I want to know what ya'll think?How do you guy feel about beats audio?
I won't miss Beats at all, it's a terrible thing. It only makes crap headphones sound better.
Good read!
I'm surprised no manufacture has a TV tuner installed on there device! Watch football OTA without a data connection.
Next year's Evo at $100 or $150 not a bad idea. What they need to do is be more timely on their updates and allow us to frigging use m10 tools

I hope its not a 100$ evo.
Then it wont be as exclusive ..they just need to beat Sammy.. Samsung knew the gs3 had nothing on the HOX so what they do..add a GB of ram..and now everyone who has a gs3 uses that as the reason as to why its better ..

It is very unlikely that HTC is going to beat Samsung in the near future. Samsung is outselling HTC almost 10 to 1. The GS3 is going to sell better because people will be more attracted to it because Samsung is the more popular brand. I will guarantee you that most of the sales that these phones see are from people who wouldn't even know the difference between 1GB of RAM and 2GB of RAM.
It's all about keeping up to date with their phones. Releasing updates to the OS a year after they've been released isn't the way to keep loyal customers.
Beats was one of the selling points for me as a semi-pro musician and audiophile. Combined with my high-end Ultimate Ears, it is unbeatable. Amazing!
With that said, cutting profit margins and releasing a flagship phone, instead of a chain of phones that are indecipherable and confusing would be a good idea for HTC. At least give them memorable, highly-marketable names, and pummel the target audience with effective advertising.
The recent HTC commercial was an epic fail.

I agree with beats audio,they make my ultimate ears sound really nice. Also my car blutooth and friends cars sound really nice with beats audio. I don't see how anyone could not like them. I listen to very high end equipment and beats audio is awesome,sadly the feature is 100x better then there headphones.

I don't agree with removing beats from future phones. It's not a deal maker but a nice touch.

I'll be honest.. I really liked the way my phone sounded with beats.. so much so I bought a pair of tours... anyways I do believe using Apollo with cm10 seems louder to me
Meaningless read, HTC could if it would and would if it could, it might since it could.
So back to reality. I rock the green house with beats over blue tooth into an installed system. Great sound, @ no 3g the battery drops about 3.5% an hour with bluetooth and gps on.
A nice strategy might be to compare HTC's "connectivity range" vs the rest. Of course they would have to build it like the OG. Sprint could then lower it's costs by having less towers, or Sprint could then claim to have increased it's network.
I personally think the DOC is more responsible for the improved sound than Beats. I have musician's ears and thousands of dollars of audio equipment, and I never turn beats on because all I hear is an increase in bass and a muddied mid-bass. Not a fan of it. ESPECIALLY the headphones, which are a complete rip-off!

But seriously, come on with this Beats Audio mumbo jumbo. It's a freakin' EQ! We HAVE those already. Only I can actually control mine, instead of having one preset mode only. Eh, whatever. If it sells, good for HTC.

Lol idk about sucks. I have a pair of studios and they are amazing just a little pricy
Remember, Remember, the 5th of November. Thanks for support!
I'm sure a paper cone would be an improvement, but hey sounds good to me
This is good news, because whoever was in charge of the speakers in HTC devices until now needs to be fired. The speaker in the Evo 3D is probably the WORST speaker I have ever heard in a phone...ever.
Eh, I'm not too big on this. The Beats are overpriced moderate quality headphones; you can find much better headphones for the same price, and similar headphones for a much lower price. But it also goes to say that the Beats have a terrible overpowering bass that makes listening to any music that isn't rap terrible.
I can't see a ton of good in this. I see more expensive phones as the Beats start to draw the hypnotized audio market towards this idea.

