1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680
sony reached out to sponsor a video about their new

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,440
wh-1000xm4 headphones that pack up to 40 hours of battery life seamless

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,880
multi-device switching and active noise cancellation that's among the best in

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:18,160
the biz but hold up i don't want to do a video just about these headphones when

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:24,320
there is so much more sweet sony tech to look at so they sent over a little care

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,920
package with a tv a sound bar and

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,000
we've got a bit of a problem where am i gonna put all this stuff my wife's gonna

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,520
kill me if i try to overhaul the living room again so i was in a bit of a bind

9
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,559
for exactly where to put

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,920
this the personal micro theater

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,039
now the setup isn't without its downsides and we'll get into that but in

12
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:50,640
actual function it's kind of fantastic there's everything i need mini fridge

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,399
for the bevies popcorn at the ready and most

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,480
importantly for us a whole lot of tech so come on guys and i will give you a

15
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:07,400
little tour colin you have outdone yourself this is

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400
freaking ridiculous

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,759
step one of this crazy project was finding someone who was willing to let

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,479
us convert one of their storage lockers into a home theater yeah easier said

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,560
than done i contacted like six only one got back to me and actually would let us

20
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:32,320
do it um there were a couple issues we had to sort out uh this unit doesn't

21
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,439
have power so we ran a really long extension cord and also we're in the

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,840
basement so we don't have any internet

23
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,640
uh so to speak we get like one bar when we tether a phone but it's just enough

24
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:49,680
but we did manage to update the tv and now we've actually got the 4k 120 hertz

25
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,920
update running on it with support for erc so it's officially playstation 5

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,880
ready even though we don't actually have a playstation 5 quite yet but we brought

27
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,600
along a pc so we can show off that capability now in terms of size

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,600
obviously i don't expect anyone to actually build a home theater in a

29
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:12,080
storage locker the rental rates actually don't make a ton of sense but definitely

30
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,319
if you were looking for inspiration for how to fit an amazing movie watching or

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,599
gaming experience into a very small space how big is this thing this is five

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:26,480
by ten so i decided to go for a long way so it makes getting in a lot easier yeah

33
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:31,040
and we actually ended up with still a little bit of room like enough to fit a

34
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:36,879
cooler nice yeah one of the best things about this setup is other than the tech

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,120
we spent almost nothing on it so on top

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:45,840
of this used tv stand that we scored on craigslist for 50 canadian rubles you

37
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,560
can't miss the huge sony x900h 65-inch

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:53,040
tv now to say that the fitment here is tight would be an understatement i

39
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,360
cannot actually get my fingers through here and you might think that the image

40
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:03,120
gets cut off a little bit where it sits behind the door track but you'd be wrong

41
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,879
because when you're sitting in this

42
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,040
repurposed lazy boy with a 20 cover on

43
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:14,159
it you can actually see every corner of the television

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,159
perfectly now we need to be very very careful exactly where we position the tv

45
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,640
because there's actually a little like uh hook thing on the edge of the door

46
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,800
that would scratch down the entire side of the screen if we had it too close but

47
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,879
the way that it is right now everything is peachy

48
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,599
yes confirmed peachy especially after the

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:43,440
latest update this bravia packs a ton of features we've got a 4k panel with

50
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,799
support for hdr10 at 4k 120 hertz and

51
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,519
dolby vision at 4k 60 hertz it's running

52
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,040
Android tv with apple airplay baked in as well if you're part of that other

53
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,560
ecosystem your beautiful HDR content won't be spoiled by huge hot spots like

54
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,400
the displays of old because it's got a full array led backlight and it's got

55
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,200
your next gen gaming consoles covered with support for HDMI 2.1 gaming

56
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:10,159
specific features like auto low latency mode then we've got this guy running

57
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,720
just a single cable down to what is honestly going to be one of the most fun

58
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:20,079
parts of our show today the sound bar in the interest of honesty

59
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,240
as good as the st5000 soundbar looks on our setup

60
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:29,360
it's totally overkill but i love it the wireless sub fits

61
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,479
perfectly next to our chair here meaning that we are going to be able to feel

62
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:39,600
what we're watching and the seven that's right count them seven front firing

63
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:44,960
speakers are no slouches either now there are two additional top firing

64
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,880
speakers over on the edge here and here which are intended to bounce sound off

65
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,400
the ceiling but if you look up

66
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,639
there's nothing to reflect off of because it's actually noise isolating

67
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,720
insulation up there so we won't be making the most of the dolby atmos

68
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:05,120
certification that this bar comes with that means it'll be mostly acting as a

69
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:10,320
more traditional surround sound setup and hub for all of our inputs

70
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,720
because it has 4k HDR pass-through it really simplifies the install and keeps

71
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,560
all the wires down low if this was a more conventional installation say if we

72
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,720
were wall mounting the tv at home that means less cables to run up inside your

73
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,400
wall and one extra nice thing that's not in the script is it actually has three

