don't zoom in andy i'm rocking a thick unibrow i think it's all the sun i've
been getting soundcore they reached out to us to sponsor their new
spirit x2 waterproof truly wireless
earbuds great for the gym tons of bass
let's check them out sponsored okay spirit x2's rich bass driven sound is
fueled by the addition of an acoustic tube placed behind the driver so they
claim that they get a hundred percent more bass on these ones
presumably that's in comparison to the last spirit x headphones
those were like a pair of neck buds they've got this it's a little hallway
behind the driver and you can imagine like this when you have a floor standing speaker in your home
theater for example and you set it up beside your tv probably right against the wall
it's gonna be bassier sounding and if you move
that speaker away from the wall because the bass is coming out the back of the
speaker and hitting the wall and bouncing back at you so that's basically what they're doing
here spoiler alert i tried these on already and they're pretty bassy okay this is a
pretty big case but it'll fit my gym bag so you can see that
they're pretty similar other than the fact that there's they're not neck buds they're pretty similar to
the previous iteration although on the first version of these
they had it was pretty much thin all the way through here now it looks like they
integrated a lot of that circuitry and business and battery into this part
of the earbud they're surprisingly light for their size
and if i follow the little instructions here on how to put them on
a little bit of in behind
and some rotation actually pretty comfortable and
pretty light these are pretty isolating i feel
like i'm wearing earplugs right now my voice sounds a little weird
uh some manuals nice selection of extra
ear tips a couple different styles here these ones are like
kind of contoured almost like airpod style these ones got the little uh
little grips on them i like this this is a lot of variety because you know
not all ear holes are the same and there is a charging
cable no wall wart just a usbc
usb a cable yep there's a usbc charging
port right there on the back of the case that's nice uh there's also a button that is for
reset you put your headphones back in the case you leave the lid open and you hold that
down and you can like factory reset them
milliamp hour batteries so they are advertising
nine hours of battery life off the headphones uh that's nine hours of
playback and a total of 36 hours with the case so
i guess you get three additional charges from the charging case these are totally gym
headphones eh not only are they like really on but
they also have an ip68
ingress protection rating the ip68 rating will defend against dust and
water with sweat guard technology to resist the corrosive nature of sweat
last 100 times longer than ordinary true wireless earbuds
thanks to a submarine structure and hydrophobic nano coating
cool i've heard of such coatings being on like on shoes and stuff like that
sometimes it wears off over time but nonetheless happy to have it here
and if it increases the longevity the headphone cool suffice it to say you can swim with
these for at least a half an hour at least a meter deep but probably more like three
meters or ten feet deep for the controls they are tactile
buttons which i actually like in a gym setting particularly you know swimming pool or wet setting oh i just
hold on i just pressed play by accident so you can turn up the volume with
left and right down and up i can pause
it by pressing the bottom button on either the left or
right so which is kind of weird the buttons are symmetrical in some ways and
asymmetrical in other ways like i said uh it's volume up and volume down that
depends on which headphone you hit but pause it doesn't matter which one
you hit you can also hold down the play button for the google assistant
again on either headphone and if you hold down the volume buttons
for one second then that goes next song and previous song
so again asymmetrical if you hold down the button
it changes eq settings it'll go from normal
to extra beige so that's another
component as to why these have 100 more bass it's not just because they have that uh
acoustic chamber behind the driver it's also that they have these new special
bass algorithms which i guess is just an eq
and you can toggle it on and off by holding down that button pretty cool
it's actually noticeable but not
like in your face obnoxious you kind of have to listen to it a bit
you can compare like a b yeah it's more
bassy now but it's not like get out of my face kind of bait it's
it's good there's some other algorithms that work here it has cbc 0.0
noise reduction technology for the mics hello and welcome to a demonstration of
the microphone quality of the soundcore spirit x2 this is what
you can expect to hear there's actually a settings button here
and you can see some options for the headphone these ones don't have a
ton of options in here but they do have a toggle for qualcomm's
aptx audio aptx audio is basically a codec that
will take reduced bit rate audio streams like the
type that have to fit onto bluetooth and then reconstitute them in a lossy
manner that actually sounds quite good
you can head bang in the gym you can do aggressive deadlifts
you can just smash your head on the wall because you're sick of living a pandemic
these are pretty on there they stay in your head and have good base and i think
having a strong base is really important for a workout you just need that drive
you can turn them up to pretty damn loud volumes and they don't
sound too harsh you know what and soundcore thinks that they're so good for the gym that they
are going to give you 15 off using the link below if you enter in
the phrase gym companion thank you to soundcore for
sponsoring this video check them out with the discount at the
link below and if you think these are too big you don't want to rock that i don't know
much about these ones but this is the spirit.2 and they have a lot of the same features
on the box here thumping bass they're comfy uh but they
have touch controls and they're way smaller and look at according to this
guy you can sweat in these two so check it out everybody can get it on
