They are pricier than other brands simply because they are designed to

out to rip you off!-)

I agreeing with all you say, and have had a pair for 20 years or
so.

However, whilst looking on a market stall for a cheap pair for
somebody who would only be using them occasionally, I found an
unbranded copy at GBP2. I know that their quality is probably
suspect, but if they last a couple of years, the overall cost
would be much the same.
