1
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:10,639
as much as i love the airpods pros i have to admit that daily driving them

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,960
with an Android phone is not the greatest experience not because

3
00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:18,240
apple couldn't make it so but because they choose not to oh no you aren't

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,400
enough our customer you have to buy more of our products to deserve to be able to

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:29,359
update your firmware which is why i'm super

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,199
super excited about sony's wf-1000 xm4s

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,760
they need a better name for these things it's like do i want airpods pro

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,640
or do i want wf-1000xm4

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,160
i'm really hoping that i want the wf-1000xm4 these have sony's new

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:47,120
integrated v1 processor which is supposed to give them much better active

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,199
noise cancellation than their previous generation product they also have actually a

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,719
comparably sized battery case compared to the airpods pros

13
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,000
look at that it is a little bit thicker but the most important

14
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:04,080
thing is whether it passes the little pocket test for me okay dennis little

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,360
pocket test ah it's a little bulky it's a little

16
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,840
bulky here's the airpods pros for context okay

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,880
yes they do they use them for airpods i'm starting this trend

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,240
i'm a trendy kind of guy charging is handled with usb

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,880
type c and opening it up we can see a

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:32,640
little charge indicator right there and the earphones themselves

21
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,240
okay so much like most other wireless earphones they've got these little

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,079
pushpin connectors that charge the actual earphones themselves so

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,680
you're supposed to get eight hours with active noise cancellation enabled

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,560
and then another 16 hours from the battery charging case for a total of 24.

25
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,720
so why do i keep comparing them to the airpods pro because

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,759
the spec for spec they're pretty darn close

27
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:01,600
now we actually got two versions we got the white one and then we also got this

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,520
press kit that has the black one

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,799
and i wanted to see both because as much as i like the airpods pros i don't like

30
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:10,560
the color i don't think anything that you stick in your ear should be white

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,720
and i would really rather have black earphones so this is the one i'm

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,599
most excited about okay so here's the color

33
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,959
okay i can see how people could get into the kind of

34
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:27,680
earthy tone white ones i wouldn't even call it white it's more of like uh

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,440
like it reminds me of like stone like kind of a stone color

36
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:37,200
but the black ones look pretty sharp

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,000
oh look at that all recyclable packaging

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,200
paper uh what do we got in here okay so they come with the

39
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,000
medium tips pre-installed and then they also include small and large ones

40
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:49,920
color-coded and you get a type-c charging cable i

41
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:52,800
don't know if my high expectations are because i think they will be good or

42
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:59,440
because i'm just really really hoping that they're good let's start with just a fit test interesting they're

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,480
using a memory foam style ear tip the advantage of these is they

44
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,560
provide an excellent seal against the ear canal

45
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,760
with very little noise bleed but the disadvantage is that they are

46
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,200
not the best in terms of durability now apparently they've got four

47
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:18,560
microphones total now so two on each one one microphone on the

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,360
outside that's going to be for hearing ambient sound around you

49
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,680
that it needs to cancel oh wow this noise canceling kicked in i can

50
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:33,120
barely hear myself talk now i mean i can like inside my own head but that

51
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,840
just everything went away and then they have a second microphone on the inside

52
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,440
for checking that the noise canceling is working well so the four of them

53
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,040
all work together uh let's go ahead and get these paired though

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,840
and then we'll try to oh look at that just showed right up

55
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,640
connect the anc on these is

56
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640
eerily good

57
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,239
like i hear what i'm saying i'm just i mean i can tell i can tell you're

58
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,400
talking brandon but i i can read your lips i can't really

59
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400
understand

60
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:11,200
just barely wow it's pretty good in

61
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,599
terms of the pressure feeling on my ears as well

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,600
um i would say it is maybe not quite as

63
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:21,040
good as the airpods pros but it's also a

64
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:26,320
significantly stronger active noise cancelling effect that's

65
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,400
really really impressive i would say a lot of that probably comes down to

66
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,680
using the foam style ear tips rather than like a silicone style ear tips but

67
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,759
obviously the microphone tech plays into it very heavily as well

68
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,160
so when i'm running it's gonna let ambient sound through and then you can

69
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,800
decide exactly what level of ambient sound you

70
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:53,120
want to allow through so all the background noise of the warehouse just went away

