I bought these to replace a pair I bought overseas about 15 years ago. One flew out of my ear during a windstorm a few years back and I've been longing for a replacement pair ever since. These showed up and looked eerily similar, so I justified the price tag and purchased them.  These are a bit smaller than the original pair I had, but that's not a bad thing. I think they're more elegant because of it. The quality is good and the design is very unique. I'm so glad I found these miniature substitutes for my nearly identical pair. They are pricey, so I docked them a star, but for me the sentimental value made it worth the purchase.
