Watching movies on a big 4K screen sure is a satisfying experience, but having to listen at a low volume so you don’t bother your housemates or neighbors? Not so much. A good pair of wireless headphones suitable for a home audio and theater setup — such as Sennheiser’s RS 165 RF Wireless Headphone System — should do the trick. This model normally rings in at $220, but a booming 39% discount on Amazon lets you have it for only $135.

From sound quality and comfort to range and latency, the Sennheiser RS 165 hits all the right marks in digital wireless home entertainment. With these headphones in your home, you get to enjoy your music, movies, and TV programs without having to worry about distracting or being disrupted by others around you.

This RF (radio frequency) headphone system connects to a multi-purpose base transmitter that is directly wired to a TV or other output device. It eliminates a lot of latency and syncing issues that are commonly found in Bluetooth headphones. An easy-charge cradle, the stand also makes a nice place to hang up the headphones after finishing an episode of your favorite Netflix series or watching a movie. Wireless audio transmission is good and can deliver a range of up to 30 meters.

Sennheiser has a stellar reputation for its vibrant and detailed sound reproduction, and the same can be expected with the RS 165. Its closed, circumaural design helps reduce background noise and does not leak much sound even when listening at higher volumes. There’s also a bass boost listening mode for added power to the audio. The headband is adjustable and the ear cups are cushioned, providing exceptional comfort that you can rely on during long binge-watching sessions.

The Sennheiser RS 165 RF Wireless Headphone System doesn’t have as many ports which somehow hinders its versatility, but if you’re using it strictly for your TV or audio setup, its 1/8 auxiliary input (compatible with a regular audio cable) should be enough. Order this headphone system today for a discounted price of $135 and indulge yourself in a private and peaceful viewing experience.

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.
