Yes, I think I might try the refund route and maybe look
at a more expensive set. If the shop thinks this model
ought to be quieter, I'll be happy to try another pair in
store and have a listen. I don't mind a bit of noise, but
this level could get annoying. (I might get my head
examined again, I don't think the doctors checked for IR
emissions, I can change the channel on my TV by
concentrating and blinking, is that a bad sign?)

Can't everyone do that? Er...except Eeyore...

Indeed. My eyes only operate in the X-ray band.
