Did they have good noise blocking? Good battery? Good delay? Microphone? Good warranty? Reparaibility? There's so many reasons to spend a buck extra

They don't block noise. No battery, this is mid-'80s wired tech. There's a model with a very good microphone. Lifetime warranty. Repairable with super glue sometimes.
