WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.359 I love wires and they've always kind of 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.320 kept me away from you know the tiny little in Mirror buds you know you lose 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.480 them you don't have many more they fall out the new Bayer Dynamic zelento 00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:19.619 wireless headphones kind of have the best of both worlds they've got wires 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.460 yay they come down to a Little Neck thing and you're not going to lose them 00:00:21.539 --> 00:00:27.539 when you're out and about this is a new kind of Flagship product from Bayer 00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:32.700 Dynamic it's kind of their one of the most expensive things that they make and 00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:36.480 you know I've got new types of drivers that I've not really seen before and 00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:42.300 kind of a very interesting way to interface with your phone a kind of I 00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:46.079 guess like a standard in-ear monitor box 00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:47.160 is a bit mocked up I think I think Labs 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:54.539 might have tried to open it with their teeth or something look oh my God 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:56.940 did he like get in there with it no pull 00:00:54.539 --> 00:01:01.680 tab here this opens up like that oh my God they're tiny look at that over there 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:07.020 what else we got in here we'll get a piece of plastic with some information 00:01:04.339 --> 00:01:10.560 we have I guess this is a little carrying case no this is the neck piece 00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:15.540 isn't it oh there we go 00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:21.479 but for now we've got our connection cables so you can use these wired which 00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:24.960 is great maybe you don't have your phone or you just want to use your own preamp 00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:28.979 or something like that you don't have to use their driver or DAC got a USB cable 00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:35.520 I assume for charging we'll find out instruction manuals a certificate of our 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:39.240 senticity which is always cool this one comes with like loads of different tips 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:46.619 and things like that you can't get there's a box oh okay it's it was glued 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.100 to the Box sure sure bear in Dynamic 00:01:46.619 --> 00:01:51.420 whatever why why would you do that 00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:55.020 um what is this a little cleaning cloth oh that's cool it's not even tips these 00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.079 are like little clip things I have no idea what those would be useful for what 00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:01.680 else oh my God there's so much stuff in here look at all of those there's like 00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:06.840 hundreds of them from what looks like extra small all the way up to XXL 3XL I 00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:11.459 can't read today and look at these little guys they're adorable 00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:16.680 apparently these are handmade in Germany looks like they're all metal very nice 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:20.760 matte finish on the side there the connection point for the cables here 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.800 because we'll have a look at this thing so yeah this is the Bluetooth interface 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:31.500 neck thing and so kind of like a really nice siliconized band here very flexible 00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:36.959 with our connection points for the headphones here and then there's your 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.440 USB point for charging and we have this 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:42.720 also metal kind of volume adjustment and 00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:45.300 your music switch or whatever else you make calls on this too it's got 00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:50.340 microphones is number two clicks in there really 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.440 nice these rotate I like the look of the 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:56.640 buds I like they're kind of the two-tone appeal of them with the the matte finish 00:02:54.300 --> 00:03:01.500 on the back and the now immediately covered in fingerprints shiny side on 00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:07.379 the front they feel really high quality the connection here is really good 00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:09.239 hopefully they stand out for sound 00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:13.260 quality I think the build quality is there Cable's nice and siliconized and 00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:16.860 easily flexible you're probably not going to feel that too much I'm just 00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:21.060 noticing the weight of this on my neck and it's not too oppressive but I'm 00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:25.560 definitely noticing it certainly touching here I mean you've got the cold 00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:30.000 of the metal so if you're using this in like I don't know Canadian winters like 00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:33.780 we have right now I think these would get cold and press into your neck and 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.019 that would be unpleasant but I mean if you're outside wearing them then you're 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:41.580 gonna have one around a collar like this I don't feel it at all now putting the 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:47.700 man is not a problem you go up and over push them in wrap the cable around the 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.000 top of your ear they feel really good in the ear they just sort of disappear I'm 00:03:49.739 --> 00:03:55.019 not going to be able to talk very well because I'm not gonna have any of the 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.379 outside voice there we go seal feels good hopefully 00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.060 they have some sort of pass-through we'll check that out in a second we have 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:07.440 an app with it as well but first I