That depends on many factors like the bitrate used for the mp3 file, the quality of the headphones you use, the device and so on. Most of the music I listen to is 192kBit and I have some decent Sennheiser in ear headphones. In combination with HTC audio enhancer I'm absolutely satisfied with the overall quality.

I'm not a musican too, but I like music very much, and I want to listen to music without rush and other things like that with 192 kbit/s and more.
I'm using Urbanears headphones.
Any experience with the Dell Venue Pro?

On my HD7 I sometimes hear the typical GSM noise in areas with poor reception. I use Shure and Sony headphones. Shameful for HTC! My old HTC Diamond did not have that problem.
Otherwise the sound is good.

I'm no pro either, but I've had an awesome experience with the Zune software on my Dell Venue Pro. I've tried it on different audio sources, from some cheap skullcandy in ear headphones to some friends nicer headphones, some Beats By Dre and Sennheiser cans. All in all I've been really impressed with the quality, compared to my iPod touch and my girlfriends Samsung Galaxy.
Plus the interface is soo sexy.

What kind of headphones would you be using? And what are the music sources, quality, etc?

Which urbanears are you using? I am looking at the Medis, but not sure what they are like.

I'm using my dark blue Plattan bought them for 60€ (84$). Good music quality, very good bass. Cool looking and not so fat. And so much more solid than that ****ing Skullcandy things!
Hearing all kinds of music with it, but no mainstram ****.
From Hardcore/Deathcore to Reggae and Electro, Trance, Rap...
With my LG they are rushing a bit when I put it in, but not on the SE Vivaz Pro from my friend. LG, thats not so cool

What does rushing mean?

I will say this:
I like Zune better than iOS. The sound quality is amazing. <3
Also depends on what headphones you use and the bitrate of the song. Not much the device.

New nexus with beats audio?

Im sure we've all seen the 10 predictions about 2012 and how HTC will be making the new jellybean phone because Samsung is too busy with the nexus tablet.
My question is if HTC does make the jellybean nexus would you want it to beats audio if so why or why not and would it be a dealbreaker to you staining the only bloatware free phone?
I personly would like them to make it more than just an EQ setting if they insist on putting it on the nexus

HELL to the NO. Beats doesn't do jack. It's overpriced garbage for crappy sound quality. Plus it just makes our favorite high end devices cost even more money. Want real EQ capabilities? Try out Poweramp or DSP manager. Want actual good sound quality? Try out an old Samsung Galaxy device like an infuse with that Wolfson DAC. I'm still pissed Samsung went for the crappy Yamaha and ditched the Wolfson with the GSII.

Yeah leave the beats stuff out of the nexus. I'm pretty excited if HTC is really making the new device, hopefully they ditch qualcomm and get an omap with the new powerVR gpu.
Other than that I wish it not to but uber thick like htc's most recent offerings. Maybe like a revamped nexus one body?

Beats makes everything overpriced. I'm quite happy without it.

Let's take wal-mart quality headphones and mask the terrible sound quality with reverberations that are likely extremely unhealthy in such close proximity to your eardrums. Then, we'll market them with the name of a rapper who's greatest contribution is a piece of white trash with mommy issues out of the trailer park and having him rap out of his nose... Yeah, sounds like the kind of company HTC might sign up with.

I must be in the minority as I like it. I don't use the stock player much but I did test it out and have a set or Dre headphones and it does make a difference. But unless that is your thing it most likely isn't for you. Beats out my old galaxy s any day of the week.

Hell no!
Voodoo or GTFO.
Also Beats is only a software thing, easily replaceable with PowerAMP.

Had voodoo sound on my old galaxy and the Samsung needed it badly lol. Power amp is my main player but foe those that stay stock beats is not that bad.

I'm on a headphone audiophile forum and anything Beats related is recognized as utter crap. It's horrible bass boosting software that makes you say bye bye to a flat, natural response curve. Beyond that, while it increases the impact of the bass, it muddies it up because the sub bass is overwhelmed by the hit of the others.
I don't want to go into it because the discussions are lengthy (but fascinating), but essentially the people who known what they're talking about know that Beats is junk.

Dr. Dre actually did alot more for music than discover eminem. He is one of the great producers of our time, and The Chronic 2001 is one of the greatest albums ever...and HTC did it as a business move, and you know what? It worked. It marketed the phones to a whole new group.

