GADGET|The Beyerdynamic DT 880 borrows design features from both closed and open headsets. Users can still hear the outside world, but the volume is turned down on it. At the same time the headset keeps more of the music in the user’s ears than the open models that can be annoying to people around you. It weighs in at 9 1/2 ounces. Suggest retail price is $420, but savvy online shoppers can get a set for about $300.| CNET

On Thursday, NBC plays four episodes back to back, 7-9 p.m. on Channel 9.|Joanne Ostrow
