"superpower" is overstating it. Picking up paperclips is neat and being able to feel metal detectors as you walk through them or tell if things are ferrous is also fun but it's more of just a "power" than a superpower. It also has the downside of you needing to be careful around hard-drives and other strong magnets. On net I'm happy I got them but it's not amazing.
I'd mostly agree with that. After I finish my current project though I have some more in mind about using them as input methods, so for me they're as much toys I can experiment with as anything else.
