I see that my original message has gone on a slight tangent...
My point was that if you use and like the black foams (in which case you have obviously already paid for them) then you may like to purchase another pack just incase other retailers increase their prices in line with the Shure increase.
There is not much point stating that even $15/5 pairs is expensive and that Shure is making lots of $$$ because at the end of the day, each pair will last you about 6 months which is about 5 months more than the other foams available on the market - which are roughly the same price - so the black foams are actually approx 500% better value for money, the increase to $20/5 pairs will reduce the above figure however, it is still BETTER value for money than any other foam on the market.
I hope this is clear...all I was trying to do is save the current users some money.
cheers!
