      if beats weren't so rediculously overpriced then the company wouldnt be in financial trouble. not every one can follow the apple platform where building low, and selling high works. yes its a popular brand, but prands can't last if they dont evolve with their environments. Remember SOL republic are made with the same compnents as beats, but are a fraction of the cost, less cost same quality...i know what i would buy.

          Beats was not that useful in HTC phones anyway, so good riddance to beats coz its HTC that needs to realise that it is them that doesn't need beats... They'll truly be doing HTC a favour by calling it quits. HTC should look for a better sound system provider, coz beats suck and 3rd part equalisers can be altered to perform better...

            AnonD-78383, 19 Aug 2013Lol like beats would even be compatible with Windows 8. Why not, Beats would even compatible with radio from Victorian era. But who's care:p

              Anonymous, 19 Aug 2013Lol to all believing beats audio is an amplifier or any kin... moreCompletely agree!

              With one only notice: if you pursue for sound perfection, then avoid Beats at any cost.

                AnonD-89438, 19 Aug 2013Beats Audio amplifier with HTC build quality is really goodNo, it's not such kind of amplifier, it's just sound boost trick. HTC made normal sound pretty awfully bad, than by activating Beats the impact will be increased drastically, but the rithms are dissolved everywhere.

                I hope HTC adopt better DAC like Wolfson in the future.

                        Lol to all believing beats audio is an amplifier or any kind of soundchip^^ Beats Audio on HTC devices are nothing more than a special equalizer setting, nothing more. This is why people at XDA could take the libs from the phone and put it in croms of totally different phones.

                                I wish if Beats can come up with Nokia Lumia. It would be exciting then.

                                  Beats were big even before the HTC branding, and its quite the opposite as HTC were going donwhill until people realised that HTC phones had the Beat audio engine inside, so I feel that Beats actually helped the sale of many HTC handsets

                                    This is a perfect opportunity for Nokia to ditch Dolby and pitch to beats. Nokia and beats would be an amazing combination.
