By plugging your headphones in. I misplaced my bluetooth device last week, and used the auxillary input in my car as a speakerphone. The car does not have a microphone/hands free system, it just puts the audio out of the speakers, and knows based on the bands on the headset jack (lack thereof) not to look for audio input through the headset.

Wow can't believe I never noticed that...you're right! Thanks mate

There are a lot better sounding head sets than beats that are cheaper but any set will "work" I think head sets with forward/back buttons usually only work on iphones.

It's beats by HTC now not Dr Dre

What is Beats audio?

There are some custom rom for DHD include beats.
I don't know why DHD can use Beats.
Doesnt HTC one series have special hardware tip for beats?
Is beats just an software equalizer ?
HTC one series' beats is worthless if so.

Yes beats is just software equalizer. I really don't see the hype but people are obsessed with it right now. You could literally get the same sound by setting eq levels yourself. The app volume + has an eq setting for beats in it and I have used that side by side with beats and it is the same.

I've always asked the same question to myself. I believe it is some kind of software equalizer, but you will notice it better with the corresponding hardware (those famous expensive Beats headsets). I'm not to much into music listening so I can't tell the difference.

That's actually been proven false and I think HTC and dre have gotten some heat for it. Any good headphones will work. They don't have to be beats headphones.

Its a software equalizer basically. Just a link to download it.http://androidadvices.com/install-beats-audio-package-android-device/

Thanks for all
Certainly,I think the reaction of consumers are too excessive for Beats

Yeah, more like "look at me, I'm wearing ultra expensive headphones".
Dr Dre was one of the richest celebs last year because of how he ripped off HTC and I guess HP with this gimmick.

HTC phones are the first and only smartphones to give you legendary Beats Audio sound. Customized Beats by Dr. Dre headphones also come with select devices.
Authentic Sound. With Beats Audio, your sound is truly an experience. Play games, watch movies, listen to music, and hear every detail. Plus, access your apps, libraries, and Internet radio in one place
Dolby or srs sound more better than beats with headphones like akg or sonny..

"Beats Audio" is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
Ok the earphones/ headphones are just to expensive. But you are talking about Beats Audio. I've tried...and there is no equalizer like Beats. I've tried with an eqaulizer. I suggest trying it yourself...you WILL...notice the difference in the music in-ear headphones only.

I have tried beats audio and headphones on my friends rezound phone. I then tried the beats setting in volume + with my headphones on my inspire. Sorry but mine sounded better. I wanted beats to be cool because I thought it was a neat idea but it turns out its just a bunch of bull. If you can find a program that will set your eq settings at the same levels then you will get the exact same effect. The reason mine sounded better is because my headphones are better than beats headphones. So the end result, good headphones equals good sound. Eq levels are just that.

That's what I meant, beats audio with better headphones not the crappy beats headphones.

Apple Earpods

So I just got the Apple Earpods and it seems that the microphone does not work at all. During calls and in apps. It doesn't matter what ROM I am on. However I do know the microphone on the headphones does work on other phones like the Nexus 4. Is there anyway that the microphone support could be implemented into a ROM? Or is it something hardware related that Samsung did with the headphone jack?

Like all Apple products, they decided to make their own version of TRRS jacks, so Apple reversed two of the poles on the jack. You can buy a converter here for 10.00

Thank you! But I am wondering why does it not work on the GS3? It works on the nexus 4 and according to android central when they reviewed the earpods, the microphone does work the android.

I believe in the review AC used a GNex, and if you read through the comments, people say the mic does not work on a SGS3 and even the GNex.
Try downloading Jays headset control from play store and see if it works.

How to connect to 2 device in same time?

HEllo i have a HTC BH S600 Bluetooth Stereo and i cant connect to my HTC one and my notebook same time?
Any help
It's not supposed to.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Yeah unless your stereo has the capability to connect to more than one device at a time, there's nothing you can do...

Some bluetooth receivers have multipoint capability, but without it, there's nothing you can do.
The Sony MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset does multipoint up to three devices. Worth checking out.
