UA,
Since you're going to have to go the mail order route, make sure that you pick a supplier that will honour returns. No idea how good UK suppliers about that, although given the cost and limited sales, I wouldn't have thought that it would be a problem.
If you're going the expensive passive route, maybe you could consider low cost ANRs too? It depends on what you fly I suppose and how much you value your hearing
I'd never go back to passives now.
Perhaps a mail order shop will let you buy two headsets and return the one you don't want?
Regards,
David.
PS - I have a mate in Reading who might have a hardly used pair of DC 13.4s to sell. Email me if interested:
