I have another ones, angled, for like $59 or $69 in like 2007. Felt like they were very overpriced and didn't sound better than cheap ones. I might try them again if I find a missing tip somewhere (unless it was eaten by a vacuum :P). Their cable was deteriorating the sound though, it was detachable for splitter mounted 3.5mm so I tried using it as an extender for Sennheiser earphones and found that out, but I guess this also mean I can just use another one.
