A lot of hype around Apple AirPods
0:02
AirPods have kind of become a meme. They're out there, they're in the wild
0:07
But there are alternatives out there. Now I've tried a few, I've tried wireless earbuds all the way down to 18 bucks
0:13
Those ones have a wire between the two earbuds themselves. So what about an alternative that's sort of more like AirPods without the AirPods price tag
0:21
That's what I'm looking at today. These ones are almost half the price, or actually exactly half the price
0:26
79 bucks, Anker Soundcore, Liberty Air. Kind of reminiscent of AirPods. Maybe they sound good, maybe they don't
0:33
You can answer phone calls, you can talk into these things. The earbuds themselves have 5 hours of play time combined with the case 20 hours
0:41
Now if you're familiar with the company Anker, if there's somebody to trust in the battery department, it's probably these guys
0:47
Nonetheless, could it be the AirPods killer? Let's go ahead and find out
0:51
Let's look at this guy. He's happy. It's a business trip. He's a traveling man
0:56
Kind of looks like Jack, actually. Is that you? put the leather bag, the coat, but the jeans
1:01
because you're still a cowboy at heart. Brokeback Mountain. Ooh, okay, not much bigger than an AirPods container
1:10
Small, medium, and large ear tips. These are the ear buds. Now I see it says touch right there So are they also touch sensitive What we do is nodding his head right now Left right you pop them out I going to go ahead and just put this in I just going to get
1:27
Ooh, okay. Pretty comfy, to be honest. Not going to fall out of my head
1:33
So when you buy them, they go straight into pairing mode. Pair it up. Okay, hang on. Let me just have a listen real quick
1:39
Please, allow me. I got no play pause there, Will
1:49
Hold on a second. It's a hold? Okay, Will's got a little update for us on the interface
1:54
You tap it twice for play pause. What else you got? Twice to answer and end phone calls
1:59
Of course, if a phone call was coming in. So it's a longer two tap to switch tracks
2:04
What was this one do? The left one is the previous track. Wow, okay, so each touch pad is doing different things
2:11
The left one is the previous track if you want to go back a song
2:15
The right one is to go forward a song. The right one is play, pause, answer phone calls
2:20
The left one can launch Google Assistant. Wow! As you can see here, I'll double tap and the song will begin playing
2:38
Okay that a little Pink Floyd I going to reserve my feedback here I gonna pick something from a different genre right quick If you don mind give me a minute here beast mode hip There you go
2:50
Mmm I want to test the range. I'm gonna walk away from the phone a little bit
3:09
The range is pretty good. Big difference between different genres of music
3:19
I went from Pink Floyd to Future. Nonetheless, they both sound good
3:23
Way more bass on the hip-hop side. As expected. AirPods don't actually really cut you off from the world
3:30
These ones are much deeper. So, you're a bit more isolated and a bit more in the music
3:36
I wish there was a bit more volume here. I thought that these could maybe deliver a little bit more
3:40
Let me just try one more track here. Rough Riders Anthem. There you go
3:47
Mmm. They do something that AirPods do not do. I think they sound better than AirPods
3:53
You're getting punched harder with these than with the AirPods, in my opinion
3:58
How was the sound bleed? Zero. You hearing nothing which is good Alright last thing I want to do I should make a phone call real quick You call me and I try to answer it right on the headset Hello
4:12
Yeah, I can hear you. Will he do? Yeah, that's me. You sound good, man
4:19
You sound a little staticky. Do I? Yeah. So I say a sentence like this and then there's leftover garbage at the end
4:28
Yeah, just a little bit. I mean, it's usable. It is. You've heard better Bluetooth headsets on this show right here
4:36
Yeah, definitely. He has. Okay. Very well. Thank you very much for the phone call, Will
4:40
You've been a tremendous help, as usual. This is the Liberty Air
4:44
It's available in black and white right out the gate, which I think a lot of people are
4:49
going to like as well. It's a nice little kit. It's a nice little package
4:53
These are half the price of Apple's product. I think Anker has another hit, potentially another hit on their hands
4:59
I think it's a decent alternative to Apple's product. That said, keep in mind, Apple's putting out the AirPods 2
5:05
The rumor is relatively soon. Those are probably going to improve on the previous version
5:10
But don't expect them to be affordable by any means. If anything, they're probably going to cost more
5:14
It's probably going to be like $200. So if you're trying to stay away from that price point, this is a good place to look
5:21
This is a good place to look. Can we end it there? I don't know, somewhere else before
