So over the years I've looked at a lot of headphones here on the channel
0:03
I'm sure you're aware of that. You've probably seen some of those videos. Nowadays it's kind of like, hey, what's it gonna take to get me excited
0:10
How is somebody gonna do something different? Today I've got a whole lot of different
0:15
The product is called Vinci Smart Headphones. You may have seen these guys on Kickstarter. They raised close to a million dollars
0:21
They put an entire display on one of the ear cups. These things can operate standalone without a smartphone
0:29
In fact, there's even a SIM card slot on here. Voice-controlled, hands-free experience
0:33
There's 16 gigabytes of local storage inside the headphones, so you can load songs right onto the headphones and leave your smartphone at home
0:40
It supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G connection, so that's what the SIM card slot is for
0:45
Now you can have a standalone Spotify or SoundCloud player, I guess
0:50
It also has activity tracking. 21 days of standby time, 26 hours of Bluetooth playback, and 10 hours if it's standalone
0:58
It also supports HD voice through LTE. So there's a lot going on
1:02
Turns out these are only 149. Now they do come in a few different colors
1:09
Have we ever had a box with this kind of coloring on it before? That is wild Okay I have no name until you name me I have no form until you shape me I don exist until you make me I am Vinci
1:25
I am waiting deep inside you. Touch my spark and let me light you. Give me life and I'll revive you
1:32
I am Vinci. Wow, that's a change of pace. One free month of wireless service with T-Mobile
1:44
Ooh, okay. Not as heavy as I expected considering there's a screen on the ear cup
1:49
This is the screen, that's the SIM card tray. Micro USB to charge it up
1:54
A mini jack connector so you could use it wired if you wanted to. That looks to be the heart rate sensor
2:00
The micro USB charge cable. Auxiliary cable to use it wired. To activate your Vinci please connect to a wifi
2:07
Okay, let's do that. Now there's also a voice assistant built in here. And since the brains are completely built in and it's not relying on your phone, it's got its own assistant
2:17
Does that make any sense, what I just said? Do you guys ever listen to what I say when I'm here? Now, you can have this always on or only when you're wearing them
2:24
I guess always on is fine. Now, there's a couple of different services that you can connect here by default
2:29
There's Spotify, SoundCloud, and Amazon Alexa. Swipe horizontally to change tracks Swipe vertically to adjust volume Tap once to pause Tap twice to save to favorites hold to talk Wi on and off there an airplane mode Bluetooth on and off It looks
2:44
like you can use this as a regular Bluetooth headset. There's a music visualizer. Ooh, look at that
2:50
Oh, you can even do your own DIY. Oh, so it's like one music service or the other, I guess
2:56
Now, what if I just want to search something on Spotify, I wonder. Play Led Zeppelin. Okay
3:00
here we go we got a song playing guys play Daft Punk
3:17
Play Wu-Tang Clan Yo these are good guys these are cool. I can see one issue being when you're offline right when you're offline
3:29
offline then you're stuck with whatever music you have loaded on here. These are cool! I didn't expect to be saying this, these are cool
3:36
It's not Google Assistant, maybe it'll get there one day. The way she talks, super robotic
3:41
These should be like Spotify branded or something because it's a very unique way of interacting with Spotify
3:47
without the need for a secondary device. I could go for a jog cell phone free Just quickly turn it down Quickly turn it up I not sure how much attention you want Like you could turn that off if you want You not gonna be bumping into people who got visualizers on their headphones
4:05
To record, please say start recording. Start recording. This is for like voice memos
4:11
You have a killer idea. You got the best idea ever. I need to put it down. I need to lay it down
4:16
Play recording. And you're like, I need to put it down. I need to lay it down. Boom
4:21
The sound is okay, like it's nothing special, it's not blowing me away
4:25
It's kind of what I would expect in this particular price range. It does take a SIM card
4:30
You can use this thing with 3G which should be plenty to stream Spotify
4:34
So Bluetooth, it functions like any other Bluetooth headset. You toggle it on or off here
4:39
The idea of putting a screen on headphones is just not something I thought would ever be necessary
4:44
But because the capacitive input is so sensitive, it's a little more smooth interacting with it when it's on your head
4:49
when compared with a bunch of buttons and switches. I'm gonna go ahead and say you should check these out
4:55
I'll drop a link down in the description. They do come in a couple of different colors
4:58
and they've got a model coming out on Kickstarter or might be active right now
5:02
Man, turn some heads. A screen on your ear cup. The future
