HTC bought beats Audio some time ago and branded all their phones with with it. Its an EQ software that works well with Beats headsets.
Authentic Beat audio is not that much bad and it sounds okay with samsung earphone... good with creative earphone and best sounds with beat company earphone... however beat earphone is cost around Rs8000.. but when you hear the beat audio with beat earphone you definitely feel so good and sound is really superb... specially with flac audio format...
yes... phone is good.. but this is not a powerhouse like your phone... battery is not that much good and its unibody and can't carry even standby battery... else everything is okay in this phone..
Nicko Sorry pal but i sincerely disagree. All that beats audio is, is Whoomp Whoomp and it ends there. No detail nothing, just mid pushed forward. I have tried the Dr. Dre tour edition IEM's as well as the top of the line Beats Pro Headphones. All i could make out was whoomp whoomp. Audio source was a 4th Gen iPod touch using the line out cable. I can exactly replicate the SQ using the Poweramp equalizer. They have just pushed the mid and extreme left and right frequencies up a few notches. Hell i hate using my Marshmallows on this phone. The Sounstage is so darn narrow. Annnnd... yeap i use FLAC mostly or 320 kbps CBR mp3's. Beats is basically a fad which has hit India recently. Just like Apple hit some years back. At least Apple, to my sorrow, is actually worth it. The Audio out on the One X isnt even close to the SGS 3 leave alone the iPod. The one reason i bought this was for portable gaming. Just love the bloody games! And most are exclusives. I get around 3 to 4 hours of screen time on InsertCoin ROM running with Faux B5.1 kernel. (along with the gaming boost app) . Agreed its isnt as good as other phones, wth LCD displays do suck more power than pentile matrix displays. Even my captivate used to sound better than this. But what the hell, cant ask for everything. Maybe we can, i really didnt get this for Audio bliss Gotta love the bloody screen! Plain gorgeous. And the body... will be getting the black replacement body soon. The white one isn't really rocking my boat.
indeed a very nice phone, currently attracting a large number of devs @ xda, m also thinking of getting the cdma variant. Congrats for a great phone
