1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,519 it comes as no surprise to me that when a Walkman yes the brand new Sony 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,019 walkmans from 2023 came to our little 3 00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:16,139 ShortCircuit shelf that the most excited person about these was Linus and 4 00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:19,920 that's because he's you know old and you might look at me and be like well you're 5 00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:24,300 too young to have enjoyed a walk man but I had two older brothers and I only ever 6 00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:29,279 got hand-me-down so I rocked a CD Walkman until I was like 14 and I got an 7 00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:35,579 iPod Touch for Christmas and I kept that iPod Touch for many many years and 8 00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:39,480 mother's iPod touch okay but yeah this is 9 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:43,079 strange product it doesn't like 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:49,340 you know an OG Walkman obviously they're not going to release something that uses 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:52,860 CDs in 2023 but this is the NW 12 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:54,600 zx707 it's an Android based Walkman 13 00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:58,680 so it's it's probably just kind of like an Android phone without a SIM card with 14 00:00:57,059 --> 00:01:04,799 really good audio that's hopefully what it is 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,780 holy crap that looks pretty premium yeah 16 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,580 I mean on the outside whoa there's a lot of media controls there 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,560 we got some we got a hold button I don't know what that does 18 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,500 oh it's any idea holds for audio like it 19 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,460 holds the current track Maybe oh it's almost like it should just say 20 00:01:21,659 --> 00:01:27,960 lock oh we got a forward we gotta play a 21 00:01:25,619 --> 00:01:32,100 pause we got it back we got a volume down and up and a power button are these 22 00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:37,439 okay they're ever so slightly different size it would be hard to reference which 23 00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:43,079 button you were clicking in your pocket you can put texture on things you know 24 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:48,000 there is little bumps but I don't know if that's enough to really get the vibe 25 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:52,680 now there's a Micro SD slot on this side and then on the top we have the balanced 26 00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:56,040 output along with just a normal 3.5 millimeter so you probably want to use 27 00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:01,439 the balanced one if you have headphones that support it on the bottom type c 28 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:05,280 charging that's good and a little like hanger thing so you could have like a 29 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,160 little wrist strap on it which is which is cool it's really square and 30 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,860 it's got really harsh edges it looks and 31 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:17,280 feels premium but also kind of feels I don't know uncomfortable I guess the 32 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,879 leather on the back is nice and it does have the little Walkman logo Walkman 33 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,780 Walkman I'm just gonna keep saying Walkman just so just to bug people so 34 00:02:23,459 --> 00:02:29,580 maybe this guy the NWA 306 which is the cheaper version 35 00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:34,800 the packaging on this one is definitely not as I hate these things 36 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,599 not as premium but we still got the cellophane wrap oh 37 00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:46,260 wow it's much smaller look at that hey another one of these wonderful Sony 38 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:48,480 branded cables it is I identical cool I 39 00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:52,800 like the pocket ability of this I mean this is almost just the size of a wallet 40 00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:56,640 it's the same size as this cute little bellroy wallet I have which is about the 41 00:02:55,140 --> 00:03:02,160 same size as a credit card nice form factor on this one for sure the buttons 42 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,840 same deal it's actually all the exact 43 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,560 same but these ones see look they had the foresight on these ones to make the 44 00:03:05,459 --> 00:03:11,220 the volume buttons a little different so when you're feeling 45 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,180 I can feel that that one is distinctly larger and I know that that's volume and 46 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,500 these ones are just other although the power button being on the end here I 47 00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:23,040 could have gone for a power button on the other side maybe just so you don't 48 00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:26,519 accidentally hit it this guy also has micro SD 49 00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,659 type c a little spot for a hanger and then down 50 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,480 