The Weekly DT is a weekly tech story from our brother site, DigitalTrends.com.

Samsung’s Level series of headphones are the company’s first go at a high-end headphone series. The new lineup is headlined by the Level Over, a full-size over-ear set of cans with Bluetooth wireless and active noise canceling on board. And based on our initial experience with the sleek new cans, we’d say Samsung has a real winner on its hands.

The $350 Level Over are accented with a soft, tan leatherette headband and ear pads, and trimmed with slim lines of chrome. but their exterior barely hints at their high-tech inner workings. In our video, we show off the headphones and dive deeper into our first impressions, which are overwhelmingly positive.

Bottom line: Samsung’s first try at a full-size premium headphone appear to be wildly successful, and very much on the level with competing models from the likes of Phiaton and Ultimate Ears.

There may be an Oscar in Timothee Chalamet's future, at least if the first reactions to A Complete Unknown are to be believed.

First reactions to the movie suggest that while the movie is strong, Chalamet's performance is utterly transformative. Here's what they say:

Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist said that while he's "not a fan of folk music and A Complete Unknown is superb and shockingly moving. Timothee is fantastic. Monica Barbaro is incredible. We need a Joan Baez spin off movie.”

Few hospital shows cast a longer shadow than ER. The NBC series ran for more than a decade, and Noah Wyle was one of its longest-running cast members. Now, Wyle is back in The Pitt, another hospital series that is coming to Max in January. The series is set in a hospital emergency room in Pittsburgh, Penn., and it takes place over the course of a single 15-hour shift, witch episode representing an hour of real time.

Max describes the new series as “a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn.”
