I am not sure if anyone here cares about the headsets but it looks like they will be gone soon.
I don't use it a lot but is always nice to have an extra bonus with the phone!

No great loss. No harm, no foul - which is a good thing.

I would have swapped them iBeats for real Gorilla Glass on the screen any day..
I love my Beats earbuds. They sound great. Best earbuds I've ever had. Timing is everything, I guess.

Agreed. I would let them take the bundled micro sd also if it would net me any kind of upgrade to the physical phone (better mic, better speakers, etc).
Only advantage to having the headphones for me was selling them for my first phone and selling them when I got my second phone from insurance due to a cracked screen. It helped me justify the cost. first pair sold for 80, and second pair sold for 60 due to market saturation.
Yes, gorilla glass would be nice to have for sure, however I take anything that is a bonus.
For those eligible, the Rezound it is a steal now, I upgraded my wife's DX last Friday w/a Rezound and mine DX today with another Rezound. I was considering the Razr Maxx and Galaxy as well, but could not pass up this deal!
Her's was $50 and mine was $20 so between the 2 headsets plus 2 bundled 16gb cards the phones were basically free!
Looks like no more of this in the future, but as well mentioned, hopefully they will substitute these "accessories" for more quality materials on the phone.

I haven't actually played with a One X, but from reviews and comparisons to other HTC phones, it seems that quality has gotten better. In my opinion, design has been raised a few bars also.

If it wasn't for the severe ear fatigue I get from listening to them for more than an hour or so at a time, I would use them more often. They really do sound great.
I think this is for the best IMO
I like the "free" headphones, but I'm hoping the phones will be cheaper..
the Rez shouldnt have been $300 for a 2 year contract.
but this is jsut my feelings, as I would prefer to use a set of these headphones, instead of having to pay a little extra for a set id rarely use, but everyone is diff..

The 49 dollar Lumia 900 is making 300 dollar Android phones look really bad. And I threw my Beats away. Literally. In the garbage. I don't want to pay for that crap, and if I wanted them I'd buy them on my own. Give me a cheaper phone, not headphones I probably don't want.
I use mine all the time, but only because the came with the phone and I don't want to spend $50+ on another pair. They're not the best for me since I listen to a lot of heavy metal and the heavy bass gets annoying. HTC must feel like a smacked ass since they spent $300 million for what's essentially and equalizer.

While I'm glad I sold mine as soon as I could and made some of the money back for how much the phone was overpriced to start with, I have a feeling the price for the top of the line phones won't be coming down. With my discount I paid $265 for the rezound on release day. Got $70 out of the beats so that put the phone about where it should have been to start with. I really don't agree with using gimmicks to mark up the price on the phone. If I want overpriced earbuds, I'll go buy the ones I want.
I do use my iBeats everyday too, but mostly just because they came with the phone.. I actually don't like the way they sound at all, to be quite honest, but they ARE extremely well built, and so I use them when I'm riding my bike or some other activities like rock climbing where I want something relatively durable, but when audio quality isn't the primary concern. It is nice to have them. I certainly don't want to be riding my bike with headphones that I actually paid $150 of my own money for.. so some high quality headphones for free was a plus.
However, I still would rather have Gorilla Glass instead of the iBeats. Its the one area of the phone where they cheaped out and its pretty easy to accidentally scratch.

****... I would have taken them from you if you were just going to throw them out. Hell, you could have made at least 50-60 bucks off them just selling them on ebay.
I never realized how much of a better quality they were until they got stolen. Now I'm back to my ****ty skull candy earbuds and there was a significant difference in quality. I especially liked all the bass since I use them for working out. The only issue I really had was the buttons on the headphones. I accidentally hit them when I was working out which would cause the phone to pause.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for any decent headphones for around 60 dollars? I'd get the beats again, but seeing as most people say the price isn't justifiable to the quality; I'd by something better for the same price.
Or if anyone feels like making a donation, I'd appreciate it very much.

LOL, if you like Klipsch buds you definitely won't like the beats.
Those two sets are like complete opposites(I own both the ibeats and the beats tour and the Klipsch x-10 and the Klipsch s4).
The beats have too much bass and the Klipsch have too much high end.

meelec is a good brand. i have the m6 but i gave it away as a gift. that person says it's pretty good. i have their m11 and the sound is nice.
I like Skull Candy Inked as well. With PowerAMP EQ set up like iTunes Electronic set up and Bass and Treble sliders up it sounds great! They're only 15 buck and as long as you ahve the reciept you have unlimited warranty and they send you new ones if they're broken.

