1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,040 Hello lovelies. Do you live in a micro loft apartment due to the current economic stuff? 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,600 No room for a full home theater setup? Well, Soundcore has the answer to this 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:18,880 contrived situation. A full 7.1 surround sound speaker with a liquid cooled projector. Perfect 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,640 for your living room, outdoors, or just entertainment during the ensuing climate wars. 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,240 When Belfers told me about this, I thought it was going to be like a little desktop mount thing, 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:35,360 but no, it's a full gigantic speaker-y thing. And apparently it's even got wheels and a handle 7 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,280 and all that sort of good stuff. Look, you're supposed to roll it off. 8 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,040 One of the easier unboxings I think I've done on ShortCircuit. Look at this thing. 9 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:56,000 It's not super heavy. Good wheels. Sound up beyond reality. Hopefully it's got a power cable or 10 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,760 something. I don't know. Is it battery powered? It's a bag in a bag. Got a thing for the handle, 11 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,880 I guess. Nice. You know, power cable, I thought there was more stuff in here. Actually, it looks 12 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:18,800 like all of that is self-contained. That is awesome. I wish more of these types of party 13 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,320 speaker things did that. It's like a vacuum cleaner, but with a projector in it. We've got 14 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:29,760 some plasticky things. We've got a door for the laser projector. They're saying that it's water 15 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,800 cooled, which is pretty neat. I don't know if that means it's got like a liquid loop or a proper 16 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,600 copper thing with a block and everything. I don't think I'm going to be allowed to take it apart 17 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,640 and have a look, but maybe there's a hammer somewhere on set. But it's not really like 18 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,680 just a party speaker because it's got these weird satellite things. So if I pop these at the back, 19 00:01:50,640 --> 00:02:00,240 look at that. It's like a Bluetooth speaker in another speaker. USB-C. It's got feet. Oh my god, 20 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,640 this is sick. It's a claymore. Front towards neighbors. So we've got two of those and then 21 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:14,000 how do we get these ones out? RL, oh front, front, left, front, right. I'm sure there was a 22 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,400 there's a narrow button for these. Oh my god, it doesn't stop. It's got microphones in it too 23 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,600 and a remote with built-in Netflix buttons and stuff like that. What's going on? I feel very dumb. 24 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,600 Fold to project, press to power, match to marks. I mean, maybe they release when you turn it on. 25 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,640 We've got rear left and rear right and then these two guys when we get them out are going to go 26 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,480 on the front. Looks like it's also got a Bluetooth speaker mode. So I wonder if we could play some 27 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,360 audio that way. Maybe if you had a full system and didn't want to use the projector component. 28 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,240 It's pretty neat. Big speakers on the left and right. Big woofery thing right down there at the 29 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,840 bottom. Exhaust fans. We've got some ports at the back here. We've got HDMI to USB-C's and a USB-A, 30 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,640 which is nice to see. And yeah, I guess last in the top here is going to be our microphone. So we've 31 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:12,400 got two. They're pairable. They're powerable. They look really quite nice actually. USB-C on the 32 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,640 bottom there. Very cool. Very, very cool. They even give you the direction that they're supposed to 33 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,560 be. They got RGB in them. That's kind of sick too. And then yeah, of course remote for controlling it 34 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:31,200 like it would be a TV or maybe like a projector. First impressions of the build quality is really, 35 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,280 really surprisingly high. These are metal and plastic and they feel sturdy and solid. And these 36 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,000 legs as well feel really sturdy. Yeah, it looks like it's got a quarter 20 on the bottom, I assume, 37 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,480 so that you could mount it to something like an ARM if you wanted it in a more permanent position, 38 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,440 which would be kind of odd, but still really nice to include. Looks like they charge in the unit 39 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,200 itself, but they've even got some ports on the back here. USB-C and a little power button too. 40 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,120 And you can set them into Bluetooth mode it looks like. I'm excited to see what these 41 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,760 side ones look like. They're held in really well for a portable speaker that you're going to be 42 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:13,920 driving along the beach. There's like very little flex in the case. I love the rubberized thing here 43 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,280 that holds on to the end of the power adapter. It seems really like well thought out. I'm quite 44 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:24,000 surprised. I thought this would be more like a gimmick product, but it's actually seeming quite 45 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,640 together. Handle is sturdy, metal, and it's got a nice like semi-rubberized grip. Yeah, 46 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,320 it feels sturdy. I am impressed so far. You know what else is impressive? Our sponsor. 