1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,940
it's been a little while since beats was on top of the world I remember back in

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,460
high school when it was the coolest thing to have Beats and then everyone found out that they were actually just

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,700
nice looking garbage but since they've been acquired by Apple I think that

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:19,500
beets have come quite a long way and are now producing several pretty high

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,560
quality products if not a little overpriced which is why I'm kind of

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:28,800
angry because in a previous unboxing I mentioned that I had a pair of Beats Solo 3 wireless and people just kept

7
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:34,020
dunking on me I think that people still think that the Beats of the early 2010s

8
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:35,579
are the same as they are now but being

9
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:39,899
acquired by Apple has changed them in a big way you get things like Apple's noise canceling and all that sort of

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,739
stuff so I'm hoping to see all of those improvements on their new Beats Studio

11
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:49,320
buds Plus let's take a look inside

12
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:52,500
it's another box oh sweet these are the transparent ones look at look at that

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,020
you can see right through them that's sick I'm so glad that they're releasing

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,520
this and this isn't like a special edition this is like an a mass-produced

15
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:02,760
version of them I love the clear plastic it was always the best Nintendo 64

16
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:06,540
Controller it's the best Game Boy Advance and I these are probably gonna

17
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:09,960
be the best needs headphones I'm just saying let's take a look around the Box

18
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:14,760
see what we see what we can learn they claim powerful balanced sound with

19
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:20,280
spatial audio again taking advantage of that Apple tech enhanced Apple and

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Android compatibility oh I guess maybe Apple's kind of coming around to working

21
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:28,979
with Google on some things at Google I O they announced that they would share like airpod location data so that people

22
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:31,799
could know if they were being like tracked or anything like that and it

23
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:37,140
seems like they're gonna actually be putting a lot of extra Android features in here too which is really cool to see

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,240
active noise canceling with transparency mode up to 36 hours of battery life with

25
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:44,880
ANC off nine hours in the earbuds and 27 hours in the case I love how they break

26
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:51,360
that down um usually this go like 40 hours and

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:55,320
inside you get a tiny USBC cable

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,799
a very tiny USBC cable you get three

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,299
extra sizes of ear tips awesome so from

30
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:04,560
extra small to to large then

31
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:09,000
oh there there I can't look at that yet we gotta look at the documentation is

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,900
that a sticker it is a sticker I'm gonna put it on here

33
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:18,000
and you get some documentation but that's just about it that's all we get

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,080
in there and then here they are the Beats themselves interesting thing to

35
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:24,720
note is that this mentions not quick pairing with an iPhone or quick pairing

36
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:30,360
with an Android phone because it actually supports both so you can do fast pairing on both your Android and

37
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,140
your iPhone I guess before we open them up look at the case look at that oh it's

38
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,340
so cool so you can see like the magnets for the hinge right up there

39
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:42,540
can see the bracing for this hinge mechanism going along the top you can

40
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:46,680
see the battery going along the bottom there right there I have a USBC as your

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,120
charging port which does not allow for the fastest charging it's about two

42
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,900
hours to charge the case and the earbuds fully but the case itself does allow for

43
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,959
quick charging a five minute charge of the headphones will give you one hour of

44
00:02:56,819 --> 00:03:02,879
listening time not too shabby oh so cool

45
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,420
and on the top here we have a button probably it's pairing I'm going to hold

46
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,480
it down and let's find out there it is let's look at these again

47
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:15,360
like just an insane amount of stuff

48
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:19,739
is crammed into there I find that smaller tips tend to fit my

49
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:23,400
ears best but this doesn't have the same kind of ear tip connector like you'd see

50
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:26,940
on the airpods Bros it's just your average

51
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:30,480
uh normal ear tip the ear tips that are included are silicone so there's no foam

52
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:34,739
or anything like that it would have been nice to see some phone a foam option or

53
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,940
maybe a double flange but these are kind of mainstream headphones and you know

54
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:45,720
what getting five pairs of ear tips is still pretty cool even the like filters

55
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,420
for the grills are kind of see-through

