WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.799 with the buds 3 Pro Samsung has radically changed the design of the 00:00:03.639 --> 00:00:11.120 earbuds from being stemless which just kind of sat in the folder re ear to 00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:19.080 essentially the airpods or airpods Pro Design with a stem but is this a good 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:22.119 decision lots to talk about here wow 00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:24.279 they uh they went full cyber truck with 00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:27.640 these ones very angular very steel looking I would say very cool you see 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:31.679 that light that just turned on and thankfully the case does not have this 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 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 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 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:52.320 scratched this does not have longevity and you know long live the king the king 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.280 is dead this one in the box we have this 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:59.600 little case this little piece of 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:02.120 paper we have a USB-C Toc cable that is 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 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:10.840 charging I recommend getting outlets on the wall that have USBC on them nothing 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 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 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 00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:25.799 Android side Samsung really can you know 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.200 set Trends and be like the apple of Android or they could just be the apple 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:33.439 of Android and copy what Apple does H I 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:38.600 like to hope that the reason they went for this stem design was for a practical 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.720 engineering reason I like to hope that it's because putting the microphone 00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:46.880 close ever so slightly closer to your mouth and pointing it in orientation to 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:50.280 pick up sounds from your mouth was going to give them higher mic quality than 00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:55.680 they could previously achieve on these ones that just do not have a stem at all 00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:00.119 and if that's the case you know they could just be acknowledging Apple kind 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 00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:10.080 that reason for an engineering purpose or they could have just gone hey people 00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:15.519 like airpods but you have an Android phone so uh just buy our 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:20.319 airpods I guess either either approach is valid you can see that for the cases 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.800 themselves they also pretty much copied the airpods you got a single light here 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:28.640 you got the charging ports on the bottom you have the a pairing button Samsung 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 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.879 look similar the case for the Samsungs is larger and has a clear top whether 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:43.080 you get this in white or cyber truck steel looking gray the case is clear on 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 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 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:54.879 it looks slick the other cool thing about this case is that it has flat 00:02:52.480 --> 00:03:00.040 areas so it it can stand it can stand any which 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 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.319 side blue for the left side the buds themselves they've differentiated 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.760 themselves at least visually from the airpods in that they're angular pretty 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 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.560 Dimension there's also a legend indicating this is the left one there's 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 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 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.280 microphones these silicone ear tips have caused some people some problems let's 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 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.840 some resistance oh my gosh this is actually 00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:46.760 not squishy this looks non-standard compared to let's say the tips that come 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:53.879 with the cmf buds that I just looked at this is rigid and fits around this 00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:55.560 driver and Pops back on there okay on to 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.799 line it up and goes easily and I believe some other media who have received these 00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:04.959 uh have ripped these ear tips while while trying to pull them off that may 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:11.120 be the cause of a delay in shipping of these two retailers fitting them into 00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:14.959 the case there appears to be some magnet 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:19.120 action very satisfying case sound is 00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.160 good the the tactile feel it really 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.560 feels like it clicks open and I didn't mention the LED light that goes along 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:28.280 the length of this thinnest Edge that is 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 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.520 something like that on top of the other feature of it just beeping when you're 00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:40.479 looking for them which many earphones have I want to hear how they sound and 00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:45.000 share some performance graphs right away so let's get these paired they do come 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:48.880 with multiple ear tips small and large separately here but I feel like the 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:54.199 medium's good for me this content's not authorized the 00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:59.120 is that damn this song was too hot for 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:02.720 TV oh yeah these sound good these sound 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.360 good let's turn them up oh how loud do 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:12.280 they go that's plenty loud they're getting a little sient up 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.360 here they're in the ears 00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:18.960 though they sound pretty good they sound pretty natural although they're a little 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:22.560 thumpy in the base and that is also 00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.000 exactly what we saw in the Labs testing 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:30.600 you can see that the green curve follows our dotted Target curve pretty closely 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:36.039 from the mids up through the treble but in the base it's a little 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:40.520 overcooked however I would say that that's actually probably the smartest 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:45.680 move that Samsung can make a lot of people prefer a little extra Bas and you 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 00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:54.919 exciting and and Punchy um one thing to note though is they do not have volume 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:59.280 dependent EQ which means that when you turn the volume down they do not turn 00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.639 the Basse up which lots of earphones do because our human hearing is less 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:07.919 sensitive to base at lower volumes these just they keep it raw baby we also have 00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:11.840 some measurements for the active noise cancelling performance on this graph you 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 00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:19.800 green line is the isolation get from just putting them in your ears passive 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.560 isolation and the red line is if you turn active noise cancelling on so you 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 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:32.639 passive isolation but lower down you get a lot more of an effect from the active 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:36.319 noise cancelling next I'm going to test out the swiping controls and the pinch 