1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,520
galaxy buds plus galaxy buds live

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:10,000
which one's better i don't know how about the one that says

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:12,320
pro at the end galaxy buds pro

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,599
obviously the best pro is good unless you're apple and then you have

5
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:18,800
max i mean if there's anything better than max then you're in trouble

6
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:23,920
samsung's calling these the they're the best they're supposed to be the best they're 200

7
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:29,519
uh which right now the plots are like 110 now in the live or like 140 to 160.

8
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:33,680
um so these are going to be the most expensive right now and

9
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,840
they are supposed to sound the best and they're all premium

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,320
let's get into it ah they give you instructions how to put it in

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,960
we could all use that got the case itself this is a nice small case

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,680
i think this is stupid but two out of three people think this is a worthy test

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,199
yeah now these aren't costco jeans so it might be a little smaller and tighter

14
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:58,559
than linuses but if you're wearing nudies you can get it

15
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:02,719
in but barely and i wouldn't recommend it it feels like crap no wall wart hazard

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,439
tradition usb a2c oh and here we have the silicon

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,680
ear tips there are four in this box two more on

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,240
the earbuds for a small medium large they come in three colors this is phantom black

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,720
i assume there's also phantom silver and phantom violet

20
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,000
so samsung said that these had the shape

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:31,040
of the live which is venular but the inner ear

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,079
penetration factor of the plus uh

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,240
whereas the live were really kind of

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,200
superficial they didn't really go in and so it's supposed to be a hybrid of those

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,320
two and to me though honestly they really

26
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:50,000
just look like a plus like how is this the styling of the live this is not

27
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:54,479
beanie at all if i'm putting those

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,960
in and they're in my ear compared to

29
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,560
it's just like a rounded version of this okay they're not like the live at all

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,799
there's a few microphones on the outside of this there's

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,520
also i believe one of the microphones is behind this perforated part can you see

32
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,680
that there's a little perforated kind of window and that is supposed to help

33
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,840
as like a windscreen so that you can be in a windy environment and have

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,800
a clear voice during calls um just because

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,239
it's just less exposed to the elements and it they should be less exposed

36
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,000
uh protrude less from your ear than the plus did

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,160
so that also would aid in having a better wind

38
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:35,680
performance um before even looking at

39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,640
anything i just want to comment on how they feel right now everyone's ears are

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,800
different and i know for me like my left one's different than the right and if a

41
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:46,480
headphone bothers me it's always in the left right now these don't feel that

42
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,319
comfortable this ear is kind of getting strange it's like my ear holes getting deformed or

43
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,519
something like that i feel like after 45 minutes or an hour it might hurt wow your voice sure sounds

44
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,080
different when i pull these out these are really in there i'm gonna put on the other ones

45
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,840
ah these are so weird where do they go

46
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:11,120
do they go in like a smiley face or like a rainbow

47
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,480
no go away no

48
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,760
okay these are very clear and conventional

49
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:19,840
uh yeah these slipped right in i consider these to be pretty comfortable and

50
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,360
pretty basic are they more comfortable than these ones for me

51
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,920
yeah i think the plus are more comfortable the live are just incomprehensible

52
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,200
and these are somewhere in the middle for me your mileage

53
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,640
may vary let's do sound after

54
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,480
this message from our sponsor private internet access private internet access

55
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,000
vpn gives you access to services and websites as if you were in a different

56
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,239
country it encrypts all your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip

57
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:49,760
you can connect up to 10 devices at once and they have clients for Windows macOS

58
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:54,480
Android iOS and even Linux you're one of those weirdos you

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,680
can get a one year plan for 39.95 and three months free

60
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,720
at the link in the video description i'm enjoying the base

61
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,840
it's not like over present but it's like kind of nice and low

62
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,840
there's a hi-hat in this song

63
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,760
and it's not too uh grating or fatiguing right now that's nice i'm not noticing

64
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:19,199
it let's switch to some songs that have lyrics and stuff

65
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,680
oh everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears

66
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,240
classic i'm satisfied this isn't a review this is just like a first look

67
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,360
unboxing and what i'm gonna say about the sound is that they are in line with what i would

68
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,120
expect from like these kind of consumer 200 headphone

69
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,199
considering all the other features they have like noise canceling and everything these

70
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,280
like don't immediately suck um so i'm good there i want to mess

71
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:50,000
around with the transparency and stuff though because these are active noise cancelling headphones and unlike the

72
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,240
lives which were active noise cancelling

73
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,440
these are they're more similar to the pluses that are in your ear so the

74
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,120
problem with these ones was that because they don't really seal

75
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:02,800
in your ear canal the active noise cancer didn't really do

76
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,919
a whole lot it just took a little off but it wasn't the kind of thing that was

77
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,680
going to help you on a plane ride whereas these i think probably will so

78
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,600
let's do some more tests with that how do i get into i'm going to assume in the settings

79
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:17,919
menu hd audio aac is the codec we're using

80
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:21,520
there although there is a proprietary codec

81
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,880
from samsung called scalable which these support let's go into the

82
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,720
where the the where app the galaxy ware app which i already have because i have

83
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:36,080
a phone i don't see this

84
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:36,080
earphone on here

85
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,240
dang it bobby the too fresh i won't be able to interact with the

86
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,759
app but i can tell you that i know that in the app you can toggle

87
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,440
um do you want your active noise cancelling high or low

88
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,360
do you want the transparency to be at various levels

89
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,720
i can't to fiddle with that now but what i can't fill with is the actual

90
00:05:55,039 --> 00:05:59,840
touch interface of the headphone itself so let's see how sensitive it is and how