56
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,720
total or on each one because I see two holes at the top right

57
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:55,080
here two holes right there oh and there's

58
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,400
probably the microphone that goes in your ear that's probably the third microphone so

59
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,379
there's a microphone that goes in your ear because these are gonna have hybrid noise canceling systems so they take the

60
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,640
noise from outside as well as the noise inside your ear and use that to factor

61
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,640
into a calculation that will cancel out the noise that you're hearing speaking

62
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,180
of noise canceling try to cancel out this sick deal from my sponsor Vesti

63
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:20,459
thanks for bestie for sponsoring today's video Messi claims their shoes are 100 waterproof their new storm burst shoes

64
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:24,240
combine the comfort of a sneaker with the grip and coverage of an outdoor boot

65
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:27,180
vessi has added extra layering for added warmth as well as extra grip to prevent

66
00:04:25,979 --> 00:04:31,259
you from slipping and sliding in unfavorable weather conditions you won't

67
00:04:28,979 --> 00:04:34,440
hydroplane ever again the storm bursts are feature packed it will make a great

68
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:37,740
gift in case may has any leftover April showers in it check out vessi storm

69
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,820
burst and other styles at vessey.com ShortCircuit and use code ShortCircuit

70
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,820
for 15 off your entire order

71
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:52,139
oh I don't want to pick it up no no

72
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:53,820
we're picking all that up all right pair

73
00:04:52,139 --> 00:04:57,360
iPhone needs a quick little update but we can check out how fast pairing works

74
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,800
on Android so apparently we should be able to just do this

75
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,240
look at that it even knows we need a

76
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,960
software update but here on Android it already identifies them we can link it

77
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,740
it'll now be linked across all of your Google account devices so if you have

78
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:13,560
like a tablet or maybe a Chromebook this will automatically pair in the future

79
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,940
with them we can connect it right now download the app yeah sure give me that

80
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,479
Beats app there we go and we're paired it's so nice that that's how easy it is

81
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:24,600
Bluetooth can be so nebulous while they quote themselves as having enhanced

82
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:29,820
Android support they don't actually support anything other than AAC as a

83
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:32,639
audio codec which is a real bummer I get that app decks would be a little bit

84
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,020
weird because they would have to have a Qualcomm chipset but you know it would

85
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,960
have been nice to maybe get ldac but also then again that's another company

86
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,699
that they don't want to work with Sony so these are Bluetooth 5.3 which means

87
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,660
that in theory they could support the Bluetooth low energy codec we haven't

88
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:52,320
seen a significant amount of adoption across devices for that yet but I'm

89
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,139
really hoping that we do because it's supposed to make a pretty huge

90
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,220
difference in how much data isn't required to send a high quality audio

91
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,580
signal it's gonna be a big step up from AAC one

92
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,580
thing that's interesting about these is that they don't take advantage of Apple's H series of chips the Apple H2

93
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:13,800
can be found in the airpods Pro gen 2s and the H1 and the airpods and the

94
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:17,340
airpods pros gen 1 but also can be found

95
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,800
in the Beats Powerbeats Pros as well as

96
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:24,300
one of their other pro series of headphones I guess because this isn't a

97
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:29,340
pro series of a headphone they decided to go with their own proprietary chip

98
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:32,759
all right let's take a listen I'm putting them in they're nice and

99
00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:37,440
light they're actually pretty comfortable they are very small like they're not big headphones which I

100
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:44,880
appreciate because sometimes big headphones can be really bulky they stick out a lot these don't seem to

101
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:47,720
stick out too far thoughts Sammy

102
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,240
anyways Sammy thank you despite the fact that I own a

103
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,720
pair of Beats headphones I've never bothered using their apps I don't actually know what kind of capabilities

104
00:06:53,580 --> 00:07:00,660
they have but currently looks like a really good way of being advertised to if you want to see other beats products

105
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:04,740
or if you want to receive pairing and Battery notifications and you want to

106
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:07,979
send Apple data so if you're really into those things

107
00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:12,060
it looks like the Beats app has got you covered among those extra features you

