1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,799 with the buds 3 Pro Samsung has radically changed the design of the 2 00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:11,120 earbuds from being stemless which just kind of sat in the folder re ear to 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:19,080 essentially the airpods or airpods Pro Design with a stem but is this a good 4 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:22,119 decision lots to talk about here wow 5 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:24,279 they uh they went full cyber truck with 6 00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:27,640 these ones very angular very steel looking I would say very cool you see 7 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,679 that light that just turned on and thankfully the case does not have this 8 00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,800 weird soft touch that the buds 2 Pros had like look it you can actually see it 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,000 peeling off there and the parts that aren't peeled off they feel like it's a 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:46,199 deteriorating plastic like it's going to come off on my finger or something or I could scratch it off yeah it's so easily 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:52,320 scratched this does not have longevity and you know long live the king the king 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,280 is dead this one in the box we have this 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,600 little case this little piece of 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:02,120 paper we have a USB-C Toc cable that is 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,920 this long looks like it's like 3 ft does not come with an adapter in the Box for 16 00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:10,840 charging I recommend getting outlets on the wall that have USBC on them nothing 17 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:15,400 worse than going to charge your phone and there's just the it's the brick is 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,759 gone why kind of a fit guide and a quick start guide and that's all well and good 19 00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:23,680 but I want to look at the industrial design of these things it's interesting because as the largest brand on the 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,799 Android side Samsung really can you know 21 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,200 set Trends and be like the apple of Android or they could just be the apple 22 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,439 of Android and copy what Apple does H I 23 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,600 like to hope that the reason they went for this stem design was for a practical 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,720 engineering reason I like to hope that it's because putting the microphone 25 00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:46,880 close ever so slightly closer to your mouth and pointing it in orientation to 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,280 pick up sounds from your mouth was going to give them higher mic quality than 27 00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:55,680 they could previously achieve on these ones that just do not have a stem at all 28 00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:00,119 and if that's the case you know they could just be acknowledging Apple kind 29 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,439 of nailed it they did it right with this design it is better to have the stem for 30 00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:10,080 that reason for an engineering purpose or they could have just gone hey people 31 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:15,519 like airpods but you have an Android phone so uh just buy our 32 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,319 airpods I guess either either approach is valid you can see that for the cases 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,800 themselves they also pretty much copied the airpods you got a single light here 34 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:28,640 you got the charging ports on the bottom you have the a pairing button Samsung 35 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,360 put theirs on the bottom you've got the hinges like look at the that really does 36 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,879 look similar the case for the Samsungs is larger and has a clear top whether 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:43,080 you get this in white or cyber truck steel looking gray the case is clear on 38 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,920 the top I don't know how durable that's going to be it might get scuffed and 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,400 scratched up even your pocket with keys or coins um but right now out of the box 40 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,879 it looks slick the other cool thing about this case is that it has flat 41 00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:00,040 areas so it it can stand it can stand any which 42 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,519 way you've got left and right indicator on the front here as well as on the bottom of the stem orange for the right 43 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:08,319 side blue for the left side the buds themselves they've differentiated 44 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,760 themselves at least visually from the airpods in that they're angular pretty 45 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,760 cool there's a slight Ridge along the top of this to give it some kind of 46 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,560 Dimension there's also a legend indicating this is the left one there's 47 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,560 an L there seems to be printed on and not like embossed or anything I can't 48 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,959 feel any texture to that little r you've got a vent on the top some holes for 49 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,280 microphones these silicone ear tips have caused some people some problems let's 50 00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:36,239 see that's what it looks like inverted and if I pop it off of there ooh it's 51 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,840 some resistance oh my gosh this is actually 52 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,760 not squishy this looks non-standard compared to let's say the tips that come 53 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:53,879 with the cmf buds that I just looked at this is rigid and fits around this 54 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,560 driver and Pops back on there okay on to 55 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,799 line it up and goes easily and I believe some other media who have received these 56 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,959 uh have ripped these ear tips while while trying to pull them off that may 57 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:11,120 be the cause of a delay in shipping of these two retailers fitting them into 58 00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:14,959 the case there appears to be some magnet 59 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:19,120 action very satisfying case sound is 60 00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,160 good the the tactile feel it really 61 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,560 feels like it clicks open and I didn't mention the LED light that goes along 62 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,280 the length of this thinnest Edge that is 63 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:33,880 pretty cool and potentially useful if you're trying to find these things if you drop drop them in the couch or 64 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,520 something like that on top of the other feature of it just beeping when you're 65 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,479 