I know the ones. There's a guy here with one, very "distinctive" audio. Still, they are pretty inexpensive, and I do like the red case option. I worry about the batteries though. I have had very bad and very exciting experiences with off-brand NIMH cells. As in "rapid heating and explosive venting of boiling electrolyte". But that only happened in about 1% of the cells we got from china.