I was going to recomment the M6's as well. You can often find them under $15 at places like newegg.com.
They're well reviewed by audiophiles at head-fi.org for their value against price. For my ears, they sound much better than the skullcandy's under $40.
Thanks guys lol feel like I'm making a live decision. I will let you guys know what I got and if was pleased

I swear by the Sennheiser CX line. I have the CX-300s, here is the newer version of those:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK-II-Earbuds-Carrying/dp/B001EZYMF4/
Best sounding headphones I've ever had were "woodys" I believe they were colby and they sounded magnificent got them for 5 bucks at big lots
Shot from my shooter in 3D
injected with cleanrom2.7
the 50/50's are just over 40 bucks but i think they are worth it. the sound is wonderful from the bass to the trebble. ive used just about every skull candy bud around and i def reccommend those. id say they are a close second to the titans just because the bass is amazing on those.
MDR-XB41EX
I have the 40EXs and they sound fantastic. These are just the newer model, so I'm assuming they have the same sound characteristics. Frequency response (4Hz - 24,000Hz), sensitivity (105dB/mW, you will hear things you've never heard in a song), and isolation are great with these headphones. For 50 bucks, they're not the best headphones out there, but they're the best bang for the buck. The bass can be a bit overwhelming if you do not listen to bass-oriented music, but a tweak of the equalizer will fix it.

That's quite an old model, I paid like $50 for mine more than five years ago... They're not bad, and can obviously be found cheaper now, but the MEElectronics M9P (mic version) I bought for $20 not too long ago are far better (way more balanced sound), they're also far better than most overpriced Skullcandies if you ask me. MEElec has some amazingly good bang for your buck models under $50 tbh, some stuff that actually compete well with some $50 models from Senn, Nuforce, Ety, etc. Most
I was actually surprised to see MEElec headphones at CompUSA the other day, and I'm mildly surprised BB sells them online. Most audio gear sold by big electronics stores like BB is usually vastly overpriced, specially at their brick and mortar stores.
Skullcandy started as a budget brand, and still is mostly, but they've never been great for the price regardless. Stuff like Bose and Beats are just a rip off. JVC and Koss are two of the very few brands they have a foothold in general electronics stores like that and aren't usually ripping you off. The JVC HAF34 are solid if you need to buy locally btw.
That's my two cents... Do some research at a forum like HeadFi, they can be snobbish at times but if you know how much you're willing to spend you're always gonna be better off after looking at some of the recommendations there.
Anyone ever tried the Skull Candy Fix earbuds? I had never even seen them before today. A vendor at the Georgia vs Florida game had them for sale in a few different colors. They are suppose to stay in your ear better than any other earbuds due to their design. I don't have any issues with the Skull Candy Titan earbuds staying in, but I've never jogged or exercised while using them either (which the Fix line claims to be able to do). These also have call function with them too, which the Titan line doesn't have, and something that I'm now wanting a pair of earbuds to be capable of. Please let me know if any one has any feedback on these.

Hey guys thanks for viewing I could really use some advice from you experts
I'm eligible for an early upgrade which is 20$+ contract price...but in exactly 2 months I have my NE2 available. The rezound is on sale right now for 99$ and it's very tempting...
I really couldn't spend more than 200 right now on a phone period and I know the nexus will be there soon @ 16gb storage capacity...It's the only other phone I'd even consider right now.
Do you guys think it would be worth it to jump on this deal now or do you think this phone will still be at the 99$ price point in 2 months?
My concerns are...
1. I absolutely hate sense and would just love stock ICS but all the roms seem to have an issue or more.
2. I hear the iBeats are kind of cheap and break pretty easily...I run/work-out a lot and the nice music would really be enjoyable. I also use google music and know that beats only works with the stock music player.
3. I read the battery life is pretty ****...I would buy the extended battery but I'm worried that it will be a tank...way to heavy?
Please help guys
1. Matter of time before stock ICS- and the senseless ones in here are pretty damn solid
2. I workout in the ibeats- I'm not a big sweater but they've been fine- it's all about how you treat them- when they're not in use- they're coiled up and put bag into the supplied bag. I know they're over-rated but they are the best set of headphones I've owned (granted, I've always bought crap)
3. Battery life is fine for me- sure it could be better but it's never failed me in a pinch.. I played a 4 hr round of golf the other day and streamed sirius/xm on 4g the whole time- still had plenty of battery when I was done w/ the round.
At 99 bucks- this phone is the biggest freakin no-brainer to me.. Sure, there are quad cores on the horizon, but they likely won't be in your 200 dollar budget. Plus- I'm waiting on some applications/OS that are actually going to take full advantage of these multi-core devices that are limited to a 4.3-4.5 inch screen (Before I left my Droid Inc I was running a sense 3.5 rom and it ran beautifully- not that I'm regretting getting the rezound in anyway..)
I have OEM extended battery and I love the added weight and grip it gives the phone and obviously all the extra juice lol usually never have a problem with my phone lasting til bedtime with moderate to semiheavy daily usage.
I would not pass up the Rezound for $99. That's a steal for sure lol. Hopefully u get it and enjoy!

