Maybe because they are shiny and hard to pair? Eustace, could I have bought them from you? Anyway, I wear one all the time and the second one still has the tags attached. P.S. Is that an avatar from The House of Cards? That was a great movie.

Yup, shiny and a little glitzy to my eye. I don't believe you bought any from me.

Agreed - House of Cards is amazing.
