Yamaha CM500 headset at B&H for <$40

I bought a set of these last year, and thought I might get another pair, but they were out of stock, and most other retailers were/are charging $20 more, so I thought it may be beneficial to let my fellow elecrafters know....

Re: Yamaha CM500 headset at B&H for <$40

For some additional info, I placed an order with B&H for these headsets on
December 4 and they are still on backorder.

Don't hold your breath waiting the 12 to 14 days they say it should take.

Re: Yamaha CM500 headset at B&H for <$40

I ordered one on 12/4. On 1/4 I emailed asking about the status. On 1/5
I received this:
*"Please be advised that we are expecting in the "YAMAHA CM500 HEADSET
w/BUILT-IN MICROPHONE" you have on backorder in about 3-5 days."
*
As of this morning(1/11), my order is still listed as "On backorder."

I am very glad I decided to pay a little extra and ordered mine through Amazon in mid-December. Had it by Christmas!

note: B&H is reputable and they will ship once they receive the stock.

I have dealt with them for years in photo equipment and this is not
uncommon for them to offer a low price and take a while to deliver on it.

I too have done biz with B&H and found them to be a good vendor, and
they are rated highly by a Consumer Reports survey. BUT:

I worked in sales of pro audio for quite a few years. Given that other
retailers have the product in stock and B&H doesn't, I suspect some sort
of problem between Yamaha and B&H. That can happen when a retailer
violates some element of the agreement between retailer and mfr.
