Sprint and HTC have partnered to announce the One (M8) Harman Kardon Edition, a special edition of HTC One M8 exclusively for Sprint that includes a pair of Harman AE-S earbuds and special audio enhancements. This also comes in a new color that has gold finish on the front and black on the back with harmon kardon branding.
New audio enhancements in the HTC One (M8) Harman Kardon edition includes,
- A revolutionary application — HARMAN’s Clari-Fi — that restores and “rebuilds” music fidelity lost during audio compression. The first time in a mobile device, Clari-Fi yields richer, deeper and clearer sound quality for compressed digital music (like MP3 downloads or streaming services like Spotify).
- Lossless HD Audio music reproduction via a 24bit/192kHz DAC that delivers roughly six times the information of compact disc music and 60 times the information of an MP3 or streaming music source when playing high-res digital (FLAC) downloads from sources like HDtracks.com.
All the other features are similar to the original HTC One (M8). The HTC One (M8) Harman Kardon edition would be available from Sprint online starting may with zero down payment under 24-month contract at $28.34 per month. It is to be noted that the phone comes bundled with Harman Kardon AE-S headphones priced at $149.
