what a spoiler right on this box I you know I I purposely went out of my way to
not look at this thing but the new color of the OnePlus Pro wait OnePlus buds Pro
2 is green and it's on the box and I'm really excited we got the arbor green
ones and not the black ones because they look fire and because there's no white
but if I can't have the white the green it was my choice let's see what it looks like
IRL an exploded view of the drivers this
is a dual driver design with 11 mm and 6 mm drivers combined and looks like a
quick start guide again it tells you the Press area on the stem I read somewhere
that they were touch control so I thought maybe they had switched to being just capacitive but it does look like
there's a stem area to squeeze again I'll set this guy aside for now I'm
guessing this is the charging cable exact same cable from last year it's
this long it's USB a to c and then you
got your tips mediums are on the buds already and then that was satisfying I'm
chasing the dragon but that was honestly 80% is good got small as and large tips
right here the main event OnePlus now it says on the case Dy audio it's a nice
case very small compact kind of matte
finish on it not as creaky as before remember last time I was like and for
the sound of it satisfying they look so premium and
guess what they did the opposite of inflation 130 bucks for these they were
150 last time wow what a deal they look so dope for that price the industrial
design oh what who's this Pikachu and do
I have a tactile in this to the squeeze no good thing they have those
instructions in there cuz like you can't hear in like a non virtual terms any
kind of Click I'm going to put them on there's no way yeah there's no way
there's any kind of active noise canceling anything happening right now is there they work pretty well as just
good old fashioned earplugs now I want to see the pairing process between a
OnePlus device and a normal Android device in the past they always had like
a magic process with the OnePlus device but now we should get that across
Android devices with Android fast pair so let's see if there's still a
difference but first message from our sponsor thanks to jackary sponsoring
today's video Jack's new solar generator 1000 Pro is their fastest solar and wall
recharging generator yet it consists of a jackary Explorer 1000 Pro portable
power station and 80 W solar panels plug it into the wall and get a full charge
under 2 hours and deliver up to 100 watts of power thanks to the two 100 W
power delivery ports check out the new jackary solar generator 1000 pro at the
link below Pro bro this is not a OnePlus
phone right this is a Samsung and this prompt came up immediately I haven't
even pressed this button inside of the case which is the pairing button this is
a OnePlus phone pretty different and cool looking be sure to check out our
coverage of it separately and it has the same prompt so it looks like they're
fairly equalized uh-oh I didn't hit it though oh no how do I get it back Jack
come back device connected done wow it
is just that easy I guess I'll just do the Linus test you weirdos out there
that actually do do this it's too wide oh wait it does fit in there I hate that
so much I would never do that not only was it laborious to put in but then it's like right on your hip it's stupid just
put it in your pocket like a normal person lonus they're in there I feel
like I could be at the gym and be doing the opposite of a situp you do those
right you guys are making funny me but I can't hear you when you do get it
engaged properly it goes and then there's like a 1 second and then it
pauses by the way I got this shirt from LTD store.com isn't it cool usually my
wife wears it but not today I took it I have I'm having a tendency to have my
hand too out turned I need to go in like this that's okay now double tick tick
next song triple did nothing but I heard
a sound that's weird I'm going have to go into the app and see what that does later I'm going to hold this down now it
was like but I don't know what the hell that
means oh I think now that I've P paused the music it's more clear that I have
transparency on now can you speak to me again hello James that sounds very clear
speak hello James yeah this is ay now okay it's very gentle what if I hold it
for like 10 10 James seconds 1 1000 2
1000 3 1000
Four yes it starts playing bird noises
really you need that on the bud you need to access that from the bud
that's bizarre that's called Zen mode the bird noises was a Zen mode noise and
those are stored locally on the buds themselves so even if you don't have your phone phone you can still Zen out
which actually is a good move because if you want to Zen you want to unplug so
that's cool I respect that but just go outside man this that's Birds this music
sounds pretty good too I would say it's probably a bit pumped up base although I
do have a good seal so that's contributing but yeah these are very
rich sounding and I'm just grooving here but it might be because of hoodie and
the Blowfish all right I'm going to add my device to the hey Melody app there
they are you can choose which media you actually use the earbuds for in this
case they're pretty much all turned on except for contact sharing we got media
phone calls use them as an input device I guess uh using them for the assistant
counts for that earbud functions check that out okay this is like its own kind
of full-on pseudo app that's so weird what am I I want to go to the app
switcher to see what app I'm actually in I'm still in wireless settings and it
has the visual representation of the earbuds and the case it's got the
battery levels which is typical noise cancellation can turn that off from here
a transparent par see personalized noise
cancellation what is that noise cancellation effects are personalized to
your auditory canal your own personal hole to give you clearer sound turn it
on we got to do the we got to do the test guys I didn't study oh my God it
said it failed cuz my surroundings are too quiet can you guys just start making
noise and clapping hollering
dancing James James James James James it
worked guys thank you now I have been holding menu smart Max moderate mild and
smart or yeah and Smart's going to adapt it depending on your surrounding so they
had that in the last mall too you know you're walking around it's at a certain
level uh something noisy happens around you it cranks it up goes back down after
smart master EQ there so there's a couple eqs on here one of them is
actually made by D audio I believe that would be the default one then you got
bold serenade and bass base is descriptive enough but these bold and
serenade I have no idea what that means and there's no visual equalizer so I
can't see the shape of the response curve or anything what happens when I hit add see that's what I want to see
here I have yeah six different knobs that's okay and I get plus or minus 60b
yeah that's nice to see not going to do that now though high res mode play audio
