How is it acceptable to not include headphones

[opec]

I'm not asking for beats audio headphones, but at least throw in a cheap pair with a microphone like every other phone. This is a flagship device, from a company that owns (at least part of) a premium headphone manufacturer...

yea i thought that was BS too.. my s3 came with a decent set of headphone but not the one X i gave to the wife...

They should throw in beats though the phone does come with beats audio so why even throw in a cheaper pair they should include the ibeats like the rezound

Well i have a skyrocket and it even came with a pretty good pair of headphones. I dont understand how AT&T and HTC can advertise about how great the audio on the device is, yet not include ibeats.

I was surprised initially not to get headphones with the phone, though i can't keep the little ones in my ears for more than 10 seconds at a time, so they're not much use to me anyway, i end up using ones with ear clips

This is just a fail on both AT&T and HTC but more on HTC if the one s doesn't have earphones either

Not to rub it in, but I got a pair of the urbeats ear buds for free when I got my one x. The store manager threw them in to make up for a bad interaction I had...they are freakin sweet!

Hell, if anyone even feigns intrest, we'll lower the price of the phone and include the buds for the $200 price tag.

I dont really care if I get headphones with a phone or not. 1: Most of the times the ones you get are , 2: I have a bluetooth headset I would rather use, and if I wanted to use headphones then I have my 100 US Skull Candies.

I would rather see a 10 or 50 bucks off the phone rather then including a set of headphones I would most likely throw in the bin anyway

Three months of free service, a polycarbonate carrying case, and a car dock should also be thrown in for free...

Ive not had a set of headphones with a phone since back in bb storm days. And this 2012 wired headphones suck BT are the way to go.

I wished they would have left the Beats Audio logo off the phone all together. This is the first phone I've bought in years that did not have headphones included. Even the cheaper phones I buy my mom come with headphones.

With my last 3 phones (GNex, Evo3D, BlackBerry Curve), I haven't even taken the included headphones out of the plastic. Bundled headphones are wasted on me. I want some quality headphones. (currently using sennheisers)

My international version of the One X came with headphones in the box.
Nothing fancy mind you.

Beats Audio almost makes them acceptable. Well, no, not really.

I never use them anyway so it does not make any difference to me. Even the Beats ones I got with the Rezound sit unused. I need real headphones or clipped ear buds. The others just fall out. This reminds me of my old Blackberry days when people got bent out of shape over not getting hands free kits or holsters with some models lol

Yeah It was a pleasant surprise when I looked in my S3 box and seen matching headphones thats very rare Nowadays.. And they are actually very decent Headphones at that.

I have the same problem, which has bugged me for years.
Drives me nuts while out jogging.

Finally got a pair of Yurbuds. They lock in fairly well. Never fall out.

Since they are not doing that they should have included headphones like the other high end smartphones. Maybe HTC does not consider the One series high end.

I agree, and I really don't see what's the big deal with Beats. From what little reading I've done on it, it simply provides isolated circuitry and deeper bass? Personally I want to hear all of the musical notes in song, a driving base beat that drowns out everything else does nothing for me.
