These earbuds have a distinctive design, but let's find out how they sound
0:11
Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out these. I like opening the case. These are the Fitty, high-fi dots, true wireless stereo earbuds, and they're pretty cool
0:22
First off, the case is designed unlike any other case I've seen
0:26
it's also made out of a sort of finished metal that is really a little heavier than you expect
0:33
but a really beautiful design. It comes in this dark green. It also comes in black
0:38
So from a sort of kinesthetic experience perspective, there's a lot to like here
0:44
And they're pretty straightforward to work with. They're a little tricky to get out, which in fact they have instructions on how to take them out
0:52
But once you put them in your ear, they're paired. ready to go. It just told me that they're paired. There's an app. Now, let me tell you a little bit
1:02
about them. They feature a 10mm base driver in each one that gives you 20 to 40,000 turts
1:08
but it's actually a triple driver earbud. So it also has two balanced armature drivers, too
1:16
And they use a passive crossover tech. So there's a lot of audio technology in these units
1:21
Let me show you the close-up so you can see the design, the metal finish
1:26
Everything really cool. They are APTX lossless and adaptive and APTX HD
1:33
They also support AAC for the iPhone users in the universe out there
1:38
And at their best, they're going to give you 44 kilohertz 16-bit CD quality audio
1:45
and they actually have pretty darn nice sound. One of the other things they really like is because they're using Bluetooth 5.3
1:53
you only have a 68 millisecond lag which essentially is down to almost zero so these are great for
2:00
gaming if you want to watch videos or a movie or a streaming service or something these are great
2:06
everything will stay in sync and they also have ANC active noise cancellation one of my favorite
2:14
features I work in a lot of noisy environments and their ANC is pretty sweet because it's two
2:20
level so you can have ANC in in pass-through mode, or you can turn it on moderate
2:26
which is good for a lot of environments, or crank it all the way up to maximum ANC
2:32
and they say that gets you up to 47 decibels of noise reduction
2:36
That's a lot. These would work great on an airplane or a train commute
2:41
or any really loud environment. Multi-point connectivity. They have a three-mic environmental noise canceling system
2:49
for phone calls. I'm going to give you a demo of that in just a second
2:52
And six hours of playtime just pulled out of the case. And then the case gives you about four four and a half more charges So that gives you a total of 30 hours of playback And the case has USBC charging on the bottom
3:08
It does not do wireless charging. I do not miss it. And there is a paired apple
3:15
Get there in one more second. So, IPX-7 waterproof. And like I said, the metal case, it's three and a half ounces
3:23
it is distinctly heavier than, for example, my AirPods Pro. But I really just think that design, this is something that they would use like out of Star Wars or something
3:35
This is a very futuristic sort of thing. Now, I'm going to put these in my ears
3:40
Let's see, I think that's my right ear. And this is my left ear
3:45
And let's go ahead into the app. And let me get that all set up
3:51
and the app's a little bit picky that many of its features you can't use unless you're actually playing music
3:59
So let me get some music going here and I'll talk about the sound quality in just a second
4:08
I just want to show you the app. So here we are in the app and it should reconnect the device
4:17
Let's see, I'm not sure why it's not seeing it. Maybe it's looking for it right now
4:23
We'll hopefully get connected momentarily because I am hearing music. So obviously that part of it is working
4:31
Well, oh, there we go. Now it's connected. It just took a little while to get there
4:38
But as you can see, it shows you the battery level on both sides
4:43
And then for the ANC, they call it ambient sound. But I have mild noise reduction on right now
4:50
and I can go to transparency mode and strong noise reduction and there's a different
4:57
audio feedback on each setting which is kind of interesting you can do an
5:01
ear plug test if you want to make sure that you have the right size ear tips
5:05
and we'll look in the box in just a moment and the equalizer is a little bit low
5:11
in features there's no presets or anything but if I want more base I can just
5:16
drag it up and get a little more bass out of my music and then perhaps one of the most fun things is the lighting effects and I'm not sure you can tell but
5:26
there are three different lighting effects for the actual earbuds themselves and then if you don't want
5:34
that you can also turn it off which will extend their battery life a little bit so that's something
5:39
worth considering and then finally this shows you all of the tap sequences and there's a fair
5:46
amount to learn here but honestly if you don't want to deal with
5:50
any of that just use your device that's the source unit and you'll be fine you can
