On another tech website, people were bitching about this like it's not a good thing. Yes, Beats may not be the greatest sound quality in the world compared to high end audio manufacturers, but the average person hasn't heard of those brands. Everyone knows of Dr. Dre's Beats line. This is a smart move by HTC and I am excited for better all around audio quality on the high end HTC phones!

Beats Audio is not all that great unless we are talking about their headphones. I just purchased a new HP Laptop with Beats Audio and it’s not all that impressive. Its defiantly not worth the extra money to add it on the products.

Youre so wrong.
Bose has execelent quality. I use them myself and am very impressed by the sound from Bose.
They are a bit expensive though, but i don't care, i want them anyways since they have the best quality.

Bose is definitely more reputable and better for Sound production but you don't want to know the extra cost that would add to HTC devices. It would be too darn expensive!!!

And you're a horrible form of Troll. Your point is?
Anyway you're completely off. Rap and Hip-Hop have been a huge part of both the mainstream and undergound/indie music industries for the better part of 3 decades now, and Dr. Dre has been a major force in the scene for almost as long. While I agree that Beats aren't quite as high of a quality as other similarily priced brands, there is no denying that they are very popular and have become almost iconic.
This is definiely a great move for HTC, so long as they market it right and add some well-designed software (a good music player that can actually compare to iTunes, a decent equalizer, etc), and hardware (a better external speaker on the phone) to go along with it. Who knows, maybe we'll finally see some decent headphones with a mic and audio controlls that are made for Android, and not just iPod/iPhone.

Your comment sounds like you're implying ipods actually have good hardware and iTunes is actually good software?
....weird. I couldn't possibly agree less >.>

I never said anything about hardware in refrence to iPods. But as far as iTunes, it is one of the most widely used music players in the world. And for good reason too. It is the cleanest, best looking format, and it is by far the simplest to use. Not to mention the fact that it's the only good music player with access to a decent online music store. For people who already have all their music on iTunes it's kind of a pain in the ass to get music from that to an Android phone. Even with easy sync apps, there's a few extra steps.

Pfft, when pigs fly. HTC wasted time announcing this bs where they could've announced they were going to be making better phones instead of working with an industry that makes music off of cussing and talking about drugs. This isn't even worthy of being a big announcement.

you are a lost soul, do you even know anything about rap or hip hop, or are you just listening to the radio
