hundred and then it's like kind of a little bit all over the place in the treble overall I would say they do sound pretty dang good like I was rocking out in these things I think you will too they took an opposite approach to samsung who with their default listening mode I would I would call ain't on default personally um they wanted it to be a little more bassy and as I said in that video I think that was kind of the right move because like most people like to have the bass turned up a little bit Google here went kind of the natural route but of course with both these devices you can change that with eq in the app or non-app as it were let's check that out now checking our settings menu here we have fine device which is new and we'll actually put the location on a map which is very cool once you get close you can make it ring here is the eq oh do they not even give you little knobbies they have presets like heavy bass light bass balanced vocal boost clarity and last save here we go custom equalizer you get five little knobbies and do I get to name my custom creation I guess last saved you is that mean you can't have multiple that you save that's kind of weak there's no option to name them or whatever so it's just one one custom one and then volume eq enhances bass and treble frequencies at lower volume levels this actually is an option unlike on the Samsung buds 3 pro they didn't even have an option for volume dependent eq which means you turn the music down and it all just goes down with this option on when you turn the music down some parts of the frequency notably the bass and some parts of the treble will actually get boosted in volume because our ear is not as sensitive to those frequencies at lower volumes so it's nice to have the option there's an ear tip seal check that's useful to make sure that you're using the right size tips on your earbuds and getting a good seal will give you better bass response oh conversation detection this is not a new feature but it's a feature I've never tried whereby you can automatically switch from noise cancellation to transparency mode when someone starts talking to you I'm gonna try it out noise cancellation is on and now I'm talking oh look at that it automatically changed it's when you talk it's not when someone talks to you so interesting and I can actually dismiss it by tapping there it goes it works oh no you can't stop it once it starts I do wonder if it'll switch to transparency mode just from me singing along to music but I I won't make you suffer through watching that demonstration and here's what the three onboard microphones in each earbud sound like when you do a voice recording or a call you know that the voice recording is going through the earbuds because the phone has been taken away by my lovely assistant I will say this conversation detection is actually quite annoying and I am turning it off and I probably wouldn't actually use that but I would talk to the guy now apparently with the new fancy google tensor chip on here I have the ability to use a new special wake word for I guess not the google assistant exactly but for more like talking to Gemini their LLM so I can interrupt it when it's speaking I can have conversations with it but I can't do other tasks like I would with google assistant so let's just give it a spin with the new wake word which is hey google let's talk well we couldn't get that working um every time I said hey google let's talk the google assistant would just go clunk sure I love talking and then it would be end of interaction it wasn't any kind of continuous conversation mode I really don't think that um I entered the mode I was trying to enter ever and we can't figure out why it's a shame because I really would like to check that out I wish I could you know tell it to read me my new email maybe if I'm driving or I could send a text message in a way that's more reliable and easier than the crappy google assistant I can I can never get it to send an sms on my phone or my watch I'd like to try that stuff I'd like to ask it what's on my calendar for this week coming up and stuff like that and maybe you know just have a companion but not today forever alone for battery life claims they are saying 12 hours of listening on these guys and a total 48 hours altogether with the charging case if you have active noise canceling off which I don't um so having it on you're gonna get that cut down to eight hours on the buds and 30 hours altogether with this if you have active noise canceling off and you charge it in the case for five minutes you get an hour and a half of music playback and kind of rapid fire time here they support bluetooth 5.4 and bluetooth le they also have ingress protection of ip 5 4 which is kind of standard to ok but I will say samsung raised the bar with having a water protection of seven meaning you could actually submerge them for 30 minutes under a meter of water these do not this this has a ingress protection of water rating of four which means just splashes don't go swimming don't even wear them in the shower just you can wear them in the rain and you can sweat in the gym that is pretty standard but you know there's competition is tight now um it's nice that they do have a a dust protection rating of five six is the highest many earbuds just don't even have a rating there so cool that they have five for codecs they don't have any high quality high resolution codecs they just have aac and sbc which is on like every bluetooth um device so no like apt x um or anything like that overall I really like these it's cool that they shrank the buds I guess it would have been cool if they also shrank the case a little bit but it's small enough yeah I like these things I would buy them I'm currently rocking some sonys but these are smaller I mean they're newer too there's definitely more affordable buds on the market but in this kind of tier where you've got air pods and samsung's galaxy buds they are a little cheaper coming at 230 us dollars so you can save 20 or 30 bucks compared to those other ones if you if you like them that's just that's just bonus then it's just like why not icy on the cake thanks for watching guys if you like this video watch our coverage of other buds from nothing cmf if you really want to save money or samsung cybertruck looking buds um which element are pretty cool and I probably would say are the direct competitors to this"}
