1
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:12,160
free bird bear dynamic it's the new hotness

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:16,960
mayor dynamic has taken their first step into the truly wireless audio space with

3
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,439
their free bird headphones beard dynamic is a massive a long time player in the

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,119
audio space they make some of like the de facto studio recording equipment like

5
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:33,120
the dt 770 pros so bear dynamic is bringing years of experience in the

6
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:34,880
audio game to these wireless headphones

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,399
but just because you make good sounding headphones doesn't mean you make good

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,200
wireless headphones because there's a lot of other tech that is expected of

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,719
wireless headphones such as noise canceling

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,879
microphones for doing voice calling and stuff like that get off of there and

11
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:56,320
these have a lot of that tech built in they support qualcomm aptx adaptive as

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,960
well as aac i'm not sure if they support ldac i really hope they do that's a

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,439
just because you know bear dynamics an audio company lossless audio from ldac

14
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,720
it features qualcomm's cvc microphone technology which is a

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,119
noise cancelling technology for microphones so like if you're in a noisy

16
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:16,799
room or there's wind it'll help cut out some of that noise but yeah bear

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,280
dynamics hitting it hitting a lot of the things we want and also looking pretty

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,040
slick but before we get to those let's see what else is in the box because it's

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:30,000
telling us it's telling us right here see find out more

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:35,200
paper whoa holy cow look at all the ear tips uh we

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:40,479
have a USB-C to a connector for charging your case and a whole

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,640
lot of ear tips we have

23
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,200
five silicon ear tips and three sets of foam ear tips which is amazing because

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,439
everybody's got different ears having this kind of selection make sure that you get a proper seal and the things

25
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:56,719
sound great and also having foam tips is great because uh there's people who have like silicon allergies or get irritation

26
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:00,479
from silicon and foam tips tend to be a little bit softer on the ear and we

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,040
should mention price these are 250 dollars which puts them at about 30 more

28
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:08,959
expensive than airpods pros but in terms of features and what you're getting in

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,760
the box it looks like a good start also you know what else is nice is that they

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,360
color-coded the insides of the ear tips so that if you don't have them in the

31
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,800
box anymore you can still tell which sizes are which because they won't have

32
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,599
labels on them but at least you have this tiny little piece of paper so you

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,879
can just keep this and then not have a box taking up space

34
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,640
these also support fast pairing with Android phones which is nice that's basically the uh like magic pairing

35
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:33,680
equivalent for Android so you just kind of open these near your phone your phone

36
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,800
recognizes it and then you're off to the races also something i've just noticed now is that i think this is all

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,840
recyclable packaging so kudos aerodynamic that's great

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,959
oh these kind of look sick hinge is a little bit mid tier not gonna

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,840
lie better dynamic your hinge game is a little bit weak but uh

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,239
look at those don't those look pretty i mean just look at these these are

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,239
pretty big they're thick boys also these are rated ipx4 which is sweat resistance

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,319
like so splashes stuff like that don't take them swimming but if you're gonna work out in these uh

43
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,599
they'll should have they should hold up to sweat sweet these i'm actually so stoked about these this is like these

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,040
look great they kind of look like guitar picks they look like a plectrum

45
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,440
oh they designed them to look that way too

46
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,360
uh that's kind of cute sweet i'm really i'm very excited to listen to these i'm

47
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:26,879
gonna get some ear tips on these let's try the foam ones today something to

48
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,680
note is that your choice in ear tips can affect the sound a lot of times foam ear

49
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:32,720
tips can soften things a little bit um

50
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,680
you know kind of makes sense if you think about how foam absorbs you know sound waves and stuff like that

51
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:41,200
it's tough to say but it depends on what fits in your ears the best that's the

52
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:44,720
most important thing is what works for you but before we listen to these let's

53
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,000
talk about our sponsor vesey vessy footwear is known for being lightweight

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,760
easy to pack comfortable and most importantly water resistant with its

55
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:54,799
dimetex technology their everyday move line is designed with added support at

56
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,640
the midsole and better breathability to keep up with your active lifestyle take

57
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,239
them off put them on with ease thanks to the handy pull tab it's also made

