Razer BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed Wireless Hot Swappable Gaming Keyboard

Incredible ear buds. I’ve purchased a ton of Soundcore stuff recently for their features and varieties and a long history of Apple AirPods and Beats studios, Monster, etc. Ear buds were basically a disposable thing to pop into my ears. I found that none of the soundcore variety stayed in my ears all too well which is a big deal since active noise cancelling (ANC) is a frequently sought out industry standard. Plus, no one seems to be able to hear me when I use them. Oh and I had one of there over the ear headphones, Q40s or something? Sounded great, ANC was impressive. Fell off my head once, and cracked. What a waste.So I decide to spend slightly more money and took advantage of a Black Friday sale. $150 later and some homework: I was looking to the Tour Pro 2s and 3s and found that the Live Beam 3s were meant to replace the Tour 2s, I decided to give these a try.First off, they’re a bit larger in the main housing so they snug to my ear better unconditional of the silicone tip size. Once I selected the smaller silicone tip, it was the most accurate fit I’ve had to date of anything I’ve tried in ear. Even better? Download the app and it will detect how effective your seal is. WHAT!I’m an audiophile in that I like good sounding music and that I believe very few thing will ever beat the organic sound of vinyl, but I won’t tell you why you need to hear a wider spectrum than 20hz to 20Khz – sorry. But they sound amazing. It’s full. It’s clear. It’s bright.Features. Features. Features. I think these have definitely set a standard in UI controlled feature set. The app is touted as one of the best and most of the feature you will frequent the app for you can do right on the cases’ built in screen. So friggin’ cool.People have argued that the ANC allows some noise to bleed through and although I understand where they’re coming from I find it to be 97% acceptable. I don’t expect to have padded room mind bending silence and I don’t know what I would do with that kind of isolation. The ambient mode allows me to keep my buds in and still not be anti social. There a cool smart talk feature that when you begin to talk it can set a period where it switches immediately to an ambient talk through mode so you can maintain your interaction interruption free. I turn it off but, how thoughtful!All in all. I’m still being wowed by this. And oh, people can hear me talk now! I also own the JBL Live 770NC. My friend has the Bose Quietcomfort headphones and side by side I think mine decimate hers. The deal breaker? She was in LaGuardia airport and I couldn’t make out a single thing she was saying. It sounded like the headphones were left under a blanket and she was whispering in the corner of the very room. For double the price, that’s shameful.I think JBL is cranking out some heat. I wouldn’t be surprised if you can get only what you can afford and if it says JBL you’ll be content.

Don’t be a naughty raccoon in the trash can , just buy live beams now and enjoy ear buds with noise canceling , ancillary mode , and a less than 2 inch touchscreen interface with so many audio customizations , it should make any audiophile smile knowing JBL packed this much punch in these earbuds , however thee battery life is WAY OVERLY EXAGGERATED, come on JBL that is naughty you need a spatula to your corporate booties , there is no way to determine battery life but it’s not JBL marked time , turn your brightness down to unit 1 and then make sure you swap your audio customizations on and off and that will drastically improve battery almost by 1 hr , if battery life makes you cry then don’t buy this but if you need some nice buds interchangeably for all the tasks you do through out the day and certainly for us audio freaks ,gamers , and graphic designers ,there is nothing to complain about when my earbuds have a touchscreen interface and didnt I say noise canceling ?😎

I use these when my husband is watching TV on blast or when I want to use my phone without bothering others. Sounds great, but I’m no audio snob, so I can’t speak about specs, etc. Noise canceling functions well and controls are user friendly. Appreciate the charge indication display on the case. Charge has been long-lasting, but it should be noted I do not use these to talk… just listening.

Absolutely one of the best earbuds I’ve ever owned. Sound quality is amazing, deep bass, active noise cancellation controls and the lcd screen on the base really makes it easy to navigate through the rest of the menu without having to reach for your phone. Trust me. You’ll love them.