forgot to tell you about our sponsor D 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:11.760 bread they're chaotic apples but they make good stuff like this grip case it 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:16.320 has a super grippy texture it's impact resistant it can be customized with any 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:21.479 of dbrand skins like this new palettes collection that dbrand just released 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.919 check them out at shortlineus.com I call 00:04:21.479 --> 00:04:28.380 them nipples because he only comes up to here we also have a companion app which 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:32.880 is kind of always terrifying Boop linuses nose here one thing I like 00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:36.180 is you open the app and it doesn't ask you to make an account it just goes 00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:39.600 connect your headphones immediately so this little logo here is is a button I'm 00:04:38.460 --> 00:04:45.840 going to hold it down see if it does anything yeah it did we have a little light here and it's blinking blue and 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:53.520 red hey there we are so I'll connect to these let's go back to our 00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:53.520 app here I guess there we are choose 00:04:53.639 --> 00:05:00.600 and we're done that was very simple and easy good job they do have firmware so 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:03.900 we're gonna have to update them let's see how long this takes I've got a 00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:08.220 blinking white light here so we're doing the update or is that purple it's purple 00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:13.759 so we've got full RGB Baron Dynamics inspired by Razer it's going to take 12 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:17.280 minutes for headphone firmware okay 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:19.440 okie dokie our update is done and we're 00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:22.800 good to go let's uh let's have a look through some of the settings here 00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:26.220 um yeah we've got voice prompts so when you basically press this center button 00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:31.560 you can get your assistant you can make calls all that sort of thing now there 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:35.220 is a special feature that Baron Dynamics is included called enhancement mode 00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:38.580 which changes the sound profile a whole bunch and we'll have a look at that I'm 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.180 not sure if Labs measured it with that on and off to figure out exactly how 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:47.520 that alters it oh we've got some statistics which is always nice to see how many times it's been turned on 00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:51.360 uptime all that sort of stuff we have all sorts of remote stuff which is kind 00:05:49.320 --> 00:05:54.900 of nice gives you a little manual right in the app of what this button does 00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:58.979 which yeah it's got a lot of different features that's kind of cool let's get 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:03.300 some music into it I guess we got to try and get them in properly and all that 00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:06.780 sort of thing get our volume adjusted I did have a quick look at the manual and 00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:11.900 yeah these cables are supposed to go towards the back of the headphones let's 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.900 play some crab rave 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:20.940 okay so yeah the uh the first impressions are are pretty nice the seal 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:25.860 in my left ear wasn't quite perfect and this is some of the problem with uh 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:28.440 these in-ear style buds is that unless 00:06:25.860 --> 00:06:31.500 you know you kind of don't know if you have them in right there's some 00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:35.639 tutorials in the manual which kind of go over like if you have no bass response 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:39.900 you've put them in wrong so you can kind of move them around and feel how the sound changes maybe try out some 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:44.340 different tips I think my ears are different so I might need 00:06:41.940 --> 00:06:49.620 slightly different like a cup for my left ear composed compared to the right 00:06:46.139 --> 00:06:52.319 ear but yeah the the sound is is very 00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:56.400 good there's something missing though and I want to just try it again with 00:06:54.300 --> 00:07:00.800 this enhancement mode off and we will get a different impression hopefully 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:06.840 yes that sounds very very similar I 00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:11.100 think the base roll-off is a little more and the sibilance kind of high band is 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.160 is a little bit higher I mean this is probably a good time to talk about the 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.460 Labs results yeah Sam's give me two charts here to have a look at one of 00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:23.400 them is from the bear Dynamics and the other one is from the Apple airpods Pro 00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:26.819 Gen 2 and we can see that there's a bit 00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:30.840 of a dip around 200 and some kind of 00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:33.900 increases looks like uh wow five nearly 00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:35.940 10 DB in the 3K range and that's kind of 00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:40.139 it's kind of where you're getting that kind of sound from the hi-hats at least 00:07:37.979 --> 00:07:44.099 in Crab Rave there is a bit of bass push as well and it's even more pronounced 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:48.539 when we have this enhancement mode on they're kind of not performing at the 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:53.039 level I would expect for a pair of headphones in this price range and there 00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:57.419 are 1200 US Dollars which is a hell of a lot of money now bear Dynamics does have 00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.020 kind of a characteristic sound where their high band is a little bit more 00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:05.220 