Where did you buy them from locally?

They are a rip off!!!!
I started buying them from ebay a couple of years ago cause they were just getting too dear (at 4/5$ a pair), just checked in coles tonight- $8.23 for 2.... What a total rip off

So- Anyone got a good source for these? Ever seen rechargables?


If I wanted to know anything about this sort of thing I'd pop into Leading Edge in Devonport and ask the Ginger Ninja. He really knows his stuff that lad! :)

Look here

But if you really want to pay $9.00 a pair, send me a cheque. I'll even throw in a third one for free. :D

I was paying more attention to the price. Looks like Aussie's get ripped off (again). And now for the "how long is a piece of string" question - just what is "normal" usage, and how long should they last under normal usage?
