I jumped the gun and got my Nexus 7 early. Due to my impatience, I'm left with the limited space my N7 has left. I use Skifta/Doubletwist/iMediashare to listen to my fairly large music collection on my PC and Droid 3, but nothing I can find supports Beats Audio like Google Music.

Is there a way, without using my external SD reader and OTG to listen to my music via WiFi/Bluetooth and still keep the great sound of Beats Audio?

Not be one of those guys, but beats audio is just an eq setting chosen by dre and co that boosts bass scoops some mids and brightens up top.
Dre doesnt know what headphones you use or speaker system you use or the acoustics of the room you're in, so he doesn't know if it is an improvement or not.

Keep eq flatish or EQ until YOU like it on your playback system.

The whole thing is bit of a con, as a studio engineer producer myself it annoys the hell out me!

If u like it that what matters but you can do without it, is my point.


Edit . also Dr dre is in his 40's and a lifelong live performer and producer so his ears are knackered, mainly in the sense that he hears things duller than reality for youngsters. I wouldnt want him setting the eq on my playback. Now he can hear when a tune works of course but 16khz, prob not.:)

Ditto... my kids keep wanting me to get them the beats headphones and I just laugh and hand them my Sennheisers from the studio and tell them to put some real ones on. :)

I wouldn't spend money on the headphones, I have a set of my own that are just as nice without the price tag. I just like the Awesome Beats EQ. Its pretty simple and it definitely sounds better than the original DSP Manager.
