Does this have the Beats audio like some of the Droid phones by chance? How are the speakers overall?
Thanks

No Beats, but Beats is junk..
This. Beats is awful and anyone that knows audio will tell you that. Stop buying into the name...
Monster itself makes fairly decent stuff, but beats are just all bass, no mids or highs. People buy them to look cool. I'm in college now, and they sell them in the bookstore (the actual headphones, not the earbuds) and you can defer them against financial aid, and 99% of people on campus have them, and I just laugh at them all. lol
I'm no audiophile and have long passed the age where I have to concern myself with looking cool. I enjoy my beats and have no problem saying I like them because of the base.
Beats may be overpriced. So are a lot of things we choose to spend our money on. I bought them because I wanted them. I wasn't out bargaining shipping or trying to save a dollar. Not sure why people like slamming others when THEY don't like a particular product or brand.
Yep, if people want to buy Beats and enjoy how they sound more power to them. I've no problem with that. Suits me fine, lets me sit on the bus with my $1400 headphones secure in the knowledge that a thief will go for the guy wearing beats
I wonder though how many would go for Beats if they'd heard the awesome kind of bass you get out of stuff like the HiFiMan HE-400 (@$400)?
LOL!!! I don't ride the bus.
Yeah, maybe put the $1400 towards a car and some Beats....a Beater and some Beats!

Yeah, I never understood this obsession with bashing Beats headphones. It seems like most of the time, people bash because of the price.
I have a pair (of the big ones) and I like them. I am not ashamed of that.
Whether something sounds good or not is up to the listener of the music, not so-called and self-proclaimed "audiophiles" - whatever that is.
Yes, generally bashed for the fact they are well overpriced for the sound quality they offer (which suits some people fine as you say).
Fact? No. Opinion? Yes. Professional opinion? Sure, why not. LOL
Quality is subjective.
No, sound quality is quite measurable in fact, and compared to many other headphones in their respective price brackets Beats headphones perform fairly miserably.
Taste in sound is subjective, and Beats runs to some peoples tastes, but that isn't the same thing.

People buy Beats for image alone, the end. Sorry if I have offended anyone - it was not my intention, was just trying to give advice and steer people away from buying extremely overpriced stuff.
I'm not offended by a stranger's opinion on the internet.
But what you said is not true...especially for this buyer. I'm a 38-year old mother and wife. I can give a hoot about image. I leave that for the young people.
I buy what's good to my ears. If I want to pay a premium, that's my choice because my enjoyment is priceless...so to speak.
But say that I wanted to buy for image. And what?
ETA: Pardon me if I said too much on this. I just can't stand when someone belittles or is judgmental about another adult's purchases.
