If this phone uses the Monster Beats powered by Dre Powerbeats then those headsets are brilliant!
Edit: on closer inspection, they are not Powerbeats but I'm sure those will sound good also. Let's not forget that the phone's hardware will need to complement the headset.

@julias & bonovox,
Wow. I'm surprised that you're both so critical. First, calling him an idiot is really out-of-line. Although he was horrible at rapping when with NWA (actually his rhymes where a JOKE except for "Express Yourself"; which was a huge hit), he went on (after 1989) to be a PLATINUM solo-artist ... a producer! Every DJ, Movie Actor, and well low end writer dreams of becoming a Producer in their field, its a natural progression. Of NWA, only ICE Cube is more succesful, but I debate that ... ICE Cube eventually evolved to movies and producing them. I doubt you'd call him a foul-mouth idiot that promotes voilence.
Promoting Voilence; look to your own government, or mine and the armament at hand ... how quickly the environment that youth grow up in poor USA ghetto's or with the local variety store having liquor available ... and believe me voilence is the least of your worries.
If you look at professional actors, I'd say based on 2 movies that Jeremy Irons (voice of Scar in The Lion King) is a pedo, but that is NOT who HE IS. Plain and simple, don't judge a person on the character they portray as part of a film or stage persona. Voilence and cursing is what youth have ALWAYS done for decades, sure the type of cursing has changed but ever since Rock N' Roll (Chuck Berry criticised for voilence destroying a guitar, or Jimi Hendrix for currupting young minds, or Sammy Davis Jr for insulting the Jewish religion) youth have always rebelled, language and taste of music has ALWAYS been at the forfront. Smart artists tap into this - regardless of the genre to appeal to their target audience. KRS-ONE promoted voilence in his early career, he evolved his rap & life and changed to educate - yes he still rhymes of the voilence but its critical to educate as well.
Beats is a brand that outsell's Bang & Olfsen .. probably close to BOSE. HTC's partnership is a SMART play, ... the fact that control headset VERY similar to iPhones Control Talk is an even smarter play ... their targeting the right audience; BRAVO! I'm older than 30 and this type of marketing appeals to me - i don't promote voilence, I do curse but not like a yardi yute.
Fact is this will sell quite well to its target audience and its another way for HTC to boost their brand and continue to win in the worldwide market.
Remember: The American Dream is to be super successful regardless of how you get there. Sad but true. Companies, especially with all this patent warring is no different.
What has our Governement got to do with Dr.Dre & this phone??
For goodness sake I said I just don't like the guy he makes rubbish music & he has a foul attitude. I could not give a stuff if he has sold or won whatever awards. Do I have to like him?? No
Back on topic please

I only referenced Government for the application of violence and how it affects youth - plain and simple. You didn't have to quote my entire post to wonder why I mentioned a government - I'm Canadian not a USA citizen btw so its not "my" government. You quoted but either skimmed to quickly or it was out of context in understanding or my post confused; apologies. It's not cool to go off topic yourself, just to tell someone else replying to go back on topic; we both deviated.
I think the Beats partnership is a smart one, not just for marketing but also for better sound quality - especially the headphones with remote control. Those controls are VERY similar to the Control-Talk licensed by Apple to many other partners and this type of easy control on the XE's will benefit many target markets (users). Sound will be judged heavily by reviewers and also by users - just as much as those W800's did way back in the day.
PS: BASS is making huge comeback in R&B (think funk/disco of the 70's), Hip-Hop & House (always been there), and even in Rock N Roll (no matter the popular genre name its called today - think Zepplin's sample in "She's Crafty" by Beastie Boys right at he very first bar of that track ... the guitar riff; very bassy with the drums). These XE's with included headsets is a conscious partnership that i hope creates great competition ... I could always use quality sound in my smartphone - either in headphones or in the outport (or via BT connection). We're already starting to see quality speakers used in tablets with not so tiny bass response (still very light but getting better than iPad).

Doesn't look bad that ^^ Laffen
it was already posted by hans in the HTC Sensation thread last week !
also it did annoy me in somewhat way but according to another ref the Sensation (1)
can be rooted so it goes to 1.7GHZ, theres also another battery out already for it which is
better then the stock one and for sound wise it sounds pretty good already but i do not use my
Phone as a music source my iPod is for that degree
Dr Dre M&M's pet looks like he is aiming this phone at kids i doubt it will off put those youths
from the blackberry(s) though especially since the phone is £520.99 in the Box

Yes, it was posted in the HTC Sensation thread a couple of hours after I wrote this article.

I knew there was a " sensation" thread. only later I noticed this specific one.
It's a good move by HTC. I hope more brands bring out dedicated music phones, or at least decent headsets.
And I still like the black/red colour scheme