here is the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack so it's not gonna be a balanced 51 00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:38,040 output on this one just looking at the specs of these things on the Sony 52 00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:42,120 website they all have the same supported audio playback codec so like all of the 53 00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,560 same bit rates all the same codecs are supported they have the same amount of 54 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:51,540 Maximum output power on both the 3.5 mils and the balanced output they both 55 00:03:49,379 --> 00:03:55,980 can do USB DAC mode which is you plug it into your computer and just use it as a 56 00:03:53,459 --> 00:04:00,420 DAC man there's not a lot of specs wise visible differences they 57 00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:03,599 don't mention how big the battery is on these it just says rechargeable lithium 58 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,099 ion battery if using Bluetooth headphones with the lbac codec you're 59 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:12,780 going to be at around 11 hours and then with SPC you can get around 22 hours 60 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,699 interestingly enough the smaller one seems to have much better battery life 61 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,979 if you're just listening to 128 kilobit MP3s which I imagine you're not if using 62 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,979 a device like this you get 25 hours on 63 00:04:22,979 --> 00:04:28,800 the big expensive one and 36 hours on 64 00:04:25,979 --> 00:04:34,500 the smaller cheaper one kind of weird this thing is massive 65 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,199 the room for a bigger battery I know part of it being bigger is they've 66 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,180 implemented a lot of you know kind of fancier components and there's a giant 67 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,020 like copper block inside here to to prevent EMF from the components on the 68 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,680 board interfering with the audio if this thing had crazy output power for like 69 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:54,780 beefier headphones compared to this one I could kind of see that making sense 70 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,440 but uh it's a bit weird one thing you could I guess say is this one has a much 71 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,479 larger screen it seems like sound wise though many of the features about like 72 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,660 upscaling and remastering on the Fly and 73 00:05:03,479 --> 00:05:09,300 vinyl mode which Believe It or Not adds 74 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:13,320 vinyl like artifacts to your digital music which is so stupid we'll have to 75 00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:17,460 see if they sound any different that's what I'm really curious about hey look 76 00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:21,000 they're on but before we look at them a

pretty stock 86 00:05:53,160 --> 00:06:00,720 Android push the oh my God this one is so little so for scale here's an iPhone 87 00:05:57,539 --> 00:06:02,400 13 Pro Max this is a very small device I 88 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,300 mean it's credit card size for real right off the bat in terms of 89 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:11,160 responsiveness not the greatest I guess this one is really cheap so it's it's 90 00:06:08,699 --> 00:06:16,380 not that bad but this one is is really expensive 91 00:06:13,259 --> 00:06:18,840 so it's it's more bad oh my God this one 92 00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:22,979 is so little I can't get over this it's like 93 00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:24,660 this is like the prison version of a 94 00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:28,020 Walkman I guess if you already have a playlist set up it's not so bad but if 95 00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:33,360 you're trying to search for music on this thing regularly I could see the small screen being a bit of a problem in 96 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,620 terms of the responsiveness in a music apps this is Deezer 97 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:42,060 um it's pretty it's pretty cludgy I mean here's an 98 00:06:39,539 --> 00:06:44,240 iPhone after it's had a sec to load this one 99 00:06:45,419 --> 00:06:51,960 pretty bad I wouldn't say it's game breaking deal breaking but it's just a 100 00:06:50,220 --> 00:06:55,620 little weird you know clearly these aren't the Pinnacle of Android 101 00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:59,220 performance I'm sure if we tried to play a game on it it would be real bad but uh 102 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,080 it's more about the music so why don't we try that we have some exceptionally 103 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:09,300 fancy headphones here but I don't know if this is gonna be able to drive them 104 00:07:06,419 --> 00:07:13,560 very well or at all these are the reference five something or other from 105 00:07:11,819 --> 00:07:16,800 Abyss they're like six thousand US Dollars they're planar magnetic which 106 00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:20,400 means by Design they're going to be pretty hard to run they need quite a bit 107 00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:23,639 of power worst case scenario for this device so I do have a couple other pairs 108 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,020 of headphones to try oh yes I forgot how these are the the 109 