How to Get Beats Audio on Your Nexus 7 and Take Your Music to Another Level

Leave a comment

BEATS by Dr. Dre started making their studio-style headphones and speakers over four years ago, which help listeners actually “hear” music as it was intended by the artists, since normal everyday headphones and earbuds are known for producing lackluster results. But you can only go so far with Beats Audio headphones, since your computers and mobile devices weren’t built to take advantage of high quality audio equipment.

That’s one reason HTC decided to purchase a majority stake in Beats Audio, so they could compete better with other smartphone manufacturers by offering high-quality sound… more

Leave a comment

The HTC One is the Taiwanese smartphone maker’s answer to the iPhone 5, and perhaps the company’s worst kept secret. As previously rumored and revealed in leaked images, the device made its debut today at a press event in New York City, sporting a thin, minimalist design and a large 4.7-inch edge-to-edge 1080p display. It features aluminum casing with a rounded back and distinctive front-facing stereo speakers powered by Beats Audio.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 series processor from Qualcomm. In terms of optics, the HTC One comes equipped with a 8-megapixel ‘UltraPixel’ rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The One will also ship with HTC Zoe, which captures several seconds a video with every photo you take. The video is recorded in the background seamlessly.

Fiat 500 Cattiva Concept

Fiat brought out two new design concepts at the Detroit Auto Show, both intended to expand the appeal of its 500 Turbo and 500 Abarth models with upgraded and unique appointments inside and out.

First up is the Fiat 500 “Cattiva,” based on the 500 Turbo, painted with a vibrant Rame (Copper) exterior with contrasting Nero (Black) accents. The turbocharged 500 features gloss Nero headlamp buckets, parking lamp bezels, tail lamps and a roof-mounted spoiler. Special 16-inch alloys, painted satin dark gray, hint at the sport-tuned suspension inside each fender. The appointments are continued inside its cabin with leather sport seating, Matte Nero instrument panel and other trim upgrades. Lastly, the sound package is the segment-exclusive Beats Audio system.

The Fiat 500 “Tenebra,” based on the 500 Abarth, is painted in Matte Grigio (Gray) with Nero accents, just like its sibling. In addition to gloss Nero headlamp buckets, parking and tail lamps, it is fitted with 16-inch alloys with a Nero chrome finish. Setting itself apart, the signature Abarth bodyside stripes (and mirror cap) are Grigio in color and there is a large Abarth “Scorpion” logo on the roof. Inside the cabin, the Tenebra features performance seats with leather upholstery, a flat-bottom steering wheel and other cosmetic upgrades. Like the Cattiva, the Beats Audio system is standard.

Check out live galleries of both the Cattiva and Tenebra models, and then read the full press release after the jump.
