everybody's doing it one plus buds truly wireless earbuds from oneplus
they are not active noise cancelling so they're more analogous to google pixel
buds or original aeropods than they are to
airpods pro or like sony w h
xm3s or whatever those are called they're simple
you can see they look like the google
pixel buds in the case anyway pretty similar size
i'm happy with this case size it's not too big it's not tiny but it's
pretty good uh looks like there's an indicator light that could be for the case itself
there's no internal indicator light sometimes like on the google pixel buds for example
there's light that shows the charge of the case and then there's a light that shows the
charge of the actual earbuds but this doesn't have
that um yep they're airpod clones
okay i mean what did you expect really
i don't know how i'd feel about that though because
it's like an uncanny valley thing people are going to be like oh you're wearing air pods uh
they look different those aren't are those airpods no they're not they're one
plus buds and people like okay uh so i'd rather
just have a design that was just its own unique thing funnily enough in their product guide
that they sent us they specifically say that they have a unique design that is
reminiscent of other oneplus design language notably
the bullets wireless so they're saying if they look like anything
they look like bullets wireless they definitely don't look like airpods
yeah right one plus come on little
eggshell thing again exactly like the google pixel box set your music free
enjoy your new buds buddy boy says user
guide safety information how do i not have head explode how is
baby farmed this is boxed empty now little usb cable
uh red on the inside little oneplus flare where you use that it actually
looks pretty cool on the inside of a usbc because the color wraps all the way around
that's kind of cool and you've got the uh embossed kind of oneplus iconography
there neat custom touch area these are capacitive
you can swipe on this little silver portion there cool look at that usbc and the
pairing button is on the case which i prefer really similar to the pixel buds in that
they have two different kind of pairing setups depending on what device you're using
so if you're using a regular Android phone in my case a pixel
uh it's just gonna be like any Android device or any
bluetooth headphones you're gonna have to go into your bluetooth menu
and find the headphones and then pair it don't make this mistake you do that
while they're still in the case okay if you oh god no if you put them
in your ears and then try to pair it's not gonna work
now if you have a newer oneplus device you have to have a six or greater
then you get the special experience in that case you just open it
and just like the pixel buds you're gonna see a notification come up on your
home screen you tap that you're paired and it's magical james is one plus buds
what because i connected these to my phone before they're just permanently
named james's oneplus buds like i already forgot them on my device
so what why won't they rename brandon's
one plus buttons is that actually how it's gonna be for everybody for all time what if you buy
these from a stranger please before you buy these rename your
device mr poopoo head so that when you resell these later on
or hand them down to your little brother they're called
mr poo poo heads one plus buds you know i'm pretty sure these have a factory
reset and so you can i'm sure you can get them back to normal but all right repair with
my phone again
this can't be right
i'm reading about the controls and it's like double tap the left or right bud
to play the next song by default for one
plus six and newer customers you can customize the double tap
function of the left bud or the right bud to perform different tasks like
play and pause and next track and previous okay
the word the words matter here people it doesn't say you can customize the
controls it says you can customize the double tap function
to whatever action you want hold on a second does this mean what i think it
means okay there's music playing single tap
nothing happened double tap
next song swipe
nothing triple tap next song
it just registered as a double tap long press nothing's happening
these only support double tap what
i can't even compute this that is so stupid
why are they even touch why not just have a button why not even
why even have a button why not have one of those like sliding toggles on a spring that just goes
because it only has one function that's insane
you can double tap but you can't just tap
i can't pause i mean
that pauses and that's actually pretty responsive
pause play but like
i don't want to do that every time and what if i want to go back to the last song
and forget about volume controls forget about the google assistant
this is insane what were they thinking
who even cares what they sound like why would you buy these that
is junk have these guys made products before that is insane
okay i'm
just i'm gonna pretend that i don't know that and i'm just going to
continue the unboxing editing that the chime doesn't sound very
premium it's kind of like generic james
is one plus buds 100 left 100 right 60 case battery similarly
to the pixel buds and others there's kind of an integrated little mini app just in the settings which is
cool this is way pared down uh hd audio aac
on and off phone calls on and off media audio on and off contact sharing
not for me oneplus not today no permission for you
so not a lot of features there uh but it does have
find this device
it's ringing that's cool and actually that was way more reliable
and faster than the pixel buds which like took time to get going and ramp up
in volume so that's not too bad now what i understand
