FWIW I've gotten hooked on using headphones, even when I'm watching something on my TV. Even cheap BT headphones will give clearer dialog than a TV's crappy built-in speaker, without having to worry about making the walls vibrate.
I spent serious money on a sound bar a while back. I used it twice, sent it back, and I've been using the BT headphones ever since. One of these days, I'm going to have company over and I won't know what to do. Make the walls vibrate, I guess.