58
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,760
creature free so every step you take will be guilt free your feet will thank

59
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,640
you for wearing these so say goodbye to wet socks and save 25 with our offer

60
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,000
code ShortCircuit at vesey.com ShortCircuit i like buttons i didn't see any

61
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,120
buttons on these which i don't like i like buttons personally it looks like they use this central band across the

62
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,639
middle that's where the touch commands actually happen tap and hold to activate

63
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,320
the voice assistant oh yeah speaking of voice assistants apparently these have

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,080
alexa i'm not a hundred percent sure what that means because i think it would

65
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,560
just use the voice assistant that you have active on your phone

66
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,600
um so maybe these have alexa like at any time if you're not connected to

67
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,759
something or if you're connected to like your computer that doesn't have a smart

68
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,440
assistant these do have fast pairing to like with airpods on an iphone you just

69
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,240
open them and then they go wow apparently you have to press the buttons

70
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:55,520
on these tap tap hold oh and there you go they popped up right

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,240
there okay and in the app we have ways

72
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:03,360
to select our anc modes on off and transparent our low latency mode which

73
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:07,280
is great you can see uptime playback time phone time and starts which is kind

74
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,520
of interesting so if you like keeping stats i don't know maybe you're a last

75
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,840
fm kind of person i know i am and see sound profiles personalize your sound

76
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,080
with mimi oh okay so you do a hearing test

77
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,800
set a volume that is loud yet comfortable how uh how do these look do they stick

78
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,600
out pretty far it feels like they stick out pretty far

79
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,960
equalizer oh do they not have a they

80
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,400
don't have a real equalizer they only have sound profiles which is kind of a bummer but they have

81
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:39,120
lots of different ones okay they have a control demonstration

82
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,520
in here which is cool open manual online we're going to take a listen before we

83
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:48,000
do any sort of app personalization we're going to take a listen the anc is currently on it's quite nice a lot of a

84
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:53,919
and c a lot of automatic noise canceling will cause like a small hiss to occur i

85
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,960
hear nothing this is just like

86
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:00,000
silence at least it doesn't sound like anything's coming from the headphone there's not a lot of sound on set right

87
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,160
now but it's doing a good job of like blocking the low hum of the hvac that's

88
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:10,479
going around the building like it just completely disappears when i put the a

89
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:12,639
and c in a and c off i am now hearing

90
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:15,680
the hvac system come back on transparency mode

91
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,720
just hi oh it sounded great

92
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,000
it's tough to tell can you talk like quietly

93
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,800
talk like yeah talk like you're telling a secret to david

94
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:34,400
i hear you the transparency mode sounds good and relatively natural audio quality

95
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,639
lossless okay

96
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:43,600
we're in um these first thing that i noticed is that

97
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,280
these have quite a wide sound stage um

98
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,599
this seems like the hi-hats in this song they're usually panned pretty far to the

99
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,440
right um whereas the snare is like right in the middle it's very positional

100
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,800
there's quite a lot of detail like in this song you can hear it feels like i

101
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,280
can almost hear the bassist like plucking the bass as

102
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:06,319
opposed to just a bass note these sound really good listening to like sue found

103
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:08,880
stevens it sounds very the intimacy of the track comes through his voice it

104
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:14,000
sounds like he's always singing directly to you at the same time i still feel like i'm capturing like the grandeur of

105
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,800
all of his orchestrations in this track

106
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:20,639
well everything also is very distinct and separated it feels like i can hear every single instrument that's in the

107
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,560
mix out of the box they sound great but let's do their

108
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:29,919
audio personalization maybe maybe my sound will be the best sound it says

109
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:34,960
during the test you will have to focus on the beeping sound the beep will disappear into the noise the background

110
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:39,039
noise will always be there they give you a sample of what to expect okay let's

111
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,520
start let's practice round oh

112
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,759
i did it wrong range of details i usually hear versus

113
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,240
range of details restored by sound personalization oh apparently i am very

114
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,919
sub-optimal i'm going to listen to something that i know very

115
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,039
well also these automatically these have in-ear detection they keep pausing when

