Ready to upgrade your audio experience? Let's check these speakers out
0:11
Dave Taylor here and this time I want to talk about high-end audio gear
0:15
These are the Totsi One speakers from Mark Audio Soda and they're big and super unique looking
0:22
and you can see they're thick, they weigh about three pounds each and let me show you the back
0:28
because it just has two speaker wire posts. So there's no AUX in, there's no built-in amplifier
0:36
there's no Bluetooth, there's none of that. These are just high-end audiophile speakers
0:42
So what are we going to do? Let's listen. So. Now I realize your experience isn't as good
0:51
because you're hearing it through this little mic, but I can tell you it gets super loud
0:58
And there's a lot of clarity to the sound. Let me just turn it down some. And if you're wondering
1:03
what I using here this is an N22 audio engine amp and this gives me lots of useful functionality including I actually sourcing the music off my iPhone So that pretty cool In fact let pause So this works out really great
1:19
More likely than not, you're gonna have this with some sort of stereo setup
1:22
and this would be so amazing for an office or a dorm room
1:26
because these really give you a full, sweet, crisp and detailed sound
1:32
that you don't get out of smaller speakers and you don't get out of speakers
1:36
designed by some guy in a cubicle. These speakers were actually designed by a fairly famous audio
1:42
designer, a guy named Mark Fenlon, and he's really also well known for designing the all-pair
1:48
audiophile speakers. So he is part of Mark Audio Soda, which obviously is the merger of two
1:55
different companies, and they're really focusing on coming up with a nice middle ground here
2:00
Now you might be looking at the color and saying, holy cow, that's really red. Turns out you can
2:05
also get it in black or white. And the material itself, it's kind of hard to describe. It's sort
2:11
of a rubbery material, but I want to tell you what it is. Let me get this right. It is made out of
2:17
acrylonitrile butadine styrene So what that actually is I don know but it makes these really acoustically precise And what they trying to do you know what really good speaker designers do
2:33
is they try to make sure there's no extra vibrations, there's no bouncing around of
2:39
signals where not wanted, so that everything stays crisp and aligned and everything just
2:43
sounds good and you get a really good sound stage. Now, these speakers are way too close
2:48
for a real demo. Really, they should probably be 5, 10, even 12 feet apart. These would be great
2:54
like I said, on two edges of a wall in a dorm room or an office, or maybe a tiny home. If you are
3:01
going into a tiny home, these could be giving you great audio in that environment. Now, they feature
3:07
the 50 millimeter Soda 5 driver, and they have 90 to 25,000 hertz, which is more than I can hear
3:15
but maybe you have amazing hearing. And what else can I tell you about it
3:19
Is that the company itself is based in Hong Kong, but the design team is pretty much all English
3:25
You can read about it more on their website. Now, before I tell you the price
3:29
I just want to say that if you can click on that subscribe button
3:32
that would be a wonderful thing Thank you Now the price These speakers are for the pair So this is not like I said your poolside Bluetooth speaker for you to have and oops it got rained on bummer These are
3:47
really much nicer and much higher end. So, I'm really impressed. I actually really like these
3:53
My biggest challenge is I don't actually have a stereo anymore. I just have all these consumer
3:58
electronics devices that have AUX out. Now, that can go through something like an amp and still
4:05
sound really good. Obviously, my phone is doing plenty well with this, but it is definitely not
4:10
something that's going to be a casual purchase. So, if you are an audiophile and you have the ear
4:16
and you can appreciate what these are pushing out, then these are pretty darn nice speakers
4:21
So, this is Dave Taylor. I'm going to get back to the music and I'll catch you in my next video