It did work. They realized kids were getting smartphones at a lower and lower age and kids/teens love Beats because it makes them "cool". Lets think about if HTC would've teamed up with Audio Technica, Sennheiser, etc. It wouldn't have NEAR the effect as it has with having Beats.

Exactly. With most of society it is the name that sells. Honestly, there are alot of things that I buy because I am dedicated to a brand. Shoes, jeans, cars...we all have brands that we favor. It was a business move, and a damn good one.

You Mad Bro?
First of all, regardless of who Beats are marketed by, they are made by MonsterCable. In case you were unaware MonsterCable makes some of the highest quality studio cables and other audio engineering equipment on the market today.

Meh... Monster is overpriced. Hence why beats are overpriced too. And if they make such great audio equip then why would they have the abomination beats? Sound quality worth half (if not less than half) of the retail price.

Why is always Samsung and HTC doing Nexus Things? Why Sony Ericsson or Motorola (I don't like them really much) don't have a chance. For the Nexus Tablet, why don't give a change to Sony or Asus?

The very same point could be made regarding the iPhone. It's not the best out there but it's the most well known.

In ear:some sonys, etymotics all all those brands like klipsch.
Over and on ear: klipsch or sennheisers are good.
If you want something which costs in the range of beats small earpods like etymotic or vmoda should work. Just good vmoda up their earphones are like 50 bucks to 120 for the best. But their big ones cost 200 and 230, and they are boss and have better sound.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I'm a fan of the klipsch image s4; they're about $60 and work very well.

I'm using Sony's XB21EX they're cheap and good for those who are bass lovers, but it falls short on definition. But it's pretty comfortable and fits great in ear without you even feeling it's presence.

Senhieser OMX 680 sport vs power beats by dr dre????

My stock samsung earphones broke today and i planned to get good pair. I dont have much idea about earphones. I know beats are expensive, but my queation here is are they worth getting.
I have heard a good deal of senhieser earphones and headphones. They are comparatively low priced but what about tge quality???
Need some reviews on both these products senhieser omx 680 sport or the powerbeats by dre????

It's not as simple as that. You can read my guide and post there, but I'll break down the basics.
1: Beats, Bose, Skullcandy, any celebrity endorsed earphone is trash. You can buy much better for half the price.
2: In order to give recommendations, I need to know price range, in ear vs. over ear, genres you listen to, and whether or not you need a mic/remote.

But still these are the two earphones i found most attractive. I know beats will be expensive. But i am scared if i go for senhieser and wont get the results i am expecting then i will loose my 50$.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

There are some very nice looking, good sounding headphones out there that you might not be aware of.
For on-ear, V-Moda M-80 and M-100 should be considered.
If you'd rather have Beats for the looks, then I'd recommend getting fakes. The real ones don't sound much better.
If you do care about sound, Sennheiser isn't bad at all, but without knowing a few things, I can't help make a good recommendation. I would love to help, though, I like spreading the joy of good audio recommendations.

They're well liked by some, but at that price point, Sony MH1 or Brainwavz R1 would be much better, also Soundmagic E30. How much are you looking to spend and what music do you listen to? Need a lot of bass or clear and detailed?
-Accidental Asshole aka Jeremy
[Guide] Headphone/Earphone Buying

I am a rock and jazz listener. So wont be needing a jumbo size headphone.
A little sporty would be fine with me as well. Beats is way way too expensive and at a point where i am saving some buck for s4 or note 3. Its a better idea to go for a sennheiser earphone.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

I'd definitely look at the ones I mentioned, and if you want to go a little higher, hifiman/head-direct re-zero gets great reviews for crystal clear detail, Shure SE215 has superb mids, and Audio Technica CKS77 should be clear, with good but not overwhelming bass and a very wide soundstage.
I doubt you'd go wrong with any, but Brainwavz R1 might not have enough mids for you. They're a bit recessed.

Depending how much you wanna pay for headphone
First, install ViperFX
Then:
20-40$: Sennheiser mx 365 <---- best choice, recommended
50$<100$: Shure SE215 or Creative Aurvana Live, depending earbud or fullsize
Over 100$: dont know, i bought Beat Studio on X-mas sales 200$ but the sound quality is such, but it look nice =]]]]]]]]

I just use LG Quad Beats, they sound significantly better than the Beats Tours I owned.
