Thanks for the replies.  Monster should disclose the recipients in this thread.

Well so far we know that the reviewers are stoneyboys, rawster, mesasone, dosley01, and me, so so far 5 have come out. I don't think they should be obligated to reveal them though. I asked who the others were and they didn't respond.
 
And shame about the wait, but hey we're picked out of the 100+ people that signed up, so we better be patient.

They absolutely should be obligated to do so for at least the following reasons: 1) It's the right thing to do; 2) it confirms that the are actually doing what they say they are doing; and 3) if people don't do the right thing and disclose how they received them in the body of their review, then at least such a list would exist to help others make a more informed decision.

We're out there. I know a couple people who got them for the first round (me included) are popping up here and there and posting the reviews, including in this thread.
 
EDIT: I lie, turns out I never posted my review here. In any case, here it is: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/492305/monster-turbine-pro-copper-review

I think either Monster should release a list or those chosen should reveal themselves eventually. I don't think it matters when as long as it is very clear where they got it from in their review.

I came out earlier on in the thread as well and I just hope my feeble descriptive skills don't ruin the review that I'll post.

Your review will be just fine.  The more impressions the better.

I do agree that Monster should disclose the recipients, but AFAIK there is no rule that says they have to.  Perhaps there should be.
 
Thanks for the update on the shipping.  I'm certainly fine with waiting a while for these to arrive, it's just nice to have a rough idea of when they might turn up.

 

[rawrster]

I remember The Monkey posting some link to something that mentioned otherwise but I don't really remember it. Either way i would be all for it if Monster releases the names of those who got free stuff for reviewing purposes. It also helps to prevent such things like selling review gear here.

Well mine have made it over the pond, before everyone else in the US, which is surprising.  Now for a few days of burn in.
 
Cheers SoundMatters12.

Thanks!

Just got my pair today, haven't taken them out of the box yet though.

 

[rawrster]

I thought they weren't being shipped until Monday for the rest of us? Well hopefully I get mine sometime next week.
 
edit: If Monster is consistent then probably fedex shipping.

 

[stonyboys]

I guess if you don't get it by tomorrow, then yours will be shipping on Monday.
 
dcpoor, mind telling us what kind of shipping method was used?

 

[Big Kev]

Mine were sent by FedEx
