I hear ya, just throwing out an option only cuz,I also did 2 months of research cuz I wanted to get the most out of a dollar & the wasps definwtly fit the bill, build quality,ohms,soft leather cups,file volume that clicks wicked long cord stretched,lockin toggles, ect list goes on, throw up ur originals someone will buy em better then stock, I will say the wasps are also an upgrade over the originals but then again so are those golds, only thing I've heard bad was short cord on the golds
