you don't know about Swag but me I'm Elite like a black and white pimp from
my head to my feet people stop and stare I feel their eyes on me thinking how
they get their hands on my streets by fitt they all just jelly of my Imperial
style and all thees I acquire just by walking a mile but I don't blame him I'd
be jelly too if I had to look at me and I was forced to be you I know you
thinking how can I turn this around be an imperial instead of being a cloud you
want to come at me you want to take what's mine can't in this helmet but I
hear you just fine that's it it's over now but I can see why you tried your
music would have been great with these except that you died they got protuning
and perfect base too so good effort but better luck next time fool
what the hell did I just watch no no no
no no all of that all of that was complete rubbish I think Brandon
actually put it best when he first tried these headphones on and said to me wow
these are kind of like what I'd expect premium airplane headphones to sound
like yeah in spite of costing $125 for
vanilla ones and a whopping $180 for these Star Wars ones they're that bad
welcome to my review of the Star Wars first edition Street by 50 on your
headphones by SMS Audio this is going to be a good
one Cooler Master V series semi modular
power supplies feature 80 plus gold efficiency and their gold guarantee
5-year warranty click now to learn more so first up is the packaging this
magnetic box is really nice it probably costs about as much to make as the
headphones themselves inside you get someti ERS a certificate of gullibility
or excuse me sorry I screwed that up a certificate of authenticity you get a
creased Star Wars poster a cleaning cloth that you can use to dry your tears
when you realize how much money you just wasted and finally a hard carrying case
for taking out your anger as you progress through the various stages of
grief I mean let's kick off the physical
tour here if the ear cups had had no
swivel and no Tilt at all I might have
been able to excuse it as like oh they must have forgotten that not everyone's
ears are in exactly the same place on their head but this is just pathetic you
get what 5 to 10° either way for tilt
and no swivel at all without wrenching on the headband I mean it's a shame
because if the street by 50 on ears had actually managed to sit on my ears right
at all they may actually have been passably comfortable thanks to their
reasonably soft ear pads and their headband pad which is appropriately
thick considering the feather light plastic Construction ruction of the
headphones as for the rest of the physical tour they've got a detachable
tangle resistant cable that includes an inline microphone and terminates with a
right angle four Poole connector at the device end a pleasing soft touch and
glossy plastic ID that is accented by your choice of Star Wars themed symbols
I chose the Striking red Imperial logos that appear to be made out of the same
plastic as Happy Meal toys and finally a fairly well constructed metal hinge on
each side that allows them to be folded then unfolded
with a satisfying snap noise it's just too bad that that's the only satisfying
sound these headphones will make I did my usual listening tests on an objective
2 as well as an HTC1 M8 so top 40 music
but this time I mixed things up with some older rap that I find somewhat
tolerable like kio's Gangsta Paradise to see if different genres of music might
bring out some hidden positive quality of this product um they didn't the
streets by 50s performance in my listening tests was abominable loan
performance is the one place where I expected them to do reasonably well and
they couldn't even do that bass is loose muddy and uncontrolled without even
managing to rock my skull like the Skull Candy aviators which are available for
less than half as much and the Beats By
Dre solos that I obtained for comparison
Highs are equally weak with the streets by 50s delivering less Clarity in every
possible music track than every other headphone that I tested them against
it's like someone hung up a quilt between me and my speakers when I was
trying to listen to music and finally mids are a total mess compared to the
other headphones I tested too I couldn't find a single vocalist that sounded
better on streets than any of the other headphones with one exception and I
actually don't know how much newer generation products have improved but
the original beat solos were actually even worse in this regard and then
moving on past the listening tests the Pain Train keeps on rolling what is
passive noise cancellation did SMS invent a new way of blocking sound waves
to go along with their invented word here quiescent quiescent what the hell
is that you've either got active noise cancellation like Bose's qc1 15s where
new sounds are generated by the driver to cancel out unwanted sounds
surrounding the listener or you've got passive noise isolation which is just
thick foam a closed-back design and a good seal against the ear to muffle the
sound of your friends telling you that you got fleeced the worst part of all
this is that while these do feature a closed back design they don't seal well
against my ears which appears to be a fairly common issue so they effectively
do almost nothing about ambient noise
one quality that some folks might find redeeming is that out of all the
headphones I tested these were the easiest for my phones built-in amp to
drive so to listen to music at a similar volume compared to Sennheiser momentum
on ear I had to turn my phone down quite a a few notches it's just too bad that
they sound even worse than usual when you crank them up which brings us to
conclusion time I guess if you don't feel like sitting through another minute
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
to this if you have 150 to $200 is to
spend on stylish durable lightweight on your headphones that sound fantastic get
the Sennheiser momentum on ears if Comfort is priority number one the Skull
Candy aviators sound good for the price and look great and are extremely
comfortable all right so back to hating on the streets I wonder where they got
that name from wait streets it rhymes
with Beats rappers are pretty good at that rhyming stuff aren't they it's just
too bad they still don't know anything about building headphones frankly I
don't know who should be more embarrassed at this point Disney for
allowing the Star Wars brand to be put on the actually wait probably not uh
there's been some pretty terrible official Star Wars merchandise over the years um uh maybe it's SMS Audio for
building this appallingly bad product what about Curtis 50 c Jackson III it
really made me wonder is he really tasteless enough to think these are good
or is he just trolling us again like with that first pitch at the Mets game
in May I mean is he legitimately toned deaf or is he just somewhere rolling
around in his piles of money laughing at us as we continue to let him and other
celebrities hypnotically compel us to buy junk with their printed signatures
on them the answer answer to those questions is a definite maybe I guess
there's one positive takeaway here though the product is great news for
people who gravitate towards knockoffs since Not only would a Chinese ripoff
pair of streets by 50 be less expensive they might sound better too because I
really don't think these could have been much worse if they tried guys thanks for
watching like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment letting me know what do you
