It's a wicked concept: in-ear headphones (alright, "earbuds") where the cord lights up from the music as you jam out to your favorite groove. As it get dark, your flashing cords are the talk of your entourage, and in your favorite color too, whether it's orange, red, purple, green or blue. Ever better, the Night Rhythm headphones have a smart over-ear clip design that'll keep them on your head even when you're shakin' it!
Except as tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ finds out when he auditions them, the reality isn't quite what you'd hope for from modern audio gear. Watch the review, you'll find out what the trade-offs are with the Night Rhythm Neon Glow Headphones.

headphones with a light up cable let me
0:02
show you how they

0:13
work Dave Taylor here again and this
0:15
time I'm looking at the night Rhythm
0:17
headphones and I don't know if you can
0:19
tell but they actually the cable is
0:22
lighting up in time to the music so let
0:25
me pause this for a second and that's
0:28
the whole idea of these headphones and
0:29
this this is actually a Kickstarter
0:31
campaign but the idea is that you have
0:33
these and they're little clipon earbuds
0:36
and as you're listening to music the
0:38
cable is actually lighting up to the
0:40
music now this one I have in Orange but
0:43
it also comes in red purple blue green
0:45
and white and they're pretty cool it's a
0:49
pretty cool idea and I'm sure really
0:51
dark nights this would actually be
0:52
something really startling here's just a
0:55
little clip with a little bit more
0:56
Darkness so you can see what's going on
0:59
with some music it actually looks like
1:00
you're about to trigger an epileptic
1:03
seizure that's probably in the small
1:05
print on these headphones I don't know
1:07
but the concept's really fun and you can
1:09
also put them in a mode where they're
1:11
just illuminated and a sort of slow
1:13
flashing and that's really good because
1:15
one of the issues I have with these is
1:17
that you have to have your music pretty
1:19
darn loud to be able to have it actually
1:22
react to the music and I didn't really
1:24
like that so much because they don't
1:27
sound that great they're really bright
1:30
they have a lot of Highs but even when I
1:32
went into the equalizer on my phone and
1:34
tried to push the base all the way up
1:37
there still really wasn't any Basse to
1:38
talk of and Not only was there not much
1:40
base there wasn't even much mid-range
1:42
it's a really really bright High tuned
1:46
sort of
1:47
earbud and it's too bad because the
1:50
concept's really fun and with the little
1:53
clip on it sort of a unique design
1:55
they're really quite comfortable to wear
1:57
and then you know what the company says
1:58
is that you can be dancing and doing
2:01
crazy Athletics and all sorts of stunts
2:03
and they're not going to fall out of
2:04
your ears and I'm pretty sure that's
2:06
right I didn't actually try doing a
2:08
forward flip off my roof but had I have
2:10
done so then yes they would have stayed
2:12
in my ears and speaking of crazy stunts
2:15
did you click the Subscribe button yet I
2:17
sure hope you will ah there you go thank
2:20
you appreciate that now so you know
2:24
night Rhythm headphones Kickstarter
2:26
campaign bunch of different colors um
2:28
the color actually the illumination
2:30
comes from this little unit in the
2:32
middle which gives you some microphone
2:34
abilities and some controls over the
2:37
music with a pause play but it also has
2:40
a little battery in it and the battery
2:42
is actually what powers the illumination
2:44
on the cable and so that means that you
2:47
have to charge this thing and when it's
2:49
fully charged you get 3 hours of
2:52
Illuminating cable so it's again really
2:56
cool concept and I think if this is
2:58
something that really appealed to you
3:00
like you know late at night you want to
3:02
be in the dark room and you want to have
3:04
this illuminated or you want to go for a
3:06
night run this could be helpful um
3:09
you're limited to 3 hours so if you want
3:11
to run some crazy long 5 hours in the
3:14
middle of the night this is not going to
3:15
make it that far but then again what
3:17
does it mean to last 3 hours is that
3:19
three Illuminating hours or is that 3
3:21
hours total of it being on haven't been
3:24
able to test that so that might be
3:25
something to find out if you're really
3:27
interested in that otherwise it has 20
3:30
to 20,000 hertz frequency response like
3:33
I said um these are not the sound that I
3:36
like but they might work great for you
3:38
and I will say that they probably work
3:40
really well for the kind of music that
3:41
has a lot of treble a lot of high range
3:45
but if you're like my teenagers and
3:47
you're waiting for that great drop
3:49
you're not going to hear it on these
3:51
there's just not much base there at all
3:53
but having said that if this
3:55
illumination system really appeals to
3:57
you and it's like a really cool idea or
3:59
a really good present for someone then I
4:02
encourage you to check it out and what
4:03
you really want to do is you want to
4:05
check it out on Kickstarter so look for
4:07
