I got a nice headset a friend sent me from Japan as gift, but of course it's the wrong plug etc.

Am I right in thinking I need a step-up transformer for it to work? As voltage in Japan is 100v, here in UK it's 230/240v.

I got a basic plug converter but don't want to be pumping 200 odd volts straight into something that can't handle it.

Advise?
