out Dave Taylor here and I'm checking
0:14
out these These are the light me cozy
0:17
fit G1 open earbuds now right off the
0:20
bat I got to tell you the box was
0:23
incorrect the box says these are the
0:25
Cozy Fit 2 Pro but I assure you they're
0:28
the Cozy fit G1 one as detailed on the
0:31
bottom of the case and in the
0:33
instruction manual so I have to say I've
0:36
never experienced a Mis booxed package
0:39
before but they're really interesting
0:41
headphones anyway or earbuds not sure
0:44
what to call them actually because they
0:46
sit on your ear so the one part goes
0:51
behind your ear and the other part just
0:53
basically sits on your ear you can see
0:56
in this closeup how it actually fits and
0:59
that's everything it's super easy to
1:01
work with let me go ahead and put the
1:02
other one in too and they are running
1:06
Bluetooth 5.4 so they're already
1:09
connected and ready to go which is nice
1:12
and they have actually interestingly
1:13
they have elliptical drivers so they're
1:16
11x 15 mm drivers Bluetooth 5.4 and they
1:21
have active noise cancellation which is
1:24
an interesting idea when they're not
1:27
covering up your ear canal in fact I
1:30
found thec didn't really accomplish much
1:32
but we'll get back to that now the case
1:35
gives you three more charges and they
1:37
run for 6 hours if you have ANC enabled
1:41
or 8 hours if you don't so all told
1:44
you're going to get about 30 hours of
1:46
play time when they do need to be
1:48
recharged there's USBC on the back and a
1:51
usba to USBC cable included like I said
1:56
comes with a user manual and that also
1:59
gives you the link for the very
2:01
important light me Connect app so let's
2:04
jump into that app and I'll show you
2:08
what kind of features it offers and it's
2:10
a pretty nicely done
2:13
app so we'll launch it and now you can
2:17
see that my earbuds are here and I will
2:20
choose
2:21
them and there we go so you can see the
2:25
batteries are all nice and charged and I
2:28
do not have access active noise
2:30
cancellation I can tap on noise
2:34
cancellation and I do not hear much
2:37
difference and you do have EQ settings
2:40
where you can go and emphasize the bass
2:42
or the vocal or the treble I'm leaving
2:45
them on default for me that seems to
2:47
work best and I will tell you as is
2:50
common with sort of like first
2:52
generation open earbuds there's not a
2:54
lot of Base here these are very treble
2:57
heavy sort of audio playback the latest
3:00
generation of open earbuds from some
3:02
other companies that I've reviewed
3:04
actually give you base and give you a
3:06
very different audio experien in these
3:08
but these are still entirely functional
3:12
now in addition to the EQ settings you
3:15
can also do find earphones and you can
3:18
go into button settings and that gives
3:21
you the ability to change the tap panels
3:24
they have built-in touchpads so you can
3:26
do pause play answer phone next track
3:29
previous track you can see that there
3:32
are some different options I can choose
3:35
I can go to Voice Assistant I can have
3:37
it just disabled entirely we'll just
3:39
leave that on play pause so all of
3:42
that's very handy and then on the top
3:45
right is that little gear icon if I tap
3:47
on that then I actually get to some
3:50
perhaps more important settings
3:52
including firmware so it's going to
3:55
check to see if I'm running the latest
3:57
version of the firmware and when I first
4:00
did this it did do an update let's see
4:02
what it does here I would assume it
4:05
doesn't need to update again cuz this
4:07
was only 48 hours ago but we'll find out
4:10
it's thinking it's chatting with the
4:13
server somewhere probably on the other
4:16
side of the
4:17
globe so not sure why it's taking so
4:23
long I'll come back when it comes
4:26
back it never did come back so I assume
4:29
there's just some temporary um issue
4:32
with their server I'll try again in a
4:34
couple hours but suffice to say checking
4:37
your firmware version is very important
4:39
and there is a digital version of the
4:42
user guide which you can get to in
4:45
Chinese one hopes they also have an
4:47
English
4:48
version I do not see the English version
4:51
yet but perhaps that's coming soon so
4:55
that's all the functionality in the app
4:58
now while we're at it let's actually
5:00
hear its voice pickup so I'm going to go
5:02
to voice memos and so now what you're
5:07
hearing is my voice is picked up by the
5:09
Light me cozy fit G1 open earbuds
5:13
withc and as you can hear the voice
5:16
pickup is actually quite credible it
5:18
actually sounds quite good but I really
5:21
want to talk about the music playback so
5:23
let me switch back to my regular
5:26
microphone oh before I get to the audio
5:28
let me say one more thing is that they
5:30
are number one super lightweight they're
