    Well they do say it's an "audio profile" right on the HP site, not different software.

    You would kind of be silly to think Dr. Dre had anything to do with it.... I mean unless he's called a Dr. because he has a PHD in computer sciences, from what I've heard his degree is in optometry, which doesn't have anything to do with computers or sound quality.

    They don't update the commercial sites anymore and don't look at the Beats Edition, I'm talking about every envy.
    It's said on the information page at the shopping site

    The software is definitely IDT with theme. The speaker itself is beats branded because there's a logo printed on side.

    If you have paid Dr. Dre to put that logo on. It's just a name.

    Dr. Dre personally assembles each unit, and then tests it out by making mad beats with it.

    LOL @ secretasianman

    The speakers are the same, it's been tested before by reviewers. You just get the really cool color scheme, the headphones, and some extra djing software

    The software might be IDT, but the speaker could be from Dr Dre. eheh

    The spec said

    Audio Beats internal stereo speakers

    like the headset, made by MOnster with "Beat" TM on it
