I have some - they work reliably, scrunchies don't, end of story for me.

As far as I'm concerned, at £6.66 each they are a huge bargain relative to their usefulness, especially against lots of other 'talent enhancers, lol.

In fact they account for about 0.2% of the value of the bass my ones are currently siting on & they certainly contribute significantly more than that

As it happens I spoke to the manufacturer recently in the USA. They've been desperate to get prices down by outsourcing overseas but every set that comes back has flaws and simply doesn't work properly (either immediately or after a little use) - at which point they just turn into an expensive scrunchie.

Apparently they've tried lots of potential suppliers but no-one has been able to replicate the local USA manufactured items properly
