00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,440
don't zoom in andy i'm rocking a thick unibrow i think it's all the sun i've

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:12,719
been getting soundcore they reached out to us to sponsor their new

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,759
spirit x2 waterproof truly wireless

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,560
earbuds great for the gym tons of bass

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:21,920
let's check them out sponsored okay spirit x2's rich bass driven sound is

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:26,000
fueled by the addition of an acoustic tube placed behind the driver so they

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,599
claim that they get a hundred percent more bass on these ones

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,960
presumably that's in comparison to the last spirit x headphones

9
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:35,840
those were like a pair of neck buds they've got this it's a little hallway

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,480
behind the driver and you can imagine like this when you have a floor standing speaker in your home

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,640
theater for example and you set it up beside your tv probably right against the wall

12
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,920
it's gonna be bassier sounding and if you move

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,399
that speaker away from the wall because the bass is coming out the back of the

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,160
speaker and hitting the wall and bouncing back at you so that's basically what they're doing

15
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,559
here spoiler alert i tried these on already and they're pretty bassy okay this is a

16
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:04,159
pretty big case but it'll fit my gym bag so you can see that

17
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:08,640
they're pretty similar other than the fact that there's they're not neck buds they're pretty similar to

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,840
the previous iteration although on the first version of these

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,280
they had it was pretty much thin all the way through here now it looks like they

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,200
integrated a lot of that circuitry and business and battery into this part

21
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,479
of the earbud they're surprisingly light for their size

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:32,560
and if i follow the little instructions here on how to put them on

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,880
a little bit of in behind

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,880
and some rotation actually pretty comfortable and

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,880
pretty light these are pretty isolating i feel

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,479
like i'm wearing earplugs right now my voice sounds a little weird

27
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:49,200
uh some manuals nice selection of extra

28
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:52,840
ear tips a couple different styles here these ones are like

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:57,360
kind of contoured almost like airpod style these ones got the little uh

30
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:01,840
little grips on them i like this this is a lot of variety because you know

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,880
not all ear holes are the same and there is a charging

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:10,080
cable no wall wart just a usbc

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,520
usb a cable yep there's a usbc charging

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,160
port right there on the back of the case that's nice uh there's also a button that is for

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,760
reset you put your headphones back in the case you leave the lid open and you hold that

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,000
down and you can like factory reset them

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,120
milliamp hour batteries so they are advertising

38
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,000
nine hours of battery life off the headphones uh that's nine hours of

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,360
playback and a total of 36 hours with the case so

40
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:39,440
i guess you get three additional charges from the charging case these are totally gym

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,760
headphones eh not only are they like really on but

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,400
they also have an ip68

43
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,560
ingress protection rating the ip68 rating will defend against dust and

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,760
water with sweat guard technology to resist the corrosive nature of sweat

45
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,360
last 100 times longer than ordinary true wireless earbuds

46
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:06,080
thanks to a submarine structure and hydrophobic nano coating

47
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,800
cool i've heard of such coatings being on like on shoes and stuff like that

48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,480
sometimes it wears off over time but nonetheless happy to have it here

49
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,640
and if it increases the longevity the headphone cool suffice it to say you can swim with

50
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,200
these for at least a half an hour at least a meter deep but probably more like three

51
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,640
meters or ten feet deep for the controls they are tactile

52
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:31,519
buttons which i actually like in a gym setting particularly you know swimming pool or wet setting oh i just

53
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:36,720
hold on i just pressed play by accident so you can turn up the volume with

54
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,400
left and right down and up i can pause

55
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,159
it by pressing the bottom button on either the left or

56
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:46,560
right so which is kind of weird the buttons are symmetrical in some ways and

57
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,000
asymmetrical in other ways like i said uh it's volume up and volume down that

58
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,400
depends on which headphone you hit but pause it doesn't matter which one

59
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,640
you hit you can also hold down the play button for the google assistant

60
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:03,680
again on either headphone and if you hold down the volume buttons

61
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,439
for one second then that goes next song and previous song

62
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,879
so again asymmetrical if you hold down the button

63
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,560
it changes eq settings it'll go from normal

64
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:16,639
to extra beige so that's another

65
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,720
component as to why these have 100 more bass it's not just because they have that uh

66
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,120
acoustic chamber behind the driver it's also that they have these new special

67
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,360
bass algorithms which i guess is just an eq

68
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,320
and you can toggle it on and off by holding down that button pretty cool

69
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,720
it's actually noticeable but not

70
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,120
like in your face obnoxious you kind of have to listen to it a bit

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,880
you can compare like a b yeah it's more

72
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,320
bassy now but it's not like get out of my face kind of bait it's

73
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,040
it's good there's some other algorithms that work here it has cbc 0.0

74
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,320
noise reduction technology for the mics hello and welcome to a demonstration of

75
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,120
the microphone quality of the soundcore spirit x2 this is what

76
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,280
you can expect to hear there's actually a settings button here

77
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,120
and you can see some options for the headphone these ones don't have a

78
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,400
ton of options in here but they do have a toggle for qualcomm's

79
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,759
aptx audio aptx audio is basically a codec that

80
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,320
will take reduced bit rate audio streams like the

81
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,680
type that have to fit onto bluetooth and then reconstitute them in a lossy

82
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,560
manner that actually sounds quite good

83
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,680
you can head bang in the gym you can do aggressive deadlifts

84
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:33,440
you can just smash your head on the wall because you're sick of living a pandemic

85
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,039
these are pretty on there they stay in your head and have good base and i think

86
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,320
having a strong base is really important for a workout you just need that drive

87
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:43,680
you can turn them up to pretty damn loud volumes and they don't

88
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,560
sound too harsh you know what and soundcore thinks that they're so good for the gym that they

89
