Hey guys! i am looking to buy earphones and VR headset for HTC 10. The included hi-res earphones lack bass. It is high on treble. I want to make full use of HTC 10 Audio capabilities. I have tried cheap VR box. My phone get really hot while using it and also the viewing quality is bad. My net speed is pretty good. I have search, but didn't find any answer I am sure many of you might have used VR and earphones with your HTC 10. Please suggest . It would be of great help. Thanks in advance.

Bang and olufsen do decent headphones, audiotechnica are my personal favourites, not sure if Jarre do some but they're a great brand..
As for headsets, so long as you have a Bluetooth pad, any of the Google cardboard ones will do just fine..Just not the ones made out of cardboard.

Thanks. Can you confirm model no of earphones and VR headsets. Any earphones better than bundled HTC 10 hi res earphone. Good part is most of the HTC 10 users has gone through experimental trial and error period. So you guys must be knowing the best possible option. I bought HTC 10 bit late.

I use Beyerdynamic DX 120 iE Earphones at work, and Sennhesier Momentum 1 at home. The Beyers are really good, but the Senns are absolutely amazing with the HTC 10 plus FLAC files.

Some bad news for those using various Beats headphones.
In the 1.26 version there were profiles for a number of Beats headsets including the pros.
In 1.28 they have removed some of these profiles. The only ones remaining are urBeats and Solo.

Make sure you contact HTC support and let them know you are upset.
I have contacted HTC support and awaiting a reply.
Apparently the XE had profiles too? But only for urBeats and Solo. Then they bring out the One X that has extra profiles, and then remove them again in an update....very odd indeed.
UK support have been useless. This was my second attempt at getting some sort of proper response on this from them
"I can confirm the latest software update version 1.28.401.9 has indeed removed the Beats headset profile for the Pro headset. The removal of this profile was intentional from the media player, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this may cause you."
No indication as to why....it makes no sense! Can others please try logging this if it matters to them
pretty sure this is related to the stuttering problem before

Interesting possibility. They have simplified the code so its like the Sensation XE version. Not happy though....just got to hope they bring back the other options at some point....

This phone just get's worse and worse....
They just need to get rid of that beats crap all together. The One X has some of worst audio quality compared to other high end devices released over the last couple years.

Is all down to opinion mate, if you want good quality music,buy an mp3 player.
Beats for me makes a real difference to the experience.
I would suggest the majority of people are not going to connect their phone to all sorts of audio equipment to test the quality of the audio,like gsm arena.
A smart phone is made to do multiple things,it is not going to be perfect in everything it does.
I'm no audiophile by any means so it's good enough for me. Like I said,it's down to opinions.

Absolutely! The phone is still rather good at being a 'one device for everything', and I don't think my hearing is sensitive enough to notice much apart from volume!
If people really miss them, can the extra profiles not be extracted and cooked into a ROM?
Has anybody sussed out what the problems with those profiles were? (Or is it just a licensing issue?)
If you get a decent pair of headphones the audio is good and works well with audio beats. It is a shame about pro beats as it sounded amazing with my a Jay headphones. Urbeats isn't to bad.
Maybe they did it because they realised how good probeats sounded without even having to use audio beats headphones.

There wern't any problems with the profiles. I think they have retreated to an older code line. The profiles of Solo, urBeats and Other are present apparently on a Sensation XE. The One X was the first to add in extra profiles, but they had problems with stuttering audio in 1.26. I think they cured this by using an old but proven codepath. The question is, are they going to bring the profiles back. As they own 51% in Beats I am sure there isn't any licensing issue.
However, if someone still on 1.26 can pull out the relevant codelines, that could be very useful indeed!

I've not really used beats headphones appart from instore tester units...
What's all the different profiles for exactly and do they make a difference?
I'm just happy with the HTC stock headphones and the standard music player on my HOX but I'm hardly an Audiophile.

I used the Studio enhancement alot, it made a big difference IMHO, I do hope they bring these extras back, can't see what's the harm leaving them there.