47 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,400 I also forgot to mention, they also sell a projector screen. This one's inflatable if you 48 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,200 want to have it in your living room or outside. It's all pretty heavy, but compact. 49 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:58,080 Oh, there's the body that lives in there. They do a 10 foot and a 16.7 foot as well. Couldn't 50 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,160 give us another couple inches. Come on, even numbers. Okay, there's our surface. So it looks 51 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:12,080 like the back is this nice soft, really luxurious, like fabricish material. The plastic parts will 52 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,040 be your pontoon. Nice fabric screen, white surface, not gray. So you're not going to have super good 53 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,480 light control in a bright environment, but most people can close the curtains. So we blow her 54 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,520 up, took me a while, like normal, but I did end up finding the hole. Looks like we just popped 55 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,080 that out there, and then we have our battery operated pump, and that should just go in here. 56 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,000 All right, and we just pop on our ending nozzle thing here. It's got a lock on it, and the valve 57 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000 itself has this little on the air escape one way jack valve, which is pretty cool. That just 58 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:59,120 goes in there and turns and locks in. And then I guess we just push the button. It's whisper quiet. 59 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:13,920 Okay, we got it mostly inflated. It's big and it's too big for the set, and I don't think we 60 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:20,080 can use this. It doesn't fit. We have a crossways in the set. I mean, we've got the extended ceiling, 61 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,680 and it might be tall enough, but we don't have enough width. It's too girth. I don't think this is 62 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:33,520 for your living room. It's big. A couple things I did notice is it's got a couple mounts each side 63 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:42,160 for the satellite speakers on the side of the projector speaker. The pump also deflates too, 64 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,360 so that might be good. It's also got another nozzle on the other side. So, you know, maybe it'll 65 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,920 go down a bit faster. Yeah, I mean, it's got the release, which is super nice. So let's just stick 66 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,240 this guy in here and see what happens, I guess. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. 67 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:12,800 This is very cozy. One thing I did notice when I was rolling around in it and fondling it a bit 68 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,520 earlier is the screen is attached with what's some pretty heavy-duty Velcro, so I guess you 69 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,360 could take it off an iron net or something like that, or that would probably be the smart thing to 70 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,680 do when you put it away. Just kind of crumple it and then fold up the screen nicely. This one costs 71 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:35,120 $2,000 and is, I guess, 17 feet plus the rest of the screen. Should we try the projector now? 72 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,920 Okay, well, after that fiasco, it looks like we have a normal screen. I think we found the 73 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,200 extra pole, which is good. Let's turn it on finally. We've got an extension cable. We've got a thing. 74 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,920 We've got to take a bunch of stickers off. Let's do it up. Laser forge. It's got a laser warning. 75 00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Oh, wow. AI image adjust. Everything's got AI. It's got depth sensing. Really nice looking 76 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,440 lens on here. Oh my god, it's not piano black. This is the best thing I've seen all day. 77 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560 That is sick. Thank you. It's like rubberized as well. It's got a nipple 78 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:20,400 button. It's worrying. Press to extend retract. So this is why we couldn't get the side fumbles out 79 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,600 because you've got to push this button. And then this happens. That is bonkers. And I guess they 80 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:37,120 would work here, but there's a lock button on top. So you push this button. And now you have your 81 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:44,640 fronts. So these look like they've got two speakers in them. Same cool little feats that we saw on 82 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:51,760 the back sides. These also have that quarter 20 light bar thing there. Looks like we also still 83 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,520 have the the type C and the power buttons on these guys. So we'll just plug that in there. 