Sound quality is good
Most people hate them because they assume it will have awesome bass because Dr.dre made them...
I think there are atleast 3 companies that make studio quality head phones that charge half of the price of beats
I have Ultrasone hfi-580's with bass boost
They blow beats out of the water
And for the price (120 dollars for standard pair) they will win me over
The only reason there so expensive is because a "has been" rapper turned recording artist (my opinion) has his name on it... They do look nice and hold up to some abuse... But for the average user they hold no water
Skull candies are better if you listen to rap
Not 300 dollar Chinese made Dr.dre beats

I honestly think they don't have enough bass :/
But that's just me
Most likely because I have a 149-154db car audio system

I really don't care about this at all..
Beats sound good, but the price doesn't match the quality... They are way over priced
If this doesn't increase the price of HTC devices then great. If they try the sell select models (which they will) that feature Beats and slap a higher price on that particular phone... Than pass, and I'm pissed they went that route instead of just dumping that money into improving ALL their speakers in all their phones.

Yeah I sold mine for 550 bucks Nd bought a bnib EVO 4G for 180 shipped (xda marketplace ftw)
I also got a fee upgrade from Sprint because of all the problems I had with the phones,service,and customer service!
Plus a nice 150 dollar (free month) credit
I'm using my free upgrade to get another 3d and making sure I get one with no tilt,reboots, and green pictures! I already talked to the manager at my local store and he "agreed" to let me open a few and pic the best one (hopefully he doesn't lie)

The screen quality in my opinion is much much better than the Nexus as well. Higher PPI and a true RGB hd display. The color reproduction on slcd screens is also better IMO. Idk, I just love this phone. Lol. I also picked up the extended battery and it makes the phone super thick but for some reason it really doesn't bother me.

I'm glad so many Android pros love this phone.it's my first smartphone and I really do love it. I stated researching at least 8 months ago and it finally came down to Rezound or Nexus and I picked this due to specs of screen and removable sd card and also because it had sense and I love it all! I'm keeping sense even after I learn how to root.

But out the box, I was disappointed, its no where near as loud as my photons output but everything else about the phone is better. But now with dsp manager installed, sound is amazing.

So yea, I can hear the difference but I don't really give a sh!t. As long as my music plays real loud & has plenty of bass I think it sounds just fine.
I LOVE the sound of my Rezound running both beats & DSP with the settings shown here listening through my Beats solo phones.

Eh, I honestly hate Bose almost as much as Apple. I'm a huge speaker guy, and they make some of the worst speakers in the world in terms of what you get for the price.
There's a somewhat famous write-up where this audiophile ripped a $1000 Bose set to pieces and reviewed the build quality, and did lots of sound tests that test for decimal levels at various frequencies throughout the spectrum. The results were both amusing and horrifying. They're a brand who uses marketing and advertising to sell products.
Similar to Apple, they make DECENT products, but they're highly over-hyped, and you can get far better for the money you spend. I'll link that article if I can find it. It is eye-opening.
Edit: Here it is - I'd recommend you sit down and take the time to read thoroughly when you can. Quite an interesting read! And this is full of sonic FACTS, not idiots opinions (although there's certainly some opinion in it).

Hey guys.
I know there will be a bias towards EVO LTE then the S3. I'm just trying to get some honest opinions.
Currently I own the original EVO. I'm torn between both phones. I'm leaning towards the EVO (kick stand, brighter screen, looks better). But the 2GB RAM in the S3 sounds nice a advantage.
How do you guys feel about the 1GB ram. Generally more ram = better performance after long usage. So do you guys feels 1GB is enough?
What is it search isn't working or the other threads all over XDA discussing 1gb vs 2gb, isn't enough for you?
Even out of that 2GB of RAM, your still gonna have just as much free RAM as you do with the EVO you got now. Be happy with it. S3 is a good device, but I'll stick with HTC.

