UK retailer Argos is currently running an eye-catching offer on the latest screens from Hisense, a brand renowned for its quality TVs. Right now, you can save 10 or 20 percent on several models, with prices dipping as low as £250.20 for a 43-inch TV.

All the offers end at 11:59pm on Tuesday May 20, 2025, so you have a few days to take advantage.

Best of all, all these TVs have Freely built-in. Freely is a digital free-to-air TV service from the people behind Freeview. Anyone with a valid TV license in the UK can plug one of these TVs in, connect it to their Wi-Fi, and immediately enjoy scores of free channels including those from BBC, ITV, Channel 4, STV, Dave, True Crime and many more besides.

Freely has emerged as a competitor to Sky TV, offering money-conscious Brits a way to access free-to-air channels if the prices for paid TV services are, understandably, a bill too far.

With these new Argos deals it means you can grab the Hisense 43-inch 43E78NQTUK Smart 4K HDR UHD QLED TV for £252.50 with the code FREELY10. That’s a superb price for a 43-inch telly that you can also use to log in to all your favourite streaming services.

Rather than needing an Amazon Fire TV Stick or similar device, these smart TVs have apps built in, so you can access Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Now TV, Apple TV+ and YouTube.

The included remote control for most of these Hisense TVs also have Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in so you can quickly find what you need to watch simply by talking.

The pricier Hisense TVs come with larger and improved screens with technology such as QLED or Mini LED for even more impressive picture quality. Argos is also offering free delivery on all the offered products, and don’t forget if you link your Nectar card to your Argos account you can claim one Nectar point per pound spent.

Sony has a very long tradition of making excellent wireless headphones. The Japanese firm’s WH-1000XM4s (launched in 2020) are still much-loved by those who own them. The award-winning WH-1000XM5s (which arrived in 2022) then refined the experience further, adding better sound and a new look. Now, there are some new cans to choose from, and they appear even more impressive than anything Sony has launched before.

Unsurprisingly, they are called the Sony WH-1000XM6, and they look set to improve on what were already some of the best headphones money could buy.

Firstly, Sony says its Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is now its most “advanced” yet, meaning owners should only hear the music and not annoying background sound.

This has been achieved thanks to an advanced processor and 12 clever microphones that are dotted all over the headphones. Hopefully, this update means you can still enjoy a podcast when sitting in a noisy cafe or having a screaming baby near you on a plane.

When you don’t want ANC, you can tap a button on the side to let audio in or simply place your hand over the ear cup to hear what’s going on around you. That’s perfect for those times when you walk into a coffee shop to order a latte and don’t want to take them off.

Next, there’s improved audio with Sony saying the upgraded sound has been developed in collaboration with world-renowned mastering engineers. The collaborative team of Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated engineers includes Randy Merrill (Sterling Sound), who has worked with the likes of Ed Sheeran; Chris Gehringer (Sterling Sound), known for his work with Lady Gaga and Mike Piacentini (Battery Studios), who has mastered tracks for Bob Dylan.

To help boost things further, the new WH-1000XM6 also supports the best formats, including High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless. Plus, there’s DSEE Extreme, which upscales compressed digital music files in real time to restore high-range sound lost in compression.

If you don’t like what you are hearing, all the settings can be adjusted in the Sony Connect app with the WH-1000XM6 even featuring a 10-band EQ for the ultimate precision.

Of course, many of us now use headphones for videos as well as music. To help make a boxset binge feel more immersive, 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema has been added, which brings a spatial sound experience just like you are in a movie theatre.

Along with sounding great, another vital feature of headphones is the way they look and feel.

Sony has refined things again this year with the WH-1000XM6, which features a soft-fit wider headband infused with vegan leather and earpads designed for all-day usage. They also fold up neatly like origami and can be popped into their carry case.

At launch, you’ll find three colours including Black, Platinum Silver and Midnight Blue.

Other extras worth a mention include long battery life, fast charging, improved voice calls and Scene-based Listening.

This new intuitive feature uses sensing technology to automatically play music according to your activity and adjust noise cancellation level based on your environment

They sound pretty mighty, but so does the price. They cost £400, which is pretty expensive, especially as you can currently get the older WH-1000xm5s for just £279.

“Sony today announced the WH-1000XM6 wireless noise cancelling headphones – latest edition of its award winning 1000X series that set a new standard for premium audio and personal listening experiences,” Sony explained in an email sent to Express.co.uk.

“Building on the legacy of the 1000X series, this latest model combines premium sound with the best noise cancelling1 in a seamless design to create an unparalleled audio solution for music lovers, fashionistas, travellers and professionals alike.”

Millions of Freeview users across the UK are facing a week of disruption that could leave some facing a blank screen or pixelated images when trying to watch their favourite shows. The annoying issues are being caused due to important engineering work taking place with areas across the whole of Britain currently affected.

“Sometimes engineering work is required on transmitters so that they can keep reliably broadcasting your favourite free-to-air programmes,” Freeview explained in an update on its website.

The update started on May 12, with possible side effects on TV reception expected to last throughout the week.

If you are suddenly finding that your picture isn’t as clear as usual, then one thing you must not do is start tinkering with the settings with Freeview, simply saying, “please don’t”.

In an alert, the team behind the free-to-view platform said, “If you are affected by engineering work, please don’t try and retune your TV – reception will be restored as soon as the engineering work is completed.”

Over 100 areas could see signal issues including Keswick, Jedburgh, Kendal, Sutton Coldfield, Blackburn, Guildford, Crystal Palace, Dover, Salisbury and Sheffield.

You can see the full list here.

These are two of the main issue currently affecting TVs.

• Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels

• Screen may go black on some or all channels

If the problems are giving you nightmares then you can try tuning into contnet via Freeview Play instead.

This service uses the internet instead of an aerial and isn’t affected by the current transmitter upgrades.

Now might also be a good time to look at Freely.

This new platform, which is actually owned by Freeview also offers full access to live and on-demand content using broadband.

It is built into numerous new TVs and offers features such as recommendations, a full TV guide, and the option to pause and rewind live TV.

It’s also just had an upgrade with users now able to access content already aired via a Backwards TV Guide function and My List. For the first time on Freely, users can now save up to 50 favourite shows from the UK’s biggest free-to-air broadcasters – all in one place
