Thank you for giving the first honest review that actually proved how good they really aren't! No one else showed how they get wear and tear. I'm interested in longevity of use. LOL on me: The first Finnish I learned was 'Sika' because there is this song by Ruoska, I just happend to like the tune of. Ignorant me, had no idea what the song was about. I looked up the translation someone else gave on some website and learned real quick. The only words in Finnish I know is "sika lika lanta' and 'susi' because of that song and because I love wolves. I hope to someday learn Finnish to a CEFR A2 level. I listen to mostly ethnic music from Israel, Turkey and Arabia. But when in the mood for something else, I listen to Raaka-Aine and Ruoska and some English and American bands.