from reading the instructions and stuff is that if you have a oneplus device
again a six or newer then you'll actually see more options in
here those are gonna support dolby atmos which i don't really
understand on headphones or the phone but anyway they will uh after
an over there update which is gonna come a week after this video they're also gonna
support being able to change the controls now you get to customize
what the double tap does you as far as i can tell do not get to
specify what tap for this a triple tap for that
you just get to say instead of going next song on my double tap i want pause
on my double tap what the hell all right let's
let's uh let's give him a shot listening wise right after this message from our

at the link in the video description so check them out
and you know when you're on canadian internet you can see the american prices
that's what i use it for i will be surprised if these sound like
decent let's start with something bassy california
knows how to party let's try something
with some really harsh guitars
well they're in there
ah they go they go loud enough that's for sure okay
they sound okay they're not great they're not outstanding they're not
that bassy they're a little bit bright i noticed that the highs like a
high guitar solo in the song the pot by tool one of my favorite songs ever
uh could be pretty fatiguing they kind of just stand out and
ah not great um but
you know these these do not cost
180 or 160 like the other
google and apple earphones i was comparing them to these are 80
so i can't have too high of expectations
and they basically sound like they're 80 i think
at the 80 price point they're okay value
um because just because of the case and
everything like that they do sound like basically the all those earphones that are reviewed in my
review of 50 earphones under 100 they're just pretty basic i am tempted
to say that sound wise they're worth maybe only 50 bucks but when you
consider that i guess they have this okay design
even though it kind of hurts my ears and there's no like
um fins or any adjustability on here you kind of just get what you get and you
hope that they work for you um but considering that they are designed and considering that they have
this case with usbc fast charging and everything i
think 80 bucks is 80 bucks is okay speaking of
the charging this is a 430 milliamp hour case each of these
buds i believe is 35 milliamp hours and they advertise 30 hours of battery
life uh all told so that would be i think a full
charge on the earbuds and maybe three additional charges from the case
um from that 30 hours you're gonna get seven ish hours of music playback on the
buds themselves then once this is depleted you can
charge it up to full in about 80 minutes but if you charge for just 10 minutes
they say that you can get 10 hours of juice out of it
however on the page there's also this little speck that
says that 10 minutes gets you just 100 minutes on the buds
so i stared at this for a while and i think what it's saying is that
let's say this stuff is all dead you plug it in for 10 minutes
okay you've just gotten 10 hours of
battery from the whole system but like if you
unplug it after 10 minutes and walk away and put these in your ears you're only gonna have 100 minutes on the buds
because you can get power from the wall to this case
faster than you can get power from this case to the buds
see what i'm saying so 10 minutes charging in here then wait for a bit
while this charges the buds and all told you'll have 10 hours
i think these are available in white and gray and
nord blue which i think looks pretty garish
they also have ipx4
water resistance or ingress protection the x means
they're not rated for dust and the four means that they can handle splashes of
water and sweat and basic stuff like that don't wear
them in the shower don't go swimming in them but sweat your butt off if you have to
you know they also advertise environmental noise cancellation which
is not active noise cancellation nor is it noise isolation
it actually has nothing to do with how they sound this uh
little marketing spec is for the microphones of which there are three
on each earbud pretty impressive and now i'm going to
take a little video to show you what that sounds like
hello it's me again but from a crappier camera
and probably worst audio but is it good
enough audio since it's headphones they also have bluetooth five
they advertise 10 meters of range and they have something called fanatic mode
which gets the latency down to 103 milliseconds
uh i don't know how you initiate fnatic mode or if it's just always on
but this is supposed to help you have synced audio between
the video you're watching on your phone and the voice you're hearing in yours
because there's nothing worse than seeing the mouth that moves out of
the sync with the voice that make that work so that's about it
for these things i don't know if you get a deal on these
like if you buy the phone and maybe they you get a discount i think
they're fine um it's weird because i don't even call
like the real air pods or the real or pixel buds like high-end audio but they
sound a lot better than these um these are pretty much
your run-of-the-mill like random chinese
amazon truly wireless earbuds but in a kind of prettier package
um so yeah they're fine if you want
truly wireless earbuds you don't have any they're 80 bucks okay so thanks for
watching guys if you haven't seen the unboxing we did for the google pixel buds the other day
on this channel check that out if you're interested in more audiophile grade
stuff check out the hemp headphones from grado that we looked at the other week so you know
this is a good fidget toy that's why i'm not allowed to have one
