SOUND
While all of the true wireless earbuds I have sound great, the JBL Club Pro+, in my opinion, not only have the best sound, but they have the most customizable EQ (10 band). Out of the box, the sound is exceptionally clear and mostly neutral. The EQ is very effective and does not change the character of the sound in terms of imaging; all sounds/instruments have their place and are well articulated. The EQ simply emphasizes frequencies to your taste does not pollute the rest of the spectrum. Very impressive for this type of audio package.

FIT & FINISH
Ergonomic and smooth placement/adjustment into the ear. Quality case and earbuds. Very well made with high-grade plastics and excellent fabrication.

ANC
While not the best in the game, it's still effective and not an afterthought. It gets rid of much of the constant low frequency noise (road noise, engine, etc.).

Overall, these compete with the best in the game, and to me, they are in fact the best at this current point in time. 100% recommend!

Grabbed these on sale for $49. At that price, there is nothing that compares. At the regular price of $99, these are still at the top of their class in terms of features, build, and sound.
SOUND
Fully customizable sound with the 10-band EQ in the App. Because they use quality drivers, you can EQ to your preference. I tend to enjoy the JLab Signature sound, but I did experiment with the EQ and it works great.

BUILD
The case is well build and feels high-end. Wireless charging works like a charm and the size is pocketable. The earbuds themselves are made of a smooth, sturdy plastic and feel very solid. These have a high quality feel, which is impressive for the price.

ANC
Because these seal in your ear, they have a good measure of passive isolation to begin with. Coupled with competent ANC, these work quite well for the gym or commuting.

Better sound begins with better silence. That~s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you~re most passionate about ~ from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that~s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.

PROS
- Sound is near the top of the TWS ballgame. Soundstage is excellent for the design, great instrument separation, engaging mids/vocals, and a nice top end without becoming sharp or fatiguing.
- Top-notch ANC. Still won't match the over-ear models from either Bose or Sony, but very effective and probably the best ANC in the true wireless realm.
- Comfortable fit. Might be a little large for intense workouts, but works well for lifting and walking/stairs.

- Great Fit/Comfortable.
- Great Sound. Instrument separation/placement is excellent. Deep clean bass, engaging mids, and clean/clear highs without becoming too sharp or fatiguing.
- I personally think they look quite nice.
- They are not IEMs, meaning they do not get jammed in your ear canal, rather, they sit right at the entrance to the ear canal. This allows for no air pressure against the eardrum and for a more open fit that enhances the soundstage and awareness (for joggers, in the office if you need to hear what's going on, etc.).

- Cool lighting system.
- Large, high-quality touchpad.

RUNS SUPER HOT!
on September 28, 2020
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
The summary says it all. Regardless of the specs, this thing runs super hot and games begin to stutter after less than 30 mins, regardless of the fan/cooling settings. Just a VERY poor heat management system.
Yes, drivers and BIOS were all updated. MAYBE some improvement, but honestly, I couldn't honestly tell you it actually made a difference. It's like the difference between hot and a little hotter. It's still HOT!

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!

Cutting edge engineering enhanced the end user experience by tackling the finer details, optimizing performance through calibration. The all new AERO evolves again from the inside out with an upgraded cooling system, refined aesthetics with an unparalleled visual experience, giving users the power to realize endless creative possibilities.

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.
