It shouldn’t be this hard… - Alienware AW720H

Alienware is a meme on this channel for Plouffe's love of the AW3423DW monitor, but are their other products any good? Adam is here to check out the new Alienware AW720H headset to see if gamers should check these out or just play their games without audio.

Love the app rant we all feel every single day :D

[jonafoto]

Adam completely ripping this apart killed me. 🤣🤣

[ArtForSwans]

I loved the gaming app rant because my friend had this issue with his Razer stuff where he had to download like 5 different apps just to be able to run all of his lights. He couldn't even solve it by buying stuff that was compatible with Razer because it still required him to have the app installed and running. The only way I managed to avoid this problem was by only buying Corsair stuff so that I only had to deal with their terrible shiny lighting app. 😂

I like these new tests from labs, headphones might sound good to 1 person but not to others but these "optimal" sound curves can actually show us what they would sound like in real life instead of just imagining, very informative. Finally a single person at LTT speaking what he actually thinks about product, bravo clap clap 9:40

Adam dropping bombs on bloated whatever-launcher apps right here, LOVE IT

[tearoulette]

1.1gb there are full up to date GUI OS that are under that. I hope it has some HD video tutorial and/or demos accounting for 90%.

[benjaminhofheinz]

Thank you for the software rant Adam. You speak words of true wisdom 🤣.

[docang]

I'd like to watch Adam, Dan and maybe James sitting on one table and then, they discuss anything about audio stuff.

[Neoxon]

Once again, Alex continues to be right regarding how to go about buying headsets. Don’t get gaming audio gear, get used music audio gear.

"My GPU Drivers want to launch my games too" man, I feel you brother

[aJazzyFeel]

Adam, thank you for your service o7 Your suffering on our behalf is appreciated on behalf of all GamersTM with standards. I really love your reviews <3

[deletingsoonbye]

You are a man of the people. We need more of your reviews.

[cookiesandstreams]

holy hell adam GET THEM
extremely cathartic watching adam tear these apart on every point that matters when i'm looking at headphones. good stuff.

[Lakeside_Flower]

The best rants on Short Circuit. Informative, focused on the product, well-structured, perfect!

[trissdavis]

The more I see Adam hosting videos the more I have come to appreciate him. More Adam please!

[Ceielo]

Oh my god, please let this guy host more. That rant near the end was great, and I want to hear more rants on tech stuff like this.

[zphreaky]

As a software developer, his rant is amazing and I fully endorse it.

[MarioGoatse]

The rant finally made me love Adam. He was always good, but a good passionate rant that I vibe with always makes me connect with a person on a deeper level. In fact, even if I disagree with their rant, the passion is what really matters. It shows that you care enough to show a bit more emotion, and that usually translates into their work IMO. Great review, mate! Loved it

The timeless advice of just getting decent headphones and pair it with a decent mic to create your "headset" always works. Sounds way better and no software needed.
