Just boxed them back up recently Jeep, should be able to get my mitts on
them without much hassle. I'll yank one of the remaining sealed units and
check what's on the foil.

IIRC, the cups on these are fine - no signs of defects. No idea on the
screws, the pin plugs I recall are crimped on and not soldered. They
appeared to be excellent quality, just miserably tight. Someone sent a
private note letting me know that they work better when worn forward on the
temples, though still tight. That makes sense as I recall using cans that
way in the past to keep up with multiple conversations, but these things
are just over the top. The metal wire used for the headbands is quite stout
as well and doesn't bend worth a damn.

But the price was too good to turn down!
