wireless headphones that are completely
0:02
waterproof let's check them out Dave
0:11
Taylor here and I'm looking at
0:12
headphones this time these specifically
0:15
that are almost like a nice little
0:17
necklace right these are the try bit ex
0:21
free one and they're really nice little
0:24
headphones they're wireless obviously
0:26
and they have a magnet which makes it
0:28
easy for you to carry them and they have
0:31
a pretty distinctive design with this
0:33
little stub sticking out now this stub
0:36
means that it's really important you put
0:38
it on the right way so first thing to
0:41
notice is that on each one there is a
0:43
little L and an AR easy way to remember
0:46
is that the inline control is going to
0:48
be on the right hand side and it's
0:50
important you put it so it hangs down in
0:53
front of your face if you swing it to be
0:56
behind you number one the inline control
0:59
and microphone for phone calls is in the
1:01
wrong place but number two the
1:03
orientation of this will change and it
1:05
won't fit properly in your ear so when
1:08
you do it the right way and when you put
1:10
the right ear tips on and the carrying
1:13
case that comes with has three different
1:15
sized ear tips take the time to try
1:17
different sizes to get the right ones
1:19
makes a lot of difference but once you
1:22
get that all right and you put them in
1:24
they fit well they're easy to work with
1:26
and they have really good sound so I'll
1:29
tell you they have six millimeter
1:31
dynamic drivers and once you have the
1:33
right ear tips on them you get a nice
1:35
range of sound nice bass and a warm high
1:39
that's not too annoying and it's not too
1:42
bright and not a ton of soundstage not a
1:45
ton of sort of space in the music
1:47
because they are still little tiny ear
1:50
buds but really pretty decent sound and
1:53
these would be great for workouts or for
1:55
a run and their ipx7 waterproof so you
1:59
could wear them if you're going for a
2:01
run in the rain if you're having a
2:03
shower and you just can't stop listening
2:05
to that podcast this has got you covered
2:08
I'm not sure I would ever wear them in
2:10
an extreme water situation
2:12
I don't even know what extreme water
2:14
situation means but I'm not sure I would
2:17
wear these but you can and that's really
2:19
nice now I will say swimming surfing
2:22
anything where you're in water and
2:24
you're really really active I'm gonna
2:26
guess there's a good chance they'll
2:27
float off and vanish and that would be a
2:29
drag I know that the vast majority of
2:32
surfers would get out and say oh hell
2:34
man I lost my earbuds that would not be
2:37
good now let's get back to these dopes
2:39
don't use them in that situation so
2:41
we'll get back to these ten hour battery
2:44
life that's really nice as with any
2:46
device the battery life is a function of
2:48
how hard you push this so if you have it
2:50
up super loud then you're gonna get less
2:52
battery life that's how it works now the
2:55
constructions surprisingly good too
2:57
they're actually made out of aluminum so
2:59
it's not plastic but it's still 14 grams
3:02
which was almost nothing which means if
3:05
you want to wear these as a necklace or
3:07
something because you're not using them
3:08
you will not even know they're on
3:10
I mean honestly you'll forget people
3:12
will look and they'll go what is that
3:14
necklace that's really interesting and
3:16
you'll be like oh oh yeah they're my
3:17
earbuds so that's good and it has CVC
3:22
6.0 noise cancelling which works really
3:25
well and one more detail technically is
3:28
that it has bluetooth 4.1 with a2dp
3:32
so it does a nice job with stereo it
3:35
does a nice job with audio separation
3:38
like I said all the sound actually it
3:40
sounds really nice there's a nice
3:41
soundstage there's a decent amount of
3:44
bass if you use the right ear tip make
3:47
sure you spend the time and the highs
3:49
are nice they're not too bright I mean
3:52
it's still six millimeter drivers are
3:54
still pretty small but it sounds
3:56
actually pretty darn good and see I'm
3:58
not sure what else I can tell you about
3:59
them these are just really nice they
4:01
work very nice with my iPhone they're
4:04
gonna work really well with your Android
4:06
phone or your tablet and they are so
4:09
easy to work with because they're so
4:11
light and they're easy for you just just
4:12
you know put around your neck and then
4:14
the inline control case we haven't
4:16
looked at that it has volume up volume
4:19
down pause play power all the usual
4:22
features it also of course works for
4:24
phone calls so that's where the
4:27
microphone is to and you can pick up and
4:29
hang up right off the inline control
4:32
which is nice they charge through a
4:34
little plug on the side that's a little
4:37
tricky to open it's a micro USB
4:39
connection comes with a micro USB cable
4:41
but it doesn't come with a wall charger
4:44
my guess is you already have something
4:46
like that and if not you can plug the
4:48
cable right into your computer and you
4:50
know it's it's tiny there's a lot going
4:53
on in this tiny little inline plug here
4:56
or in-line controller but it all works
4:58
and it seems to work pretty well and I'm
5:00
pretty confident that once you get them
5:03
and you get a little bit of practice you
5:05
can just sort of run your hand up and
5:06
down feel the three buttons and know
5:08
what to do for pause play for a powerup
5:11
bluetooth pairing all that sort of stuff
5:13
now not much else to say other than the
5:16
price and before we get there let me ask
5:18
if you would be so kind as to click on
5:21
that subscribe button I really
5:23
appreciate that
5:24

5:36
website but you know what go to amazon
