These are some great sounding in-ear headphones
0:02
Let's check them out. Dave Taylor here, and this time I'm checking out these
0:13
These are the Bayer Dynamic Bluebird in-ear headset with sound personalization. Now, where does the name come from
0:21
I don't know. Maybe it's from that Paul McCartney song. Or maybe it's named after Charlie Bird, a very famous jazz musician
0:29
or who knows, it's totally unrelated, right? It's B-Y-R-D anyway, so that's obviously going to be slightly different anyway
0:36
But here's what's important is these are some really terrific sounding little in-ear headsets
0:43
And as they are typical for this design, there's the three-button control on the side
0:49
and it has a USB-C charging system, which is interesting. You don't see USBC very often
0:56
And then these little in-line guys, I assume, are battery. of some sort. So basically you flip it over your neck, you find the two ends, you put them in your
1:06
ears, and then you pair them with whatever device you're using. And then of course you have the
1:12
controls and the microphone conveniently right by your mouth. I'm going to actually leave them out
1:17
of my ears. It sounds weird when you're talking with them in your ears. And whether you have an
1:23
Android phone or whether you have an iOS iPhone, you then can use the mosaic sound
1:28
personalization system, which is in the MIY app. And here's just a couple of quick screenshots
1:35
You can simply enter your age and it'll actually do a sound profile based on probably what
1:40
your hearing is at your age. Or you can actually go through a six minute sound test where it does
1:46
different frequencies in each of your left and right years and it creates a custom sound signature
1:52
just for you and your actual hearing Obviously the second one is going to give you better results But if you don have the patience or you already in a noisy environment because it needs to be super quiet for you to do the hearing test properly So if you already in one of those environments
2:06
you can still get the benefits. And what I really like is you can then actually play with it and you
2:11
can see, hmm, what does it sound like if I give it a lot of the personalized sound profile versus
2:17
maybe just a little bit? Now, I will warn you if you max out and get the maximum possible
2:23
results, then I have found there's a little clipping, so, you know, depends on the music
2:28
depends on the volume. But if that's the case, just step it down a little bit and you'll find
2:32
it works a lot better. Now, the earbuds themselves or in-ear headphones, or you want to call them
2:39
support a ton of different capabilities. So they have APTX for you Android lovers, and they have
2:46
AAC, which is the preferred sound profile for the iPhone series. And they also support
2:52
SBC, A-V-R-C-H-F-P, H-F-P, H-S-P, SPP, etc. Honestly, this is just alphabet soup
3:01
I don't think these acronyms actually mean anything. I know, they do. It's okay. In terms of the actual audio capabilities itself
3:09
they have a remarkable performance of 10 to 25,000 Hertz, which is way more than I can hear
3:15
and I'm guessing probably more than you can hear, but you get this really rich, deep bass
3:21
and nice sweet highs. It's not shrill. It doesn't hurt your ears
3:25
You're not going to be like racing to lower the volume or anything, which, of course, you can also do with the inline controller
3:31
but I tend to use it on my phone, but that's my whole story
3:35
and that's how I use it. So in any case, so three button control remote
3:40
super easy to work with, six hour battery life on a full charge
3:44
depending on what kind of music you listen to. And I found that they had extremely low latency
3:50
In fact they say on the box that they are low latency with Qualcomm APTX And the low latency is not just marketing hype I watched some streaming video on both devices and in both cases it was absolutely in sync
4:04
And that's really nice because a lot of times with these Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth headsets or in-ear buds, whatever
4:12
you get a quarter or a half a second of latency and that can really ruin your watching experience
4:18
Now, I don't watch a lot of movies on my phone, but when I want to watch, a video or something, I really want to be able to have everything in sync. It's very strange otherwise
4:27
Now, in addition to the headphones themselves, it comes with a very nice hard case. And in the
4:33
hard case, it actually has five different sizes of ear tips, which is great because you really
4:40
want to take the time to find exactly the right size for your particular ears. And it has a USBC
4:48
charging cable. And of course, the case itself is really nice. It's small, easy to slip into a pocket
4:54
You can have it in your back pocket and it's going to be fine. Or obviously, you can put it in your bag, briefcase, book bag, whatever
5:01
And it's going to just protect everything. My guess is that once you actually have the right size ear tips and everything
5:07
you're probably just going to be carrying this unit, but it has space for more if you need it
5:13
So I like the case. I don't usually like these sort of cases, but this one's nice and very slim
5:18
It's not square. It's not chunky. Well done. So really, let me just talk about the sound now
5:26
I've already sort of mentioned it, but let me just say they sound dynamite
5:30
They sound really, really good. I mean, like, it's hard to believe that they're at the price point they're at
5:35
because these sound like their $500 units or something, and they're not
5:41
They don't cost anywhere near that much, but they have a full, rich sound
5:46
They have a nice sound stage which means if I close my eyes and I listening to a jazz quartet I can point to the different musicians That is not an easy thing for audio review production to do right And the highs sound good the lows have a nice
6:01
thump to them, so I was listening to some of the soundtrack to a Japanese
6:07
movie and lots of drumming, lots of Tycho drumming and everything, and boy
6:12
it sounds super exciting. It sounded really good on these. There's really a lot to be
6:17
impressed with and yet they're biodynamic so it's not like it's a huge surprise that they know what
6:22
they're doing and they know how to produce really good earbuds and really good headphones so they have
6:28
definitely accomplished it with these bluebirds now before i get to the price and you'll definitely
6:33
want to know about this i want to ask if you can go ahead and subscribe to my channel it's just a little
6:38
button one click one tap away and now you're subscribed you'll be able to catch all my reviews
6:44
really appreciate that cool now Now, these are the BayerDynamic Bluebird in-ear headphones, and they are $149 at
6:55
buyer dynamic.com. And you know what, at that price, they are kind of a steal
7:01
And not only that, but one of the other things I didn't mention is that they are designed. They have what they call their stay flat design
7:07
So once it's in your ear, it's actually a remarkably flat. It doesn't stick out
7:12
It's not uncomfortable at all. In fact, it's quite comfortable for hours of listening
7:17
And they look sharp. There's really a lot to like here. So I am a fan, and I think these are definitely worth you checking out
7:24
So, Byer Dynamic Bluebird headphones or in-ear headphones. And that means I'll catch you in my next week
