1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,880 you think you've seen it all with wireless earbuds but you know what you 2 00:00:03,899 --> 00:00:09,780 haven't because these puppies right here have something special that I've never 3 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:15,480 seen before Paulie sponsored this video we're gonna check them out these are the 4 00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:17,940 poly Voyager free 60 plus the plus being 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,980 key here they've got a screen on the case simple packaging mostly cardboard a 6 00:00:20,939 --> 00:00:27,000 bunch of paper at the bottom don't need that though 7 00:00:24,019 --> 00:00:32,279 more screens you never know with these guys okay we've got some tips so these 8 00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:36,660 are the silicone in your ear type those largest I gotta say are among the 9 00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:41,040 largest I've seen kind of intimidating you know it bends though it'll fit in 10 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:47,340 there and then there's small so azure's tradition the mediums are equipped then 11 00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:50,100 there's a cable or two one's a USB a to 12 00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:54,000 c a little kind of charging cable and it comes with one of these special guys 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,899 which is USBC to three and a half millimeter Jack useful on planes you 14 00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:02,100 basically plug this into the in-flight system like in the chair then you plug 15 00:00:59,699 --> 00:01:05,939 the US you see into the case and then now your Bluetooth transmitting from 16 00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:10,920 that audio Source the plane or other audio sources handy to have 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,000 and look at that it's alive so what it's showing right now is battery indication 18 00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,200 for the case which is that green circle around it and then each Bud right on 19 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:25,560 there but that's not all because I can hit the X then what's it do okay there's 20 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:27,420 a music icon more different what is that 21 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,439 like an equalizer those are grayed out because presumably because nothing's 22 00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:35,040 playing but I can also swipe Bluetooth is that turning Bluetooth on that's 23 00:01:33,299 --> 00:01:41,100 great on so I guess that that'll illuminate when it's connected volume 24 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:44,820 even handy uh whatever that means a QR 25 00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:48,060 code hold on I'm tempted okay there it 26 00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:50,579 is poly.com safe for work we don't know 27 00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:54,600 hey I'm on the website tells me to download the poly lens app see the world 28 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,340 through the lens of poly let's take a look at the inside actually no the 29 00:01:56,579 --> 00:02:03,659 outside there's a port a USBC port for charging there's the hinge and that is 30 00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:06,719 presumably a pairing button now let's go inside you got your stem 31 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:13,739 type earbuds then also a little hidey hole 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,660 for a USB that's cool you can dongle it 33 00:02:13,739 --> 00:02:20,040 if you want I always appreciate this because I honestly I hate pairing 34 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Bluetooth it's always finicky it seems to be even more finicky on Windows so 35 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:29,160 nice to be able to just plug that in kind of shows that they maybe are 36 00:02:25,739 --> 00:02:32,099 focused on office use or work use and 37 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:38,099 then you got these puppies here they are big grill on the side there and also on 38 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,620 the bottom and the logo right there and 39 00:02:38,099 --> 00:02:45,360 they do have that little mesh to keep your earwax out in the hole 40 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:48,780 on the inside and the contact points for the charging are on the stem all right 41 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,340 let's get these puppies turned on and paired they are making contact with my face a 42 00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:57,180 little bit there your miles just gonna marry you married your mileage may vary 43 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,440 on whether or not they actually touch you there I don't know if I 44 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:06,660 like or just like that this is what it'd be tap to unlock oh you gotta tap it 45 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:11,239 three times pair device there they are poly V free very successful that was 46 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:15,659 actually one of the more painless pairing processes I've had in a long 47 00:03:13,379 --> 00:03:20,040 time especially on camera poly lens the app would like to communicate with the 48 00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:24,180 Plantronics Voyager 360 Series so many names this is a nice app they got little 49 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:30,300 animations here all the language seems super clear and written properly 50 00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:34,920 so here we are in the app settings what is that 51 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,959 a little book icon oh it's the manual 52 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:42,599 all right that's cool so there are different three different eqs I actually 53 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,980 have measurements from Labs for all of them we'll look at those in a bit after 54 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,540 