you ever just see a product and think that's a stupid idea and then you're
wrong that's what happened to me with these the Logitech G fits true wireless
earbuds well I thought why would you want to have truly wireless earbuds that
are aimed at PC Gamers if you're sitting at your PC then why don't you just use
wired earphones or headphones and not have to mess around with charging or
anything like that well it turns out I was wrong because the top comment on the
announcement video for these is finally there's a set made for gamers like me
you know we all got different shaped ear holes some people for different reasons
want these I've already hosted a ShortCircuit video on a very similar you
might even say the same earphones they are called The
Ultimate Ears fists the UE fits and they look very similar look at that fun color
in there and there's also a little like
click see that on the end nice looking inside so I made that video
and these are very much the same they seem to be the same form factor and they
have that same see this light form technology it is a moldable
personalizable ear tip and in that video
I said they're probably the most comfortable earbuds that I had ever worn
so not mad to see that come to another product and that's another great thing
about these is that you know not only do you and I have different ear holes you
and you might have different ear holes for example my left is a little bit
different than my right it tends to spit out earbuds a little more so it's cool
to have them customizable not only to yourself but to
all the different versions of you you carry around if I remember correctly I'm
not supposed to open this until I'm ready to have these forming to my ear because the way that the light form Tech
works is that it's exposure to UV that actually initiates the the reaction so
let's just set those aside for a second see what else is in the Box oh so this
is step two complete light form molding before inserting light speed receiver oh
that's the other thing that's different about these it's not just a re-badging
of an existing product they've imbued these with Logitech light speed for low
latency that's why these are for gaming you can get kills without being killed
because of latency so that's cool that's step two we'll do the light form before
we do light speed now we do already have
the app and I am assuming it's going to walk me
through the setup process okay interestingly enough when you're ready
to begin open the sealed package you can place your earbuds in the case with the
lid open so it can't be that time sensitive
uh sometimes it'd be like that yeah I think
I can one shot this oh God nope
do I have to press the oh no pressing required
and remove them to continue now let's get to the fun part you're not joking
let's go twist your earbuds into your ear holes
find the position that maximizes the base are they playing a bass sweep right
now there is music playing
and there's just like kind of like kind of bass tone
the fans love my sound effects they come back from a descriptive audio
yeah that's definitely how they're meant to go hold earbuds in place while while
molding okay molding the light form your
tips will take about one minute I can't hold for that long you'll feel I'm
getting warmer as they multi your ears I hope I don't get addicted to this
I'm just applying gentle pressure you know on the twist axis and the in my ear
axis
ew they got this oh they are warming
they got this lava lamp kind of visualization here
which is kind of grossing me out
oh yeah I like this warm sensation though
when I was a kid I watched my dad do that ear candling thing you put a candle
up in your Wheel by your ear and then you roll over and all this Gunk like falls out
looked appealing I Googled it years later apparently it doesn't do
but it looked like it did well they got a custom animation we promise these are
a different product well that was worth the price of admission there's no
sensation like it check out lifeform technology up close and share your
experience no but because I'm doing it for you guys sure place them in both
ears okay take a selfie
there we go I'm gonna share this oh it just tells you to share it or just wear
whoever you want just your buddies Discord airdrop
I'm gonna share it to uh books all right here's where it gets different
connect to your PC I will say these are so in my ear right now they are super
isolating like I'm wearing earplugs to a greater extent than before I did the
molding process so that's pretty interesting that that appears to
actually work I don't want to pull them out just yet though I think I want to let them cool down a bit but here's
where it gets different connect to your PC this actually comes with a little
dongle yeah you see that there's a charge cable
too which is normal stuff normal earphone stuff little little USBC to a
charge cable but they also come with these
so here's a Type A dongle and then in case you have type c
there's just an adapter to go with it and this is unusual and appreciated
because there's some desktop machines that will not accept a Bluetooth
connection it has to be USB that might
be the case for you at work for example so this really covers your basis for
that for being able to use these where you want to use them but also this is
what's going to enable that Lightspeed connection for low latency so let's plug
it into our personal computer should we do let's do Type A
we're gonna plug this in and play some first person shooter games right after
