sound reality earphones what the heck
0:02
let's check them out
0:10
Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at more
0:12
audio gear this time I'm looking at
0:14
these these are the Audio Technica
0:17
wireless in-ear headphones that go by
0:20
the name of ATH CK r35 BT they're part
0:25
of what Audio Technica calls their sound
0:27
reality line and those are designed for
0:29
high res audio these are compatible with
0:32
AAC which works really well if you have
0:34
an iPhone so you get really nice
0:36
expansive sound comes with obviously
0:40
Wireless so you charge it the batteries
0:43
here and this is an inline controller in
0:46
the close-up you can see it's a pretty
0:48
typical three button design each button
0:50
has double purpose so volume up next
0:53
track if you hold it volume down
0:55
previous track if you hold it and then
0:57
pause play or take the phone call hang
1:01
up on the phone call or hold it down and
1:04
keep it down and it'll turn the unit off
1:05
or if it's off it will power it on it's
1:08
pretty easy to work with once you get
1:10
the hang of it
1:10
what's interesting is it also has a
1:12
little clip so if you want to wear this
1:14
in front so you know sort of like this
1:18
then you can actually clip this on to
1:21
something so that's pretty nice but
1:23
generally it's designed more to be worn
1:25
like this and that works out very well
1:28
they're very comfortable and one thing
1:31
that I will give them credit for is
1:32
there is a little tiny R and a little
1:35
tiny L so you know which is which
1:36
although I suspect that it wouldn't
1:40
matter whatever but probably good to
1:43
know which is which so I really like
1:46
these they're really nice simple design
1:48
and they have nine point eight
1:50
millimeter drivers so you get pretty
1:51
good sound actually and Audio Technica
1:55
gives them a frequency response of five
1:57
to twenty four thousand Hertz
1:58
I can't hear five Hertz maybe you can
2:01
I'm skeptical that you can but who knows
2:04
and let's see so three hour charge gets
2:07
you seven hours of playtime which is
2:10
pretty good and here's the thing is that
2:12
while we're talking about sound they
2:14
sound good they don't sound great
2:17
now they definitely sound better come
2:20
with a bunch of ear tips they sound
2:21
better if you get the right ear tips in
2:23
so
2:24
as with anything that has multiple ear
2:27
tips you really want to take a few
2:29
minutes to try different sizes to get
2:31
the ones that work best for your ears
2:33
and your ear canals now in addition to
2:36
coming with three other sizes then the
2:38
default comes with a little carrying bag
2:40
and it charges through microUSB so they
2:43
include a little micro USB cable
2:45
whatever micro USB I have hundreds of
2:47
these cables that's actually a
2:49
convenience now what else can I tell you
2:51
is the finish on them it's very nice
2:54
they did a really nice job with the
2:56
engineering this big honkin tag of
2:58
course I would cut this off if I was
3:00
going to actually use them on a daily
3:01
basis you will cut them off I'm sure and
3:04
then in terms of the colors this is
3:06
their blue and it just makes me think of
3:08
Hot Wheels it's kind of cheery it's a
3:10
nice shiny blue which I like so not much
3:15
else to talk about other than to simply
3:16
ask if you don't mind that you click on
3:19
the subscribe button and if this is
3:21
helpful I sure appreciate those thumbs
3:23
up cool now all that's left to talk
3:26
about is the price so these are blue
3:29
they also come in black or silver and
3:31
these audio technica Wireless in-ear ath
3:35
ck r3 v bt it's a lot run u 69 bucks at
3:41
amazon.com and I think that's a pretty
3:44
good deal there are probably other
3:46
headphones or in-ear headphones or
3:49
earbuds whatever that you want to call
3:50
them there's others that are in that
3:52
same price range but these have a nice
3:54
combination of a nice design I love the
3:57
color finishes and they're from Audio
4:00
Technica so I have confidence that
4:01
they're gonna last a super long time so
4:04
I say check it out and you might find
4:07
these to be pretty cool as a pair of
4:09
earphones for you this is Dave Taylor
4:11
