I've ordered these, but in a nice silver colour. Amazon Prime so they will come tomorrow.

They look nice.

These are the ones WD got me. Both are similar to each other I think

I was wrong. These are the ones I got. Cheaper than the other ones

Not keen on wireless, I went old skool and bought these beauties, look like old WW2 headphones but the sound is amazing.

I hate wires. If I could have everything wireless and no more bloody wires gathering dust I would Love That.

I want as many built in things IE Freesat etc in the next TV we buy so we don't have to have the same boxes and wires at the back of everything

Showing my ignorance but why and when would you use them ??
They look to be an excellent piece of kit and I did look into buying some but.....
I have a good stereo and a good (Robertson) radio.
How would I benefit from them?

I use them a lot looking at YouTube videos on various subjects. Mr WD doesn't have to listen to what I am looking at on my tablet. I use them everyday foe YouTube, films and series on my tablet etc.

I have a good wired pair but, yes they are annoying as you need to always be carrying your phone, iPod or whatever and have wires dangling so better to be able to wander round the house unconnected.

I was told you had a good wired pair.
Any chance of a photo

Back from my gym induction, breakfast eaten, contemplating a potter on the bike now. Still feeling the effects of the unaccustomed early start, hopefully will wake up properly later. Funny how you get used to things, not long ago I would have been in w*rk by 7.45 most mornings.

Generally, I agree with you on the wires, the back of my hi-fi looks like something from the space shuttle, but I don't think the quality is quite there with wireless just yet, just my opinion though.

Morning all... I seem to be addicted to afternoon quiz programs. Apart from the regular ones I watch or record, Countdown, Tipping Point, Pointless and Richard Osman's House of Games. I started watching 'LetterBox' ..... I know I must get out more.

I've got a pair of Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones. I use them while watching iplayer on my tablet. They're useful when flying, that's not gonna happen for a while but they cut out the aeroplane engine noise.

Have a good day folks!

Good morning all, a little rain overnight, but the sun has come out.
After all the usual things to do, a bimble on the bike will be had. To Tesco at Potters Bar. MrsP like Dolce Gusto coffee pods, and nowhere around here has them. A good excuse for a 10 mile round trip.
I have found on bay of e, a replacement cast iron manhole cover and frame, a slightly different shape but the same size, so just a bit of cleaning out and cementing to be done when it arrives.

Stay safe everyone

Maybe you could join the The Manhole Cover Appreciation Group., or become a Gridder!
