they make your head feel like you're wearing Moss peat moss they're so
comfortable just joking never heard of these guys maybe you should have because
we got some measurements for these two sets of earphones I'll show you later in
this video and nothing to sneeze at don't sleep on sound Petes they are I
would say inspired by perhaps the models that you can find from a different
notable company and that there is a stem
version this is the air 3 Deluxe HS
earphone everyone loves a good stemi they don't have the silicone ear tip
they just sit kind of on the uh what would you call that the threshold of the
Year hey I'm here I'm not coming in and then they've got the pro oh that was the
back this whole time it's the capsule 3 Pro and you can see
this is the official earphone of Paula trades that's a joke it's not actually
not Timothy xiaomi but this is the pro and this is the active noise canceling
in-ear earbud let's see what's inside
the Box whoa also a stemi
ah I'm getting some flustered with so many products not a lot going on in
either box really some instructions like a quick start kind of setup some hidden
USB charging cable this is a a to c for the air threes and then in the capsule
three Pro box we get the same DL plus a
couple of different sizes of ear tips looks like we've got the medium on them
and then kind of a small and large and they've got orange in the center too all
right the earbuds themselves starting with the air threes on the one side I
I'd call this the back side this um copper and black kind of design with
some branding on the front really nondescript though you might also call
it minimum on the bottom that's your charging port USB type c is this a
button yeah and there's a light above it cool
that's what it sounds like when you open and close it on the inside you got this
glossy gray plastic kind of cool and
then the buds themselves logo on the top in the copper contact points there
that's how they charge and you can see a couple microphones I believe there are
four microphones for Clear calls and that little mesh lattice to keep the
earwax out that's got a copper tone to it too no peels for me to peel off
though easy setup Plug and Play oh they
beeped oh they both beeped hello they just sit there and you know
look you're pretty in there oh what was that yeah no what a way to end the week
I like to do the um WWE test for a fit
like and that's how you know if you can do that then they're good it's not the
same when Undertaker's not doing it 14.2 millimeter driver five hours on the buds
20 hours total including the battery of the case the capsule 3 case is larger
but maybe not heavier it does have a larger battery rather than 20 it's up to
52 hours of Total battery between the case and the buds the buds themselves I
guess they do look a bit bigger but the drivers are actually smaller they are 12
millimeter drivers I guess in height
they're pretty much the same these ones are a little more ostentatious with the
reflective copper band all the way down pretty much the same size as the other
ones the case bigger but maybe not lighter you know what let's find that
out you know I got tools for that 36g bangers
50. was I ever wrong let's see how these
feel getting right in my notoriously wet earwax wow lots of passive isolation
these ones have six microphones and hybrid active noise canceling which
brings us to our first graph they measured really good actually maybe a
little too good the noise canceling these probably isn't as good as it looks
in these measurements we're still using a temporary setup right now until the
lab is complete we have an actual anacode chamber to do all these things in but why don't I actually experience
this subjectively so let's turn them on if you want to use my location only this
time boom it's connected just like that didn't even have to go to my bluetooth
settings hold down the pairing button with the lid open get your blinking
Whitey and boom this room that we shoot these in has a
weird electrical Transformer thing over there which is always humming so I
should be able to hear this ANC turn on when I hold this down
it's gone and you know what I know ANC is on because the voice told me ANC on
on yo what's up guys you're passing through
cool well let's listen to some music Master of Puppets did I listen this last
time
yeah fairly detailed they actually measure pretty good you can see on the
graph that they are slightly cooked on the base which a lot of people like in
that song it it manifests it as like just a thumpier kick drum the mids are
pretty right on and then there's just a little bit a little bit in the treble
too so they're just kind of v-shaped then you can go through the EQ modes
let's take a look at them Cherry Was a Race Car Driver what is this is this
like atom music primeness this is ploof music what is this all right let's try
these ones that don't have ANC see what they're all about game mode wow that's
where I can get latency as low as 60 milliseconds these other ones 70
milliseconds I don't know how I got into game mode though how that happened these
feel like I'm wearing nothing at all because they don't seal so so much
purple top in the left is game mode exit game mode she's like your own personal
assistant I don't know how I entered it because I didn't think I did that okay I
can actually detect myself some differences between these two but let's see what the graphs have to say all
right first thing Source we're looking at the air threes default EQ not a lot
of bass and that's because of the seal because these don't have the silicone
ear tip that makes a good seal in your ear canal and since they don't have the
seal they don't have great base there which could be a deal breaker for some people the mids are pretty good then
there's a bit of a dip and then you see um they're kind of bright and crispy in
the in the treble but they come with lots of preloaded presets so let's see
how those measured so you can see there's like eight presets and the ability to make a custom one we didn't
make a custom one because with these guys the placement of them is so finicky
because the seal is different every time that we just felt like the because of
how easy they could adjust or fall out of our dummy head
it wouldn't really be replical for you guys to use the custom preset that we
would create but we did make one for the pros which we'll show you in a second you can use our settings as far as the
pre-loaded ones as you can see the deep bass didn't really go up very much but
there is a bump in the 200 Hertz kind of range the lower base is going to be
determined by the seal and since you can't get that they can't adjust it but they bump where they can and then as far
as the treble it's actually a little closer to the Target curve than the
default EQ was and then looking at the rock and roll preset it just hugs the
target line a little better and then the actually throughout the treble as well
actually kind of just looks better than the default one I might just use that one but how about the measurements for
the pros you know the ones that you're gonna get
so when I was listening to Metallica with these I could notice in Master of Puppets that the kick drum was a little
thumpy and you can see they are a little bit boosted in the base compared to the
Target curve which some people are going to really like and then they get to poster R Target in the mids they measure
pretty well and then as far as the eqs bass boost uh does what it says on the
tin look at that a ton more bass bass reduction does reduce the bass but also
it affects the mids fashionable I have no idea what that means this is a
fashionable EQ for 2023 then you've got an EQ that appears appears to be for
classical music but somehow has a really cranked bass our custom preset we can
see our settings here unfortunately there isn't a knob for you to adjust
this lower section of the base from below 100 Hertz not everyone's gonna
like this EQ but for those of you who do you're welcome let's explore the app a
little more you can see the game mode which is a triple tap actually has its
own toggle so does disable touch key one click functionality what's that so does
in-ear detection which you don't see that often it pauses when you take one
euro very cool to have but maybe you don't want that because you'd like to
just have one in all the time or you want to share it or something like that so nice to have that as a toggle so that
is about it they come in multiple colors black and white pink and purple and all
this for the low low prices of 60 bucks for the air threes and 80 bucks for the
capsule threes however you can knock half of that price off so 30 bucks and