5:54
also go into settings and you can check for firmware updates and stuff that pretty much everything here so let now do a voice test So I gonna pause the music and then we go into voice
6:13
voice memos. And now what you're hearing is my voice is picked up by the Fitty Hi-Fi Dots TWS
6:25
and like I said, they're using three microphones and there's an ENC or an environmental noise cancellation system also part of this
6:34
They use a lot of Qualcomm chips and that gives them a lot of that technology
6:38
But as you can hear, the voice quality is actually pretty solid
6:42
Now let me turn off the recording and let me switch back to my regular mic
6:47
So now we're back to my regular mic and I'm going to take these out of my ears and turn
6:53
off the recording. Okay. So we've gone through all that because what we really really
6:58
really need to talk about is the sound quality. These are pretty spendy as earbuds go in the modern era
7:06
and they have really nice sound. You would hope with APTX lossless that you would be getting that
7:13
because that means that it's just able to get a really big bandwidth of music from the source device
7:19
and these deliver. So the hi-fi dots really continue Fitties sequence of devices that they've been releasing that
7:28
have really good sound. And I thought these had a really nice sound stage. They were a smidge bright
7:35
for my ears, but that's something I could tweak with the equalizer. And I was listening to some
7:40
early police. You could see that on the screen. And they just sounded really nice. There's
7:46
lots to like here. I felt like whatever kind of music I was listening to, there is bass
7:52
It's not a huge, overwhelming bass. But it's definitely there. It's definitely enjoyed
7:58
and the music just has a crispness to it that makes it really into something that's a pleasure to listen to
8:05
So lots to like here. It's a slight bit tricky getting them in and out of the case is one thing I will say
8:12
And what I've learned is if you put the stem in and then let it, oops, let's do the right side
8:18
So if you put the stem in and then it can just sort of fall backwards into the rest of it, that's the easiest way to get it to work
8:27
And then, of course, that great little closing thing. And really so much to like here
8:33
Really, really beautiful design. I think that you might be someone who's actually going to just sit here and stroke this like a worry stone
8:41
It's just a really cool material. And the way it opens is just really neat
8:47
It will catch other people's eyes. The light sequences obviously convey information
8:52
They're like glowing green right now to give me feedback on their charge level
8:56
But the idea that they can also be on while I listening that fun Whether or not you going to use that on a daily basis is up to you But there really a lot to like here Really front and center though is the really good sound quality
9:11
These are very listenable. They're very comfortable. And in the box, as I said, I would show you
9:17
It's a very nicely designed box. And it shows you right here how to take them out of the case
9:25
So they know people have some frustration with that. There's manuals. And there's another box
9:34
And in this box, just sort of push this aside, are just a couple more things you'll want to know about is a really cool color charging cable, USBC to USBC
9:47
That's just a fun cable regardless. And then it comes with three more sizes of ear tips
9:52
So in total, you have four different sizes of ear tips. And it's really important to make sure you've put
10:00
the right size tips in. If you have them and they're too small, it might be a smidge more comfortable
10:05
but you're not going to have any base at all. So if you get these and you're auditioning them and
10:10
you're saying not a lot of low range, then try larger ear tips. Because the better they can seal
10:15
your ear c without being too big, then the better audio response you're going to get
10:20
So that's pretty much what I got. I think these are definitely ones worth checking out
10:26
But let's talk about the price too, because they are a little spendy
10:30

10:40
I hope you did. If you didn't, leave me a comment and tell me what you wish I would have done or shown or said or demonstrated
10:47
Okay, these are the Fitty, hi-fi, dots, TWS earbuds. They come in black or green
10:56
This, I would like to think you can tell, are green. and they are $1.99, $190, currently minus a $40 coupon at Amazon.com
11:07
I think these are a solid choice if you have the budget for something that's at this range
11:12
And these are in the ballpark of like the AirPods Pro and, you know, other high-end ANC earbuds
11:19
So they're not out of control at $159, but they are more spending than some of the other options out there
11:26
But, man, I love the design. I love the materials they've used
11:31
I love the way it opens. All of that is just really fantastic
11:35
These are definitely ones to look for. That's all I got. I'm going to go back to my early police because I like it
11:42
And that means I'll have to catch you in my next video
