Sure, they might cost a bit more than the other two I mentioned above, but how much is that hearing aid going to cost you in 10-20 years? It took all of 15 min by myself to install it. these a great flip flops. You have to put it together and drill it to the wall while it wobbling. The pictures are at the end of a 4 day trip. So far, perhaps due to Christmas mail situation, its been 2 weeks+. Dont get me wrong, the anti-gravity nature of it means I wont be letting the cats mess around by it, but its showing no signs of movement. I think the one downfall of these headphones is the size of the controls. I?m impressed with the comfort straight out of the box- firm and squishy in equal measure with a lightly ergonomic footbed. I had to play around in the EQ settings to get them to sound good to my ears.