00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:32,039 Pinnacle of comfort smaller 110 00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:37,740 editor cut this I just want to plug them in I've I've given up on balanced at 111 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:40,319 this point oh my God oh my God I can't 112 00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:45,360 use this thing oh this cannot drive these headphones it's 113 00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:49,800 so quiet I think if I had my smartphone right here turned at half volume it 114 00:07:47,819 --> 00:07:55,080 would be louder I'm only at 100 though it does go to 120. it's just barely 115 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:59,099 listenable to now hi Jake Sony what the hell 116 00:07:55,860 --> 00:08:00,960 that's a thing don't think about it okay 117 00:07:59,099 --> 00:08:06,960 I brought these as well these are also super hard to drive HD 800s that's right 118 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,500 so there that's at Absolute Maxwell This 119 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,500 is max volume 120 00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:19,860 be fair these are like ridiculously hard to drive headphones it's so quiet but 121 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:24,419 it's very quiet the HD 800s are definitely still hard to drive 122 00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:26,160 headphones that's absolute maximum I 123 00:08:24,419 --> 00:08:29,759 would listen to that on the bus I you can't we can't really evaluate this with 124 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:33,479 these headphones it's well that's a problem it's too much sauce for how 125 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,320 expensive this is I was kind of hoping it could push a little more power now 126 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:41,459 what I'm curious about is is it the same amount as this one because it says it is 127 00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:43,979 so we should see if they sound mostly the same yeah 128 00:08:43,979 --> 00:08:49,980 check the volume level excuse me don't let it be too you have to click OK and 129 00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:54,839 then it unlocks the volume so you can turn it back up 130 00:08:51,779 --> 00:08:56,399 that's louder what no way 131 00:08:54,839 --> 00:09:00,420 plug it into the other one I mean maybe there's some settings we haven't gone 132 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,200 into yet but it's louder ever so slightly okay now there's 133 00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:07,459 nothing there's no like sound to boost or anything like that okay give me again 134 00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:12,200 and switch it back over quickly okay upside down all right ready okay yeah 135 00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:17,880 I locked it damn it yeah it does seem 136 00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:23,820 louder from the outside that's a couple DB lighter yeah that's uh that's weird very weird is 137 00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:27,420 there additional settings on this one that aren't on the more expensive one no 138 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:30,779 that doesn't make sense no it doesn't look they're better Electronics in here 139 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:35,700 you should see the product page with louder is better Jake look at all these 140 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:38,459 buzzwords we got hold on hold on hold on 141 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:43,019 large solid High polymer capacitors so like a normal capacitor we've got large 142 00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:45,720 coils we've got oxygen free copper blocks oh you got to say oxygen free 143 00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:52,980 copper that's what we acquire yeah we got oxygen free copper cable crystal oscillators everything has high quality 144 00:09:50,459 --> 00:09:56,700 solder containing gold even their Reflow solder contains gold it's a waste of 145 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,540 gold optimized circuit board layout but other than that the specs like all of 146 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:05,580 the Kodak support the quality support between the two of them is the same this 147 00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:09,600 one gets like more battery life for some reason 148 00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:13,140 it's like 36 hours with a 128 kilobit 149 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,880 MP3 and this one is 25 like it's it's 150 00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:19,500 noticeably that's like 30 less it's unheard I wasn't expecting to run into 151 00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:23,279 this problem uh I was expecting these to be too loud 152 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:28,080 to be usable at least you know I want to try it with my phone 153 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:34,620 you're joking no I want to see the comparable boxes Christ yeah I mean I do 154 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,019 have these uh Sony xm5s we can use these 155 00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:39,660 with Bluetooth I'd say the volume is actually pretty similar between this and 156 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,579 your phone which I guess kind of makes sense sort of um 157 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:49,079 but it sounded different you I think you should try it okay give me these play 158 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:51,240 that again it does sound