00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.920
you don't know about Swag but me I'm Elite like a black and white pimp from

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:23.039
my head to my feet people stop and stare I feel their eyes on me thinking how

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.480
they get their hands on my streets by fitt they all just jelly of my Imperial

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:34.040
style and all thees I acquire just by walking a mile but I don't blame him I'd

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:38.559
be jelly too if I had to look at me and I was forced to be you I know you

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:43.760
thinking how can I turn this around be an imperial instead of being a cloud you

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.399
want to come at me you want to take what's mine can't in this helmet but I

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:52.359
hear you just fine that's it it's over now but I can see why you tried your

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.719
music would have been great with these except that you died they got protuning

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:04.960
and perfect base too so good effort but better luck next time fool

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.759
what the hell did I just watch no no no

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.960
no no all of that all of that was complete rubbish I think Brandon

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:16.479
actually put it best when he first tried these headphones on and said to me wow

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:22.439
these are kind of like what I'd expect premium airplane headphones to sound

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.040
like yeah in spite of costing $125 for

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:30.200
vanilla ones and a whopping $180 for these Star Wars ones they're that bad

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.880
welcome to my review of the Star Wars first edition Street by 50 on your

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:37.320
headphones by SMS Audio this is going to be a good

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.000
one Cooler Master V series semi modular

00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:50.280
power supplies feature 80 plus gold efficiency and their gold guarantee

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:55.119
5-year warranty click now to learn more so first up is the packaging this

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.399
magnetic box is really nice it probably costs about as much to make as the

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:03.920
headphones themselves inside you get someti ERS a certificate of gullibility

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:08.959
or excuse me sorry I screwed that up a certificate of authenticity you get a

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:11.959
creased Star Wars poster a cleaning cloth that you can use to dry your tears

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.519
when you realize how much money you just wasted and finally a hard carrying case

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:21.080
for taking out your anger as you progress through the various stages of

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.280
grief I mean let's kick off the physical

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.920
tour here if the ear cups had had no

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.560
swivel and no Tilt at all I might have

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:34.720
been able to excuse it as like oh they must have forgotten that not everyone's

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:40.200
ears are in exactly the same place on their head but this is just pathetic you

00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:42.640
get what 5 to 10° either way for tilt

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:47.239
and no swivel at all without wrenching on the headband I mean it's a shame

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.440
because if the street by 50 on ears had actually managed to sit on my ears right

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:55.280
at all they may actually have been passably comfortable thanks to their

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.159
reasonably soft ear pads and their headband pad which is appropriately

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:02.040
thick considering the feather light plastic Construction ruction of the

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.560
headphones as for the rest of the physical tour they've got a detachable

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.319
tangle resistant cable that includes an inline microphone and terminates with a

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:14.799
right angle four Poole connector at the device end a pleasing soft touch and

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:19.680
glossy plastic ID that is accented by your choice of Star Wars themed symbols

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.799
I chose the Striking red Imperial logos that appear to be made out of the same

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:28.239
plastic as Happy Meal toys and finally a fairly well constructed metal hinge on

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:32.280
each side that allows them to be folded then unfolded

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.400
with a satisfying snap noise it's just too bad that that's the only satisfying

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:41.000
sound these headphones will make I did my usual listening tests on an objective

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.920
2 as well as an HTC1 M8 so top 40 music

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:47.280
but this time I mixed things up with some older rap that I find somewhat

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:52.159
tolerable like kio's Gangsta Paradise to see if different genres of music might

00:03:49.799 --> 00:03:56.720
bring out some hidden positive quality of this product um they didn't the

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:02.200
streets by 50s performance in my listening tests was abominable loan

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:07.000
performance is the one place where I expected them to do reasonably well and

00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:12.000
they couldn't even do that bass is loose muddy and uncontrolled without even

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:17.000
managing to rock my skull like the Skull Candy aviators which are available for

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:20.199
less than half as much and the Beats By

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:22.199
Dre solos that I obtained for comparison

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:27.479
Highs are equally weak with the streets by 50s delivering less Clarity in every

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:31.560
possible music track than every other headphone that I tested them against

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:35.720
it's like someone hung up a quilt between me and my speakers when I was

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:39.880
trying to listen to music and finally mids are a total mess compared to the

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:44.160
other headphones I tested too I couldn't find a single vocalist that sounded

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.560
better on streets than any of the other headphones with one exception and I

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.160
actually don't know how much newer generation products have improved but

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:56.720
the original beat solos were actually even worse in this regard and then

00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:02.880
moving on past the listening tests the Pain Train keeps on rolling what is

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:08.120
passive noise cancellation did SMS invent a new way of blocking sound waves

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:13.840
to go along with their invented word here quiescent quiescent what the hell

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:18.880
is that you've either got active noise cancellation like Bose's qc1 15s where

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:23.440
new sounds are generated by the driver to cancel out unwanted sounds

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:28.759
surrounding the listener or you've got passive noise isolation which is just

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:32.000
thick foam a closed-back design and a good seal against the ear to muffle the

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:36.120
sound of your friends telling you that you got fleeced the worst part of all

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:40.600
this is that while these do feature a closed back design they don't seal well

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:45.720
against my ears which appears to be a fairly common issue so they effectively

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.720
do almost nothing about ambient noise

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.400
one quality that some folks might find redeeming is that out of all the

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:54.759
headphones I tested these were the easiest for my phones built-in amp to

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.440
drive so to listen to music at a similar volume compared to Sennheiser momentum

00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.680
on ear I had to turn my phone down quite a a few notches it's just too bad that

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.240
they sound even worse than usual when you crank them up which brings us to

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.080
conclusion time I guess if you don't feel like sitting through another minute

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:17.280
of me making fun of what is in the running to be one of the worst products I've ever reviewed then at least listen

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:19.680
to this if you have 150 to $200 is to

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.080
spend on stylish durable lightweight on your headphones that sound fantastic get

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:29.160
the Sennheiser momentum on ears if Comfort is priority number one the Skull

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:34.440
Candy aviators sound good for the price and look great and are extremely

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:40.479
comfortable all right so back to hating on the streets I wonder where they got

00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:42.560
that name from wait streets it rhymes

00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:45.800
with Beats rappers are pretty good at that rhyming stuff aren't they it's just

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:49.199
too bad they still don't know anything about building headphones frankly I

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:52.960
don't know who should be more embarrassed at this point Disney for

00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.879
allowing the Star Wars brand to be put on the actually wait probably not uh

00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:03.400
there's been some pretty terrible official Star Wars merchandise over the years um uh maybe it's SMS Audio for

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:08.960
building this appallingly bad product what about Curtis 50 c Jackson III it

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:12.720
really made me wonder is he really tasteless enough to think these are good

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:17.080
or is he just trolling us again like with that first pitch at the Mets game

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:21.199
in May I mean is he legitimately toned deaf or is he just somewhere rolling

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:26.199
around in his piles of money laughing at us as we continue to let him and other

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:30.240
celebrities hypnotically compel us to buy junk with their printed signatures

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:34.080
on them the answer answer to those questions is a definite maybe I guess

00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:38.520
there's one positive takeaway here though the product is great news for

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.639
people who gravitate towards knockoffs since Not only would a Chinese ripoff

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.360
pair of streets by 50 be less expensive they might sound better too because I

00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:50.639
really don't think these could have been much worse if they tried guys thanks for
