But does this mean my new HTC will be a pothead? Will Snoop or Slim Shady make a guest appearance on my phone? 🤣

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly this is all about. HTC smartphones have a 3.5mm headphone jack anybody can buy a pair of Beats headphones and use them with any smartphone that has a 3.5mm headset jack.

Ill try not to be rude, but obviously you can plug beats headphones into ANY headset jack 🤣 , they are going to use beats technology in the speakers to improve the quality... they already do this with HP computers and Chrysler cars.

this is just speculation at this point but i'm sure this will allow HTC phones to use audio drivers (or amp) written / produced by Beats to improve the sound quality ..

i would assume this would work the same way that Voodoo Sound does for Android phones...

which begs the question, why not just hire SuperCurio?