like better I think 159 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,779 wait maybe let's check the settings that's imperceptively that's the same 160 00:10:53,399 --> 00:11:01,620 seems like the same now it might have just been that the quality was set differently before why did I prefer it 161 00:10:57,779 --> 00:11:03,060 when it was set lower then I don't know 162 00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:05,940 maybe you just can't drive these headphones properly this is a bit 163 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:14,040 disappointing I'm gonna go see if there's any headphones I can just quickly borrow that could run 164 00:11:09,959 --> 00:11:16,260 like six sixes or 600 and now a moment 165 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,339 with Dad the part of a show where Dan keeps the 166 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:26,579 audience buying headphones what will happen this week oh it's heavy 167 00:11:23,459 --> 00:11:29,220 let's find it you had enough room to put 168 00:11:26,579 --> 00:11:34,320 a quarter inch Jack on it why didn't why did you put a quarter inch Jack on it 169 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:36,000 this has been one time with Dad well 170 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,380 Jake goes to find headphones let's not do it at max volume just in case today 171 00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:44,160 it's capable you don't care about yours okay here's 172 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,660 like I'm I'm holding that headphone button down 173 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:52,860 you see it keep going after I let go it's got lag in it all right I'm just 174 00:11:50,459 --> 00:11:55,680 gonna send it full volume same it's the same 175 00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:58,700 it totally sounds are you sure these aren't 300 ohm as well 176 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,060 just put them on your head 177 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,579 go for it the 90 178 00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:13,440 that's Max how loud is it though 179 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:19,680 that's uh pretty loud that's pretty loud that's like I want to enjoy this song 180 00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:21,300 kind of volume long listening but like 181 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:27,779 that's kind of the volume that I would expect maybe this is like I'm intoxicated level 182 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:32,160 of volume yeah like oh you messed me up but I don't know that's 183 00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:36,000 kind of where I would think a hundred should be and then you have 100 I can't 184 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,540 hear you at all I know yeah it's good you're nice and isolated what is the 185 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:48,360 impedance of these I don't know like five five oh yes thanks Dan 38 38. okay all 186 00:12:46,139 --> 00:12:52,440 right it's too bad because otherwise it's a cool looking device I mean the 187 00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:57,420 sound sounds good but you can't even really push headphones far enough to to 188 00:12:54,540 --> 00:13:03,000 see how good they sound I guess they talk a lot about Bluetooth maybe that's 189 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:05,100 the vibe you want a Walkman for your 190 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,959 Bluetooth headphones should we should probably just try it at least right I 191 00:13:06,899 --> 00:13:11,459 guess I don't wanna listen to music 192 00:13:09,959 --> 00:13:18,839 quietly it popped up there we go holy 193 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,680 God damn it just I love current gear don't you I would 194 00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:25,760 like to click 17 different prompts before I can use this app 195 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,100 sounds like Bluetooth headphones sounds like music this is kind of a hard one 196 00:13:30,779 --> 00:13:38,040 because I mean from a from a value standpoint if 197 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:43,680 this device maybe it is clearer audio but it's kind of indiscernible from your 198 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,060 smartphone in terms of quality because it can't push headphones enough to 199 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,420 really see I don't know if there's kind of any reason to buy these so it's kind 200 00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:57,300 of it's kind of lame for 900 and 350 I mean 201 00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:59,639 maybe this if you're like one of those people that doesn't like to carry around 202 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:05,339 a smartphone but you still want to listen to music I don't know 203 00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:07,200 so overall you got some thoughts 900 is 204 00:14:05,339 --> 00:14:12,060 a lot of money for okay ignore this one let's say you're a 350 one this one's 205 00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:16,320 louder anyways yeah a little bit uh I don't know for 350 bucks 206 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:19,500 it can't even drive the headphones that I wanted to it's not like I'm gonna use 207 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,860 Bluetooth with it because the digital to analog conversion is no longer happening 208 00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:29,639 on that device it's happening on my headphones so why do I need a DAC in the 209 00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:31,800 unit if it's not even gonna get used and 210 