In a move that is going to surprise approximately no one who knows anything about selling smartphones, HTC has indicated to CNET that it no longer plans to bundle Beats headphones with its handsets.
The reasoning should be pretty obvious - people aren't going to buy a smartphone on the basis that it comes with a pair of decent headphones. Headphones are a separate market, and if you care about them at all, you're going to buy them separate of any other hardware. The fact that Monster is no longer Beats' manufacturing partner is probably linked to this "decision," as well (HTC owns a 51% stake in Beats, and Monster and Beats have now parted ways).
