[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Lot of discussion on this topic in here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476788

I and many others don't believe that's proof enough that there wont be beats. HTC have said many times its un-decided. In the post I linked to above one user has posted a conversation with HTC UK support who say it will come with beats. At this time we just don't know. The information Amazon have is probably just the basic info HTC gave them and subject to change until the release date (which also hasn't been confirmed)
[HTC One X] H88RRY:
I've, spoke with a HTC rep in my store and he suggested that adding £80 earphones to a flagship smart phone devalues it which I found upsetting as I've ordered mine already :-\

[HTC One X] gordongartrell:
Devalues it? One of HTC's main feature is that their devices use Beats Audio technology. Wouldn't they want Beats earphone (even cheap ones) to complement the phone?
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Have they actually said you need beats headphones to take advantage of the better sound? If not then it doesn't really matter
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
It's not been confirmed if they come with beats earbuds or not.

Just have to wait & see.

But it should... They supplied them with the sensation, surely it would be stupid not to with their flagship X model.
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
noticed this on twitter:

Sander Schaeffer: @Vilscon @htc @HTCSource are there any expectations what headset Will come along with the One X, together with a Vodafone plan in NL? Gonna buy the X

HTC: @Vilscon Hey, Sander. We will have more information on this when availability and pricing details are released later. Stay tuned!

My guess they either don't come with beats other wise why not just say they do? or they will come with Flat wired (non-tangle) beats headset (aka beats tour) and they are wanting to make a big announcement out of it to stir more interest.
[HTC One X] gordongartrell:
Beats headphones don't take advantage of better sound. Beats Head/Earphones are pretty overrated. My Shure headphones blow any beats head/earphones out of the water. In a marketing standpoint, it would make sense to include Beats earphones with the phone. If Beats headphones come with the phone, i'm selling them right away.
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Ya, my thread was more direct, I have see no point discuss in "mega information" since we have the whole general thread. I creating this thread because we have to straight to the main point why HTC does not include ear buds for the flagship. Actually,they said undecided were making us felt there were still hope including ear buds, but the truth it is not. As you can see HTC One X surely enter in production and will release in April 4-5, so do you think they are still undecided when the deadline is so close?
[HTC One X] robt772000:
Just out of curiosity. Does the beats enhancement work with any earbuds? i have some Shures.
[HTC One X] HydroSkillet:
Yes it's an equalizer for the most part.
[HTC One X] robt772000:
So in other words a well marketed scam. One than can be replicated with a decent EQ or music player from the Market, oops I mean 'Play"
[HTC One X] narcoustic:
As far as I am aware the beats audio "eq " only activates when beat headphones are connected. This can obviously been bypassed by rooting and using a custom rom but as standard /stock you can only use beats headphones. (unless they have changed things)
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
If they are not offering Beats headphones I don't think they won't do that ... If they did there will be lot of pissed of customers then.
[HTC One X] shaky156:
Lol beats audio isnt an "equaliser" please goto rezound development and look at chad.goodmans op (kernel developer), no custom ROM has beats unless its using the stock kernel provided by htc with beats audio.
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Seems to be lots of different information on this... I've read:

Beats is just a software EQ / Beats is a hardware EQ

Beats works with any headphones / Beats only works with beats headphones

Beats only works with Sense / Beats works on any ROM

See this post that was on front page of XDA:

[HTC One X] makaveli25:
surely it must be a software EQ.....

either way, your non-beats head/earphones should still work with the beats EQ on the one X as many videos and even HTC have said that

previously it only worked with beats earphones (there must have been some trigger only found with beats earphones somehow), but now on the htc one series, they've opened it up with one video saying "as long as you can have audio out, it will use the beats audio" (cant remember which exact video, youtube it....one of them there)
[HTC One X] shaky156:
Its not real, im surprised xda portal passed it through without looking into it, they should do some research before throwing things up, all that is fake, just like how "bravia engine on all devices" is fake too.

