I got mine for £60 delivered, and having demonstrated them at work several of my colleagues have bought them. We're all broadcast engineers so we don't suffer inferior sound - if that helps persuade you!
The only down side is that you wouldn't have them to use on your flight home from this trip. Might be worth a little research to see if they're available anywhere over there.

Keep the reports coming, I love reading Trip Reports. Sounds like you've been retracing our footsteps from last year at times, I know the Super Target at Rolling Rock rather too well.

Enjoy yourselves, cheers.
Dave,

On your recommendation just bought a pair of Goldring NS1000, paid £59.95 delivered from Superfi and got them within a couple of days. First impressions are that they are excellent. Going to see how they perform on Virgin next month. Slight problem is that I think the wife wants a pair now.
