Thanks for your reply, below is the description from his advert, it does seem they are the older model but it still seems a pretty good spec.
I guess they're probably worth the money.
I might buy one pair just to check them out, they will probably end up as "hers" she doesn't know I'm buying her a pair anyway, and I'll keep looking for a pair for myself.