looking for them which many earphones have I want to hear how they sound and 66 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:45,000 share some performance graphs right away so let's get these paired they do come 67 00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,880 with multiple ear tips small and large separately here but I feel like the 68 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:54,199 medium's good for me this content's not authorized the 69 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:59,120 is that damn this song was too hot for 70 00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:02,720 TV oh yeah these sound good these sound 71 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,360 good let's turn them up oh how loud do 72 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:12,280 they go that's plenty loud they're getting a little sient up 73 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,360 here they're in the ears 74 00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,960 though they sound pretty good they sound pretty natural although they're a little 75 00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:22,560 thumpy in the base and that is also 76 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,000 exactly what we saw in the Labs testing 77 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:30,600 you can see that the green curve follows our dotted Target curve pretty closely 78 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:36,039 from the mids up through the treble but in the base it's a little 79 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:40,520 overcooked however I would say that that's actually probably the smartest 80 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:45,680 move that Samsung can make a lot of people prefer a little extra Bas and you 81 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:50,440 can just EQ this out if you if you want it to sound even more natural they sound 82 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:54,919 exciting and and Punchy um one thing to note though is they do not have volume 83 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:59,280 dependent EQ which means that when you turn the volume down they do not turn 84 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,639 the Basse up which lots of earphones do because our human hearing is less 85 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,919 sensitive to base at lower volumes these just they keep it raw baby we also have 86 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,840 some measurements for the active noise cancelling performance on this graph you 87 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,039 can see the white line is if you're just not wearing the headphones at all the 88 00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:19,800 green line is the isolation get from just putting them in your ears passive 89 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,560 isolation and the red line is if you turn active noise cancelling on so you 90 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:29,639 can see from 800 to 5,000 khz there's not a lot of change between ANC on and 91 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,639 passive isolation but lower down you get a lot more of an effect from the active 92 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,319 noise cancelling next I'm going to test out the swiping controls and the pinch 93 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:41,080 controls on the stem as well as doing a mic test right after this message from 94 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,680 our sponsor motion gray their sitto stand desk coming a wide variety of 95 00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:48,400 models and sizes with easy to follow instructions and all the tools you need 96 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,680 for assembly included right in the Box check out the Ergo 2 series one of the 97 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,960 most affordable desks of its type on the market with a two segment frame and a 98 00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:01,199 quiet but powerful single motor it has a height adjustment range of 28 to 46 in 99 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:05,440 and supports up to 176 lb of weight that's 80 kg for those of you who use 100 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,720 the good system pick one up using our Link in the description and use code 101 00:07:06,919 --> 00:07:13,440 Linus for 10% off your purchase there's a capacitive swipe along the length of 102 00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:16,919 the stem but then in a shorter segment of the stem near the bottom you can 103 00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:20,400 actually do a tactile like pinch so let's see how well that works okay this 104 00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:25,400 interface takes some getting used to it's like you're trying to imagine you're trying to like pick up a pyramid 105 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,680 like it's really sticky it's like that Parton kungpow and they have the pyramid 106 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,280 nipples nobody's seen that to make the button press happen with with a pinch 107 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:36,319 you actually have to pinch both fingers on either side of the triangle and kind 108 00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:39,479 of pinch the tip of the blade so it actually feels kind of weird because of 109 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,680 the shape of it it's like your fingers are slipping off of it as you pinch it 110 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:47,479 works you can see the icon right here as I squeeze and there is a little sound 111 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:51,159 that accompanies The Squeeze it's like a little tick tick then for the swipe you 112 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,800 have to pick the right edge of the blade to swipe on not the front but the back 113 00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,440 which I find swiping with my thumb is the best it's great that you can 114 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:07,319 actually adjust the volume of these earphones which you can't always on 115 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,240 both up and down symmetrically very cool 116 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:12,599 but you do have to swipe a long basically the whole length of it if you 117 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,159 just swipe at the bottom it doesn't work you've got to kind of do a full body 118 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:20,800 swipe is it not working cuz it's out of my ear yes it is so it detects this is 119 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,360 capacitive up here too and it'll actually detect if it's in your head or 120 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,560 not let's do a quick mic test and after that we'll look at some of the customizability in the app all right 121 00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:33,159 this is the sound of the onboard microphones my phone is way over there 122 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,519 so you know it's coming through them and just you know what I'll take a moment to talk about the Ingress Protection ip57 123 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,399 that's pretty awesome that's the second highest level of dust Ingress Protection 124 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:47,600 but more importantly water out of seven these can go underwater up to a meter 125 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:51,360 which 3 ft for 30 minutes I am wearing these in the shower here we are in the 126 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,519 app and you can see there's different settings for different noise cancelling 127 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,399 there's off there's Ambient sound where you