***Before you buy, a couple of things to bear in mind:
1. EGlobal shipping costs vary, and can be quite high (but in this case, the savings should still make shipping this product worthwhile)
2. EGlobal will probably contact you either via email or telephone after your order is placed, asking you to either make contact or to send through documentation to verify your identify (see here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122462). It's a bit painful, but they will generally be placated if they can speak to you via telephone (I refused to send through my proof of identify when asked, and a phone call sufficed).
do these have replaceable wires?
