00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,080
as one of the internet's most prominent style icons air pods

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,639
more like poverty pods Abyss

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,019
ew where's the Gucci logo

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,060
but Louis Vuitton earphones

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:26,519
my wallet senses are tingling at 1200 US dollars I can rest assured

6
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:32,340
that if I buy these not only will I be getting the best of the best but I'll

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,980
know that I am the best of the best

8
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:39,300
right they specialize in cutting up leather and sewing it together what

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,480
exactly makes you think that any of that translates to designing Electronics oh

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:50,160
shut up poor lioness you're just jealous jealous you're jealous of me and my

15
00:01:12,619 --> 00:01:19,140
thank you like most of you I'm skeptical

16
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:25,140
that the LV Horizon earphones can live up to both their lofty price tag and the

17
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:29,700
Bold claims on their product page but let's give them a chance okay right out

18
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:34,259
of the gate you have to give credit where it's due when you buy something

19
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:39,659
this expensive you expect an experience from the moment that you open the box

20
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:41,159
and Louis Vuitton delivers the outer box

21
00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:47,400
opens to reveal wait is this real leather

22
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:55,979
gotta admit that's pretty extra you unzip your little luggage and

23
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,000
wow this charging case is quite the

24
00:01:55,979 --> 00:02:00,960
statement the earphones themselves are beautifully

25
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,979
displayed through a sapphire glass top bearing the iconic Louis Vuitton

26
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:10,140
Monogram around the crown the body is made of this sandblasted steel that has

27
00:02:07,619 --> 00:02:15,780
a reassuringly expensive feeling weight to it and it features what feels like a

28
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:19,860
basically seamless ceramic bottom for wireless QI charging if your top

29
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:24,360
priority is making sure that everyone knows what brand of earphones you bought

30
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:29,099
then boy howdy did you ever come to the right place the lid opens with a

31
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:35,280
satisfying springiness and closes with a nice plaque or at least it did after

32
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:40,200
only a few days of gentle use the case now has kind of a grainy and looseness

33
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:46,200
to the hinge that Frankly Speaking feels more h m than Louis V and for all its

34
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:50,400
external niceness the plastic on top where the earphones actually reside

35
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:55,739
where you kind of like fumbling and putting them in was so easily scratched

36
00:02:53,160 --> 00:03:00,480
by my gorgeous painted fingernails that it made it look all scuffy and abused

37
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:04,560
after just two weeks thankfully the same is not true of the headphones which

38
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:08,940
still look exactly as luxurious as the day my assistant wired them the money as

39
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:15,080
for whether the luxurious look transfers to the owner well

40
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:17,640
I'll let you guys be the judge of that

41
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:21,060
gorgeous baby but I'm more concerned with how they function in terms of

42
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:25,379
features they have everything that you'd expect from a pair of Premium true

43
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:31,140
wireless earphones Bluetooth 5.0 active noise canceling and proximity sensors

44
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:33,480
for auto pause and play and I gotta be

45
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:38,640
honest with you guys I love the interface there are physical buttons on

46
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,440
both earphones that you press down from the top which is way better than

47
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,860
inconsistent touch controls or buttons that cause you to mash the earphones

48
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,599
ever deeper into your ear canal the right one has a single button for pause

49
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:57,239
play and change tracks and the left has two buttons for volume control thank you

50
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:01,080
lV for not forcing me to engage with a voice assistant just to change the

51
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,920
volume of my music you can also use these buttons to toggle between active

52
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:11,939
noise cancellation and transparency mode as for how they sound however truthfully

53
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,139
they're mediocre at best they feature a strong v-shaped sound signature and

54
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:21,120
while the highs do have nice detail without Crossing into harsh territory

55
00:04:17,699 --> 00:04:23,040
the base is an absolute ready mess I

56
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,020
believe is the term for it very low frequencies get boosted so much more

57
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,860
than the mid bass that low instruments that sit above the thump of the kick

58
00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:35,699
drum get completely lost in the mix and if there's a bass line that moves up and

59
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,600
down the neck it becomes really distracting how much that instrument can

60
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,520
vary in volume so if you're someone coming from a mid forward headphone like

61
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:48,540
Apple's airpods Pro you may find your music sounding a little bit Hollow and

62
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:52,979
this trend continues looking at the quality of The Horizon's active noise

63
00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:54,720
cancellation it's serviceable aided

64
00:04:52,979 --> 00:05:00,000
significantly by the strong noise isolation of their in-ear Canal design

65
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:04,919
but it falls really flat compared to the competent Galaxy buds Pro and the

66
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:10,680
excellent airpods Pro both of which I can't believe I'm saying this are cheap

67
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,840
in comparison thankfully the ANC isn't

68
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,860
unpleasant to use like I didn't get a strong pressure sensation on my eardrums

69
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:21,960
but there is a noticeable background hiss when it's active and it also didn't

70
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,520
manage to do much to minimize constant background noises like an airplane

71
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,020
engine or a GPU fan let alone a maniac

72
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:33,060
on a rooftop screaming about the incredible products at lttstore.com the

73
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,960
headphones feature Qualcomm app decks for low latency content consumption and

74
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:42,240
mobile gaming though how much content you'll want to consume is tough to say

75
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,960
because they're really that comfortable even with the smallest ear tips you got

76
00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:50,160
to really push these into your ears to get a good seal they'll again credit

77
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,759
where it's due their claims of long battery life appear to hold water I fell

