Good sound, Tricky Fit
on March 5, 2021
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sound is very good for an open environment earbud. However, a major issue with the design, is that the fit cannot be adjusted to size with your ear. For example, my right ear fits fine, but my left ear doesn't and there's no way to adjust the earbuds (they're not flex-to-mold like some others), so the sound doesn't hit quite right, which brings me to another point. The "sweet spot" is fairly small, so these are either a yes or no proposition.
Also, the case doesn't charge the buds, instead, it comes with a proprietary cable to charge outside of the case. This looks to be a cost cutting measure, as they don't have to add a battery to the case.
Overall, they are little pricey for what you get. If they were adjustable, I would seriously reconsider.

Turn an Old Computer into a Useful Computer

Upgraded an old laptop with a 7200 RPM HDD (that was getting slower by the day) and this thing gave it new life. Works great and give you nice solid performance at an excellent price. If you have a laptop that's 5 years old or so like I do, but has a decent CPU (mine is an Intel i7-6700HQ), you can vastly increase your performance with a simple $55 upgrade.

HyperX Pudding Keycaps feature a translucent dual-layer style and our signature HyperX font, both of which are designed to provide extra brilliance. These double shot PBT keycaps are thicker, more durable, and more resistant to solvents. The full key set is compatible with HyperX and most other mechanical gaming keyboards and come with a stylish HyperX keycap removal tool for easy installation.~

Falls a Little Short
on February 11, 2021
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to agree with the other reviewer that mentioned the laptop feels "slapped together". Some issues noted below.
- There was a slight gap in the seams (on the sides) where the top panel joins with the side/bottom panel.
- A larger issue was the center portion of the keyboard dipped in about 1mm. It was noticeable almost immediately upon opening the lid before I even powered on the laptop. The center of the unit did depress a little. This is common with cheaper units, but I was expecting better at this price.
- The "C" key light was out.
- BT mouse stuttering issues. Basically, every few mins or so, the mouse would pause for a second and then resume. This would also happen when actively scrolling. When the mouse was left unmoved for a little, it would pause again, but it would take longer to re-engage. I am aware of disabling power management features of various items in Windows Device Manager, which I did, to no avail. I've noticed this may be an issue with 11th Gen Intel CPUs, as I've not experienced this with any 10th Gen CPUs, even with power management features active.

That being said, the display was very nice, color uniformity was great, and trackpad felt premium. If they tighten up the quality a bit, even if they wanted to charge $100 more, this could be a winner.

Excellent price, excellent performance. Probably the best quality $100-ish microwave, both in terms of build quality and performance. This basically mirrors my built-in $400 GE microwave. Perfect for my home office setup!

AirPods Max reimagine over-ear headphones. An Apple-designed dynamic driver provides immersive high-fidelity audio. Every detail, from canopy to cushions, has been designed for an exceptional fit. Active Noise Cancellation blocks outside noise, while Transparency mode lets it in. And spatial audio with dynamic head tracking provides theater-like sound that surrounds you.~

Very, Very Nice
on January 13, 2021
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
As a wireless headphone, yes, they are on the expensive side. However, to put things in perspective, when talking about headphones from affordable to expensive, they are on the low-mid side. High-end wired headphones from beyer, Focal, Audeze. Sennheiser, etc. are at least 2x the price to 4x-6x.
That being said, in terms of wireless performance, they are the most pleasing to my ears. Soundstage is wide for a closed back headphone, while imaging is very good. Those aspects combined create a very open, detailed musical experience wirelessly. Tuning is ever so slightly colored in sub-bass region (which I love) and perhaps some additional sparkle in the highs. Upper bass and mids sound great; sound is not "wooly" and vocals are detailed & present. Anyone that appreciates an airy, clean, yet bodied sound will likely love these. In terms of sound, for me, they beat out everything in the upper-tier wireless class (XM4, NC700, AONIC 50, Amiron, MW65), all of which I either have or had and sold/returned.
Build quality stands alone. Aside from quality materials, the fabrication quality is top-notch.
Yes, the case sucks. You'll need to order a proper case. The headband mesh feels nice, but I question it's long term performance/durability. I have no evidence it's an issue, but I would baby these things if I were you.

Excitement to Disappointment
on January 5, 2021
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Laptop specs are great with the flagship Intel i9-10980HK. Overall sturdiness of the unit is very solid, with satisfying hinges and keyboard presses. First impressions directly out of the box were great...excitement building...
then...all the joyous emotions came crashing down, kind of like when someone tells you they just like you "as a friend".
The touchpad was smooth and felt nice, however, when tapping (not pressing for a click), it felt slightly loose and made some small clicking sounds, which were not actual the full click press. Actual press-down clicks were fine, but it was the tapping that elicited unwanted noises.
OK, OK, OK (my best Joe Pesci impression here), I don't really use the touch pad much anyway, so it wasn't a deal breaker for me. BUT THEN...I noticed some fairly bad backlight bleeding on the lower left corner. While this is expected for cheaper laptops for students, kids, etc., a professional grade laptop should not have this issue. If it does, it should be caught at QC, fixed, and then shipped to a retailer.
If you're doing any kind of legit photo/video editing, Photoshop, gaming with dark scenes, etc., this is an absolute deal breaker.

PROS
- Beautiful screen. Honestly, probably the best OLED screen I've seen on a laptop, especially at this price point. It can get bright. Great contrast with vivid colors.
- Benchmarks consistently beat baseline averages on all tests.
- I know some mention heat issues, but I've had no such issues using this in a typical home/office setting.
- Cool lighting system.
- Large, high-quality touchpad.
- Top-notch metal construction with a classic understated design.

CONS
- Fans are a bit louder than average, but by no means obnoxious. Use headphones anyway, so not an issue for me, but still worth mentioning.
- Glare could be an issue if you are in a heavily lighted area.

Great Audio

Another thing to add, is the sound card is incredible. It's a Realtek chip and simply identified as "Realtek High Definition Audio", but nevertheless, it makes my Audio-Technica MSR-7b shine!

With the 10th Gen Intel~ Core~ i7 processors enabling up to 8-cores and 16-threads of multi-threaded performance, the latest generation of Alienware m15 goes beyond its predecessor. Featuring the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 with Ultimate performance for gamers and creators. Realistic ray-traced graphics and AI-accelerated DLSS. Our latest thermal technology, Advanced Alienware Cryo-Tech, is an engineering approach where an Alienware system~s gaming performance is never compromised by means of electrical and mechanical methods while maintaining system stability during the highest performance states. The Alienware m15 offers incredible display options and the thinnest left and right bezels (5.6mm) among all Alienware gaming laptops for gamers who demand the best visual experiences possible.

This is seriously pretty cheap if you do the price match. The 3070 has more than 100w in this model and 360hz screen is sweet. The only thing I would complain is the fan noise. The fan sounds like a desperate woman screaming. Overall, I would suggest this laptop, even though the performance is not Alienware’s strength, the outlook of this laptop is sick.