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:41.080 controls on the stem as well as doing a mic test right after this message from 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:44.680 our sponsor motion gray their sitto stand desk coming a wide variety of 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:48.400 models and sizes with easy to follow instructions and all the tools you need 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.680 for assembly included right in the Box check out the Ergo 2 series one of the 00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:55.960 most affordable desks of its type on the market with a two segment frame and a 00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:01.199 quiet but powerful single motor it has a height adjustment range of 28 to 46 in 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 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.720 the good system pick one up using our Link in the description and use code 00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:13.440 Linus for 10% off your purchase there's a capacitive swipe along the length of 00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:16.919 the stem but then in a shorter segment of the stem near the bottom you can 00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:20.400 actually do a tactile like pinch so let's see how well that works okay this 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 00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:28.680 like it's really sticky it's like that Parton kungpow and they have the pyramid 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.280 nipples nobody's seen that to make the button press happen with with a pinch 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:36.319 you actually have to pinch both fingers on either side of the triangle and kind 00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:39.479 of pinch the tip of the blade so it actually feels kind of weird because of 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 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 00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:51.159 that accompanies The Squeeze it's like a little tick tick then for the swipe you 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 00:07:53.280 --> 00:08:00.440 which I find swiping with my thumb is the best it's great that you can 00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:07.319 actually adjust the volume of these earphones which you can't always on 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.240 both up and down symmetrically very cool 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:12.599 but you do have to swipe a long basically the whole length of it if you 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 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 00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:24.360 capacitive up here too and it'll actually detect if it's in your head or 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 00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:33.159 this is the sound of the onboard microphones my phone is way over there 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 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:42.399 that's pretty awesome that's the second highest level of dust Ingress Protection 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:47.600 but more importantly water out of seven these can go underwater up to a meter 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 00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:55.519 app and you can see there's different settings for different noise cancelling 00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:58.399 there's off there's Ambient sound where you hear what's around you including 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 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:06.959 where it will actually crank up and down the active noise cancelling according to 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:11.000 your environment so if you're in acquired environment it turns it down to 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.880 reduce that feeling of pressure in your ears but if you walk by construction 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 00:09:17.800 --> 00:09:24.399 its own settings including turn on ambient mode when it detects you 00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:28.240 speaking or when it detects a siren going by although you know what Sirens 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.399 are pretty freaking loud so I kind of want the opposite of this feature not a 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 00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:40.959 tells you what it does which is one pinch for playing pause two for next 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 00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:51.160 completely which is nice the one thing you can customize is what pinching and 00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:52.920 holding does on left or right you can 00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:58.399 basically cycle through the active noise cancelling settings or go to your your 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:02.440 assistant Bixby and then you can toggle on and off whether pinching and pinching 00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.959 and hold answers and declines calls there's also because there's these cool 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:10.480 light bars on the blades or stems controls for that so when they're out of 00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:15.360 the case and not in your ears and you pinch and hold you will get battery 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:20.120 meter okay that's just white does that mean that it's like halfway and what 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 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 00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:32.320 with it next stretch remers what the hell is that if you hunch over your 00:10:29.880 --> 00:10:36.399 phone or desk your head tends to lean forward which can cause back and neck 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:40.320 health issues your earbuds can detect your head position and notify you when 00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:46.360 you bent your head forward for 10 minutes this actually might save our 00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:51.600 planet this is kind of sick oh God it wants me to calibrate it Jesus look 00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:51.600 forward with your head 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 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:02.519 the search function I typed in equalizer and here we are I'm actually quite happy 00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:07.120 with how many knobs they give you what is that nine they have some presets this 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 00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:15.399 neutral but and look and this toggle that's already on by default is adjust 00:11:13.839 --> 00:11:19.279 the sound automatically to deliver the best audio based on your ear shape and 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:22.200 how you're wearing your buds works best when both your buds are in your ears 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.279 with a consistent fit I will say when I was doing the adjustments and testing 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.839 this interface they kind of popped out real easy so I actually might want to go 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:35.279 into the larger silicone tips to get a real tight seal now for battery life 00:11:32.839 --> 00:11:41.560 claims the milliamp hour capacity of this case is 515 the buds is 53 how long 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 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:49.920 told with it on 6 hours on the buds 26 00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:52.120 hours including everything and that actually is an improvement from last 00:11:51.079 --> 00:11:58.000 year where these things only lasted about 5 hours in your ears withc on so 00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:59.440 an extra hour definitely appreciated one 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:02.560 thing that is unchanged from last last time around is that the multi-point 00:12:01.040 --> 00:12:07.839 connectivity where you seamlessly can go from your phone to your other device is 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.959 only for Samsung you can go from your Samsung phone or pad or Dex or whatever 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 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 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 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:32.000 they are $250 which is the same as the airpods pro um but cheaper than some 00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:36.480 devices you might see from Sony or maybe Bose I think it is a reasonable price 00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:41.199 the build quality is really great the sound is very good and neutral um if you 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 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 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 00:12:52.880 --> 00:13:00.079 to have the stem no knock against it of course more competition and more 00:12:57.560 --> 00:13:03.920 diversity of designs in are Universe seems like a good thing but if it works 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
