Monster has scored the headphone deal that Beats rejected after Telstra chose the Monster DNA on ear model to give away with the all new top end HTC One M9 that will retail for $1099.
Customers who pre-order the HTC One M9 online from 18 March at 9am until 24 March 8:59am, you’ll receive the Monster DNA on-ear headphones valued at $229.
According to Ingram Micro executives Telstra initially approached the big distributor to get access to Beats headphones but this was rejected by Beats management.
Beats is now owned by Apple who did not want their headphone brand associated with a competitors phone said sources.
HTC’s latest flagship is compatible with 4GX and is a Cat-6 LTE device which means typical speeds range from 2Mbps – 100Mbps in 4GX areas. This means faster streaming, less buffering. More play, less pause claims Telstra.
Also from the first three months from launch, the HTC One M9 will be available at Telstra exclusively in Gunmetal Grey.
