Beats by Dre has notably become one of the best and attractive headphones in the market today, more so since the brand was acquired by Apple in 2014. The Beats Solo 3 is, therefore, a result of the premium combination of Dr.Dre’s award-winning sound along with Apple’s superior software and hardware engineering. The only drawback of this collaboration could be that both brands are typically known to be on the pricey side. If you missed out on Amazon’s sale a couple of weeks back that dropped its full price of $300 down to $150, now is your chance to pick up the headphones with your very own Beats Solo 3 for $120 less.

The Beats Solo 3 is available in different colors under multiple collections that not only matches up to your style but also suits your budget. Its distinctive “b” logo is apparent on both sides of its adjustable cushioned ear cups to assure you that they look as good as it feels. For those who travel or commute, you’ll be pleased by its portability with a collapsible design that can easily be stowed in the pouch it comes with. Though others may have issues with its tight fit, it shouldn’t weigh you down as much at 2 pounds.

Apple’s W1 chip sparks these wireless headphones to life with a battery that can last you up to 40 hours on a single charge. Should you run out of battery life, you can easily hook it up with the 3.5mm audio cable provided or bank on its fast charging capabilities that can give you three more hours of playtime after five minutes of being plugged. Either way, you get to stay tuned in to your music and an unbeatable amount of power in no time at all.

Apart from its battery, Apple’s W1 technology also enables Siri and Bluetooth pairing. Android users have no reason to fret as the Beats Solo 3 is not limited to iOS devices. Syncing it via Bluetooth will surely give you the same functionality to take calls as well as have playback controls. iOS users would just have the advantage to activate Siri through the multifunction on-ear controls.

The Beats Solo 3 inherently delivers well on the low end of the audio spectrum but may struggle through the mids and highs. Nonetheless, it remains to be a solid pair of on-ear headphones designed for sound and tuned for emotion. Amazon just brings us the best bargain as it makes it available to us for $180.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.

The LG C6 OLED is great out of the box. These settings make it even better.
From Filmmaker Mode to shadow detail and AI Sound Pro, these are the settings that made the biggest difference after a month of testing the LG C6 OLED.
LG OLED Settings

The LG C6 OLED is one of the best mid-range OLED TVs you can buy right now. After spending the past month testing and using it every day, one thing became clear: straight out of the box, you're leaving picture quality on the table.

The good news is that getting more out of the TV doesn't require professional calibration or hours spent digging through menus. A handful of small adjustments can make movies look more cinematic, improve shadow detail, smooth out motion and even make the built-in speakers sound noticeably better. Here are the exact settings I've been using after living with the LG C6.