Currently beats only runs on beats earphones/headphones, and on devices supported by htc, beats runs on sense only, beats is hardware not software.

I did notice they said beats will work on everything or something like that but havent looked into it.
[HTC One X] Sarsippius:
Yeah it's been said officially many times that the beats eq on the one series will work with any headphones.

Anyway I personally would prefer that the phone didn't come with any beats headphones if their price are worked into the phones price in any way. Although on the flip side as mentioned you could flog them off to some sucker who thought they were any good.
[HTC One X] myself11:
Expansys.pt replied to a user question saying One X will come with Beats AudioTM.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Looks like DAP better start stocking up on some Beats buds.......can see some claims going in.:D
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
I asked my local DAP / CPW if the phone comes with a key to a brand spanking new Bentley and they did indeed confirm that it does. They'll say "Yes" to anything.
[HTC One X] rahularora1:
My UK Sim free from gum didn't come with beats just white head phones, not in ear
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Excellent. Cheers pal.;)
[HTC One X] thermalboyz:
Thanks for the twitter. I've check in store today (T-Mobile, Carphonewarehouse, 3, Vodafone and Phones4U) (Didn't check with Orange because there was a long queue), they all said HTC One X does come with Beats. Ordered mine on DAP Orange because that is the best deal i found.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Can anyone who has the handset comment on the DAC/SQ with decent IEMs. Not seen anything relating to it considering it's got beats audio!
[HTC One X] Johnny Rogue:
Not sure about Beats from CPW

Just found this on the Carphone Warehouse website. It's in the 'Overview' section for the One X

"If you want the best sound experience you'll want Beats Audio™. The advanced software and included flat-wired, non-tangle headphones give you authentic studio-quality sounds"

Nothing about Beats... just the standard earphones we're seeing on the unboxing vids unfortunately! :(
[HTC One X] sushigeezer:
I'm pretty sure that everyone shouting BEATS now and later there will be excuses that they meant BeatsAudio.... tangle free? the one's in some of the unboxing videos we've seen so far look like they have white bricks attached to that tangle free wire. not bothered about the headset. I'm getting worried about overheating of the handset.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
No

beats with dialaphone

[HTC One X] thermalboyz:
if no Beats then i assume the "Beats Audio" inside the phone will works with other Headphones too. Otherwise, there is not point to promote Beats but no Beats Earphones and Beats Audio wont wotks with other headphones. I am not fans of Beats but don't mind to receive it as a free gift tho.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Of course it will. The Beats Audio is surely just saved Equalizer settings, no?
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
seconded.

DAP have changed their mind.
[HTC One X] kholk:
Ordered it through Expansys (note that it is the official HTC retailer) and NO Beats Audio earphones. Just normal HTC ones.

[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
no more beats earphones FOREVER...

htc is putting a stop to giving out beats earphones in phone purchases...

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-abandoning-plans-to-bundle-phones-with-beats-headphones
[HTC One X] theliquid:
I got a beats audio headset with my One X. But this was limited to the first 1k orders from my provider ...
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
I got a pair free from Vodafone (First 10,000 Pre orders). They just look like a pair of HTC's standard headset cabling, jack and controls with a pair for Beats Drivers on the end. No tangle free cable.

I tested them out on a phone call and sound quality was atrocious, like there was too much rubbish bass washing out the conversation to the point i had to unplug the Beats just to understand what was being said by the other party.. The Standard HTC headset I had lying around sounded way clearer. If the music sound quality is the same with these Im giving em to my kids and will stick with my Shures.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Still makes me laugh how they somehow manage to package the beats in a bigger box than the phone itself. What on earth is inside it?!
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
The headphones come with an absolutely amazing box. The hidden magnetic latches are an very nice touch, and the weight and feel of it screams quality. I just cant seem to stop looking at the box! Where did I throw the headphones? They may have gone out with the rubbish...

