WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:14.700 nice looking garbage but since they've been acquired by Apple I think that 00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:19.500 beets have come quite a long way and are now producing several pretty high 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.560 quality products if not a little overpriced which is why I'm kind of 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 00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:34.020 dunking on me I think that people still think that the Beats of the early 2010s 00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:35.579 are the same as they are now but being 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 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:43.739 stuff so I'm hoping to see all of those improvements on their new Beats Studio 00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:49.320 buds Plus let's take a look inside 00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:52.500 it's another box oh sweet these are the transparent ones look at look at that 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 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.520 this and this isn't like a special edition this is like an a mass-produced 00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:02.760 version of them I love the clear plastic it was always the best Nintendo 64 00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:06.540 Controller it's the best Game Boy Advance and I these are probably gonna 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 00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:14.760 see what we see what we can learn they claim powerful balanced sound with 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:20.280 spatial audio again taking advantage of that Apple tech enhanced Apple and 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:24.360 Android compatibility oh I guess maybe Apple's kind of coming around to working 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 00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:31.799 could know if they were being like tracked or anything like that and it 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 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:42.240 active noise canceling with transparency mode up to 36 hours of battery life with 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 00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:51.360 that down um usually this go like 40 hours and 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:55.320 inside you get a tiny USBC cable 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:58.799 a very tiny USBC cable you get three 00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:00.299 extra sizes of ear tips awesome so from 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.560 extra small to to large then 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 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:12.900 that a sticker it is a sticker I'm gonna put it on here 00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:18.000 and you get some documentation but that's just about it that's all we get 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.080 in there and then here they are the Beats themselves interesting thing to 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:24.720 note is that this mentions not quick pairing with an iPhone or quick pairing 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 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 00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:38.340 so cool so you can see like the magnets for the hinge right up there 00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:42.540 can see the bracing for this hinge mechanism going along the top you can 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:46.680 see the battery going along the bottom there right there I have a USBC as your 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.120 charging port which does not allow for the fastest charging it's about two 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.900 hours to charge the case and the earbuds fully but the case itself does allow for 00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.959 quick charging a five minute charge of the headphones will give you one hour of 00:02:56.819 --> 00:03:02.879 listening time not too shabby oh so cool 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 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:12.480 it down and let's find out there it is let's look at these again 00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:15.360 like just an insane amount of stuff 00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:19.739 is crammed into there I find that smaller tips tend to fit my 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 00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:26.940 on the airpods Bros it's just your average 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 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 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.940 maybe a double flange but these are kind of mainstream headphones and you know 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:45.720 what getting five pairs of ear tips is still pretty cool even the like filters 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:48.420 for the grills are kind of see-through 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:51.720 total or on each one because I see two holes at the top right 00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:55.080 here two holes right there oh and there's 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.400 probably the microphone that goes in your ear that's probably the third microphone so 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 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.640 noise from outside as well as the noise inside your ear and use that to factor 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.640 into a calculation that will cancel out the noise that you're hearing speaking 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.180 of noise canceling try to cancel out this sick deal from my sponsor Vesti 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 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.240 combine the comfort of a sneaker with the grip and coverage of an outdoor boot 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:27.180 vessi has added extra layering for added warmth as well as extra grip to prevent 00:04:25.979 --> 00:04:31.259 you from slipping and sliding in unfavorable weather conditions you won't 00:04:28.979 --> 00:04:34.440 hydroplane ever again the storm bursts are feature packed it will make a great 00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:37.740 gift in case may has any leftover April showers in it check out vessi storm 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:43.820 burst and other styles at vessey.com ShortCircuit and use code ShortCircuit 00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:43.820 for 15 off your entire order 00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:52.139 oh I don't want to pick it up no no 00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:53.820 we're picking all that up all right pair 00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:57.360 iPhone needs a quick little update but we can check out how fast pairing works 00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.800 on Android so apparently we should be able to just do this 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.240 look at that it even knows we need a 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.960 software update but here on Android it already identifies them we can link it 00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:10.740 it'll now be linked across all of your Google account devices so if you have 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.560 like a tablet or maybe a Chromebook this will automatically pair in the future 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:17.940 with them we can connect it right now download the app yeah sure give me that 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 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:24.600 Bluetooth can be so nebulous while they quote themselves as having enhanced 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.820 Android support they don't actually support anything other than AAC as a 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 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:37.020 weird because they would have to have a Qualcomm chipset but you know it would 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.960 have been nice to maybe get ldac but also then again that's another company 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 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:48.660 that in theory they could support the Bluetooth low energy codec we haven't 00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:52.320 seen a significant amount of adoption across devices for that yet but I'm 00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:55.139 really hoping that we do because it's supposed to make a pretty huge 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.220 difference in how much data isn't required to send a high quality audio 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:02.580 signal it's gonna be a big step up from AAC one 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 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 00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:17.340 airpods pros gen 1 but also can be found 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.800 in the Beats Powerbeats Pros as well as 00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:24.300 one of their other pro series of headphones I guess because this isn't a 00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:29.340 pro series of a headphone they decided to go with their own proprietary chip 00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:32.759 all right let's take a listen I'm putting them in they're