84 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,360 This one already looks like it's on. This is the front left. So I'm going to come over. No, 85 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,160 this is the front right. Sorry, the blue one. So I'm going to pop that. Yeah. And then yeah, 86 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:15,040 let's let's pop these guys up. So these are going to be our rears. These are also on. I 87 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,320 guess these guys will be standing up with this one over here. This is our rear right. 88 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:27,040 And why don't we put that one there? All right, it says we a welcome. Oh, that makes more sense. 89 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:43,200 I'm going to pop that here. How about that? Oh, what? It's got a light in it. Wow, it seems to have a really, really wide screen adjust 90 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,160 capabilities. We managed to squish it in super tight. It seems like, you know, this might be 91 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,680 living room distance. That's pretty good. Looks like it's got quite a few intelligent adjusting 92 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,760 things. I wish I had this at home. It's got that one click image adjust, which it seems to be 93 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,960 struggling a little bit here maybe because the lights are on. We can try that again when they're 94 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:08,320 off. Spatial adaptation, I guess it figures out where it should be because of LiDAR's move in 95 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,400 zoom. I mean, the projector lens seems to actually physically move, which is kind of cool. Flu wave, 96 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:21,360 there's a selling mistake. That's awesome. Flex wave is, I guess, where things move around. We'll 97 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,720 see. Eye guard. Yeah, it's audio adapts to the environment. We'll see because this is like the 98 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,040 worst set ever. It's got a cube for a ceiling. Eye guard, obviously, because it's lasers. 99 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,320 It'll blind you instantly. Looks like it automatically comes off. Wall color application. 100 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,000 You know, I've got a gray screen at home. That's difficult for some projectors. 101 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,440 I sure will do Nebula Master. That sounds like us. It has an app, but it doesn't need an app, 102 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,840 which makes me happy. We're at 100% brightness. Ambient light adaptation. Sure, why not? Let's 103 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:05,200 have a look at some YouTube. And why don't we get the lights off? Hot damn. We've got our lights off 104 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:13,920 now and got CrabRave video and music. It's like the perfect thing. You can see how bright it is. 105 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000 It looks a little pink to me right now, but I mean, it's got quite a lot of color adjust. Maybe 106 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,720 that's the Nebula Pro mode or whatever. Let's give it a listen. 107 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,360 One problem that I can kind of see is that's where all your subs and your bases. So 108 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,800 where are you going to be sitting? Like next to that, probably. Or it's going to be behind you, 109 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,200 maybe, or on a table or something. I'm not entirely sure how that would work. Image quality 110 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,680 looks pretty good. It's not too much blurring. Maybe a little bit under the sea there, but we 111 00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,160 do have it quite squooshed in. I mean, it's digital keystone rather than optical. So it's never 112 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,200 going to be perfect, perfect. The sound quality is excellent, even at kind of a slightly lower 113 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,880 volume. Maybe if you're maxing it out, it's going to be a little bit crispy. But I mean, 114 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,800 it's just two little tiny things. Even just like the button noises are quite nice. 115 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,000 Let's see if we can get some 7.1 on it. All right. Our speakers are in one of the worst 116 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,720 probably arrangements possible. We've got one pointing in the wrong place. We've got one on the 117 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,800 floor and we've got two of them sort of there-ish. I mean, maybe we'll point them in a bit. Give 118 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,840 them a bit of a fighting chance. And let's try this flex wave calibration and see what it sounds like. 119 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:56,160 That's going to be like a new one for me. That is almost exactly where they are physically in the room. 120 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,040 I'll tell you, it calculated the sweet spot to be about here and this is a pretty damn good sweet 121 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,280 spot, especially for this terrible, terrible, terrible speaker placement. They're really even and 122 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:19,040 balanced, which is kind of cool. Like really balanced. That's weird. That's strange. It's 123 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:26,240 bassy. It's nice and even. And yeah, even with these speakers in like one of the worst things I 124 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:33,200 have ever done and is an affront to home theater nerds everywhere. Even. That one's no louder than 125 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,560 that one and that one's no louder than that one even on the floor. So, you know, audio adaptation, 126 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:44,240 whatever magic they're doing is quite fantastic, I would say. The picture looks good too. I would 127 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:52,960 like to experiment a little