WEBVTT

00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:12.160
free bird bear dynamic it's the new hotness

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:16.960
mayor dynamic has taken their first step into the truly wireless audio space with

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:21.439
their free bird headphones beard dynamic is a massive a long time player in the

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:27.119
audio space they make some of like the de facto studio recording equipment like

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:33.120
the dt 770 pros so bear dynamic is bringing years of experience in the

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:34.880
audio game to these wireless headphones

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.399
but just because you make good sounding headphones doesn't mean you make good

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.200
wireless headphones because there's a lot of other tech that is expected of

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.719
wireless headphones such as noise canceling

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.879
microphones for doing voice calling and stuff like that get off of there and

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:56.320
these have a lot of that tech built in they support qualcomm aptx adaptive as

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

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.439
just because you know bear dynamics an audio company lossless audio from ldac

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.720
it features qualcomm's cvc microphone technology which is a

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.119
noise cancelling technology for microphones so like if you're in a noisy

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

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.280
dynamics hitting it hitting a lot of the things we want and also looking pretty

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

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:30.000
telling us it's telling us right here see find out more

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:35.200
paper whoa holy cow look at all the ear tips uh we

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:40.479
have a USB-C to a connector for charging your case and a whole

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:42.640
lot of ear tips we have

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.200
five silicon ear tips and three sets of foam ear tips which is amazing because

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

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

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

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.040
should mention price these are 250 dollars which puts them at about 30 more

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.959
expensive than airpods pros but in terms of features and what you're getting in

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

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

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.800
box anymore you can still tell which sizes are which because they won't have

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:21.599
labels on them but at least you have this tiny little piece of paper so you

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.879
can just keep this and then not have a box taking up space

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

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.680
equivalent for Android so you just kind of open these near your phone your phone

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

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.840
recyclable packaging so kudos aerodynamic that's great

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.959
oh these kind of look sick hinge is a little bit mid tier not gonna

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.840
lie better dynamic your hinge game is a little bit weak but uh

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:58.239
look at those don't those look pretty i mean just look at these these are

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:02.239
pretty big they're thick boys also these are rated ipx4 which is sweat resistance

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

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

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:15.040
look great they kind of look like guitar picks they look like a plectrum

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.440
oh they designed them to look that way too

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

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.879
gonna get some ear tips on these let's try the foam ones today something to

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

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:32.720
tips can soften things a little bit um

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

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

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:44.720
most important thing is what works for you but before we listen to these let's

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.000
talk about our sponsor vesey vessy footwear is known for being lightweight

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.760
easy to pack comfortable and most importantly water resistant with its

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.799
dimetex technology their everyday move line is designed with added support at

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:58.640
the midsole and better breathability to keep up with your active lifestyle take

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

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.760
creature free so every step you take will be guilt free your feet will thank

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:10.640
you for wearing these so say goodbye to wet socks and save 25 with our offer

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.000
code ShortCircuit at vesey.com ShortCircuit i like buttons i didn't see any

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

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.639
middle that's where the touch commands actually happen tap and hold to activate

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.320
the voice assistant oh yeah speaking of voice assistants apparently these have

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.080
alexa i'm not a hundred percent sure what that means because i think it would

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.560
just use the voice assistant that you have active on your phone

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:37.600
um so maybe these have alexa like at any time if you're not connected to

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.759
something or if you're connected to like your computer that doesn't have a smart

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.440
assistant these do have fast pairing to like with airpods on an iphone you just

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.240
open them and then they go wow apparently you have to press the buttons

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:55.520
on these tap tap hold oh and there you go they popped up right

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.240
there okay and in the app we have ways

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:03.360
to select our anc modes on off and transparent our low latency mode which

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:07.280
is great you can see uptime playback time phone time and starts which is kind

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

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:15.840
fm kind of person i know i am and see sound profiles personalize your sound

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:18.080
with mimi oh okay so you do a hearing test

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

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:27.600
out pretty far it feels like they stick out pretty far

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.960
equalizer oh do they not have a they

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

00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:39.120
lots of different ones okay they have a control demonstration

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

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

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

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.960
hear nothing this is just like

