What makes these headphones the best? For starters, it comes with an incredible noise-canceling function that effectively blocks out sound emitted by appliances, humans, and vehicles. It’s all thanks to Sony’s industry-leading noise cancelation technology, which means you’ll hear every word, note, detail, and tune with superb clarity no matter how loud the environment. Combine this with a powerful audio processor, and the result is immersive sound for movies, music, and live recordings. Additional microphones also help in isolating the sound while you talk on the phone, ensuring improved phone call quality.

Battery life is also one of its strong suits, which Sony claims can run up to 30 hours before needing a recharge. It has a quick-charging feature that gives five hours of playback with active noise cancelation after just 10 minutes of charging. This is a plus point for frequent travelers as it provides enough power for long-haul flights.

With a slim and lightweight profile, deep earcup interiors, and a padded headband, the WH-1000XM3 promises a secure fit that’s comfortable even during long listening sessions. Sony also incorporated a swivel and folding feature to the earcups which allows for convenient storage and tossed in a hard-shell carry case for easy packing when traveling.

The Sony WH-1000XM3 truly is an impeccable product worth gushing over. So if you’re looking for a pair of wireless headphones with premium noise cancelation and amazing sound quality, you better hurry and take advantage of Amazon’s 15% discount. You can order the black or silver version at a discounted price of $298.

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 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.