1. ICS Sense is not as bad as previous Sense. Its very smooth and fast, they also have done a great job on de-bloating apps. The only problem I have is the Bluetooth and a minor blue screen flicker, everything else works flawlessly.
2. The ibeats are crap to other earphones that are over $80, tell me how many of those do you own? They sound VERY great and are the best phone ear phones EVER.
3. The phone is pretty heavy as is but its also no Blackberry. Its sleep slightly heavier than the original Dinc. Battery is also better than the Dinc, the extended on The rez does make it bigger but doesn't stand out as bad as the Dinc did.
All in all, I love the rez. I would recommend the rez over any phone out right now. You won't be dissapointed.
Thanks a lot guys.
I'm just pissed that I waited all these months for this "New every 2" upgrade and now I'd just be passing it up. My DX is dying out tho anyways...had this ink leak and It's beyond annoying lol.
The battery is fine, beats are garbage. But, you can make 50 of your 99 bucks back selling them to some idiot who thinks they sound good!
Wow- I guess I'm an idiot as are many on these forums. Maybe I should go back to my ipod buds??

Apparently so
Gotta love the internet..
Anyways- I'll stick with it since it's kind of on topic as the OP has questions about beats.. What other 99 dollar phone (or any priced for phone for that matter)- comes with higher quality buds? Again- not that these are the best ever- but beat anything I've owned and am willing to pay for separately. The fact that they came w/ the phone was just a plus.
Maybe I can bring them to a store that sells them and exchange them for the tours? They got that tangle free cord which is pretty cool.
Do it
Best phone I've ever had. Dual core processor, 1.5 GHz and 1 Gb of memory makes it the fastest phone on the market as of now.
4GLTE is nice too. I can download albums in less than 10 minutes. The screen is gorgeous (720p) but the battery does kind of blow, unless you pick up an extended battery (which are half off!). They add some bulk, but when it's in your pocket you don't really notice. (Click the link in my siggy for full ext. battery info) Also why so much hate on the beats? They sound nice on the phone.
Nice! Alright guys I jumped on board =) Just ordered...should have it monday.
Where is that extended batt. for half off? I can't find it for sale period lol..
The half off battery is only in store, I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Not sure if the sale is still going on. If it is they will try to sell it to you for half off 59.99 well look at the box when they go get it because there is probably a sticker on it for 49.99 so you will get half off that. I didn't notice till they rang half of the $59.99 then paid then I had them return and repurchase at the half off the $49.99. As far as exchanging the beats somewhere for a different model you will have to somehow break the ones that come in the phone box and have them send a replacement because you will get the actual ibeats in the OEM ibeats box, same as in stores with the price tag of $99.99 on the ibeats box! Great choice going with Rezound you will love it but you point on the stock battery are true it is terrible, but all of the android phones are. Something you just have to deal with till they can figure out how to make them last longer or start putting extended in from the factory. ENJOY!

If I somehow manage to do what you suggested and get the tours for a few bucks more that would be like hitting the lotto with this phone haha.

yeah that is a good price for this phone. it retails at $600 i believe. Will you be getting the beats head phones with it too?
Depends on the quality of the Rezound and if it is rooted or not. It seems fair. I would value a good condition Rezound around $300. If it has all the original components, box, manual and is in perfect condition I would say more around $350.