78
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:57,479
asleep wearing them on my flight to Tel Aviv and I woke up pleased to find out

79
00:05:55,740 --> 00:06:02,699
that they were a still running hours later and B that my ears didn't hurt

80
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:06,479
though I never forget that I'm wearing them like I do with my daily driver

81
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:10,919
airpods Pros oh excuse me

82
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,240
my quality is decent but I gotta say it

83
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:16,340
falls apart a little bit if you're surrounded by noise or traffic

84
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,759
with that said nobody chooses the horizons for any of

85
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:28,800
the stuff that I just talked about I mean even for Shoppers in this price

86
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,979
band they could never justify how much

87
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,259
these cost based on how they perform you

88
00:06:31,979 --> 00:06:39,240
can only justify their cost based on how they make you feel so

89
00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:45,900
let's get back to the packaging the box is huge and we've actually only explored

90
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:50,160
half of it I'm sure for twelve hundred dollars they've got all kinds of little

91
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:55,680
premium goodies in here we've got a braided USBC to C cable along with an a

92
00:06:52,860 --> 00:07:01,380
to c adapter and what appears to be a leather cable tie classic cotton baggie

93
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:07,860
full of bits and bobbles some extra ear tips we got some extra

94
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,840
ear wings and each and individual

95
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:15,060
plastic packages wait that's it

96
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:17,400
why is this box so big I mean here's a

97
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:25,020
box for airpods pros here's a box for an iPhone 13. now with

98
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:27,479
100 less charger and this is the box for

99
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:32,220
the Horizon earphones this is a problem

100
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:37,139
at lttstore.com we've put significant time into making our packaging more

101
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,900
sustainable and to see lvmh a multi 100

102
00:07:37,139 --> 00:07:44,280
billion dollar Corporation claim on their website that this is somehow

103
00:07:42,419 --> 00:07:49,860
eco-friendly it's frustrating I mean it does appear

104
00:07:46,979 --> 00:07:53,580
to be mostly made of cardboard which is good but it also comes with a leather

105
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,840
case that serves no purpose other than to slow down your access to your

106
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:03,419
earphones not one but two of these non-recyclable cotton bags and

107
00:08:00,139 --> 00:08:05,039
unnecessary plastic waste in a massive

108
00:08:03,419 --> 00:08:09,479
box filled with mostly empty space meaning that when you ship a crate of

109
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:13,860
these things you're shipping mostly air I mean I'm not saying it's the worst

110
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:17,819
packaging we've ever seen not even by a long shot or I'm not even saying that

111
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:22,199
we're so much better to be very clear I'm just saying that calling this

112
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:27,120
eco-friendly is disingenuous green washing and they need to stop fronting

113
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,500
and that's kind of the main issue with this product it's all fronting Louis

114
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:35,339
Vuitton wants you to think that this product is better than it is so that

115
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:40,560
people who want to look and feel richer than they are can spend exactly 472

116
00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:46,980
percent more than these are worth how do we come to that figure you might ask by

117
00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:50,339
dividing 1180 US Dollars over 250 US

118
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:54,000
Dollars the price of these the master in

119
00:08:50,339 --> 00:08:56,040
Dynamic mw-07 plus earphones buy these

120
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:02,640
ones hmm the shape identical the sound identical

121
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:05,519
the controls identical the materials

122
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:09,180
features accessories identical identical identical the case

123
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:12,420
different also the design on the earbuds

124
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,519
themselves is a little bit nicer in my opinion and the packaging is far more

125
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:22,380
reasonable so Louis Vuitton is charging you about nine hundred dollars for their

126
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:28,380
admittedly nice carrying case and their design work here and a little Leather

127
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Pouch with a zipper on it though oops really that strange actually is it what

128
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:38,040
is strange is that Master and dynamic are a reputable headphone brand known

129
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:43,080
for their quality products and yet their name is absolutely nowhere to be found

130
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:47,160
on the horizon earphones nowhere on the product packaging or website do they

131
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:53,040
even hint at the partnership like you might see with LG's with Meridian or

132
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:57,720
Samsung's Sound by Sam's excuse me I mean AKG maybe they don't want to

133
00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:02,339
confuse their potential customers I mean I'd be confused if I was spending twelve

134
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:05,880
hundred dollars on 18 grams of goods and getting something other than solid 24

135
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:10,019
karat gold to be clear I don't have a problem

136
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,399
paying more for high quality stuff that's totally okay I mean I bought

137
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,720
Cinema cameras back in the day to elevate our content for fifty thousand

138
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,740
dollars a piece I mean there's there's a reason that LTT products aren't as cheap

139
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:28,920
as a lot of other merch I care about quality and I care about longevity I

140
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:31,680
just also care about value

141
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:35,640
and these earbuds they are going to be so worthless in a couple of years when

142
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:40,440
their battery dies that they will almost certainly end up in a landfill at that

143
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:44,579
point so while I will not go as far as to say never buy anything from Louis

144
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,140
Vuitton it's stupid I will say that if you really want to

145
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:53,579
buy something from Louis Vuitton buy a bag or a watch something that could last

146
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:57,300
you a long time conceivably that you could pass down to your spoiled children

147
00:10:55,079 --> 00:11:01,800
or at least resell later or better yet actually just don't and

148
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:06,540
buy something sensible like from our sponsor privacy holiday shopping is well

I think that's the last time I dunked this hard on something this unnecessary