116
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,960
i take them out okay so basically what it's doing is that it's applying

117
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:03,840
uh customized eq based on my results on the hearing test i think there's a

118
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,599
little bit of a performance error on my part to me it's

119
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,240
a little bit overbearing they do bring up the highs because i do have like some

120
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:16,080
hearing loss at my age like it's the natural thing you just kind of lose the

121
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,919
higher end of your hearing it didn't ruin the music but it uh

122
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,680
it did change it a little bit so let's do a quick

123
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:28,080
airpods comparison just to uh you know probably the most direct

124
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:31,759
competitor you can see a little bit thicker

125
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,919
a little bit longer a little bit shorter

126
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,479
very similar shape though um you know they both sound really good

127
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,800
these definitely have more presence in the low end compared to the air pods and

128
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:50,160
it definitely they might have a bit of a v curve assigned like applied to them so

129
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,399
a v curve is where the mids are kind of recessed and you hear a little bit of a

130
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,040
bumper very at the very low base end to like get extra oomph and thump and then

131
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,440
at the high end you get a little bit of extra detail and sparkle because they

132
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,600
crank up some of the higher frequencies yeah these sound so good that extra kind

133
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,800
of like they bring that kind of extra life to the mix and the extra little bits of detail that i'm hearing don't

134
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,160
seem just to be from an equalizing curve it sounds like there's actually a little

135
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:20,160
bit of a more detailed response so these get up to 11 hours of battery life on a

136
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:26,720
single lesson i assume that's without noise canceling on these get

137
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,480
five hours without noise canceling on

138
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:34,000
like even if so like even if noise canceling is on and assuming they're not just straight up totally lying you're

139
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,839
still gonna be expecting like probably eight hours of listening time

140
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,279
that's ridonkulous this is a mic test for the free bird uh

141
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:47,360
the bear dammit free birds um if i leave here tomorrow

142
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:51,519
would you still remember me for i must be traveling on now

143
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:54,399
because there's too many places i've got to see

144
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:57,680
but if i stay here with you girl

145
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,399
things just couldn't be the same because i'm as free as a bird now

146
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,320
and this bird you cannot change i've learned how not to miss the age of

147
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,560
tenderness that i'm so lucky to have seen once and now that i've become older

148
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:15,120
i've learned how to brush over my history and how it's sequenced

149
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:17,920
um listening back to the microphone quality

150
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,160
you can tell that there's a lot more processing on the bayer dynamics than on

151
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,040
the apple air pods but the airpods did sound better and

152
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,760
that's probably because they put their mics on the little sticks they're just literally closer to your mouth

153
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:33,120
that's always going to be better i'm trying to do the volume

154
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,800
tap tap oh okay so it's tap hold and then it will like go up step step step step step

155
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:43,279
step so it's not like tap hold tap hold tap hold um there's no delay the

156
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,640
controls seem to be working well i have it

157
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:51,519
like they're definitely like you can brush against them and stuff will happen

158
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:55,600
it's still touch controls but they're pretty responsive i like that from the

159
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,800
time i've spent with these i can just i can wholeheartedly recommend them they

160
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:04,720
sound excellent the app needs some work still there's features missing like a full eq

161
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,000
and like it's kind of wonky with the connection sometimes like sometimes i'll

162
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:12,720
have them beside me and in the case and it won't let me edit them or anything

163
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,120
let's see how the anc sound works on these we'll start with the airpods

164
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,360
because we know that they work really well

165
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,800
apple airpods they have good a and c who would have thunk

166
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:29,760
now let's see the bare dynamics it definitely

167
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,160
it's cutting out less

168
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:36,959
than these but it's like it's sounds more natural i don't know yeah

169
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:41,839
the anc is definitely working better on the airpods um so i think if anc is

170
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,920
really important to you then you might want to stick with airpods pros

171
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,959
i'm gonna i'm gonna keep them

172
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,440
i'm gonna i'm probably gonna keep these around i definitely wanna spend more time with these

173
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,920
so uh yeah that's the second fun this is this is

174
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,040
the second pair of headphones that i've really enjoyed on here
