It's basically Dr. Dre's idea of what EQ settings you should have when some Beats Audio high performance equipment is plugged in. Your friends phone will detect the Beats headphones (somehow) and Beats Audio will apply a certain EQ.
There are a few ports being tested which will work with any headphones, although it remains to be seen if this is actually a benefit or a marketing gimmick. Forcing an EQ designed for a specific set of headphones may not have a desirable effect when pluggin in some cheap £20 Sony's!

Yes it's not like beats audio means it has any special audio processing hardware. It is simply an EQ tailored to get the "best" sound out of a specific set of headphones. If you are not planning on using Beats headphones, then it is kinda redundant. I'm simply curious to see if this EQ is better than my custom one using PowerAmp.
I have yet to test it myself, but I would imagine that unless you are planning on splashing out £100+ on Beats headphones, you are best of sticking with using PowerAmp and it's awesome equaliser to tune the sound to best suit the headphones you already have. Much Cheaper! Since we are on the topic, I can highly recommend the a-Jays One. IMO you'll not get a better sound for £20! Plus the cable is truly tangle-free! I'd have been very happy with these had they cost me £60.
(Also wins the prize for the most over-packaged product I've ever bought. The case is good for keeping anything you want to survive the nuclear apocolypse.)

I feel a audio differnce with normal headpones.!
It boost the quality
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nothing can replace to it
Personal Opinion!
I am sorry but this is a scam.... I don't see no difference in sound... it's pure marketing if you have sound quality boost only by software, certain EQ setting,if you will, which works only in native Music Player for HTC WTF BTW????
I hate native music player... very limited (for example, NO FLAC support, CUE sheets ... and many more features)...
PowerAmp and/or PlayerPro, maybe both
Just wanna say one thing!
Dump box HTC headset, poor sound quality... buy something else...
google it
Have bought recently Sennheiser CX300 and I must say that the sound quality improved very much

You cannot tell a differnce without any headphones plugged in. But with headphones and beats turned on, it certainly makes a difference

Ben, I got myself a pair of monster beats in-canal earphones recently and I have to tell you even standalone they are great. But with the beats mod they the sound is heavenly.
I'm opposed to marketing gimmicks by principle and was skeptical at first.
But after listening to a pair of these AND comparing them to a set of Bose headphones at the same mall I concluded these are much better for the kind of music I'm used to.
However we have to remember that audio perception is a subjective feeling and not everybody may have the same taste.

@BLD
Good to read a substantial review, with some actual detail, although still early and HTC could (or do I mean SHOULD) add additional hardware to later devices which could further improve the sound output from their devices, in fact to add weight to the Beats link-up it might be a good idea to do so, so as not to lose too much cred, no one feels like they're being taken for a fool.
@enigmaamit
I think your comments just prove that the better your headphone the better the music sounds!

"Beats" is a EQ software upgrade, as I understood, supported by native Music player... It is the same if you turn on an EQ function in your PlayerPro of PowerAmp... for me Beats has no purpose in my phone....
It's like.... "Heeey, it is the same phone with the same hardware and it has a autoEQ called Beats, and it is black'n'red in color, with cool headset.... please pay a fortune!!!" WTF!
UPDATE: (just read this review... kinda stepped on that one )
"The Beats Audio software isn't complete marketing vapor, but it's still inherently gimmicky and adds nothing in the XE's favor: you could achieve a better result on the original Sensation simply by downloading a third-party music player that lets you play with the EQ settings yourself. The only thing which might sway us to by the Sensation XE over its predecessor is the packaged YourBeats headphones, coupled with the red styling on the phone....."
- from the Sensation XE review
HTC is saying that they wont be making more phones with beats audio in them anymore.I think Beats audio was a very good inclusion in the phone.Sound was just awesome

Agreed, my pink beats in-ear gets dirty with earwax and the red "b" and the silver thingy is gone from one of the buds.
The software was just an equaliser. The headphones are just fashion accessories. One big fat gimmick if you ask me. If you're after true sound quality, look elsewhere.

Maybe beats wants more money and now they are stopping it from being in their roms, however if that happened there will always be a way to port it to any device

Beats was marketed for years by Monster cable, the company known for selling overpriced HDMI cables by claiming they somehow improve the picture quality.
I can't imagine Beats is much more than an equalizer and some overpriced headphones, I use a free equalizer from Google Play which helps audio sound better with earbuds:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
I never really understood why so many ROM included these kinds of equalizers. I always prefer my music neutral. Surely sound engineers pick levels for a reason?
Forgive but to ANY FOOL who thinks beats mods bull then ur a whole hearted looser cause I happen to like it and so do millions of others if u don't like it get ur tail off this forum

and
Tekfusion – Twinwoofers In-Ear Headphones (Black Chrome)

Hey I was too thinking of buying one among the two, so i researched it and found that tekfusion is surely the best buy for this price bracket. So I guess I am going with it. Best of Luck brada.
Also do post your experience with the one you go with
hey anyone have Sennheiser CX 180 In-ear-canalphone or JBL Tempo In Ear Headphone i wanna know about them also if someone have them then please share with me your experience

Buy Sony ex 100lp you can always check the bass by the frequency responce
Normally headsets have
20Hz to 20KHz
This Sony has
4Hz to 22KHz
So better bass and treble
Or. In your options tek is better it has better noose isolation Sony doesn't has that good
Bass in Sony ones is lil better

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.

Get soundmagic es18 has great bass in this range, awesome quality of wire (better than my tekfusion twinwoofers), pretty nice isolation, comes with 2 extra buds n carry case.
Kunal best would be that you buy Samsung ones again they cost around 500!