108
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,000
can see like the Beats battery life for each headphone and the case in the

109
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,880
notification shade really really convenient now these are pre-release

110
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,680
like obviously you can see that it doesn't ID the headphones it's funny

111
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,360
that Google's pairing algorithm saw it though Google showed the right thing but

112
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:30,900
in the app they haven't released it as an actual update yet so maybe there's

113
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:34,560
more features to come these support Google's find my devices features if you

114
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:38,400
lose them they'll remember the last kind of Wi-Fi network you were attached to

115
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:42,599
and like kind of give you a general idea of a location as well as you can like ring them and stuff which is great but I

116
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:46,259
don't know if you don't be able to do the like crazy find my things that the

117
00:07:44,699 --> 00:07:49,259
H2 chipset allows you to do where you can like hold your phone and it'll guide

118
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:55,099
you through your house to the location of the headphones let's listen to some

119
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:55,099
of my test tracks

120
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:04,020
you know they sound pretty good pretty they sound pretty dang good yeah

121
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:10,440
there's a little bit of added bass a little bit of extra oof but it's not like tasteless bloated bass it's

122
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:14,280
actually like relatively Punchy and Jesse wears new track pearls I just

123
00:08:12,539 --> 00:08:17,220
heard like another instrument that I had not really noticed

124
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,300
um there's like this really cool funky low base kind of synth that's uh playing

125
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:24,599
underneath the main Melodies this kind of highlighted it for me in a way that

126
00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:27,599
really made it like pop and it was really really cool

127
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:32,219
um that's kind of the joy of listening to multiple different types of headphones is that you will hear things

128
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,180
in songs that you didn't notice because one headphone just happens to represent

129
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:40,080
that sound in that way and now I love that song even more because I didn't know how sick that bass riff was they're

130
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:48,180
not trying to bring up the highs to the point where things become shrill or anything like that they're they're

131
00:08:43,979 --> 00:08:50,399
pretty pretty good the ANC seems pretty

132
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:54,600
solid for the room that we're in hey Sam you want to talk to me or Jake you want

133
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:58,560
to talk to me just like say hello hi hi and I'm saying words out loud

134
00:08:56,339 --> 00:09:02,580
transparency mode is like it's the same kind of Apple Magic where it just sounds

135
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:05,580
really really natural like it really doesn't feel like I have anything in my

136
00:09:03,899 --> 00:09:10,500
ears I do wish that instead of just doing random beeps and boops that they

137
00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:16,740
gave me actual words that said like a and C on one press two play pause two

138
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:20,640
presses to skip triple press to go back it doesn't seem to get any volume that's

139
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:25,560
a major bummer I really don't like having to pull up my phone to adjust the volume of my headphones okay now I want

140
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,360
to listen to the spatial audio I am yet to really hear a convincing spatial

141
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:34,620
audio effect on earbuds I now have a Dolby Atmos sound bar at home and it

142
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:39,660
really is a whole different experience having access to actual surround sound

143
00:09:37,019 --> 00:09:43,440
speakers headphones have never really been able to uh pull it off but I I

144
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:48,600
wanna you know I want to give it a shot whoa

145
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:53,760
no one can hear what I'm hearing my issue with spatial audio

146
00:09:51,300 --> 00:10:00,060
is that like Dolby Atmos tracks tend to just make things sound boomier

147
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:02,580
and distant and not cohesive like it

148
00:10:00,060 --> 00:10:06,720
would in an actual space and I think that's because surround mixing is still

149
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,600
not very commonplace in the music industry so they're still learning the

150
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:14,100
tricks of it despite the fact that surround mixing has been around for like

151
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,360
forever but there was a big quadrophonic push which is like a four speaker

152
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:21,600
surround system two sets of stereos um back in the day like there's

153
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:26,399
quadrophonic releases of like pink flow it's cool it's different but it doesn't

154
00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:30,120
sound that great I mean but that's again that's my thought if you love spatial

155
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,899
audio tracks that's great don't let the people tell

156
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:38,399
you what you can and can't listen to that's why I listen to beats okay

