so who thinks that reason for the “shortage” is from jsut the high popularity, an expected relase of a larger capacity or diff model, or just the fact they know the sound distortion issue is major and theya re trying to fix it?
what you think

well before i started seing the sound issue i saw tons at compusa’s but over spring break i went to tons of stores just to try and show some friends them and one of them wnated one but they were all backordered
good luck finding one, but im not sure what to think of the shortage…..if you relase something liek this you should know they are gonna be popular…..but then again….there were those who were like “250 bucks!!!!! id pay only 50”. so who knows…i await to see the future
