Good news for Motorola Photon 4G owners! They can now tell their Beats Audio enabled HTC phone owning friends that they have the Beats tech on their Photon 4G as well. That’s right, you can get the Beats Audio enhancements on your Photon 4G using this simple little mod and improve your audio-listening experience.

However, do note that to be able to notice any difference with this mod, you need high-end headphones. Normal headphones won’t sound any different with the mod, so it might not be useful for everyone.
