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

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:12.719
been getting soundcore they reached out to us to sponsor their new

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:15.759
spirit x2 waterproof truly wireless

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.560
earbuds great for the gym tons of bass

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.920
let's check them out sponsored okay spirit x2's rich bass driven sound is

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.000
fueled by the addition of an acoustic tube placed behind the driver so they

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:29.599
claim that they get a hundred percent more bass on these ones

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.960
presumably that's in comparison to the last spirit x headphones

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

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

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.640
theater for example and you set it up beside your tv probably right against the wall

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.920
it's gonna be bassier sounding and if you move

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.399
that speaker away from the wall because the bass is coming out the back of the

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

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

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.159
pretty big case but it'll fit my gym bag so you can see that

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

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.840
the previous iteration although on the first version of these

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

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.200
integrated a lot of that circuitry and business and battery into this part

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.479
of the earbud they're surprisingly light for their size

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:32.560
and if i follow the little instructions here on how to put them on

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.880
a little bit of in behind

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.880
and some rotation actually pretty comfortable and

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.880
pretty light these are pretty isolating i feel

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:46.479
like i'm wearing earplugs right now my voice sounds a little weird

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.200
uh some manuals nice selection of extra

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.840
ear tips a couple different styles here these ones are like

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:57.360
kind of contoured almost like airpod style these ones got the little uh

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:01.840
little grips on them i like this this is a lot of variety because you know

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:06.880
not all ear holes are the same and there is a charging

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:10.080
cable no wall wart just a usbc

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:11.520
usb a cable yep there's a usbc charging

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

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

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.000
down and you can like factory reset them

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.120
milliamp hour batteries so they are advertising

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.000
nine hours of battery life off the headphones uh that's nine hours of

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.360
playback and a total of 36 hours with the case so

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:39.440
i guess you get three additional charges from the charging case these are totally gym

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:45.760
headphones eh not only are they like really on but

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.400
they also have an ip68

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:52.560
ingress protection rating the ip68 rating will defend against dust and

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.760
water with sweat guard technology to resist the corrosive nature of sweat

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.360
last 100 times longer than ordinary true wireless earbuds

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:06.080
thanks to a submarine structure and hydrophobic nano coating

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:08.800
cool i've heard of such coatings being on like on shoes and stuff like that

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:12.480
sometimes it wears off over time but nonetheless happy to have it here

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

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

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:24.640
meters or ten feet deep for the controls they are tactile

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

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:36.720
hold on i just pressed play by accident so you can turn up the volume with

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.400
left and right down and up i can pause

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.159
it by pressing the bottom button on either the left or

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:46.560
right so which is kind of weird the buttons are symmetrical in some ways and

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:50.000
asymmetrical in other ways like i said uh it's volume up and volume down that

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:54.400
depends on which headphone you hit but pause it doesn't matter which one

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.640
you hit you can also hold down the play button for the google assistant

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:03.680
again on either headphone and if you hold down the volume buttons

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.439
for one second then that goes next song and previous song

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:10.879
so again asymmetrical if you hold down the button

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:14.560
it changes eq settings it'll go from normal

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:16.639
to extra beige so that's another

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

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.120
acoustic chamber behind the driver it's also that they have these new special

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.360
bass algorithms which i guess is just an eq

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.320
and you can toggle it on and off by holding down that button pretty cool

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:34.720
it's actually noticeable but not

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:39.120
like in your face obnoxious you kind of have to listen to it a bit

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.880
you can compare like a b yeah it's more

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

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.040
it's good there's some other algorithms that work here it has cbc 0.0

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:52.320
noise reduction technology for the mics hello and welcome to a demonstration of

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:57.120
the microphone quality of the soundcore spirit x2 this is what

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.280
you can expect to hear there's actually a settings button here

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.120
and you can see some options for the headphone these ones don't have a

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:08.400
ton of options in here but they do have a toggle for qualcomm's

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.759
aptx audio aptx audio is basically a codec that

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.320
will take reduced bit rate audio streams like the

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.680
type that have to fit onto bluetooth and then reconstitute them in a lossy

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.560
manner that actually sounds quite good

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.680
you can head bang in the gym you can do aggressive deadlifts

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

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

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.320
having a strong base is really important for a workout you just need that drive

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:43.680
you can turn them up to pretty damn loud volumes and they don't

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

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:52.080
are going to give you 15 off using the link below if you enter in

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.160

link below and if you think these are too big you don't want to rock that i don't know

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.560
much about these ones but this is the spirit.2 and they have a lot of the same features

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.960
on the box here thumping bass they're comfy uh but they

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.880
have touch controls and they're way smaller and look at according to this

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:21.440