I listen to them myself mute alert types oh that's cool you know like you do an 55 00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:54,599 action like like muting and you'll hear someone usually you don't have a choice 56 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,780 there's just a voice in your head that goes mute on or something like that but 57 00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:02,159 it looks like you can actually make it go from voice to single tone boom to 58 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,220 double tone notification tones hear notification tones from other connected 59 00:04:03,659 --> 00:04:09,480 devices while streaming audio that's a choice second incoming call oh you can 60 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:12,840 choose the ring behavior when you've got another line coming in to call you when 61 00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:17,340 you're already on a call you can ignore ring once or ring 62 00:04:14,819 --> 00:04:22,019 continuously God who would do that mute reminder receive a helpful reminder that 63 00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:25,199 your headset is muted during a call huh it says the on-screen reminder will 64 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:29,100 display it on your PC only not mobile devices it's too bad it doesn't come up 65 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:34,020 on the screen on the case you can get alerts for if your volume is 66 00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:37,860 too loud oh it actually just tells you when your volume is maxed and not I 67 00:04:36,419 --> 00:04:43,199 think I can control the volume on here so let's try that 68 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:48,960 can I swear oh I gotta press the button volume maximum she was very oh God why 69 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,680 is it oh God that really is a lot I want to show you guys that 70 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,120 oh God it's still beeping I think the the dings are unnecessary man there's a 71 00:04:58,259 --> 00:05:04,080 lot of options here adjust the volume of your voice that you hear when you're 72 00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:07,199 speaking volume level tones when adjusting the volume do you hear like a 73 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,620 beep beep beep beep beep every step or just at the minimum maximum I'm gonna 74 00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:15,300 say right now it's like boop boop that's annoying 75 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:18,360 Minimax only these have ANC there's actually three modes for it you can just 76 00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:23,520 turn it off it can be standard or adaptive which is going to use a microphone to tell how loud the 77 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,000 environment is and then adjust the strength of the active noise canceling 78 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,419 accordingly and again we do have measurements for the ANC I'll show you 79 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,539 those in a little bit wow select the transparency mode level and sound 80 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:37,680 signature environment or speech at this point I 81 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,900 think there's too many settings for me to go through all of them which is a good thing like that's cool it just 82 00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:47,699 makes for a boring video rest assured you got options in here holy cow custom 83 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:52,680 swipe sensor what's nice is on the stems you can actually do swipe gesture so you 84 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,940 can increase the volume or you can actually customize it like you can here 85 00:05:54,539 --> 00:06:01,259 to make it mute during calls and then you've also got the the tap function as 86 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:06,539 well and hold first Google assistant oh yeah it's actually super tactile yeah it 87 00:06:03,539 --> 00:06:08,639 literally is just a little button there 88 00:06:06,539 --> 00:06:13,320 now there's also an advanced menu like holy where were we before anti-startle 89 00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:17,280 eliminate acoustic shock from loud sounds oh I've heard of this before that 90 00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:20,880 might be something that's when you've got transparency on and you're hearing 91 00:06:19,259 --> 00:06:24,240 the world around you if something happens that's loud like someone drops a 92 00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:29,580 hammer on the concrete floor or something like that the ANC will kick back on for a second just to like remove 93 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,120 that noise and then the NC will turn back off onto transparency again let's 94 00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:40,800 just use them and see what it's like especially this thing oh yeah here we go turning it down 95 00:06:37,979 --> 00:06:45,060 turning it up I think that both earbuds are equal oh it's on this side here 96 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:50,039 don't don't use the front no double top or triple tap just the button so you 97 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:55,740 actually do have to use this to switch tracks or your phone I would like it if 98 00:06:53,280 --> 00:07:01,020 they just add a double tap to the button oh no they do have double top and 99 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,960 redialing the last outgoing call now 100 00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:08,340 here's the ANC button it's on adaptive can I change that from here transparency 101 00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:12,000 on environment the sound didn't change too much it's 102 00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:17,060 pretty natural sounding and now it's on speech yeah it's gonna talk to me please 103 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,460 yeah I'm just switching between environment and speech and environment 104 00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:30,120 you sounded