5:33
less than a/4 ounce each so as I have
5:37
these on I can easily forget that I have
5:39
them actually sitting on my ears because
5:42
I can still hear everything in the
5:44
environment around me now if I play
5:47
music then that music then to some
5:49
extent competes with my environmental
5:52
noises so these are not the kind of
5:55
design that you want for a commute these
5:57
are not going to be really great on an
5:59
airplane or a train or a bus and if
6:02
you're in a noisy environment they're
6:04
probably not going to be great but if
6:06
you're gardening if you're doing a run
6:09
or a bicycle or you're at the gym or
6:12
something these could be really good
6:13
because they're open they're incredibly
6:16
comfortable and you don't have any
6:18
issues with sweat or anything in fact
6:20
they're ipx4 water and dust resistant so
6:23
even if you are sweaty it's not going to
6:25
affect the actual earbuds themselves but
6:29
that brings us to the sound and I will
6:31
say they sound okay they're pretty
6:34
budget open ear headphones or open
6:37
earbuds whatever you want to call them
6:39
and so there's a lot of treble there's
6:43
not a lot of Base kind of what you
6:45
expect with this design for the most
6:47
part and the issue that I had more than
6:51
anything was the volume now maybe I'm
6:54
expecting them to get super loud but all
6:57
I could say was that I had my pH on full
7:00
volume and I would still say that the
7:03
were producing medium volume level now
7:07
it might be different on an Android
7:09
phone and it might be different on your
7:11
phone there might even be some setting
7:13
in the app that I haven't noticed that
7:16
actually gives you like volume boost or
7:17
something or maybe that's coming in the
7:19
next version of firmware maybe it's
7:21
stalled out cuz a lot of people are
7:23
updating their firmware right now but as
7:26
is I really like the design and and I
7:29
really like the case let me give you
7:31
some close-ups as I continue talking but
7:34
the case design is very simple it's
7:36
really easy to work with they're very
7:39
comfortable they're really easy to take
7:41
on and off you don't have to worry about
7:43
hygiene if you loan them to someone else
7:46
there's no different size ear tips to
7:48
adjust all of those are real pluses the
7:51
only downside that I have is that it's
7:54
not giving you a full audio reproduction
7:57
so if you want to listen to your
7:59
favorite house music with great drops
8:02
they're not going to be here at all
8:03
you're just not going to hear them but
8:05
if you're listening to podcasts or audio
8:07
books or talking on the phone these
8:09
could be great or if you're listening to
8:12
music and you're okay with the fact that
8:14
it's not going to give you a lot of Base
8:16
then these again are going to be really
8:19
nice for you I will also say that thec
8:23
as far as I could tell accomplished very
8:25
little as I would expect it's really
8:28
hard for active noise cancellation to
8:30
work when your ears are still open and
8:33
exposed to all of the environmental
8:35
noises around you so I kind of wonder if
8:38
the ANC was something they were
8:39
experimenting with and it might or might
8:42
not show up in future versions of these
8:44
actual open earbuds but all of that
8:47
being said and all of those limitations
8:50
being listed and the weirdness of the
8:53
wrong box being
8:55
mentioned I will say these are pretty
8:58
interesting and if if you primarily
9:00
listen to the human voice these are
9:02
really really good for that and as you
9:04
heard its audio pickup is entirely
9:07
useful and functional for phone calls
9:09
and such so these might be a good choice
9:12
for you so they are definitely ones to
9:15
consider I will highly encourage you to
9:18
take into account the pros and cons and
9:21
maybe look at what some other reviewers
9:22
have said before you make the purchase
9:24
decision though they're not that
9:26
expensive so we do need to talk price
9:29
before we get there I'm going to invite
9:31

9:33

thumbs up if you found this to be of
9:42
value and if you didn't leave me a
9:44
comment with what you wish I would have
9:46
tested demonstrated or talked about cuz
9:48
I'm always looking to improve my videos
9:52
all right well these let me pull one off
9:55
here these are the light me cozy fit G1
10:00
open earbuds and they are
10:03
$69.99 at
10:05
light.co and they are on and off
10:08
available through Amazon and so you
10:11
might do a little price comparison
10:12
before you acquire a pair but these are
10:15
pretty interesting I will tell you light
10:17
me has a new generation of these coming
10:19
out and I expect that they're going to
10:21
address a lot of the issues that I've
10:23
just mentioned so keep your eyes open
10:26
for the rest of their product line
10:28