bit with the color because it is a little pink in my opinion and I 128 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:59,120 don't think that's coming from our rear light over there. It may just be like a maladaptive 129 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,600 color adaptation just because we've got blue over there and something else. So, let's see 130 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:10,240 if we can change the like look of it. Yeah, there you go. So, that is adjusting the like 131 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,920 color profile quite heavily. So, we do movie HDR10. That's really warm. Will it remember my 132 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:22,960 keystone settings? It will. That's also super nice. I think I turned motion plus back on. I 133 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,560 hate that it's enabled by default. That's a mighty fine projector even with this TV glaring on it too. 134 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,240 Very, very nice. I can definitely tell that it's a laser projector. The contrast ratios are great. 135 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:40,560 It's super bright and one thing that I didn't talk about is just how quiet this machine is. I can't 136 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:47,600 hear it at all. I think my laptop and the camera fans are probably louder than it. Soundcore is 137 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:55,440 claiming about 26, 25 DVs for the sound of this thing and like yeah, I can't really hear it at 138 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,280 all. Maybe that has to do with the water cooling. It's just very, very efficient but normally you 139 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,280 turn one of these things on and it's just you can definitely tell the fans there. You know, 140 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,760 quiet scenes that sort of thing. You get that whirring. One thing we didn't really touch on 141 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:14,880 was the karaoke mics but I would probably expect these to behave just as well. I'm sure these are 142 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,080 fine if you're into karaoke. They also have this other strange add-on which they're calling like 143 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:27,040 space flow AI. You project it on the outside of a wall and it does the tracking on the wall. 144 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,160 They're kind of showing examples where instead of decorating the front of your house, you would 145 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:38,480 just like stick this out the front and then projection map your Windows and Christmas lights 146 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:45,360 and holiday decorations on the front of your house which is interesting because this thing costs 5,000 147 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,000 US dollars and what are you going to do? Put that in front of your house. It's kind of a little bit 148 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,640 more rare that I see products here that kind of should cost that much. The build quality of this, 149 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,560 the feature set that you get, the quality of the projector and the quality of the 150 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,960 satellite speakers in general is punching in that $5,000 kind of price range. Now you could 151 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,520 do really well for a home theater for $5,000 but now you're getting karaoke, you're getting something 152 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,680 portable, you don't have to drill holes in the walls, you don't have to adjust a bunch of stuff 153 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:28,480 and you know, really high-end 11.1.4 whatever soundbar, $1,500 and this one's 7.1.4 so each of 154 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,640 these little guys also have up-firing speakers. Projector like this, maybe also $3,000 or $4,000 155 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:41,520 so you're kind of getting in one package. If this is for you, I think it's probably for you. I have 156 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:49,200 no idea the kind of person who would want to buy this which is a bit of a problem. The other thing 157 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,680 is that this is like a Kickstarter too so they're giving about a thousand bucks off this and the 158 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,200 screens and stuff like that if you back the Kickstarter. One of the only missing things in 159 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,680 this package, unless I didn't read the instructions again properly, which were great by the way, 160 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:10,560 is 3D glasses. This is also capable of doing 3D projection too if you're one of the people who 161 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:16,320 have a 3D movie or find something that can actually serve them to you, I mean maybe with 162 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,360 HDMI or something like that. I mean of course like one of the big advantages of this is you could 163 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:26,080 take it to somebody's house if you just basically pop these out, pop them on a table somewhere. 164 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,800 You don't even have to care where you put them because it seems to auto correct so well 165 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:40,720 and then you know put the speakers away. And like just as fast as that I'm packed up and ready to go 166 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,680 on to the next thing or throw it back in the closet. I have no idea. This is a weird class of 167 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:51,200 products especially for $5,000. It's certainly not a novelty. I'll put it that way. If you liked 168 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:58,320 this video why don't you check out one of the other party speakers I've done. There's some fun ones from Sony.