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

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

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:10.479
going around the building like it just completely disappears when i put the a

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.639
and c in a and c off i am now hearing

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:15.680
the hvac system come back on transparency mode

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:20.720
just hi oh it sounded great

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.000
it's tough to tell can you talk like quietly

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:26.800
talk like yeah talk like you're telling a secret to david

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.400
i hear you the transparency mode sounds good and relatively natural audio quality

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.639
lossless okay

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:43.600
we're in um these first thing that i noticed is that

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.280
these have quite a wide sound stage um

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

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:53.440
right um whereas the snare is like right in the middle it's very positional

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

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.280
can almost hear the bassist like plucking the bass as

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:06.319
opposed to just a bass note these sound really good listening to like sue found

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:08.880
stevens it sounds very the intimacy of the track comes through his voice it

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

00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:16.800
all of his orchestrations in this track

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

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:26.560
mix out of the box they sound great but let's do their

00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:29.919
audio personalization maybe maybe my sound will be the best sound it says

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

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

00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:41.520
start let's practice round oh

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.759
i did it wrong range of details i usually hear versus

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:50.240
range of details restored by sound personalization oh apparently i am very

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.919
sub-optimal i'm going to listen to something that i know very

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:57.039
well also these automatically these have in-ear detection they keep pausing when

00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:00.960
i take them out okay so basically what it's doing is that it's applying

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.840
uh customized eq based on my results on the hearing test i think there's a

00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.599
little bit of a performance error on my part to me it's

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:12.240
a little bit overbearing they do bring up the highs because i do have like some

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

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:19.919
higher end of your hearing it didn't ruin the music but it uh

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.680
it did change it a little bit so let's do a quick

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:28.080
airpods comparison just to uh you know probably the most direct

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:31.759
competitor you can see a little bit thicker

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:35.919
a little bit longer a little bit shorter

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.479
very similar shape though um you know they both sound really good

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:44.800
these definitely have more presence in the low end compared to the air pods and

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

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

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

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.440
at the high end you get a little bit of extra detail and sparkle because they

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.600
crank up some of the higher frequencies yeah these sound so good that extra kind

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

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:16.160
seem just to be from an equalizing curve it sounds like there's actually a little

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

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:26.720
single lesson i assume that's without noise canceling on these get

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.480
five hours without noise canceling on

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

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.839
still gonna be expecting like probably eight hours of listening time

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:43.279
that's ridonkulous this is a mic test for the free bird uh

00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:47.360
the bear dammit free birds um if i leave here tomorrow

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:51.519
would you still remember me for i must be traveling on now

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.399
because there's too many places i've got to see

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:57.680
but if i stay here with you girl

00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:02.399
things just couldn't be the same because i'm as free as a bird now

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:06.320
and this bird you cannot change i've learned how not to miss the age of

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

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.120
i've learned how to brush over my history and how it's sequenced

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:17.920
um listening back to the microphone quality

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.160
you can tell that there's a lot more processing on the bayer dynamics than on

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.040
the apple air pods but the airpods did sound better and

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

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:33.120
that's always going to be better i'm trying to do the volume

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

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

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:46.640
controls seem to be working well i have it

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:51.519
like they're definitely like you can brush against them and stuff will happen

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:55.600
it's still touch controls but they're pretty responsive i like that from the

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.800
time i've spent with these i can just i can wholeheartedly recommend them they

00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:04.720
sound excellent the app needs some work still there's features missing like a full eq

00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:08.000
and like it's kind of wonky with the connection sometimes like sometimes i'll

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

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.120
let's see how the anc sound works on these we'll start with the airpods

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.360
because we know that they work really well

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:24.800
apple airpods they have good a and c who would have thunk

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:29.760
now let's see the bare dynamics it definitely

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:32.160
it's cutting out less

00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:36.959
than these but it's like it's sounds more natural i don't know yeah

00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:41.839
the anc is definitely working better on the airpods um so i think if anc is

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.920
really important to you then you might want to stick with airpods pros

00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:48.959
i'm gonna i'm gonna keep them

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

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.920
so uh yeah that's the second fun this is this is

00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:59.040
the second pair of headphones that i've really enjoyed on here