00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:34,920 it seems to struggle with volume I'm sure the interface is fine but it's just 211 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,720 Android it's a little slow seems sluggish yeah it doesn't do anything 212 00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:42,120 that my phone can't do it seems like the 213 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:46,680 only use case I can conceivably think of for a product like this is to sell it to 214 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,699 people who have too much money or for people that don't want to carry around a 215 00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:54,480 phone I can understand trying to go a little bit you know less plugged in all 216 00:14:53,100 --> 00:15:00,060 the time which is funny because you're going to plug in music okay to be clear I mean the 800s and the 650s are not 217 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:04,139 easy to drive headphones but they're also not the hardest to drive headphones 218 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,160 either no um if you're running planar magnetics don't buy this 219 00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:13,320 if you're running anything other than like m50x's don't buy this I would even 220 00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:18,300 say it m50x probably don't buy 10 ohm headphones maybe buy a cheap Android 221 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,399 smartphone and turn cellular off God 222 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:25,920 it's just this is such a like an enigma it's like high high quality so 223 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:29,399 disappointed it's a high quality DAC but with not enough amp to run it on high 224 00:15:28,019 --> 00:15:34,199 quality enough headphones that you could appreciate the deck yeah well it's a few 225 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:38,160 days later now and we've made some interesting to say the least discoveries 226 00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:41,760 after shooting the first part of this video and kind of coming to the 227 00:15:39,779 --> 00:15:44,940 conclusion that this thing was like ah just not enough power right I was 228 00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:49,500 looking through the manuals and found mention of a high gain mode but we 229 00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:53,160 didn't really see that during the shoot and I actually went and checked on the 230 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:57,600 devices after the fact and there is no visible High Gain mode anywhere in the 231 00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:01,620 settings or the volume app there's also no mention of it on Sony's website in 232 00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:05,639 the specs page for either of those devices except if you go to the Sony 233 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:10,320 Asia website for the same products then it shows you can double the output power 234 00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:14,820 of both the 3.5 mil Jack and the balanced output in High Gain mode on the 235 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:19,920 same devices why you can't access this in North America I don't know but the 236 00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:24,600 really sus thing I just checked out the signature series version that's like 3 237 00:16:21,959 --> 00:16:29,820 600 US dollars with Adam well that one has High Gain mode it's in North America 238 00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:31,800 on the Sony USA website it shows High 239 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:37,320 Gain mode so the only thing I can conceivably see here is that they are 240 00:16:34,199 --> 00:16:39,779 purposely limiting these devices to make 241 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:43,259 their really expensive one seem more appealing 242 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:47,100 this one is already expensive it's over a thousand dollars but I guess if you 243 00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:51,959 want to use headphones that are any good with it you have to buy the 3600 one I 244 00:16:50,339 --> 00:16:55,199 don't know why they do this I guess my conclusion is you just shouldn't buy 245 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:59,579 these things unless you listen on really really easy to drive headphones in which 246 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:03,060 case you should probably just use your smartphone I really don't see a 247 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:07,799 situation where you should buy either of these devices it's just mind-boggling 248 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:11,880 that they would purposely limit them especially considering that the hardware 249 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,720 can do that sort of output I don't think you should buy these they're kind of 250 00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:18,720 slow in Android they can't really power any headphones that are reasonable it's 251 00:17:17,939 --> 00:17:23,540 just I don't really know why it exists it's 252 00:17:20,939 --> 00:17:29,580 kind of making the the legendary Walkman disappointing I'm I'm not very nostalgic 253 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:36,660 anymore well if you guys like this video hit the like button if you didn't don't 254 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:39,120 get subscribed maybe check out the 255 00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:43,220 one of Adam's short circuits on some headphones because those are good either 256 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,220 way bye
