I tried calling monster several times and costumer support has no clue whats going on or why are they on backorder for such a long time..... Best buy has them on backorder as well. Are they coming up with new model or something?? How can such a big company be out of inventory for such a long time..................

As to why they're so backordered -- who knows. Ask for the Miles Davis Trumpets in lieu of them. A couple people have done the same already.