pushed it's difficult to kind of recommend something in this price range 00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:09.479 when there is so much competition in the high end in-ear monitor kind of space 00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:14.759 500 bucks will get you a pair of sure five three fives which are an incredibly 00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:18.479 robust and well-built little piece of plastic ear junk I think for these 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:24.120 you're kind of really getting that build quality and you're also getting the wireless functionality too like the 00:08:21.419 --> 00:08:28.560 sheriff 535s yeah they got a wire you know you don't get this this nice little 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.599 band thing you're not really going to see like a wireless Bud performing like 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:37.500 this for for any other amount of money it seems to have a lot of really nice 00:08:35.219 --> 00:08:41.219 features and kind of gives you the prompts the app is good this is one 00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:46.080 product that's not ruined by the software they've kept it simple they've 00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:47.820 kept it you know useful it gives you a 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:51.899 tutorial right in the app of what it does it gives you lots of control let's 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.339 have a look at the equalizer setting yeah we've got bass boost warm yeah you 00:08:54.839 --> 00:08:59.880 know all this sort of thing if we look at the charts that they've given us we 00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:04.200 can pretty much fix a lot of the problems with it by just you know 00:09:02.459 --> 00:09:08.160 picking one of their presets I really would have liked to be able to like 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:12.600 choose and then we can use the chart that Sam generated to kind of fix all of 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:16.440 the issues and then it's perfect it's got some high band that's kind of 00:09:14.339 --> 00:09:22.820 missing a little bit so if we smooth out the treble and give another listen 00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:22.820 you 00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:28.560 know 00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:41.880 ow that last one hurt 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.019 um no okay none of those are good uh they don't improve it at all maybe 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:50.399 that's because I have enhancement of on but yeah not too sure they alter the 00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:55.620 sound too much it doesn't sound too even it sounds like the music is wrong almost 00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:59.399 like there's too much bass and it's kind of hurting you or you know there's too 00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:03.180 much high band and it's kind of also hurting you but in a different way it's 00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:07.620 it's not kind of reproducing what the artist 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:12.660 intended and they're classified right on the box as audio file and Tesla in-ear 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:17.519 and and I don't I don't like that term I don't identify as an audio file and I 00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:21.839 know some people do but it's kind of a nebulous term right what kind of gear do 00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:27.180 you want to buy to make your music sound good and music sounding good is the 00:10:24.839 --> 00:10:31.200 subjective things I've already forgotten that I'm wearing them even with the kind 00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:34.200 of few ounces of weight that they have I'm not worried about losing them I can 00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:37.740 take them out I can just dangle them around my neck because of the Silicon 00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:42.899 I'm not worried about it kind of slipping off the side it has a bit of 00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:48.779 memory so it kind of holds itself in the CC shape but yeah it's difficult to kind 00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:54.240 of articulate why they're not at the level that I think they should be and I 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:56.100 guess that that's kind of a a point four 00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:02.880 of the headphones as well if I can't properly describe why they're not good 00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:06.600 some of them are extremely obvious what the problem problems are I think for me 00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:10.920 my taste is that they have too much base and the high bands too much but that's 00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:16.680 kind of a Hallmark of a barrel Dynamic headphone looking at the graph there is 00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:18.540 a noticeable dip the 3000 Hertz which 00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:22.560 again is going to kind of maybe cause the issues that I'm looking at a lot of 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:28.140 singers and vocals and a lot of instruments sit around that band airpods 00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:32.399 I hate to say it but I would prefer to buy like four pairs of air pods because 00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:37.200 I'm going to lose them rather than get these if I were to class these in what I 00:11:35.339 --> 00:11:43.140 think the price bracket should be I would say maybe 300 to 400 and that kind 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:48.480 of 300 to 500 range of headphones is where you get a lot of choice and a lot 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:51.140 of really good performing headphones for 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:56.700 these these sound like 400 headphones and they look like jewelry I think 00:11:54.959 --> 00:12:02.220 that's pretty much where this product is going to be classified but if they were 00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:05.339 400 bucks I think I would use these as 00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:07.620 my daily driver you know on the bus on 00:12:05.339 --> 00:12:11.339 the train they're cool I think they look nice I think they sound nice they fit 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.380 really well in the ears you get a bunch of different ear cups to fit them 00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:20.220 exactly to you yeah they're they're good they're good if you want to watch a