71
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:58,160
but what if i talk to jono hey how you doing

72
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,840
yeah i can i could hear you but it's

73
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,840
it's quiet if i had music on i probably wouldn't be able to hear you sorry sorry

74
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,479
the noise cancelling sorry what send your ear picks that's creepy remove

75
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,360
the headphones from your ears okay next turn your face forwards and

76
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:19,440
fit it within the frame on the screen please move the camera away from your

77
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:23,280
head turn your head slowly to the right

78
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,560
captured photo that's my left ear

79
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,919
apparently hold on why don't we try that again okay got my ear that time please

80
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:34,720
captured photo analyzing your ears this will take

81
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,840
approximately 30 seconds

82
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,600
this video is brought to you by manscaped manscaped hooked us up with

83
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:42,960

circuit to get 20 off plus free international shipping plus

89
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,520
you'll get their shed travel bag and a pair of their anti-chafing boxer briefs

90
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,720
available for a limited time so within the app you can prioritize

91
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,639
sound quality so it'll use the highest quality codec that it can

92
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,520
um it does support ldac so that's pretty sweet or you can prioritize a more

93
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:23,680
stable connection and then i found out what dse extreme is

94
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:28,080
so maybe i don't have to reactivate my apple music subscription

95
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:33,440
because supposedly it'll actually use the v1 processor to

96
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,560
upscale more lossy files so

97
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:39,759
here we go this is great

98
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,759
all the eq presets you could want or

99
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:47,199
just off you can set a couple of custom ones that's awesome

100
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,160
wait manual how do i adjust it i can't

101
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:56,720
do it okay well whatever if that actually works then i guess it'll be pretty neat

102
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,960
these sound great like they sound

103
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,319
really good punchy not overdone

104
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,160
great clarity in the highs now i feel

105
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,720
like i gotta throw in the airpods pros just to kind of

106
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,599
side by side them the airpods pros to be

107
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,400
clear are not you know the benchmark against which all headphones are measured they're not

108
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:21,039
great sounding headphones but what they are is excellent active

109
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,880
noise cancellation earphones that are super convenient

110
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:29,199
oh wow by comparison these just seem like i don't even have

111
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,080
noise cancellation on the difference is

112
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:34,800
way more than i thought when i hadn't

113
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,440
side-by-sided them yet man i don't know if i can go back the

114
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:43,599
case is kind of thicker though which is a pain in the butt

115
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:46,639
and they're not cheap they're almost 300 us dollars

116
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,680
type c charging though means i no longer have to have lightning cables in my life

117
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:56,960
but then i rarely use lightning anyway do they have wireless charging

118
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,879
they do have wireless charging okay

119
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:04,080
they're just not really that comparable to be honest with you

120
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,759
but there's more to earphones than sound

121
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,280
quality and what apple does really well is

122
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,120
ergonomics these are so comfortable and something that i do

123
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:17,759
that probably most people don't is i sleep with earphones in

124
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
every night yeah they are they're not as

125
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:23,120
comfortable the tighter seal against the ear the

126
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:27,120
fact that they're so bulky so you can see like the size difference

127
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,800
is market all right let's try the other thing so

128
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:35,200
apparently they've really tuned it to deal with wind noise select this if

129
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:38,880
wind noise is bothersome using this function shortens continuous

130
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,919
playback time so i guess i'm not supposed to be able to hear that

131
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,680
fan oh yeah oh wow it works really well

132
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:50,320
so i'm getting that exact same effect like the it kind of kind of sounds like someone

133
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:57,600
flapping a flag in the wind or something as the as the wind passes over the mic

134
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:59,920
oh that's really cool so

135
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:04,560
the noise cancellation is what takes away the actual

136
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:07,200
like whirring but then the wind

137
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:12,399
noise reduction is what takes away the sound of the wind blowing over the mic

138
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:15,200
that's that works surprisingly well

139
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:18,560
i really like these i'm impressed i think i'm going to try and make the

140
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:26,320
switch because they really do sound a lot better subscribe to ShortCircuit

141
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,800
in case hinge also is not as all right

142
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,760
this is like so satisfying as a fidget toy

143
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,760
this is like yeah it's all right

144
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:39,600
that's a very minor gripe obviously
