I could easily have paid double or triple the price (I paid roughly $16) and still been happy with the quality at that cost. Ive had a pair of Birkies for three years, worn outdoors in the summer and indoors all year round and have found them extremely comfortable (the footbed moulds to the shape of your foot) and warm in winter - in fact warmer than fur lined slippers! I play a lot of beat saber on my oculus and these headphones work great! After many years of use, one side stopped working, and after checking lots of options to see if there was anything new out there worth trying, I was very happy to repurchase these. Theyre super snug to fit, comfortable, and very easy to install. I put my 45s on the bottom 2 pegs, my 10s and 25s on the top 2 and my 5s and 2. I added the comparison at the end if you are interested. They fit nicely and I am happy with them but they are going to live on the deck tonight. I like to listen to instrumental music while I study for long hours, so its crucial that earbuds dont hurt my ears. Its a known software issue.
