My only compaint is that the volume and tuning dials are more protruding than the Thompsons so they could get knocked out of position more easily.

They do sit on the head nicly though and feel comfortable.

The headphones are exactly the same as the model I was offered at the main dealers for £52 two years ago. Why some are trying to sell them for £150 I don't know.

My bigest complaint is the LCD screens, I think they could be a lot better, at least as fitted in 2003. (its the first time I;ve sat in the back and looked at a DVD)

Thanks for the update -sounds like these might do the job then. One more question where is the tuning dial. I know the headphones have a channel A/B switch and a volume wheel - is there a tuning wheel on the earphone as well. As for tuning it in - is there a way of telling what frequency setting you choose ?

Thanks
