly the same--exception: accessories and slight material on pad--for $30. The HM3--or Fischer Audio FA-004 or f38--are better then pretty much any headphone mentioned thus far; especially the beats and **** candy.
If you don't mind importing from japan go on ebay and buy the JVC Victor HA-S500. It has the latest headphone breakthrough: carbon nano-tubes. They are on another level of audio listening.

Yes, and if you want something in the same price range that doesn't suck at that little sound quality thing ... well you can get JVC FX101s or FX40s. You can also get the Philips SHE3580 or the Thermaltake Isurus. Why settle for bad sound quality-- even on a budget?
I am glad you went with the JVCs. The only get better as you listen. They'll sound a bit bright and bassy--with slightly recessed mids--for the first few hours but as they burn in the mids come forward, the bass tames, and the highs mellow. Carbon nanotubes are a beast to play with and they handle any volume and genre.

Hopefully the 3.5mm Jack won't pull a Sony NXT and be iPhone standard.

What's your budget?
For ear buds, anything under $50 won't have too much difference.
Don't get skull candy or beats, they are over priced crap.

I was thinking anything cheaper than S4a that comes close performance wise so that's $69-0 range.
I was hoping to come up with a decent list for people. Then I can sort it neatly on the first post.
I don't see much sense in putting in the big bucks for Monster or Shure just for your similarly priced ($350) phone, but I might include those too for the extravagant I guess.

those are the best "investment" I ever made in headphones. It's actually the ones I'm most satisfied with !
Anyway I saw on a review on a French site that the phone is coming with headphones

Theoritically, the best earphones should complement the frequency response of the N4, which we don't know yet. I'm still waiting on GSMArena's review and their RMAA test results.

Until Google confirm this I'll keep adding buds.
Those in the link look comfy, not to sure about the sound quality though.

If you are considering a $69 S4, might as well add a little bit to get a Shure SE215 for around $100~$120. The sound quality is much better than S4.
http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE215LT...qid=1352999128&sr=1-6&keywords=shure+earphone
It's not too expensive but provide very good quality. If you spend any money for earphones under S4, it would be a waste because majority of those earphones are just mass produced generic ones with their own label slapped on.
Trust me, I own almost $800 worth of headphones so I think I have fair share of insight into that.

No offense here but after you try a real good set of headphones, those cheap ones just sound garbage.
I used to buy those under $10 headphones all the time but then I spent some real money on a true mid-fi, hi-fi set, I can never go back to the cheap headphones anymore.

Well I'm looking for in-ear phones that have mic and controls. As we don't know which one is gonna work with the N4 I will wait a little bit longer.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I will be purchasing Klipsch Image S4 in ear headphones. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V9LPT4/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

Thanks for the tip! But too pricey for me and "should" isn't good enough. Or is Shure somehow connected to Google ?

Cellphone uses standard 3.5mm headphone jacket, it doesn't matter what brand or whom the phone is from.
Shure is a very dedicated audio products company which mostly make high quality audio equipment. It may be a pricey at first glance but trust me, in audio world, that's just entry level. But they are very durable and the sound quality is just great.
If you have tight budget, you can get a Klipsch S4 one which is cheaper but still good quality,
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-S4i-Premium-Noise-Isolating-3-Button/dp/B00264GYMG
The last thing you want to get are the cheap $10 ones. They simply are not worth it.

I know, it's not expensive for good audio equipment. I'm just worried about Mic and Controls .. I sometimes heard about other headphones that controls don't work and stuff like that. So I'm looking for one that's working with the N4 for sure.

Hmm usually for those, mic and volume control are fine because they are standard input/output. Usually if there's something wrong, it's the fwd/play/rwd buttons. But you can try anyway, Amazon has 30 day return policy. If it doesn't work, they won't charge you for restocking and return shipping fee.
