Smart phones are getting bigger and bigger... Next we will hear about trouser companies suing Apple and HTC..

I agree, the HP touchpads also have Beats audio and they don't sound any different than the speakers in ipads.

If you attach by HMDI to a good home theatre system then the audio really does matter
However, the sound chip is pretty much irrelevent if you have crappy 128kps MP3s, you need really good quality FLAC files otherwise good sound chips are pointless
It all about the eco-system dudes...

This whole "Beats" thing seems like a gimmick.

This is the phone that will make my Thunderbolt feel obsolete

It definitely is. At that size and form factor, even a good system is still just a tiny, crappy little speaker. You can't possibly expect amazing sound from a system that barely beats out a Tiger handheld..

How ugly can a phone get? HTC ugly.

Apparently none of you have tried hooking up external speakers to a device with Beats audio...

The "Beats Audio" is currently king of phone and tablet devices.

I just plug my AKG's into my phone and call it a day.

Isn't phone sound pretty much dictated by the quality of the supplied headphones (i usually buy 3rd party), the standard being pretty poor; unless its apple, in which case it's a piss poor tinny mess with no bass at all.

It's not about actually getting that sound, it's showing off the brand for your homeys.

All they are gonna do is add a second speaker or some gimmik alog those lines. If it improves over the loudness of my droid x in therms of heaing people on the phone and the speakerphone they can call it hear me now audio and I will be happy.

Give it FLAC, OGG and WAV support and it may be worthwhile, otherwise your great audio chip will be pointless playing crappy MP3s.

Take that phone and supply audio to a modest $10k sound system or even a good home stereo or a good car stereo system and you will immediately hear the difference. If you can't then you have hearing problems and should not care anyways.
