I believe I got these for $159 or $179. I rarely mention cost due to price variations either by demographic or retail vs online, sales, etc. that should be in the ball park of what you would find them for. I’m sure you will enjoy a pair. I’m seeing more and more each month.
Oh man, that sucks. Luckily I’m on year 3 of mine and use them daily. For me, it’s the “nothing in my ear” part that I like. Sure the quality isn’t as good as in ear or over the ear but for me, it’s a good fit. Best of luck on what you move forward with.
