    They look really cool. Does anybody know how old these are? They look kind of heavy. Are they comfortable?

    If GWH would provide a model number, perhaps we could provide a history.

    They are very cool, but willing to bet they sound like listening to music through my shoe.

    The cool factor is high, but most folks won't get it. Nice grab, not everything has to get chicks to show you their ......

    Yeah to a trained ear they probably do. :)

    I'll put them on and stroll through Wal-Mart and see if I can turn any headlights on...Report back later. :D
