Basically.
The weirdest thing though is that control talk isn't fully supported for HTC phones. So the only feature that works on the headphones is the pause feature. No volume control, and I don't believe the mic works as well. I happen to have an old pair of Diddy Beats that I've used with the 1X. The headphones work perfectly with the IPhone, but ironically are nerfed on the phone promoting beats.
I was pretty upset by this. The Beats, klipsch and Bose wouldn't work...until I was turned on to this. It allows you to use the middle button to do everything you want (forward, back, pause, volume up/down).

Monster didn't brand the phone or service....that was Beats the company, and HTC. They will play sound just fine, but the controls on the cable won't work the way you expect them to.
Beats makes a set of in-ears made specifically for HTC devices. AT&T sells them. I believe they are called UR Beats or something like that. The controls DO work with HTC devices... Bad news is that they do not work with anything else.
