WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880 you think you've seen it all with wireless earbuds but you know what you 00:00:03.899 --> 00:00:09.780 haven't because these puppies right here have something special that I've never 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:15.480 seen before Paulie sponsored this video we're gonna check them out these are the 00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:17.940 poly Voyager free 60 plus the plus being 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:22.980 key here they've got a screen on the case simple packaging mostly cardboard a 00:00:20.939 --> 00:00:27.000 bunch of paper at the bottom don't need that though 00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:32.279 more screens you never know with these guys okay we've got some tips so these 00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:36.660 are the silicone in your ear type those largest I gotta say are among the 00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:41.040 largest I've seen kind of intimidating you know it bends though it'll fit in 00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:47.340 there and then there's small so azure's tradition the mediums are equipped then 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:50.100 there's a cable or two one's a USB a to 00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:54.000 c a little kind of charging cable and it comes with one of these special guys 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.899 which is USBC to three and a half millimeter Jack useful on planes you 00:00:56.340 --> 00:01:02.100 basically plug this into the in-flight system like in the chair then you plug 00:00:59.699 --> 00:01:05.939 the US you see into the case and then now your Bluetooth transmitting from 00:01:04.199 --> 00:01:10.920 that audio Source the plane or other audio sources handy to have 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 00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.200 for the case which is that green circle around it and then each Bud right on 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 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.420 a music icon more different what is that 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.439 like an equalizer those are grayed out because presumably because nothing's 00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:35.040 playing but I can also swipe Bluetooth is that turning Bluetooth on that's 00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:41.100 great on so I guess that that'll illuminate when it's connected volume 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:44.820 even handy uh whatever that means a QR 00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:48.060 code hold on I'm tempted okay there it 00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:50.579 is poly.com safe for work we don't know 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 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.340 through the lens of poly let's take a look at the inside actually no the 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 00:02:01.740 --> 00:02:06.719 presumably a pairing button now let's go inside you got your stem 00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:13.739 type earbuds then also a little hidey hole 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.660 for a USB that's cool you can dongle it 00:02:13.739 --> 00:02:20.040 if you want I always appreciate this because I honestly I hate pairing 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.520 Bluetooth it's always finicky it seems to be even more finicky on Windows so 00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:29.160 nice to be able to just plug that in kind of shows that they maybe are 00:02:25.739 --> 00:02:32.099 focused on office use or work use and 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 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.620 the bottom and the logo right there and 00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:45.360 they do have that little mesh to keep your earwax out in the hole 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:48.780 on the inside and the contact points for the charging are on the stem all right 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 00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:57.180 little bit there your miles just gonna marry you married your mileage may vary 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:01.440 on whether or not they actually touch you there I don't know if I 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 00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:11.239 three times pair device there they are poly V free very successful that was 00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:15.659 actually one of the more painless pairing processes I've had in a long 00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:20.040 time especially on camera poly lens the app would like to communicate with the 00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:24.180 Plantronics Voyager 360 Series so many names this is a nice app they got little 00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:30.300 animations here all the language seems super clear and written properly 00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:34.920 so here we are in the app settings what is that 00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:36.959 a little book icon oh it's the manual 00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:42.599 all right that's cool so there are different three different eqs I actually 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 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 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:54.599 action like like muting and you'll hear someone usually you don't have a choice 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 00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:02.159 it looks like you can actually make it go from voice to single tone boom to 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.220 double tone notification tones hear notification tones from other connected 00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:09.480 devices while streaming audio that's a choice second incoming call oh you can 00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:12.840 choose the ring behavior when you've got another line coming in to call you when 00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:17.340 you're already on a call you can ignore ring once or ring 00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:22.019 continuously God who would do that mute reminder receive a helpful reminder that 00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:25.199 your headset is muted during a call huh it says the on-screen reminder will 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 00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:34.020 on the screen on the case you can get alerts for if your volume is 00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:37.860 too loud oh it actually just tells you when your volume is maxed and not I 00:04:36.419 --> 00:04:43.199 think I can control the volume on here so let's try that 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 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.680 is it oh God that really is a lot I want to show you guys that 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 00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:04.080 lot of options here adjust the volume of your voice that you hear when you're 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:07.199 speaking volume level tones when adjusting the volume do you hear like a 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:10.620 beep beep beep beep beep every step or just at the minimum maximum I'm gonna 00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:15.300 say right now it's like boop boop that's annoying 00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:18.360 Minimax only these have ANC there's actually three modes for it you can just 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 00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:27.000 environment is and then adjust the strength of the active noise canceling 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:30.419 accordingly and again we do have measurements for the ANC I'll show you 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.539 those in a little bit wow select the transparency mode level and sound 00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:37.680 signature environment or speech at this point I 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 00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:47.699 makes for a boring video rest assured you got options in here holy cow custom 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 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.940 can increase the volume or you can actually customize it like you can here 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 00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:06.539 well and hold first Google assistant oh yeah it's actually super tactile yeah it 00:06:03.539 --> 00:06:08.639 literally is just a little button there 00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:13.320 now there's also an advanced menu like holy where were we before anti-startle 00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:17.280 eliminate acoustic shock from loud sounds oh I've heard of this before that 00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:20.880 might be something that's when you've got transparency on and you're hearing 00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:24.240 the world around you if something happens that's loud like someone drops a 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 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.120 that noise and then the NC will turn back off onto transparency again let's 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 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 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 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 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 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:03.960 redialing the last outgoing call now 00:07:01.020 --> 00:07:08.340 here's the ANC button it's on adaptive can I change that from here transparency 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:12.000 on environment