the GS3 feels cheap and like plastic the build quality is of the evo is great
After owning the fascinate gs2 and gnex I am burned out on Samsung build quality the overrated samoled screens so I decided to get the evo it has great build quality the screen is probably the best I've seen on any phone. But sense and the lack of RAM does kinda turn me off hopefully jb will help this phone out but it should have at least another half gig of RAM
I dont like samsung phones... too plasticy and they just dont feel furable. I also feel their amoled screens make colors look too saturated and unrealistic. Though honestly.. I had an HTC Amaze 4g for about 5 days before i got the Evo 4G LTE...and I liked the amaze better. Considering going back. =/ Ill post my reasons for that if anyone inquires. But I did pick the Evo LTE over samsung
Came from an iPhone 4S...I needed a good phone with a good screen.
This screen is perfect. Plus its beats audio EQ which puts it on par with iPhones/iPods. I only compare it to the iPhone because Retina display, EQ, and iMessage are the only things Apple got right imo (well, they didn't get iMessage right but I'm not here to bash Apple). 2/3 is good. Plus all of the Android goodness...this is like heaven.
I don't like cheap phones and I've been with HTC since the HTC touch

How is the speaker (for hands-free calling), hopefully louder than originally evo.

I personally have had issues with the speaker being too low for my taste. But it's definitely usable and I wouldn't imagine you'd be using hand-free in a loud or public environment so for what it's worth it'll work.

I dont feel the speaker is as loud as the og EVO. Maybe with custom kernels it will get louder, but I'm not sure if that's headjack loudness or external speaker they can modify. Maybe both?

Speaker is definitely lower than the original Evo but louder than the 3D..the original Evo speaker was perfectly loud.

Even out of that 2GB of RAM, your still gonna have just as much free RAM as you do with the EVO you got now. Be happy with it. S3 is a good device, but I'll stick with HTC.

Why do you say that about the ram?

Ya know. I was listening to 2 Podcasts a while back before the phone e was released. One was android Central and the other was Twit. They both were talking about how the S3 had 2GB of RAM, but somehow the S3 has so much more going on within the device, it eats up a buncha ram. It was so long ago, I can't remember exactly what was explained. Is wish I could. But when it was explained it made perfect sense. My buddy in work has an S3. I gotta make sure now so I don't make myself look like a comets **** LOL. It kinda irritates me when people and even some of these lame ass Blogs, say it's the best device of all time, cause it has one more GB of RAM..... I call BS on that brotha,

I have the Evo because I traded my 4s for it. May or may not get the S3 or the next Nexus with my upcoming upgrade. I'm really loving the Evo though.

I don't regret buying HTC.
I love HTC phones, but, the future of development for people who root is with samsung. Everyone is buying their phones unfortunately

Samsung claims they added the extra gb of ram to future proof it for jb. However, It's painfully obvious you don't need 2gb of ram to run jb, so it having an extra gig is a moot point to me.

I have both. The HTC build quality can't be touched. The display is a toss up... the HTC is more natural and lifelike while the Samsung is more vibrant. The s3 speed and performance is ahead... by a lot in day to day use.

I played with an S3 briefly today. Nice phone, but ugly. Both the hardware and software are ugly. No noticeable difference in speed between my rooted overclocked EVO running Flex's ROM and that stock S3... Haha.

Here are the ones that came with my phone. Don't like the cable very much though...

Just normal, HTC headphones. I was disappointed when I watched the unboxing video...
Blaah. Was afraid of that. Everywhere I read of x:s specs they are quick to mention beats audio, but not a single word on the sucky stock phones.
I hate deceptive marketing!
I actually tried the phones yesterday, since my mw600 was discharged. The sound in the stock phones was really good for that type of headphone. If it weren't for a handful of other reasons I'd consider using them.
Has no one else got a pair of Beats by Dre Solo with the device? As well as the HTC ones in the box..?
Nope. Considering that the "beats by dr dré solo" headphones cost about 160 euro over here ( more than half of what I paid for the DX) I'm not really surprised.. Must've been an awesome deal you've had.

Oh mine came with the contract I got the phone on. Weird since the whole 'Beats by Dre' is like a selling point.
"Beats by Dr Dré" is available on my phone, but seems to be restricted to an audio filter that sounds like a generic loudness filter to my semi-developed ears . May work like magic if you like the music by Dr Dré, but I may be too old for that