157
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:43,860
because I see only you in the comments tell me beats they're bad

158
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,779
shut up Labs has the truth here's our

159
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:50,820
frequency response graph the dotted line is our Target and the green line is the

160
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Beats Studio buds plus and as you can see there's a lift in the bass

161
00:10:51,959 --> 00:10:57,240
especially in the sub bass that adds that kind of punch that I was talking

162
00:10:55,019 --> 00:11:00,779
about that fun factor that I like beats for the only thing that I'd be a little

163
00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:05,459
concerned about is the lift up at the one to three kilohertz region basically

164
00:11:03,899 --> 00:11:09,180
what that means is that things can come off as what is called shouty where

165
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:12,839
instruments like things like horns or even human voices kind of seem like

166
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:16,500
they're like yelling at you as opposed to like being smooth and like natural I

167
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:22,140
didn't really notice that in my listening tests but if you're sensitive to that your mileage may vary in the top

168
00:11:20,459 --> 00:11:25,380
we see pretty good response with a pretty sharp Peak at the 13 kilohertz

169
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:29,820
region but that's kind of in the area where measurements really start to be

170
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,540
inaccurate and loose and stuff and I wouldn't be terribly concerned about it

171
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,240
I didn't notice any Brilliance I mean that's a pretty that's a pretty good

172
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:42,899
response curve and I think that reflects the quality of the sound that I perceived and let's take a look at our

173
00:11:40,019 --> 00:11:47,700
ANC graph the red line is ANC off so passive isolation and the green line is

174
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:51,600
ANC on active noise canceling and the amount of noise that it's canceling out

175
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:56,519
is how far below the dotted line it is and the ANC overall does a decent job

176
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,279
cutting out sounds that are below 1000 kilohertz though it would have been nice

177
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:02,399
to see a little bit of higher performance in the 600 to 1000 kilohertz

178
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,700
range that's where things like a lot of voices kind of exist so this won't do

179
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:11,579
the best job of silencing your co-workers but it will still do a good job attenuating low rumbles from like

180
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,060
vehicles or airplanes you're currently listening to me through the mics on the

181
00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:19,740
Beats Studio buds plus just going to go through a few stats that we didn't quite

182
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:24,360
cover ipx4 water resistance so Splash sweat pretty cool they have adaptive to

183
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:28,500
fit ANC they got beam forming microphones okay the earbuds themselves

184
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:32,760
weigh 5 grams the case weighs 50 grams the drivers are made of 100 recyclable

185
00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:36,660
Rare Earth and 100 recycled tin there's a 100 recycled tin on the main logic

186
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:40,620
board six microphones are used for the ANC with but with both buds three

187
00:12:38,579 --> 00:12:43,320
microphones are used for dual Bud ANC with transparency off they use the

188
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,459
multiple microphones to make sure that you have clear speaking voices they'll adjust the amount of microphones

189
00:12:46,019 --> 00:12:51,240
depending on the earbuds also they come in black and gold and ivory and both of

190
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:54,920
those also look pretty sick but transparent look the best so what are

191
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:59,579
the price of these 170 which is a lot it ain't cheap that's

192
00:12:57,899 --> 00:13:03,899
for sure in fact it falls right in line with the price of airpods third gen and

193
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:08,160
if you spend 80 more dollars you get the airpods pros if you want to go with

194
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:13,680
smaller companies especially Chinese companies like sound core or sound Pete

195
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,540
or one more you might be able to get a better value but these are really really

196
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:24,060
solid I think it's a good price I think the case is really cool and honestly I'd

197
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:28,680
pay I'd put I'd pay a premium for this specific case but that's just me I think

198
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:33,320
beats actually knocked out of the park I guess these buds have transparency mode

199
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:33,320
all the time

200
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:44,160
Sammy that was perfect that was incredible

201
00:13:42,139 --> 00:13:46,800
thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you like this video why don't you check out

202
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,500
the video about another transparent company in a different way verifo

203
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:53,000
they're all about making repairable headphones and being a good company