and high resolution this is going to reduce your battery life and it could
increase latency I uh am going to play some music and then come back to that
see if I can hear a difference oh no did I turn off the screen record these are
playing some pretty low notes now let's see what it's like when I switch mode
I find when I'm trying to assess the resolution of uh your phone or headset
headphone I one useful aspect to listen to is the percussion if you can kind of
hear the Mallet the brush the drumstick
on the canvas of the drum that's a good place to look for resolution and in this
track I can kind of hear a little bit of that I'm hearing the Mallet hit the kick
and I can just imagine what it's made of so let's see if when I turn HD off I can
still detect that kind of annoying every time I switch back back to the settings
app I have to connect again and it gives me this damn prompt every time there's
no like don't show this again checkbox very
annoying I will say that sounds very nearly the same could be slightly worse
now it's a real feature what else they got in here golden sound get studio
quality sound customized to your ear canal structure and hearing
characteristics I heard the sound of Rushing Water and like that bird
squawking and stuff but at first sounded like P that freaked me out I'm hearing a
bunch of little beeps at different frequencies this is like a full-on
hearing test like that when I've worked in jobs that required hearing tests for
safety the exact same thing except I had to sit in a van and hold a little a
beeper generating an audio enhancement solution well my left and right are very
equal which is cool oh they give you a before and after that is actually sick
okay before music is playing now
sounds pretty good weird when you switch between them it sounds same except for
the after just kind of sounds louder I guess they just brought up certain frequencies spatial audio now this is
kind of a big one this is an Android feature now and this is the first set of
earbuds to support this I think it
should be similar to what Apple has for their spatial audio where there's the
head tracking basically the sound is from a fixed point in space so if I if
you turn your head the sound does not follow you like normal there's also an
up mixer so you can take stereo mixed
files and upmix them as if they've been recorded for multiple speakers and still
take advantage of your spatial audio so right now it's off and you can see in
the animation when the character turns his head that the audio follows the ears
fixed there's no head tracking really happening but at least it's multi
speaker and it's enveloping the character here and then head tracking
the sources stay in place and the head moves around again this is actually a
great interface you can test it out
normal oh I would say this was more immersive with this on there's this
sound that like I'm keying into this one particular sound when I start it's over
here and then I just move my head it's just kind of stays over there so I don't
know I'm still not convinced of the whole spatial audio thing I don't care who makes it all right now we're into
the Zen modes I guess I'll turn it on I got the birds going oh Iceland you got
to download that one so warm Sunrise is the only one it comes with and they've
got several other ones here summer Seashore I thought that said a-hole for
some reason my brain earbud controls finally we're here this is what I wanted
I was looking for this like 25 minutes ago okay so it's divided by left and right
that's cool wow you can actually turn
off the single squeeze now on the previous ones that was one gesture that
you could not customize now the options are play pause or none still not as
robust as being able to change it to whatever you want but better than last
year the double you can make any of these things including game mode which
just takes the latency down to I believe they're advertising 54 milliseconds
triple you get all the same as double I read that there was a way way to do the
volume on these things by touch looks like there still isn't but this is
pre-release so maybe they'll add that later I really think there should be you
should be able to map something on the bud to doing volume especially if I'm
listening to those birds without my phone how the heck am I going to turn it
up and down oh they got the find my feature that's cool I'm going to Chuck
these in the couch and see how loud it
is I can barely hear this they know I
just did a hearing test that is uh not obnoxious enough oh
camera take photos with the earbuds when using the camera double tap either
earbud to take a photo kind of cool but like as long as you want to be like this
in your photo okay so if I double tap it
three 2 one cool thank you can you imagine
though just like hey uh you can see here
that it says lhdc that's the codec these use it's comparable or it's a competitor
like Apex and uh ldac which is a Sony proprietary one dual connections the
last thing I want to try out so this means you can connect these
simultaneously to two devices including two Android devices so two phones and I
am just expecting this to not work like I'm expecting this to be able to I'm
playing music on this phone and I'm hearing it I press pause I play music on
this phone it just switches right over that would be how I expected work I'm
giving this like a 2% chance of working there's just no way I'm getting nothing
from this now my original device yeah so it didn't work like I said it wouldn't
it's paired but not connected now it's connected I can hear the music pause go
back to this one play no that's just coming out of the
device we tried everything doesn't work I knew it wouldn't work stupid feature
don't buy it for that feature what else can it do still has a really good
battery life since last year it's pretty much the same it's like 37 hours
including the case obviously uh that's with ANC off I've seen sources that said
25 hours ANC on which is actually less
than last year by 3 hours um so it's pretty strong container with the battery
life overall I think they sound pretty good I think the industrial design is excellent interface is okay app is okay
price Point's great and they're IP 55 and standard is ipx4 meaning no
certification for dust production and four is like uh big drops and splashes
which is sufficient for going to the gym and stuff but this it does five so it
can do some sprays you might even get away with wearing them in the shower but I wouldn't recommend it so I think these
are really great value earphone get them
like the case they give they get a recommendation for me yeah these are
these are pretty dope they're not like sick they're not like the headphone I'm
going to pick if I have a million dollars but if I have a $200 or less
these are great I can't believe they got cheaper thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you like this video watch
another earphone video from yours truly maybe the previous OnePlus buds please
don't stop the music I'm I saying
