should these be your neck sports
0:01
headphones let's check about Dave tail
0:11
here and I'm looking at audio gear again
0:13
this time I'm looking at these these are
0:16
the sole ss-19 sports headphones from
0:19
smart homie and they're pretty
0:22
interesting there as you can see pretty
0:25
big in terms of the actual ear piece but
0:28
they are Wireless so they're running
0:29
bluetooth 4.2 and you can pair with up
0:32
to two devices which is handy but
0:35
they're designed really for use in the
0:37
gym so it's slightly tricky figuring out
0:41
the motion of getting it on your ear but
0:44
there's one and then here's the other
0:48
one
0:48
and the wire itself is actually flexible
0:52
and but stiff so you can actually sort
0:55
of adjust it to just the way you like
0:57
and then you have the inline controls
1:00
here's close-up of what they look like
1:02
but they're a little high up for my
1:04
taste I wish they were a little further
1:06
down but they give you three buttons and
1:09
those three buttons give you a ton of
1:11
different options so with the three
1:13
buttons and take this off with the three
1:15
buttons that gives you volume up and
1:17
down track forward and backward pause
1:19
and play and if you get a phone call it
1:22
has a built-in microphone and it's a
1:23
great location for the mic so it
1:26
actually gives you hang up or take the
1:28
phone call options all right there in
1:30
that little control so super convenient
1:32
and the phone calls sound really good
1:36
we'll come back to that in a second
1:37
though so it's a two hour charge gives
1:40
you six hours of playtime so that's not
1:42
bad and they have soul insists or tells
1:46
us that they have eight millimeter
1:48
dynamic neodymium drivers in here okay
1:52
and it comes with four different size of
1:55
ear tips and as with all devices that go
1:57
in your ear it's always important to
2:00
find the right size because it makes a
2:02
huge difference in the sound now let's
2:05
talk about the sound because I've
2:06
covered pretty much all the other specs
2:08
well alright comes with a little
2:10
convenient carrying pouch and a
2:13
micro USB charger and a little clip if
2:17
you're the kind of person that wants to
2:18
clip it but of course you can also have
2:20
it in the front or you can just do it
2:21
behind your head neck and have it work
2:25
that way work perfectly well in either
2:27
configuration you would probably if
2:30
you're gonna use it for a lot of phone
2:31
calls I might try both positions and see
2:34
which one actually the other person
2:36
reports sounding good which gets us to
2:38
the sound and I gotta say I was a little
2:41
underwhelmed by the sound I know these
2:44
are budget sport headphones and I know
2:46
they're sweat proof and they have other
2:47
characteristics that make them cool but
2:50
there's just no richness or soundstage
2:54
or anything yes they have bass yes they
2:57
have various frequencies and it's very
2:59
listenable but from a perspective of
3:01
listening to music if you're sitting
3:03
somewhere quiet and you're gonna listen
3:05
to these I think you might be
3:06
disappointed now if you're in the gym
3:09
and it's an inspirational audiobook or
3:11
you're just listening to your favorite
3:13
rap or hip-hop music then jamming it up
3:15
and getting on those weight systems and
3:17
stuff it's probably gonna work great
3:19
these are gonna probably be really good
3:21
for run or something but in terms of
3:24
just their ability to reproduce audio
3:26
it's a little less than maybe you'd want
3:29
so you know if you're getting these make
3:32
sure you're getting them as sports
3:33
headphones because that's really what
3:35
they're designed for now not much else
3:37
to talk about other than the price but
3:39
before we get there let me ask go ahead
3:41
and click on that subscribe button I
3:43
really appreciate that you can subscribe
3:45
to my channel now all this left these
3:48
soul ss-19 sports headphones will put
3:52
you back 39.99 at amazon.com that's
3:57
pretty reasonable pricing so they're
3:59
nicely packaged the Box definitely makes
4:02
it feel like it's a more expensive gift
4:04
if that's important to you and while
4:07
there's not a big rich audiophile level
4:10
sound it's certainly quite enough it's
4:13
good enough sound that it'll work great
4:15
in the gym or on a run or a bicycle ride
4:18
or something although I recommend any
4:20
time you're exercising outside you want
4:22
to be aware of your surroundings too so
4:24
don't go too deep in
4:26
to your music that's a little handy
4:27
safety tip anyway this is Dave Taylor
4:30
and I'll catch you in the next video