this message from our sponsor Newegg looking for the latest technology to

for all your Tech needs so check out Newegg LMG.gg Newegg one thing that's
cool about these is the interface the interaction changes whether or not
you're using Bluetooth or the dongle Lightspeed and you can
actually switch between them by doing a triple tap so I want to check that out right now so I want to see if I can play
a song here and then switch to playing the game over there alright so I have music playing on the iPhone I triple tap
oh I double tapped that means pause double tap Again Play triple tap
there's that sweet oh God I'm getting shot at uh wasd no I have a trackpad
no one thought of this yes
well oh my god oh that's so loud jeez
Louise is it possible the game of the trackpad is this is awful I can't hear
you man I'm in war
okay now when I'm playing the game the interface like I said changes so instead
of the double tap being play and pause it becomes open your mic and close your
mic for your team members I guess I can if I hold this up to the mic
oh oh I wanna I want you to be able to see an
action that I press on the screen and then hear the sound come out so that the
audience get a sense of latency that's the thing right that'll work
can you hear that Andy yeah another big part of the gaming experience of course
is going to be the mic quality if this is actually going to replace your
headset it's got to be able to sound good for your teammates you know
hi this is a voice memo I'm talking through the mic now how do you like it
no actually I'm going to take this opportunity to talk about the fit
because it feels really good and I never give you a fit test before but they are
just so incredibly in there they're so
in it it won't go out if you're at your hands tying behind your back no I said
it like that uh and you we're challenged to get these out of years I think you
could do it without hitting your head against the wall that would hurt
it doesn't sound awesome it doesn't sound it sounds probably like
a pretty entry-level headset mic it doesn't sound like you're using a nice
boom mic or a USB mic for example but it's I guess serviceable
and there's not even any wax on them
they do smell kind of weird actually now I kind of just smell them as a joke but
they the hot plastic
it's a thing Andy you're making a face he's like why not listen to some music
as well
these sound pretty good now we don't have any measurements from the Labs team
because these wouldn't seal very well in our head and torso simulator and so we
wouldn't get accurate measurements especially in terms of bass where I'm sitting I think these probably have a
little bit of overcooked based I listened uh to the song that I know
pretty well here and there was more thumping on the kick than I'm used to so
I would expect it to be kind of like V be curve shaped but some people really
like having a little more bass and maybe maybe it's because they're tuned for
gaming but let's see what the app gives us for EQ options if anything here we go
looks like there's some basic ones oh God there's bass boost
on top of that FPS which actually takes the low end down
MOBA how is that different from FPS
less mid-range and then spoken word like slam poetry
let's go to customize and see what it gives us okay Five Points of contact
better than three but it's a cool looking interface
okay and can I
oh my goodness yeah I can name it sup King
save and can I add more presets Plus
this one next
quane cool you can do more than one at least
customizable preset now in terms of battery life you can get 10 hours of
listening from the buds themselves plus an additional 12 from the case if you're
using Bluetooth now that figure is actually going to drop bit this might be
counter-intuitive view it actually drops if you use the dongle to seven hours on
the buds and then eight hours additional from the case seven hours sounds okay
but remember we're trying to replace your gaming headset here which is either
plugged in all the time because it's wired or if it's wireless maybe it has a
bigger battery in these you might be gaming for longer than seven hours or
you might have two gaming sessions and forget to charge these in between so
you're you are gonna have to manage the battery and keep in mind you might not
get that seven hours if you're talking as well that that figure is just
listening time for 230 dollars don't forget some pretty stiff competition not
just in the truly Wireless uh Spectrum but also in just the gaming headset
space you're definitely have to be able to find things that sound better but you
know you can also just wear these in the gym they aren't going to do that with your with your big sennheisers or
whatever so I think that sound wise they
probably aren't as good as other truly wireless headphones that cost this much
money now that they sound bad but there's probably some others that sound
better but the comfort is awesome it really is great you feel like you're
just not wearing anything the isolation is great they don't need to be active
noise canceling with the amount of passive isolation they offer so I do
think they're worth a look and if you're interested in the low latency aspect
that is a total bonus so these are a great all-rounder and definitely worth
a closer look from you that's all so thanks for watching guys
if you want to see more earphones reviews I just covered the OnePlus buds
2 Pros or whatever this name was they were pretty cool
until I found out the price
