Monster to team up with Spotify

Speaking to The Times, Monster CEO Noel Lee revealed that he is talking to Spotify about ways the two firms could co-promote their respective brands.

Whether this would involve Monster headphones with Spotify branding, Spotify subscriptions bundled with Monster headphones or even Spotify Connect built into the headphones, remains unclear.

Lee was in London last week to launch Monster's StreamCast wireless multiroom speaker system in the UK. It will go on sale in September and will include Spotify Connect.

Since then Apple has booted Monster out of its 'Made for iPhone' programme.