the sound didn't change too much it's 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 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:26.460 yeah I'm just switching between environment and speech and environment 00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:30.120 you sounded kind of more ambient where speech definitely it made it sound 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.840 like it was more directional I don't know if that's what's actually changing 00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:37.319 but that's my perception of it and then here's the ANC 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.979 oh that's how I can actually change devices can I just pair to a second 00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:44.639 phone right here okay now I'm paired to this phone 00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:50.099 connected switch device wait I'm actually am I 00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:54.599 actually connected to both what that music is playing from the 00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:58.380 iPhone hold on a second here what does it mean to be connected to two 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 00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:06.000 playing okay what happens if I go like that 00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.680 it's refreshing over there you've got to pause the existing device 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:14.880 and then play on the next device so many earphones advertised being able 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 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:23.099 just all the more clear the fact that they have the screen you just get more 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:26.699 communication because it's telling you I I am in fact connected to these two 00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:31.020 things so you're not guessing as much finally it's a sec 00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:35.399 color theme damn they have a dark mode sick hey this 00:08:34.020 --> 00:08:39.120 is what the mic sounds like I'm actually sitting in an office environment right 00:08:37.140 --> 00:08:42.719 now and there has to be someone sitting next to me clocking my other keyboard 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 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.660 what I believe to be the default EQ setting which is the base one so here 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 00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:00.240 in the treble and then you've got a little bit of a 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 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:09.180 are designed to be used in office and Enterprise environments so that's why 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 00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:19.680 is about intelligibility human voice is really across this whole range but if 00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:22.800 you blocked out this range you'd still be able to hear what people are saying 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:27.060 and understand them but if you blocked out this range and only had this range 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:32.880 it would sound like like peanuts adults 00:09:29.420 --> 00:09:35.940 now a lot of people do enjoy listening 00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:37.680 to music with this shape uh you might 00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.980 say that you prefer flat headphones because you want what the artist 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:45.060 intended and you want something closer to the our Target curve here but a lot 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 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 00:09:53.880 --> 00:10:00.060 had this without this extra boost it 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:04.980 would sound bad it would sound maybe shouty and too bright but when both ends 00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:09.180 are boosted up uh it sounds better and people like it and they sound excited 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.140 it's kind of like looking at an image that's oversaturated like really 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 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:22.380 tapes playing wow that looks awesome it doesn't look real but it looks awesome 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 00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:30.000 preset they call Flat you can see the bass has been brought down a bit but 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 00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:37.320 you know around 100 so that actually 00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:41.160 might sound worse to some people depending on your preferences but again 00:10:39.060 --> 00:10:45.839 speech intelligibility is up there so that'll be fine and then the bright EQ 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 00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:54.779 and trueness like maybe the worst one now all those graphs 00:10:51.959 --> 00:10:58.320 were with ANC on we do also have them with no ANC 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:01.260 not gonna comment on them they're actually pretty close 00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:04.980 but here they are just for your reference and here's the actual ANC 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 00:11:08.459 --> 00:11:14.940 is if you put them in you have the passive isolation and then green is when 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 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.519 when the ANC is on with the exception of 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:29.760 this dip over here and this is something you see commonly uh on almost all ANC 00:11:27.540 --> 00:11:33.660 headphones you actually have in this frequency range Better Sound isolation 00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:38.220 with the ANC off this isn't bad though I've actually seen 00:11:35.880 --> 00:11:44.160 the gaps here be even greater than this and then once you pass that little dip 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:46.140 these track really tightly ANC on and 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 00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:54.959 20 DB sound isolation on this end which 00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:59.399 is okay there are other earphones that maybe go to like 40. 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:03.360 um but these will be fine especially if you're in a office environment that's 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 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:11.880 for a lot of the parts that matter these 00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:16.820 bumps over here might even be intentional again you're getting into 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:21.660 the range where speech intelligent and ironic speech intelligibility becomes a 00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:25.320 factor so it's possible that they intended for these to be bumped up over 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 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.160 voice so you're kind of just filtering 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 00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:41.940 haven't worn these for very long but I don't think they're uncomfortable they 00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:45.540 seem like they could reasonably deliver on their claim of all-day wear they're 00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:50.700 pretty light as well um I think that like having the screen 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 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 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 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 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:12.600 actual task and get distracted by all the stuff flashing around on my music 00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:14.100 app I can just use this now how about 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:17.940 battery life though with this bright screen actually it's pretty normal you 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 00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:26.820 the case will charge them twice pretty typical stuff plug that puppy in for 15 00:13:24.839 --> 00:13:31.019 minutes to get over an hour of talk time and also I never mentioned wireless 00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:34.980 charging is supported it's the wireless chargers are sold separately but this 00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:39.420 case supports wireless charging that is another premium kind of bonus feature 00:13:36.959 --> 00:13:43.200 very cool so there are actually multiple models of this thing they start at 2 30 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 00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:50.639 today is 330. now if that sounds good to 00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:54.899 you or your business you can actually deploy these it sounds weird to say but 00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:59.519 your IT personnel can deploy these easily with the app that actually are 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:03.240 meant to be remotely monitored through the app so to make it easy for it teams 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:08.399 I never really thought it was someone deploying earphones but I guess in the 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 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 00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:22.440 notice in the app that there was uh the software version was like right on the 00:14:19.560 --> 00:14:24.660 front page so I guess that tracks check them out at the link below thanks for 00:14:23.579 --> 00:14:29.899 probably for sponsoring this video really interesting product I'm looking 00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:29.899 forward to seeing more from them
