I was under the impression that these were available at CES back in 2011/2012 and monster had produced a limited quantity. I've had these for almost two years. They look cool so I don't really care, but was hoping to sell them at some point as a collectors item. But with all these counterfeit it's hard to prove they could be a portion of the limited edition run. If you could help identify them that would be cool. I know they were never officially released due to quality issues.