74
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,440
HDMI inputs which is more than the typical one to two setup for this puppy

75
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,639
couldn't be easier we hope we haven't actually tried this ahead of time so

76
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,080
you're about to see a live demo uh to pair you just tap your phone it's over

77
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:43,480
here on the side that took me a second to find in our space constrained uh

78
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,519
location here and

79
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:53,120
oh that was easy okay nice now colin

80
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,320
loaded up spotify with some monster cat music and we are about to

81
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:04,479
try this out well

82
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:07,840
oh that sub in a space like this

83
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:10,240
my poor popcorn maker wait a minute

84
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,840
hold on a second does sony have a feature where your phone vibrates with

85
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:18,880
the bass how do i how did i not know about this i

86
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,720
was like what the heck why is the phone vibrating am i someone calling

87
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:30,319
it's adjustable too when you change the volume there's a little scroll it's right beside the volume thing oh my god

88
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,479
that is so funny is it a spotify feature no it's across

89
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,120
the device it's hardware level

90
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
this is ridiculous

91
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,560
look at the popcorn

92
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:58,479
that is a lot of sound like

93
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,050
next thing i want to try is a movie i actually haven't heard of this movie

94
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:04,080
it's called your name apparently

95
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,440
well it's not my little pony but i guess it'll do

96
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,919
i hate to do this to you guys but see you later

97
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,840
some of you will probably figured this out but there's a reason that we only

98
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:26,479
applied sound deadening to the front and back of the room that's because we

99
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,360
actually want the sound bar to reflect off of these side walls here

100
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,520
for the optimal movie watching experience

101
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:41,440
this is absolutely crazy 65 inches is like as big as you can go

102
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,919
for like a near field viewing experience like you could totally put something

103
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,000
like this in a bay of your garage man the art in this movie is beautiful

104
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:57,120
dialogue on the soundbar sounds so good like

105
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:01,360
sorry it's probably like a little loud right now but it's really good and even

106
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,000
when music's playing in the background or there's other effects like i am

107
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:09,680
really impressed so far yes the video is sponsored by sony but i'm legit by law

108
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:16,160
not allowed to tell you guys anything i don't actually think if i'm offering an opinion this thing sounds great

109
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:20,800
especially considering the conditions of course some people are less into the

110
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,759
most crazy loud setup and more into a stealthy sneaky setup and that is where

111
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,560
these come in these are the next generation of sony's flagship wh-1000

112
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:35,039
lineup of noise canceling headsets the

113
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,800
wh-1000xm force and they are well let's

114
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:42,000
call them our secret weapon for a stealthy viewing experience sony has

115
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:46,080
improved on the already great xm3s with a handful of new features including

116
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,040
multi-device support which allows you to pair to both the tv and say for example

117
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,279
a phone with the idea behind it being that you get super seamless switching

118
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:59,200
between the two it's a little tough to demo somewhere where both of our phones

119
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,640
are struggling to grab even one bar of signal but that's fine i can still show

120
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,040
you guys how it works with the headphones paired to both the smartphone

121
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:11,200
and soundbar which i've already taken home so it's paired

122
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:15,839
to the tv using the sony connect app i can watch content on the big screen and

123
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,320
should a call come in a quick double tap of the right ear cup will seamlessly

124
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:24,540
switch devices over to my phone and pause whatever i'm watching on the tv

125
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:27,680
hit me colin

126
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:34,480
just like that neat huh also if you're a gamer on the

127
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:38,640
go the active noise cancellation is some of the best out there so you can focus

128
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,920
on pwning noobs rather than the noise around you it was a bit hard to show you

129
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,560
in the storage unit because it was under so much concrete and metal

130
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,360
back to the locker another cool feature that

131
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,920
i wasn't aware of when we started shooting that call-in configured on these is when you start talking it can

132
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,040
actually mute your content so that you can carry on a conversation with someone

133
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,760
that's really important when you consider how excellent the noise

134
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,519
isolation on these headphones is and not just isolation which is already very

135
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,200
good but they're active noise cancellation so i don't know if you guys

136
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:14,880
can hear can you hear the music when it's going okay well it's not going

137
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,839
anymore it just turned off because i'm trying to have a conversation with you

138
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,880
and it enables transparency mode so i can hear you just fine

139
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,760
so you go ahead and say something andy hi you look beautiful wait what you you

140
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,160
don't like working here anymore that's a shame i love working with you

141
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:33,920
ed this transparency feature is actually super handy because when the noise

142
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,880
cancellations kicked in i cannot hear a word you're saying and because like the

143
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,800
masks i don't even have the benefit of like lip reading at all like i can't

144
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:46,399
even guess and that is in no small part thanks to their new

145
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,040
generation mic array so it works freaking

146
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,320
awesome the one last thing i'm supposed to tell you guys about is of course the

147
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,120
return of their touch controls on the right ear cup and then all that remains

148
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:03,480
is to where's my popcorn sit and enjoy some movies and gaming

149
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,480
well see you later boys enjoy
