These are beautiful.  I've gotten many compliments and people asking me if they are vintage.  I got the clip-ons and they're reasonably comfortable and come with a second set of pads if you happen to lose one.  I've worn them for concert performances and didn't feel the need to put them on at the last minute and rip them off the second I left the stage, as I had with some others.  They're a lot of splash for the cash!
