Mr Peabody replied to a thread Obtaining earphone audio with pass through HDMI in General Audio Discussion

HDMI pass through just lets you listen/watch TV without your receiver being on. How are you wanting to use the headphones, music, TV at night, etc.? Many newer receivers will send Bluetooth audio signal to Bluetooth headphones. Another...

I like some of his songs, those used in 50 Shades of Gray and Starboy are my favs. I could do without the language but that seems to be synonymous with Pop these days. I didn't see the half time show but The Weekend is a hot artist that's how...
