    My recently acquired Grado PS1000 were £1800 new so should be pretty decent and I do like the Grado sound.

    THAT'S why (I haven't heard of them).
    I don't own a 'smart' phone.
    Or stream music -yet.
    Looks like I may HAVE to change re the phone, as so much of the world seems to involve waving a screen at stuff (let alone burying your nose -life - in one.
    Streaming? We'll see.

    Was talking to a couple of Civil servants this morning, who we 'selling' info on Fraud. I educated them on Faraday cages and cards/car keys, which of course they knew nothing.
    Got a free pen (it's a stick-like thing people used to put marks called 'writing' on paper.)

What a faff. I'm considering using a crook lock I have or just not worry about it. Since retiring I don't carry anything in the car so it's only a 30k car I would lose.

    I stick spare in a cage. and most nights i put the one i use in another. dont during day as its unlikely to happen. What they do is come up to your house at night and scan for a wireless signal and capture, boost and send it to another unit that a guy is holding next to door of car. Not all cars are susceptible, and mine isnt on the list but im taking no chances. they were only less than a tenner for 2, and they do work.
