I picked up an HTC Sensation XL yesterday, mainly because it was targeted at audiophiles, something Apple are the poorest at, and Microsoft are yet to pick the importance of. If you walk down the high street, pretty much everyone is wearing ear/headphones. On itunes you cannot get music that is higher than 256kbs, illustrating the deafness of the typical iWorshiper.
Anyway, the phone comes with beats audio, and a pair of cool headphones branded as Beats by Dr Dre. What remains to be said, is that I will be going to sell them today. They retail for £170 (not bad for a phone freebie) but sound no better than a pair of £15 senhinser's. One cannot criticise their looks, as they are on every trendy teenagers Christmas wish list, but they are absolutely dreadful at playing music. I have two other DJ grade headphones that I have used to compare one that cost £120 and the other £40, both have a far wider frequency range.