kind of more ambient where speech definitely it made it sound 105 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,840 like it was more directional I don't know if that's what's actually changing 106 00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:37,319 but that's my perception of it and then here's the ANC 107 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,979 oh that's how I can actually change devices can I just pair to a second 108 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:44,639 phone right here okay now I'm paired to this phone 109 00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:50,099 connected switch device wait I'm actually am I 110 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,599 actually connected to both what that music is playing from the 111 00:07:52,259 --> 00:07:58,380 iPhone hold on a second here what does it mean to be connected to two 112 00:07:56,220 --> 00:08:01,380 things oh hold on a second I'm gonna do not disturb on here oh the music is 113 00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:06,000 playing okay what happens if I go like that 114 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,680 it's refreshing over there you've got to pause the existing device 115 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:14,880 and then play on the next device so many earphones advertised being able 116 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,560 to do this kind of thing they never work this is so sick it works and it's it's 117 00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:23,099 just all the more clear the fact that they have the screen you just get more 118 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:26,699 communication because it's telling you I I am in fact connected to these two 119 00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:31,020 things so you're not guessing as much finally it's a sec 120 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,399 color theme damn they have a dark mode sick hey this 121 00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:39,120 is what the mic sounds like I'm actually sitting in an office environment right 122 00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:42,719 now and there has to be someone sitting next to me clocking my other keyboard 123 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:47,700 can you hear it oh well let's get to the graphs okay check it out this is what I 124 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,660 what I believe to be the default EQ setting which is the base one so here 125 00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:55,860 you can see it's a v-shaped curve you got a boost in the bass you got a boost 126 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:00,240 in the treble and then you've got a little bit of a 127 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:06,540 dip in the mid so that could make voices sound a little bit thin but these again 128 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,180 are designed to be used in office and Enterprise environments so that's why 129 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:15,060 they've they've overcooked it over here because this is the part of the human voice that 130 00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:19,680 is about intelligibility human voice is really across this whole range but if 131 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:22,800 you blocked out this range you'd still be able to hear what people are saying 132 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:27,060 and understand them but if you blocked out this range and only had this range 133 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:32,880 it would sound like like peanuts adults 134 00:09:29,420 --> 00:09:35,940 now a lot of people do enjoy listening 135 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,680 to music with this shape uh you might 136 00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:40,980 say that you prefer flat headphones because you want what the artist 137 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,060 intended and you want something closer to the our Target curve here but a lot 138 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:50,880 of people actually don't want that they want beefed up bass uh and they want a 139 00:09:48,660 --> 00:09:57,360 brighter trouble now if we if this base was not beefed up over here and you just 140 00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:00,060 had this without this extra boost it 141 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:04,980 would sound bad it would sound maybe shouty and too bright but when both ends 142 00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:09,180 are boosted up uh it sounds better and people like it and they sound excited 143 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,140 it's kind of like looking at an image that's oversaturated like really 144 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:17,760 overcooked greens and reds when you're at the Best Buy and you see the the demo 145 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:22,380 tapes playing wow that looks awesome it doesn't look real but it looks awesome 146 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,740 it's kind of analogous to this now let's look at the other presets this is the 147 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:30,000 preset they call Flat you can see the bass has been brought down a bit but 148 00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:35,700 actually it's a little bit less flat in the mids and the low mids the high base 149 00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:37,320 you know around 100 so that actually 150 00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:41,160 might sound worse to some people depending on your preferences but again 151 00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:45,839 speech intelligibility is up there so that'll be fine and then the bright EQ 152 00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:49,380 is kind of just even more of that that's going to be in terms of audio Fidelity 153 00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:54,779 and trueness like maybe the worst one now all those graphs 154 00:10:51,959 --> 00:10:58,320 were with ANC on we do also have them with no ANC 155 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,260 not gonna comment