hear what's around you including 128 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,560 your own voice there's active noise cancelling and then there's this Co tool one in the middle which is adaptive 129 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:06,959 where it will actually crank up and down the active noise cancelling according to 130 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:11,000 your environment so if you're in acquired environment it turns it down to 131 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,880 reduce that feeling of pressure in your ears but if you walk by construction 132 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,600 site it'll turn it back on or if you get into a car or something like that there's also Auto switching which has 133 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:24,399 its own settings including turn on ambient mode when it detects you 134 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,240 speaking or when it detects a siren going by although you know what Sirens 135 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,399 are pretty freaking loud so I kind of want the opposite of this feature not a 136 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:36,720 lot of options for media controls when you click into this menu it actually doesn't give you any options it just 137 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:40,959 tells you what it does which is one pinch for playing pause two for next 138 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:45,920 three for back and a swipe up and down for volume you can actually turn it off 139 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:51,160 completely which is nice the one thing you can customize is what pinching and 140 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,920 holding does on left or right you can 141 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:58,399 basically cycle through the active noise cancelling settings or go to your your 142 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:02,440 assistant Bixby and then you can toggle on and off whether pinching and pinching 143 00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:06,959 and hold answers and declines calls there's also because there's these cool 144 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:10,480 light bars on the blades or stems controls for that so when they're out of 145 00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:15,360 the case and not in your ears and you pinch and hold you will get battery 146 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:20,120 meter okay that's just white does that mean that it's like halfway and what 147 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:23,200 does this mean blinking fade in Fade Out I don't know when it does these things 148 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:28,079 but it's cool there's options trial and error guys stand in a mirror and mess 149 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,320 with it next stretch remers what the hell is that if you hunch over your 150 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:36,399 phone or desk your head tends to lean forward which can cause back and neck 151 00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:40,320 health issues your earbuds can detect your head position and notify you when 152 00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:46,360 you bent your head forward for 10 minutes this actually might save our 153 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:51,600 planet this is kind of sick oh God it wants me to calibrate it Jesus look 154 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600 forward with your head 155 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,839 level we did it okay I couldn't actually find how to get to this menu but using 156 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,519 the search function I typed in equalizer and here we are I'm actually quite happy 157 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:07,120 with how many knobs they give you what is that nine they have some presets this 158 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:12,079 clear one that cranks the base down a bit might be the outof The boox Equalizer that gets you closest to 159 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,399 neutral but and look and this toggle that's already on by default is adjust 160 00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:19,279 the sound automatically to deliver the best audio based on your ear shape and 161 00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:22,200 how you're wearing your buds works best when both your buds are in your ears 162 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,279 with a consistent fit I will say when I was doing the adjustments and testing 163 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,839 this interface they kind of popped out real easy so I actually might want to go 164 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:35,279 into the larger silicone tips to get a real tight seal now for battery life 165 00:11:32,839 --> 00:11:41,560 claims the milliamp hour capacity of this case is 515 the buds is 53 how long 166 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:47,920 will that actually last you with A and C off 7 hours on the buds 30 hours all 167 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,920 told with it on 6 hours on the buds 26 168 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,120 hours including everything and that actually is an improvement from last 169 00:11:51,079 --> 00:11:58,000 year where these things only lasted about 5 hours in your ears withc on so 170 00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:59,440 an extra hour definitely appreciated one 171 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,560 thing that is unchanged from last last time around is that the multi-point 172 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:07,839 connectivity where you seamlessly can go from your phone to your other device is 173 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,959 only for Samsung you can go from your Samsung phone or pad or Dex or whatever 174 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:17,240 very seamlessly but if you're going from your phone to your Windows laptop or your MacBook or something like that no 175 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:21,720 such luck they're trying to lock you in with their ecosystem I don't like that stuff that's 176 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:27,800 baloney it should just work with everybody but I see what you're trying to do there Android Apple for the price 177 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:32,000 they are $250 which is the same as the airpods pro um but cheaper than some 178 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:36,480 devices you might see from Sony or maybe Bose I think it is a reasonable price 179 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:41,199 the build quality is really great the sound is very good and neutral um if you 180 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,760 want to pay less 180 bucks for the non-pro variant but do note that they're 181 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:49,720 a little different they're not in ear like this they're more like airpods where they kind of sit on the outside U 182 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:55,800 which you may pref prefer but I don't have that in front of me so I don't know guys it seems like there's a good reason 183 00:12:52,880 --> 00:13:00,079 to have the stem no knock against it of course more competition and more 184 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:03,920 diversity of designs in are Universe seems like a good thing but if it works 185 00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:07,560 it works let us know in the comments what you think on this is this a cop out 186 00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:12,160 so thanks for watching guys if you like this video you want to check out some other stuff from Samsung Adam was 187 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,680 looking at their new watch go take a look
