British Headphones?

[Ant8519]

Are there any British made (or even British company owned!) hifi headphones available at all? If so please recommend...

BTW I am not talking about silly money hifi, I am looking for some headphones primarily to use with my ipod and also use with my hifi if need be (for reference home hifi is a rotel ra-04 and rcd-04 and squeezebox duet and project 1 turntable through b&w 6somethings)

I have no preference for in or over ear designs, but from what I can remember of headphones as a kid my ears get really hot after a while so maybe hugely cushioned things would not be ideal - although excessive sound leakage would potentially be an issue...

thanks for all suggestions

I have had a hunt about and it would appear, sadly, there is no such thing as a 'made in britain' headphone. So I would look to Grado and the igrado. It is from the US which was British until 1776.
