"The case also includes a USB-C 2.4 GHz dongle, which is brilliant. I haven’t noticed any latency when using them with my gaming rig. ... With the dongle latency isn’t an issue. I’ve found my self using them for single player games a lot actually. Having noise canceling in ears while gaming has been an absolute game changer for immersion. The sound is rich, and the bass is good. Playing Jedi survivor and hearing all the beautiful lightsaber sounds while feeling them without any noises of the outside world is truly something amazing."
"Also imo JLab makes the best foam tips that don’t mess with the treble."
"those dual drivers make these things crazy. ... They probably are comparable to the denon perl in terms of sound from what I've listened to on them so far, though they do need a bit of EQing to get there. ... very Bassy in typical Jlab fashion"

"have an 11 hour battery life and another 46 hours with the case. ... battery life is 10/10, up to 11/12 hours with no features on, about 6.5 hours in my testing with LDAC and ANC turned on. ... 8 hour work day? No problem."
"excellent battery life ... seem to hold up well over time ... longest lasting buds on the market ... just due to the convenience of the battery life alone ... And if that battery starts to degrade, there's enough overhead where I could still potentially get a good amount of time out of them before the issues are untenable."
"BLE battery life is better than if using a regular BT connection."

"Some times you can get them for $100, which is crazy for the quality."
"for sometimes half the price of competitors ... Despite owning most of the current premium earbud lineup, I find myself recommending and often daily driving the Epic Labs"
"Worth $200 so far, if you find them on sale snag them right away."

"The build quality is top rate and much better than everything else I have"
"The case’s build quality blows everything else out of the water. It’s metal, and the hinges feel as solid as the AirPods cases—an impressive step up from the XM4s."

"Playing online games with friends is something I do not enjoy about them personally. ... The mic quality is meant for phone calls, and is very acceptable for that. But not so much in the world of gaming headphones with built in decent mics. Or especially compared to my current setup with a Focusrite audio interface plugged into my XLR shure. ... And that single feature keeps me from using them for gaming online."
"their mic sounds a little robotic"
"I used them at work today and they definitely have a hiss behind them. ... I will still use my airpod pro 2 at work for transparency but I will keep these around since the sound quality is unbelievable and to my ears they blow the airpods out of the water."

"JLab isn’t bad despite being a traditional barrel shaped bud, but doesn’t... have strong enough ANC for gym work."
"ANC is not as capable on the Epic Lab"
