Re HTC One Android Emphasis on Audio

I have been slow to embrace smartphones and have not purchased an iPhone, as I do not use my Mac or iPad very much. After signficant research, I am now in the midst of an HTC One smartphone trial on the ATT 4G network.

Bad news first to an audiophile, the device is branded with Beats Audio. The good news, however, is that a smartphone manufacturer is even thinking about sound and audio.

Unlike an iPhone, there are two front firing speakers on the front of the device (left and right) for stereo when watching a video.

Although I won't be listening to music on this thing (even with headphones) it is nicer to hear phone sounds, alarms, pings etc with higher fidelity.

Also, the build quality, seamless case and 1080 screen are all gorgeous. Has anyone also tried this phone?

Or are there any audiophile Droid users willing to discuss apps and/or how they use their device?

Cheers,