nice and 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 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 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:47.720 stick out too far thoughts Sammy 00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:51.240 anyways Sammy thank you despite the fact that I own a 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 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 00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:04.740 or if you want to receive pairing and Battery notifications and you want to 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:07.979 send Apple data so if you're really into those things 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:12.060 it looks like the Beats app has got you covered among those extra features you 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:15.000 can see like the Beats battery life for each headphone and the case in the 00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:17.880 notification shade really really convenient now these are pre-release 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:22.680 like obviously you can see that it doesn't ID the headphones it's funny 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:27.360 that Google's pairing algorithm saw it though Google showed the right thing but 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 00:07:29.460 --> 00:07:34.560 more features to come these support Google's find my devices features if you 00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:38.400 lose them they'll remember the last kind of Wi-Fi network you were attached to 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 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 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 00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:55.099 you through your house to the location of the headphones let's listen to some 00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:55.099 of my test tracks 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:04.020 you know they sound pretty good pretty they sound pretty dang good yeah 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 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:14.280 actually like relatively Punchy and Jesse wears new track pearls I just 00:08:12.539 --> 00:08:17.220 heard like another instrument that I had not really noticed 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 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:24.599 underneath the main Melodies this kind of highlighted it for me in a way that 00:08:22.979 --> 00:08:27.599 really made it like pop and it was really really cool 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 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:36.180 in songs that you didn't notice because one headphone just happens to represent 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 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 00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:50.399 pretty pretty good the ANC seems pretty 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 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 00:08:56.339 --> 00:09:02.580 transparency mode is like it's the same kind of Apple Magic where it just sounds 00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:05.580 really really natural like it really doesn't feel like I have anything in my 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:10.500 ears I do wish that instead of just doing random beeps and boops that they 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 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 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 00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:30.360 to listen to the spatial audio I am yet to really hear a convincing spatial 00:09:27.420 --> 00:09:34.620 audio effect on earbuds I now have a Dolby Atmos sound bar at home and it 00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:39.660 really is a whole different experience having access to actual surround sound 00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:43.440 speakers headphones have never really been able to uh pull it off but I I 00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:48.600 wanna you know I want to give it a shot whoa 00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:53.760 no one can hear what I'm hearing my issue with spatial audio 00:09:51.300 --> 00:10:00.060 is that like Dolby Atmos tracks tend to just make things sound boomier 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:02.580 and distant and not cohesive like it 00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:06.720 would in an actual space and I think that's because surround mixing is still 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:09.600 not very commonplace in the music industry so they're still learning the 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:14.100 tricks of it despite the fact that surround mixing has been around for like 00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:18.360 forever but there was a big quadrophonic push which is like a four speaker 00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:21.600 surround system two sets of stereos um back in the day like there's 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:26.399 quadrophonic releases of like pink flow it's cool it's different but it doesn't 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 00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:33.899 audio tracks that's great don't let the people tell 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 00:10:36.300 --> 00:10:43.860 because I see only you in the comments tell me beats they're bad 00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:45.779 shut up Labs has the truth here's our 00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:50.820 frequency response graph the dotted line is our Target and the green line is the 00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:53.760 Beats Studio buds plus and as you can see there's a lift in the bass 00:10:51.959 --> 00:10:57.240 especially in the sub bass that adds that kind of punch that I was talking 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 00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:05.459 concerned about is the lift up at the one to three kilohertz region basically 00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:09.180 what that means is that things can come off as what is called shouty where 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:12.839 instruments like things like horns or even human voices kind of seem like 00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:16.500 they're like yelling at you as opposed to like being smooth and like natural I 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 00:11:20.459 --> 00:11:25.380 we see pretty good response with a pretty sharp Peak at the 13 kilohertz 00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:29.820 region but that's kind of in the area where measurements really start to be 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:33.540 inaccurate and loose and stuff and I wouldn't be terribly concerned about it 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 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 00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:47.700 ANC graph the red line is ANC off so passive isolation and the green line is 00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:51.600 ANC on active noise canceling and the amount of noise that it's canceling out 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 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:59.279 cutting out sounds that are below 1000 kilohertz though it would have been nice 00:11:58.140 --> 00:12:02.399 to see a little bit of higher performance in the 600 to 1000 kilohertz 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 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 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.060 vehicles or airplanes you're currently listening to me through the mics on the 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 00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:24.360 cover ipx4 water resistance so Splash sweat pretty cool they have adaptive to 00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:28.500 fit ANC they got beam forming microphones okay the earbuds themselves 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:32.760 weigh 5 grams the case weighs 50 grams the drivers are made of 100 recyclable 00:12:30.540 --> 00:12:36.660 Rare Earth and 100 recycled tin there's a 100 recycled tin on the main logic 00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:40.620 board six microphones are used for the ANC with but with both buds three 00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:43.320 microphones are used for dual Bud ANC with transparency off they use the 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 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:51.240 depending on the earbuds also they come in black and gold and ivory and both of 00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:54.920 those also look pretty sick but transparent look the best so what are 00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:59.579 the price of these 170 which is a lot it ain't cheap that's 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 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 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:13.680 smaller companies especially Chinese companies like sound core or sound Pete 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 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 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 00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:33.320 beats actually knocked out of the park I guess these buds have transparency mode 00:13:30.420 --> 00:13:33.320 all the time 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:44.160 Sammy that was perfect that was incredible 00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:46.800 thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you like this video why don't you check out 00:13:45.360 -->
