    This is where HTC shines. HTC phones maybe crap nowadays but their audio is the best on phones.

      Tourettes Guy, 13 Jan 2017In short, Samsung would still suck in terms of audioSony walkman and smartphone are trash, only their head/earphones are good, just good not the best. For digital audio player i trust Astell & Kern and Fiio, for the headphone i trust AKG, Shure and Sennheiser.

      Sony audio only for amateur audiophiles with some fancy gimmick features.

            Harman is getting a bit greedy there. Samsung's offer is pretty fair.

              AnonD-491921, 13 Jan 2017But why would you want that? I think Harman should stay an independent company and shouldn't be bought, but if it would be bought, I would definitely be against Samsung.

                            AnonD-265341, 13 Jan 2017Harman is known as a premium quality band, Samsung is not, ... more"they are known for the opposite. Not bad, but cheap and rarely premium."

                              Who cares wether Samsung have Harmon or not! Ah yes Apple sheep's do because it's perfectly fine for Apple to have beats now....

                              I really don't understand people going on about speaker music on phones??? If I want to listen to music I use in ear headphones not be like sad irritating people on public transport blaring music out and annoying everyone else!

                              Whatever happens the S8 will still sell!

                                    AnonD-255623, 13 Jan 2017Err no. HTC has had the best audio quality but people don't... moremany iPhone consumers bought it because of wrong perception of high-quality and because their peers steered them in that direction. I suspect that in the US a bit of brand patriotism plays as well.

                                    As for Samsung many people buy Samsung because Samsung forces shops to only have their assortment which gives the idea that besides Apple there's only Samsung. As for my own situation I've decided that my Galaxy S5 would be my last Samsung phone. But unfortunately I haven't bought another phone since and in fact still use that S5 as my daily driver. Since all handset manufacturers are fucking up (no headphone-jack? Who's crazy idea is THAT?) I haven't felt the need to upgrade. Especially since my S5 is today still faster than many newer phones and still run all the apps that I require. I also believe that I'm not as vulnerable to propaganda as many others (with regards to supposed "security patches" and OS upgrades).

What these shareholders fail to understand is that the share price is at 110$ currently due to the announcement of this deal, this deal goes away so does that share price.