:p
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
Posted in the other thread about phones4u miss-selling the HOX as listed with Beats headphones. I chased it up with them and are getting a set of iBeats from them to compensate:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24555911&postcount=1087

Thought I'd share.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Just a small note that iBeats earphones do not work fully with HTC phones. The only button that works is the middle one, which will either pause the current music track, or hang-up a call, or redial the last number. Volume, and track skipping does not work. The microphone does work.

The UrBeats earphones DO work for changing tracks.

Also although UrBeats earphones come in white and black, Vodafone I believe only had the black ones..I could be wrong.
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
I got the Red cabled ones with black drivers from Vodafone.
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
awww. its so great when misinformation and good retail service come together!
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
CPW did not, & will not honour the fact they promised I would get beats urbeats earphones.

I can either return the phone, or accept a 15 pound cheque as compensation.

Crap service!

I could have ordered with Vodafone & got the dsmn earphones, or ordered with phones4u & got the media link!

Even though they have it logged I was told I would get them, they won't get me them.

Even though I was told to get in touch if I didn't get them, they still won't get me them.

I can no longer get the urbeats or media link with my order from other companies, as they were for pre-orders only!

Liars, thiefs & general bad service - that's CPW for ya!

Edit: ordered some white urbeats from handtec for £37, (£22 once the compensation from CPW clears)

Its still £22 I shouldn't have had to spend to experience a true beats audio experience, when I was promised over & over that I would get them with the phone.
[HTC One X] wardy01:
so ive just opened my box again to check the headphones and inside where a nice set of

htc flat tangle free headphones, with buttons on the remote part. plugged them in and set the eq for beats and then activated the beats ur/i studio eq and they are imense, no issues at all,

i have never used headphones with a phone nor would i of used the beats if they come with the phone but it would of been a nice treat, but dam im happy with these,

i got a white x from dap on voda,

with media link

now another argument could be that sony xperia s should have come with a nice expesnive set of sony headphones as they ultilise bravia and sony have some good equipment .....

clearly htc knew that the phone would sell regardsless of beats and too many ppl got there hopes up, rest have been compensated. so ....
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
Received mine from phones4u and it came without beats headset. Not the end of the world as I have some sennheiser cx300 ii earphones but it still would have been nice to receive some
[HTC One X] ponts:
No headphones

bought mine sim free from handtec and no beats headphones.
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
the earphones that came with my hd2 works very fine.. it can pause, play, skip tracks and go to previous track with no problem..
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
My One X came with no beats, I thought I'd try blag some free ones from DAP, took 5 mins and I'm now getting a refund of £36 from them to cover the cost of a pair of urbeats, not bad IMO :D
[HTC One X] tattari:
The device does NOT come with beats earphones

however the Deluxe version comes with a beats headphones .. Solo
[HTC One X] 420kushking:
Yeah it definitely does not come with beats headphones. So I happened upon a pair of Beats by Dre chinese edition, they are most definitely knock offs. They sound and look very similar to the beats headphones, they even have the same model number and everything. They are comparable to the beats Solo HD (bluetooth wireless) .

I paired these to my Htc One X, expecting to get a rather mediocre sound experience, when actually the bluetooth paired right up to the One X, and to my surprise, when I play music the Beats Audio enhancement works over bluetooth. Id have to say thats a first for Beats Audio enhancement. It has never been capable of that in the past that I am aware of.

Yet another cool feature of the HTC One X ! :cool:
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
I just phoned Dialaphone and told them I was promised my order would come with beats headphones (I wasn't :p) and told them about their twitter messaging also saying they would and they're sending me a set in the next 3-5 days :D
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
a lot of companies are stating beats audio, but we all know that.

... but that does not mean beats ear buds.

Hopefully, we can get this confirmed.

If they keep promoting beats yet fail to supply beats ear buds, (especially when sensation received them), it would be very disappointing.

[HTC One X] :
So i guess the op title should be updated lol
[HTC One X] Beefheart:
Yes. Plus, depending on the age and model of your Shures, the dynamics are more than likely better anyway. Beats are for people who care more about image than quality. They're the latest fashion accessories, so to speak and ridiculously overpriced.

