Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated. I'm not keen on 2nd hand for something that is worn right by my face so think an as new/grade a returns Dave Clark set or my Bose with uflymike is probably the best bet. The reviews on the uflymike are relatively positive online, does anyone have any bad experiences to report with these?? Uflymike with shipping works out at £150 so definitely a lower cost option although I accept that this is something not for scrimping on.
