For the money I feel its hard to beat. Great little TV. I have not used it for cable, only the wi-fi function for Netflix, Hulu etc. The picture is nice as is the sound. Using in master bedroom and no need for sound bar. Would give 5 stars, but not sure how it functions with Cable TV as I dont have cable. Wish it had an alarm function.

Pros - sound great. Really do have extra bass, but not overwhelming. Quality is good. Good value/price. Fit is nice.
Cons- no volume control or clip on cord.
Would have given 5 stars if had volume control.

Bose - QuietComfort® 20i Headphones (iOS) - Black
Designed for use with Apple® iPhone® iPad® and iPod®, these QuietComfort® 20i headphones are the first earbud-style noise-cancelling headphones from Bose®. Lose yourself in music or hear what's happening around you with Aware mode.
 

RE: noise cancellation quality when not listening to music

My main purpose for buying noise canceling headphones is not to listen to music without distractions, but to have peace and quiet while not listening to music. Peace. Quiet. No music, either. So, how well does the noise cancellation perform when not listening to any music? When not listening to music, will conversations be blocked out? Or, do they perform better with reducing noises like air conditioner units, subway sounds, but do not do well with blocking out human speech?
I found that voices will be muffled, but will still be able to hear them. The other incidental noises will be cut out. For example, on an airplane, when I turn them on without listing to any music all the sounds of the airplane itself go away, but unfortunately you can hear a baby crying or a loud passenger talking. It does reduce those sounds, but you can still hear the people and baby. When it gets like that, I put some relaxation music on really low, just enough to block out the voices and it seems to work.

Plugging jack into devices -- or not -- for just using noise cancellation

If I just want to tune out my obnoxious upstairs neighbors and not listen to any music, can I simply turn on the noise canceling earbuds without plugging them into my iPhone (or any other device)? Will the active noise cancellation still work if not plugged into a music player or other device? My primary purpose will be noise cancellation (not music listening) and I want something I can comfortably wear around the house -- without always needing to be tethered to my iPhone -- while I count the months until my lease expires. Thanks. ... and never rent a downstairs apartment.
Yes, you can wear/use them in the noise cancellation mode without being " plugged" into anything. I do the same thing on airplanes.
