Is there a pair of open-back headphones you’d recommend for watching TV? Sometimes there’s a lot of noise in my apartment and turning up the TV just adds to the problem rather than helping me hear it better (especially voices instead of the annoying background music or noisy action scenes)

This isn’t necessarily accurate and probably depends on the model of open backed headphones. You can definitely hear music from many open back headphones when they are playing music if you are close, even at normal listening levels. My wife used to constantly complains about it when my office was in our bedroom and I had to switch to my closed back over ears that isolated well.
