Sony MDR-EX81SLB

Advantages: Good, cheap, simple.
Disadvantages: Can get lost or stolen.

...The reason I am writing this review, is that I recently had a problem with my good old TomTom, and thought that perhaps it may have to go to the electronic graveyard in the sky (but how would it find it's way there?)