91
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,319
they programmed it i'm not even listening to anything right now and i'm expecting a single tap to

92
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,280
start playing some 80s music there we are

93
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:19,520
okay the second one of those worked then that is just like a really cursory

94
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,120
rapid tap so i getting a 50

95
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,400
success rate on that i would suggest doing something more deliberate like

96
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,919
that there's about a second of delay press

97
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,280
just stop so you hear a ding and then it

98
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:40,400
stops uh so it takes a second let's try this hand same function pause

99
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,400
and double tap

100
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:49,599
next track shout by tears for fears let's do a triple tap

101
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,240
okay that went back uh hold hello

102
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:54,479
oh okay it went wow and then it turned on transparency so i can hear myself

103
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,080
more or maybe it hello i can't figure out if

104
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:05,120
it's transparency or just anc off i think that's anc on it made like a

105
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:08,160
positive like major chord

106
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,440
i can hear you now yeah how is it

107
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,560
i don't think it's transparency mode because the music is still like the loudest thing i think it's just a anc

108
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,960
off okay again this is something that we can't look at but you can

109
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:23,120
program some of these buttons so the touch and hold

110
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,720
you can activate a preset feature but by default it launches the noise control

111
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,880
feature so i was right unfortunately i'm not able to check out

112
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,360
the level of granularity they give you for

113
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,240
turning features on and off because we saw on some headphones was the razer

114
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,120
hammerheads that were just awesome you could just toggle every single thing to any one of the buttons

115
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:43,919
it was like completely decoupled that would be ideal but sometimes you

116
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080
don't see that sometimes you see like with double tap you're allowed this or

117
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:51,120
this and i don't know why they put you in a cage like that but um

118
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:54,479
i can't evaluate whether or not this one does that because we're too s

119
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:57,599
we're too fast oh another thing i was new with these is unlike their previous

120
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:02,960
models and like i would say what the standard is for truly wireless earphones these do not

121
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:09,440
have an ipx4 rating these have an ipx7 rating so

122
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:12,639
is that these can go underwater up to a depth of one meter

123
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:17,360
for 30 minutes that does not mean that they recommend you swimming with them

124
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,960
but that's what they're rated for the case no

125
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,080
just the earbuds okay another thing that these things have

126
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:26,800
is if you have the samsung smartthings app there's a new thing called smart

127
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:29,919
things find i don't think that it's just um for

128
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,000
these earbuds only it applies to many samsung devices but

129
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,159
smartthings find will help you locate your earbuds potentially even if they're not on

130
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,719
battery life between 18 i believe 28 hours total

131
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:47,680
uh depending on whether or not you have anc on or bixby on because these do

132
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:51,600
support bixby as a virtual assistant and as you noticed i didn't hail any virtual assistant

133
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:55,040
while i was touching it it's by voice you say the hot word for bixby

134
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,800
and you can use bixby if you're not using all that stuff you're going to get more time so that's

135
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,800
28 hours total 8 and 20. if you are using that stuff

136
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,480
more like 5 and 13. so that is 61 milliamp hours on

137
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,640
the earbud and 472 milliamp hours in the case and of course as we are used to now

138
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,160
charging for five minutes gets you like what an hour of play time

139
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,480
by the way the reason that these would sound different or that samsung thinks they sound quite

140
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,760
a bit better than the live or even or these other ones is

141
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,800
that they have a different uh speaker design there's not just one driver in here

142
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:32,720
there are actually two drivers there is a five millimeter driver for the high

143
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:40,000
end and an 11 millimeter driver for the woofer and um

144
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:44,320
that's 1.5 times bigger than

145
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,080
what you found in the galaxy buds pluses

146
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,480
so there's just more speaker in there in a head earphone that sticks out from

147
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,800
your head less they also have a couple appley features like multi-device support

148
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:59,279
within the samsung ecosystem everyone's trying to do this user lock-in thing

149
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,040
so if you're on your samsung tablet you can

150
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,320
be watching the tablet and then your phone rings it'll switch right on to the

151
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,200
headphone without having to do anything um seamless switching they also have a competitor to

152
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,399
spatial audio that's the thing we saw on airpods pro and on

153
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,920
the pro max where it's supposed to be more

154
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,880
like you're watching a in a home theater where let's say you're the tv and i'm the audience my

155
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
speakers are here if someone talks to me over here the sound stays there

156
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,880
and i can i know that my speakers are kind of fixed in space whereas when

157
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:34,160
you're using headphones if i look over there the sound just comes with me right so they have something like this too

158
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,600
they use a dolby digital head tracking for that and they call the

159
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:41,519
feature 360 audio i'm guessing here i think this works on

160
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,959
more devices than just samsung but they're not ready to say it works on

161
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,040
all Android devices so your mileage may vary there okay so would i recommend these puppies

162
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,760
i don't have official pricing but the rumor is that they're 200

163
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,320
that puts them in the same price tier as the

164
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,640
razer hammerheads which i quite liked they're still cheaper than the airpods

165
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,760
pros this isn't a full-on review of course but from my like

166
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,680
cursory glass at them they seem feature-wise they have some extras

167
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,680
for samsung people interaction-wise they seem like fog

168
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:14,320
standard no like grievances for me

169
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:16,480
and sometimes i have them which is just like

170
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640
it's such an easy thing to get right and they did it right i would be cool to

171
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,959
have more like google assistant stuff this is really for samsung people i think

172
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,200
they perform kind of just like standard as a headphone but for 200

173
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,880
you might need to be a samsung person to push you over the edge

174
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:35,440
but uh yeah this is a good uh good entry into the marketplace so thanks for

175
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:41,600