Okay hey guys, I've just noticed that there are only 2 options of headphones you can choose when it comes to brats audio in music? You can choose between UrBeats and Beats Solo. Which kinda sucks as I have the Studio Pro and Studio Beats. You find this as a problem?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it's not a problem for me because i use Sennheiser, but other probably covers all other beats headphones. there probably isn't much of a different on the software side when you change that. they just want to annoy you!
oh yeah, that's a hot pic.

HTC removed them in the 1.28 update (they were there in 1.26) ostensibly to resolve some audio skipping problems, or at least that's the reason speculated as I'm not sure they've confirmed that themselves. I'm sure they'll add them back in if they can get them to play nice with the rest of the software again.
Ahh okay, I'm in the process of trying to develop my own flavour of android for the one x. Might see if I can add them back again.

Hey i was wondering what's up with the Beats on the HTC one X, is it just marketing or do you get beats Earphones with the one X?
Also does one x have USB on-the-go and a feature like S beam (300mbps)
Beats is just an EQ setting, no headphones this time round.
As for S-Beam it does have WiFi direct which is used by S-Beam anyway just no quick NFC pairing.
s beam claims to transfer at 300mbps, does the wi fi direct on the one x that fast?

Beats adds no value over a 3rd party eq etc. and is otherwise just a marketing have.
The headphones that come with the HTC one X belong in the Bin along with all the other stock headphone that come with any other device.
Think it depenfs on your carrier, I got beats with vodafone ireland.

Whilst I have binned every set of ear/head phones that came with something, I actually don't mind these earphones that came with my HOX from vodafone Australia. Naturally they don't kill good individually bought units but if one doesn't have another set of ear/head phones, someone could save some dollars and use these stock earphones.

I agree - my uk hox came with alright headphones (best stock headphones I've EVER had). I personally think beats sounds alright as well (even though it is just a software ting); , of course, you're an audiophile and can be bothered re-EQing for every single different song you listen to. I've produced and recorded a couple of albums so don't consider myself 'deaf' and but maybe I'm just not that fussed about studio quality sound when I'm on my way to work...
I think it can be taken with a pinch of salt, and everyone will have different hearing thresholds. There's far too many web sites that dive far too in depth into chipsets, and the like and basically rip a phone apart. Unfortunately the average consumer enthusiast like ourselves, will take this information on board and choose a phone based on these supposed facts.
At teh end of the day, if one sounds better to you than the other, go buy it. most stores have a live testing device or a few, so take your headphones and play some tunes on them. Only then can you decide what is best for your ears, not anyone elses.
Let's face it, we've come a long way from carrying a phone and separate mp3 player
Yea i doubt S beam can get to 300mbps but it would still be fast than standard WIFI Direct in other phones
Also GSMarena says that the HTC one X doesn't have Image stabilization Built in, is that true?
Vodafone austria here and mine did come with Beats by Dr. Dre

A friend brought an unlocked One X in the UK just a few weeks after it was launched and he did get the Beats headphones... I think HTC has stopped bundling the special headphone now.
As said beats is just dynamic compression with slight boosts to treble and bass , you can get the same and better with any eq app.

I know these are iPhone headphones, but is there any way to get the volume controls to work? I've been looking all over forums, etc. Most people just say to take them back. I got these free in a promotional deal and I'd like to use them since they don't sound too bad for what I listen to while at work. I listen to a lot of dubstep/hip-hop while I'm working and these don't seem that bad for that, and it sure beats carrying around my 17" Macbook pro + uDac 2 + ATH-M50s or Beyerdynamic DT-990s.
Thanks in advance.

Download an app called something similar to Jay's Headset Controls, it assigns more commands to the pause/play button.
Really confusing as the ones you buy don't support HTC but the ones that come free do work.
I do muss having a forward and back button but currently using the S4A and they work great (although not with the default HTC music player)
you would think Beats would actually have a proper headset out that works with android ;s
I thought there were two versions, iBeats and urBeats. I seem to remember one working with HTC Android devices. I'll have to look now.
