So what type of headphones are needed to get value from the processing in this phone? Do simple earbuds sound any different or do you need special headphones? Also, how would this impact Bluetooth stereo headphones?
Reviews of the HTC 10 say they include premium earbubs with the phone that work with the upgraded boomsound.

I also learned that they are quite good for included free earbuds (way above the competition). But I guess they may not superseed my EUR 200+ audiophile earbuds. I am highly anticipating how these will sound with the HTC 10.

So what type of earphones do you need to actually make the audio improvements worthwhile? Any difference on bluetooth?

That article specifically said that the unlocked version won't ship with the ear buds so it's possible the carrier versions will come with them. It would be a huge mistake if they don't imo.

Just a pair good enough to have a positive reaction to EQ (ie. a pair that won't bloat with a little added bass or have harsh highs). I'm very interested in that headphone software to get the best out of my headphones. Especially since they placed emphasis on left and right channel within the app. I'm expecting it to EQ left and right to sound equal even if your ears don't hear equally.
Bluetooth headphones would bypass the DAC and would only receive the benefit of the EQ. Not the full benefit but a benefit nonetheless.
I read that there will be headphones that will plug into the type-c input as well. I dont think from HTC but after market.

True. I'm one of the people who got pissed with the confusing advertising they have with the HTC 10. It's not just the earphones, the payment option that they're saying "preorder now 12 months no patients mo interest financing. And then when you checkout, PayPal Credit option's nowhere to be found. HTC support emailed me that the PP Credit option at checkout would be available after the preorder period. Lol. I'd would hit HTC in the back of the head it was a person.

This is what I found. So far HTC hasn't cleared the air.
Some regions will get headphones. So far I heard for the USA carriers will not, but the unlocked one will. Some news siteso got the same answer, and some got different ones.

Hello again Everyone...
You might remember me from when I got a pre-release Galaxy S II and made some (admittedly terrible (sorry)) videos about it and answered as many questions as I could for you.
Well... now I have a Galaxy Nexus (which will definitely be launched on Thursday).
I'm suffering from jetlag and will probably be asleep soon - but I will do my best to answer any and all of your questions (forgive me if this turns out to be tomorrow morning).
Ask away and I'll get back to everyone if there's any interest!
Cheers,
Dom

Do you have the final version?
Please test and tell us about the battery life.
Thanks
I've seen a few comments on these but I would like to know what your opinion the screen brightness/visibility in sunlight, battery life (a more documented response would be great instead of all the vague "heavy use" battery reviews) and camera quality. I'm not hugely dependent on camera but my Droid Incredible really bothers me because the camera is very finicky in quality and performance. I know the GN is supposed to be almost instant picture capture but how does it handle moving objects (for example 90% of my pictures are fast moving pets/animals)?
I'll probably think of more questions later but I am trying to decide what to upgrade too since my D.Inc is probably not going to live much longer (R.I.P to my first Android phone).

HTC's announcement for their newest phone is today (in a couple minutes, really). A video was posted as a preview, which you can watch here, but it isn't in English. It's a pretty good looking phone with some decent specs but overall I think HTC just makes some weird decisions. Calling this device the HTC One after they've already released HTC One X/S/V etc. Seems backwards to me.
Anybody possibly going to be moving to this phone after the Inc 2, or for those of you on newer phones like the DNA/Inc 4g will you be jumping ship this early? My upgrade is in July so I'll probably give it a shot but ultimately I think I will end up with the Galaxy S IV (a sure-fire for development down the road, and for straight spec-power) or potentially the rumored Motorola X.
Specs Quick Reference:
4.7" Full HD screen
Snapdragon 600 processor (Quad-Core)
2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage
2,300 mAh battery
4.1.2 Jelly Bean
My next phone will haveto have on screen keys. I was thinking the HTC One but now I'm just hoping the X-phone is real. I fear it'll probably have an amoled display though(not really a fan). I could get past it if everything else was in order.
Hi guys, I just found the HTC One section on xda
Its not linked on the portal yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115
No way I would buy another HTC phone. Hoping the Motorola X is real. And that it won't be locked when it comes out. Weary of anything Verizon really. Coverage may force me to stay with them though.

I'm just gonna wait till a phone with the Snapdragon 800 is announced. Until then, I think I'll wait. My GS3 is good enough at the moment and the Xperia Z is perfect.

HTC one has a built in amp. Personally, I think the headphone output is great and the best I've had on a phone. The gnote2 with Wolfson was excellent but slightly quoted than I would've preferred with headphones. All the mods people say to try did not fix it on the gnote2 as it added distortion or artifacts or even worse and that is why I quit using them. It is best to get a headphone amp. They can be had pretty cheap or check out JDS labs and the O2 and c5 amps. A little more pricey but probably cheapest audiophile quality amp for the price.

Except Jeff Gordon at HTC already made statements saying US Unlocked versions will not include "hi-res" earphones.
That being said they could include a lower quality set but it's clear, at this time HTC is saying "no".

US gets shafted on headphones. A lot of phones ship with them except the US model.
With the big deal HTC is making about their headphone sound, you'd think they'd send a pair with every device. I only own a cheap pair I barely use as I stick to Bluetooth.
When I pre-ordered, the spec sheet included them, so in my opinion they should be part of the package.
I still remember getting Beats ear buds when I bought my Rezound ages ago. Now those were nice!

I already confirmed HTC is not providing "hi-res" earphones in my previous post a few up from this.
The formal HTC Tweet was validated by Jeff Gordon.
https://twitter.com/HTCUSA/status/720763547349839873
Generally unlocked phones purchased from HTC direct do not come with earphones. Check the A9 threads, they also did not include earbuds in the "unlocked" version. A carrier version may be different but unlocked, purchased directly from HTC does not include "hi-res" earphones.
I don't understand how they could pull that honest that was actually a selling point for me
I will be reluctantly cancelling my order. Probably buy one when they are cheaper.

Take it for what it's worth but if I were you I wouldn't cancel just yet.
Wait for a bit and if it looks like shipping is delayed they'll issue accessory credits and you can buy them at no cost.
Alternatively if you used the $100 discount code you can buy a lot of headphone for 100 bucks with the money saved. If purchased at full price that's different but discounted we shouldn't really complain.
To me this phone was perfect at $599 including headphones. I want the HTC branded ones. No aftermarket.
But yeah. Ill think it over. $599 is still not a bad deal...

Agreed. It was listed out, with no exclusions listed. I'll probably call them up and harass them until they send a set. I don't even really use headphones. Its just the principle.

Thats kind of how I feel about it. Its not a big deal, however its the principle.
Every other OEM has some included. For the price we are paying there should be no exception.
