One of the selling points of HP's Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop has been the Monster Beats Solo headphones you saw Dr. Dre sporting in the television advert. Due to "supply constraints," HP is no longer bundling the cans, Engadget reports.
As for pricing, HP has gone and knocked $100 off the Envy 14 Beats Edition, lowing the starting configuration from $1,250 to $1,150. It's worth mentioning that you can get the Beats audio experience from the regular Envy priced at $1,000 to start, albeit with a Core i3 370M processor instead of a Core i5 460M.
HP's Beats audio technology essentially entails a beefed up EQ, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), the inclusion of an amp, and a board layout intended to provider cleaner audio output.

I saw that on the HP site the headphones we labeled as "optional"
But Amazon has them still with the Headphones still so I ordered mine from there instead.
Love it so far!

Wow, if you are really serious about audio, you dont buy a laptop with the intention of using it for that kind of thing.

True, but if you like good sound audio, and you're going to be toting around a laptop anyway. Why not one that will allow music to sound good.
