it doesn't happen often but every once in a while a sponsor will approach us to
do a video for them we'll deliver it and they will absolutely hate it and
refuse to pay usually those videos end up lost in the
archives forever never to see the light of day but today is a special day
because doppler Labs makers of the here1
and the agency that actually contracted
us to do this video you're about to watch both either completely went out of
business or got acquired by some other controlling interest
so then without further ado i present to you
banned commercials from the archives
looking for an affordable and reliable vpn private internet access encrypts
your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip check it out today through
the link below okay so here's the problem it is
impossible to get anything done in here
i put up this sign but the only effect it seems to have is
that instead of people walking right in
they kind of point at the sign wave at me and then
walk right in anyhow so clearly
something has to be done here
okay so now we've got earphones in
so this this is the isolation zone
okay so construction's done now the last thing
that's left then is to get third party independent validation of my do not
disturb zone so dennis you're first i'll just
summarize so what we've done is we've added light blocking material to the
Windows we've added an acoustic dampening material above the ceiling tiles in the
room to prevent sound bleeding and sound reflections
and around the monitor itself we've added a foil blinder but
the one piece that we didn't
you know really have to install is these so these are the doppler Labs
here one noise canceling earphones
i think the sound might still be the issue because you only put the thing on
in the ceiling but the doors you can hear some stuff
like i can already hear with my own just talking it sounds like something is
happening up there or not happening as it were so i'm optimistic okay yeah
if i think this setup of all this stuff that you put around randomly in your
office is going to work yeah no
so dennis i'm just talking from like right kind of next to you on the
other side how would you describe the isolation
no i i can't hear you
it sounds about the same sounds about the same from here yeah i hear more
things okay now point back at him
okay dennis how's the isolation i can't still hear you you can still hear me
okay well i can hear you less because you're outside it sounds like there's a
wall between the two of us did you turn it on yeah would you do would you say
the results are kind of disappointing man all that's fine
because this is the kind of the hahaha moment
the last ingredient of the whole solution is actually the
most important in my hand here
rare earth magnets
what these are are incredibly strong magnets here try
it try and peel it off
see anyway they're really strong magnets oh yeah
they're pretty strong so those are definitely rare earth magnets um by
positioning them around you i should be able
to have an effect on what you hear okay what
i'm serious is it because the magnafill thing i'm gonna put one of them here
one of them goes behind the monitor but out of your line of sight can you see
this i can okay uh how about now no i can't okay uh
if i talk like this do you hear any difference i don't know if i can tell nothing okay
let me check the angle here okay i'm gonna put it right here the last one
is the one behind your head so if i were to move behind your head do you hear a
difference holy wait a minute do you like do you hear a difference
okay okay hold on okay hold on just a
second uh is that better or worse noise isolation oh it's worse okay uh
yeah well it sounds like the ambient noise as you did that really went down
the law so i'm moving closer towards you i'm moving closer towards you and now
i'm touching the back of your head can you hear a difference yes oh wow i feel like i can't hear anything
like not much i'm bringing it back around
it's quiet again and
very quiet now oh wow
is it working okay hold on a second i'm gonna move it away from your head
okay i'm moving it around in front can you can you hear me better or worse
okay i'm going to move it back around your head
yeah what if i told you
that the magnets were both
no what no way
no it actually works you
what's actually happening is i am turning the real world up and down with
the headphones oh
that's just so lame i can even amplify it can you hear me
even louder right now too much okay okay so that's more comfortable
minus 22 db so basically in real time
these things listen to the world around you and they change what you hear
it actually has a microphone on the outside yeah a dsp so digital signal
processor or sound processor and then it has
balanced armature drivers inside so what it's doing is it's
actually taking the world around you altering it or removing or adding so you
hear that echo effect right now and then rebroadcasting it into your
ears holy crap so you can actually even do like live eq
so i could i could add a bunch of bass they've got um
balanced armature drivers and instead of working like a
traditional noise cancellation which would block out or create sound
waves that cancel the waves around you what they're doing is they're basically
sealing up as well as they can they're a closed design closed back design and
they're trying to block out everything and then they're actually re-adding
selectively that's really cool
i thought but i thought beckner would be cool
i thought you could do like magic trick but okay that's cool that's pretty
impressive i feel like being able to turn down the real world would be
that would be extremely extremely useful in a lot of circumstances
very cool technology because like and also the fact that
like something like this isn't really big and ugly is surprising where like it
actually has the ability to like cut out so much noise around you and
it's taking in all the sound that you it
hears and then just giving it to you in almost real time basically i could
you tell the difference i know so essentially real time
not that's very cool so what they ultimately didn't like
about the video was the way that we positioned the here one as a really cool
piece of tech and it really is it works way better than you'd probably expect
but one that wasn't ready to go toe-to-toe with apple's airpods
and i can see why because clearly they were so strapped for cash that they
weren't gonna survive if this one wasn't a huge commercial success
um but it looks like we were right so
