RE: [OT] Noise cancelling headphones

[Gordon Christie <homeautomation@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I bit the bullet and purchased a set of NC5s. They'll be coming over
with a friend from the US at the end of March (cost to me: ~=A338).
Hopefully, they'll be trialled and tested before they get here.

Thanks for all the opinions.
