The Insignia 6' USB to USB-C Braided Charge-and-Sync Cables (2-Pack) will not only charge your smartphone, but also let you transfer files and sync your device. The 6 ft. cable provides enough flexibility for various placement options and the braided jacket keeps the cable protected.

Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output which means you get high-quality audio. The EarPods (USB-C) also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a press of the remote.

GREAT TV!
By GadgetGuy3940
I wanted an LED set with great upscaling and motion handling (to watch shows and sports on cable), great video processing for all sources, for use in a bright room, and with reliable reviews from others. After MUCH research I went with the x950H and am so glad that I did. Sony is known for their video processing (including upscaling) and color accuracy. No need to professionally calibrate this set. It looks great on Cinema setting with a few tweaks. Sports and other fast moving content look great. Streaming 4K HDR source are amazing. It was between this and the x900H but after comparing them side by side and reading about the many more issues with the x900H (banding due to lack of gradient smoothing features and motion settings reverting) I decided to go with what is most important to me, picture quality and content. The Android OS has just about every content app that is needed and the GUI is fairly snappy. I am also not using this TV for gaming so I was not concerned at all about the lack of HDMI 2.1 (the only advantage besides a lower price that the x900H has). Once in a while I lose wifi network connectivity and have to unplug or reset the TV. This has happened 2 or 3 times since owning the set. The lowest I have seen the 75" for is $2599 here at Best Buy during their 2-day sale going on during Amazon's Prime Days. I did get the delivery and set-up service from Best Buy because I had read about too many horror stories of cracked screens from deliveries that stop at the front door. Wasn't taking any chances with this purchase.

Regarding X-Wide Angle Technology
October 16, 2020
I will say that although the X-wide angle technology on this set helps a bit with off-angle viewing, the technology also results in an odd "rainbow effect" where any light source reflection yields subtle rainbow-colored lines emanating from it on the screen. The overall brightness of reflection may be reduced vs. sets without the X-Wide technology, but the rainbow effect can be just as distracting, and I often still need to turn off or cover light sources in the room for a better viewing experience. I will say that the TV gets plenty bright to offset reflections which are mainly noticed in dark background scenes.

Will this model be getting the update that adds the Apple TV+ app? Sony recently announced that the update would be coming to "most 2019 and 2020, and select 2018 models". Will the x950H series be one of these models? If so, when will it happen?