on them they're actually pretty close 156 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,980 but here they are just for your reference and here's the actual ANC 157 00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:10,140 measurement so what you're seeing here is the dotted line as if you weren't wearing headphones at all the red line 158 00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:14,940 is if you put them in you have the passive isolation and then green is when 159 00:11:13,019 --> 00:11:21,000 the ANC is on so that's why the green line is lower you're hearing less 160 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,519 when the ANC is on with the exception of 161 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:29,760 this dip over here and this is something you see commonly uh on almost all ANC 162 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:33,660 headphones you actually have in this frequency range Better Sound isolation 163 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:38,220 with the ANC off this isn't bad though I've actually seen 164 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:44,160 the gaps here be even greater than this and then once you pass that little dip 165 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:46,140 these track really tightly ANC on and 166 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:52,800 off doesn't matter at all in this region of the spectrum so this is about 20 yeah 167 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:54,959 20 DB sound isolation on this end which 168 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:59,399 is okay there are other earphones that maybe go to like 40. 169 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,360 um but these will be fine especially if you're in a office environment that's 170 00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:10,019 going to be okay and here's the mic quality you can see it tracks pretty close to the Target 171 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,880 for a lot of the parts that matter these 172 00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:16,820 bumps over here might even be intentional again you're getting into 173 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:21,660 the range where speech intelligent and ironic speech intelligibility becomes a 174 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,320 factor so it's possible that they intended for these to be bumped up over 175 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:31,200 here and then with these huge drop-offs this is the range of hearing that's just not really going to be relevant to human 176 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,160 voice so you're kind of just filtering 177 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:38,220 out other sounds that you don't want to get passed through at that point now I 178 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,940 haven't worn these for very long but I don't think they're uncomfortable they 179 00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:45,540 seem like they could reasonably deliver on their claim of all-day wear they're 180 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,700 pretty light as well um I think that like having the screen 181 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:55,860 on here is kind of cool I I don't like when I'm doing a thing on my computer 182 00:12:53,459 --> 00:12:59,220 and I have to leave the work thing I'm doing to go to like tab with the music 183 00:12:57,420 --> 00:13:03,240 and mess with that it might be nice just to know regardless of what device I'm 184 00:13:00,899 --> 00:13:07,740 using I control it from here and I don't have to leave my spreadsheet or my 185 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:12,600 actual task and get distracted by all the stuff flashing around on my music 186 00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:14,100 app I can just use this now how about 187 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,940 battery life though with this bright screen actually it's pretty normal you 188 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,620 get five and a half hours on the buds we've seen more we've seen less and then 189 00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:26,820 the case will charge them twice pretty typical stuff plug that puppy in for 15 190 00:13:24,839 --> 00:13:31,019 minutes to get over an hour of talk time and also I never mentioned wireless 191 00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:34,980 charging is supported it's the wireless chargers are sold separately but this 192 00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:39,420 case supports wireless charging that is another premium kind of bonus feature 193 00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:43,200 very cool so there are actually multiple models of this thing they start at 2 30 194 00:13:42,060 --> 00:13:48,959 but you're not going to get the touch screen you're not going to get the dongle the one I've been showing you 195 00:13:45,899 --> 00:13:50,639 today is 330. now if that sounds good to 196 00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:54,899 you or your business you can actually deploy these it sounds weird to say but 197 00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:59,519 your IT personnel can deploy these easily with the app that actually are 198 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,240 meant to be remotely monitored through the app so to make it easy for it teams 199 00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:08,399 I never really thought it was someone deploying earphones but I guess in the 200 00:14:05,459 --> 00:14:13,260 in this world we live in it's part of your workstation and a lot of people are 201 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:17,700 working from home as well so why not that's actually a nice to have and I did 202 00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:22,440 notice in the app that there was uh the software version was like right on the 203 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,660 front page so I guess that tracks check them out at the link below thanks for 204 00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:29,899 probably for sponsoring this video really interesting product I'm looking 205 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,899 forward to seeing more from them
