Thanks Adrian (no other replies yet Mark & Gordon).=20=20

How big are the NC5's?  I've found loads of photo's on the web, but none of
somebody actually wearing them.  It's a personal thing I know, but I didn't
particularly want 'ear-muff' style 'phones (a la Bose and some of the
large=
r
Sennys).  Also, have you noticed any 'oddness' in your ears when you use
them?  As you've had them for 3 years I'm sure the answer is 'no', but

a few people seem to have complained of a feeling of pressure in the ear
canal, and even feeling a bit queasy.

I'm on a plane next week, so will probably plump for a pair tomorrow, but
I'm still not sure which ones.... (BTW, if anyone's planning on waiting
until the airport, don't bother, all crappy Dixon's had were sub-=A330 Aiwa
and Panasonic NC 'phones).  Target market walking in the door, and they

the shelves with crap, go figure....