Some of the online sites are buying for $180, and that's without headphones. Selling the phone outright is $250 ish and up. If the headphones are included, they sell around me for $50 and up to $75 by themselves. Having a Rezound, I don't know what the big bruhah is about the phone. You can only hear the enhancements of the music if you use their music player. So you can't get the benefit of the music enhancements if you're listening to Slacker or any other streaming music.
All in all, the object is worth what you're willing to pay for it. To you, that might mean $285. For me, $150 is too much, even if it came with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader squad. Then again, I got mine for free because of my Droid Charge issues, but I was hoping for a Nexus. Nice phone, but after having mine for a couple of weeks, I HATE THE INTERFACE. Though I didn't get headphones, I can hear the difference of the music quality while using my own ear buds and using their media player, but honestly, I don't see enough of a difference in any of the classical, rock, Swedish metal, or 80 music I listen to so as to say that is phone would have been a fantastic purchase. Who knows, maybe the Beats headphones really do make the difference.

but the cost of the headphones on VZW invoice says they were $25 and have a 1 year warranty. so people paying that much for them is insane.
Got mine for 298 with 3 extended batteries, battery charger and case
I'd also compare other phones of roughly the same caliber/release time, such as the Galaxy Nexus or the RAZR. If you like what you see and hear about these over the Rezound and can get them for a slight variance in the price, then you could pass. The Beats headphones are nice, but nothing noticeable over a nice $40 pair of Skullcandy headphones I had awhile back. I picked the Rezound because I like Sense, and it seemed like the evolution of my previous phone, the Incredible. For $250, I'd go for it.

Forgot to mention that it comes with an Ottorbox as well. Thanks for all the replies.

If the deal falls through, I'll buy the phone from you with immediate pmt.
Just picked mine up today and was very surprise to not see any headphones inside the box, especially since it has beats built-in.

Just another way VZ to screw us. Atleast throw a pair in. Cheap a$$ bastards
I personally believe they're doing us both a favour, cuts down their cost, and in all honesty if you're buying a high-end phone you should seriously consider investing into a decent pair of headphones/earphones to experience true quality sound.
all the unboxing videos showed no headphones, so no reason to be suprised. They did the beats thing with the rezound, and not sure if any other phones got them. They were nice to get.
Ya were fooled
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple
they discontinued the headphones in the box thing a long time ago... they just don't come with HTC phones anymore. then again they never came with any other smartphone to begin with. Apple headphones do not count, i can't even call them headphones when a cheap $5 pair from walmart is 10x better

The Beats buds that came with the Rezound are pretty darn nice.
Does anyone have a pair? I'm not looking for something audiophile quality. More something nice, wireless and comfortable (worry about that part with this set). They are <$100 on Motorola right now.

Any other recommendations. Since it's a 2-day sale, kinda wanted to jump on them, but I figured I'd give my CC a break for a few minutes first.

I bought a pair for my wife earlier this year for her birthday and she absolutely loves them. The audio quality is quite good for a bluetooth pair of headphones and the range is amazing. They're also very light and have good battery life. She actually uses them at the gym a lot and she says they don't get in the way and are comfortable. Noise isolation is good as well since she uses them to drown out other people talking to her when she's trying to work.
At $99 I would say they're definitely worth it.

Thanks. Was thinking of using them at the gym (not on treadmill). Maybe I can get my wife to order them for me as an early Xmas present
...and they're gone.
Check out the Jaybirds BluebudsX. I've had mine about 15 months and they are the best bluetooth earphones I've had. Especially if you plan on doing physical activities with them. They sound fantastic, are super comfortable, have a great range, and battery is great for something the size they are.

Thanks. I've heard great things about the BlueBudsX... unfortunately I can't trust anything in-ear to stay in. I've had countless buds... none stay unless they are over the ear. My ears are a bit misshaped. Not like horror movie, nor really noticeable at all... but nothing stays in on me. I had my ubilical cord wrapped behind my ears and across my forehead when I was born, which makes me think that was the root cause. I don't think I'll run in these... I doubt they are the slightest bit water resistant. I have a pair of cheap over-the-ears that I run with now that I will continue to use.
FYI, these went back instock and still 50% off if anyone is interested.
I own the Sol Republic Tracks Air. I think they're amazing, but then once I installed ViPER4ANDROID, boy, you have no idea. Better than some more audiophile-style headphones.