Still, they're certainly better than the crap that usually comes with smartphones so no one can complain about getting some for free.
[HTC One X] joshoon:
I heard in a review that the urBeats come with the HTC One X.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I don't think they know which model of beats to supply yet.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were keeping their eyes on the pre-order numbers to calculate which to include.
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Can you show us the link? We will appreciate it : )
[HTC One X] joshoon:
I was already trying to find it back, but no luck yet.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
They might supply beats headphones & not earphones....

We just don't know yet, it's annoying though - because it's released in just a few weeks, the information about which earphones / headphones should be available to people by now.
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
So HTC actually said:

".... And we are glad to inform you that HTC One X comes with Beats headset."?

Did any german speaking/understanding people have seen this video ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkwT8cSbcsA&feature=g-vrec&context=G2a9e179RVAAAAAAAABA

At the end i believe the HTC guy states that there won't be beats headset included in the retail package
[HTC One X] Droidyou:
Yep, the guy says that the headphones are not included.
[HTC One X] Anthropologic:
This is such a shame. I want Beats Audios Head-Phones, but they are very expensiv!

Yes, I'm a German.

And you're right, there won't be a beats headset included. Only a flat-cable headset.
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yes he says that..

But this guy says the opposite of what about 10 htc support people contacted by xda members..

Only time will tell what's true lol
[HTC One X] gordongartrell:
Maybe certain areas will get the beats earphones while others don't. When the Razr launched, some countries got the premium Motorola earphones, while other countries got cheapo earphones. Some areas got 8gb SD cards included, while others got 16gb SD cards included.
[HTC One X] Anthropologic:
Of course it could be so how you say it. I don't know. Others say that it won't include beats headset.
[HTC One X] d33f:
Though it's a good thing at least beats works with other headsets too, since i already got a decent pair of earbuds, but they are getting old so it would be nice to had them replaced by some beats once :)
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
that better not be the case for htc.. what motorola did was poor taste and reflected poorly on their company.. sure hope htc wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot with their flagship model of a brand new business direction.. doesnt make sense to make yourself look stupid by doing what motorola did.. either dun give beats to everyone or give it to everyone.. dun go all selective on market distributions of beats headsets, headphones or whatever accessories.. consistency of experience is the key, just like how McDonald is making profits everywhere.. it is their consistency in delivery of experience.. (not saying their food is healthy or exceptionally tasty..)
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Where you heard from? Well, I only know that beats audio only activated through

either beats speaker or beats headset.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
HTC announced that ANY output from the ONE X will make-use of the beats audio,

I honestly cant imagine HTC not supplying beats earphones/headphones with their flagship model at least.

The sensation recieved a pair with that model, so for them to not supply them with the ONE X - I find highly unlikely.
[HTC One X] joshoon:
Well, I hope the urBeats in-ears are included, coz I told a friend of me that he could get then when I have my One X xD

Because I already have Beats Tours and Beats Studio, so the urBeats will not be used at all.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
'at the very least' i expect urbeats.

urbeats can be bought brand new for <£30 - so there is no reason at all not to supply them with the phone.
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
HTC confirmed to me that HTC One X is including beats headset, but I have to ask whether it is special version or all version.

[HTC One X] makaveli25:
from the clove.co.uk web site:

Does the phone come with Beats Audio Headphones?

No. It comes with a standard set of in ear headphones.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
HTC UK support said it would come with beats headset - they just don't know the model yet... Or don't wish to tell me.

I really can't see HTC not supplying beats, as now beats is integrated into everything & the ONE X is their flagship model.

The older sensation even got beats, so i highly doubt htc would be 'that stupid' not to supply them.

Especially urBeats, as they can be bought under £30 retail, it would be extremely stupid to not least supply these....

.... However, I think it will come with a better model than the ones that came with sensation.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Good post really. HTC have been banging on about Beats for so long now, to not put them in their flagship model would be a travesty.

Having said that, the whole beats brand is such a gimmick anyway.
