00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.639
as much as i love the airpods pros i have to admit that daily driving them

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:14.960
with an Android phone is not the greatest experience not because

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

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

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:29.359
update your firmware which is why i'm super

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.199
super excited about sony's wf-1000 xm4s

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.760
they need a better name for these things it's like do i want airpods pro

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:39.640
or do i want wf-1000xm4

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:44.160
i'm really hoping that i want the wf-1000xm4 these have sony's new

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:47.120
integrated v1 processor which is supposed to give them much better active

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.199
noise cancellation than their previous generation product they also have actually a

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.719
comparably sized battery case compared to the airpods pros

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.000
look at that it is a little bit thicker but the most important

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:04.080
thing is whether it passes the little pocket test for me okay dennis little

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:07.360
pocket test ah it's a little bulky it's a little

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:13.840
bulky here's the airpods pros for context okay

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:16.880
yes they do they use them for airpods i'm starting this trend

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:24.240
i'm a trendy kind of guy charging is handled with usb

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.880
type c and opening it up we can see a

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:32.640
little charge indicator right there and the earphones themselves

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.240
okay so much like most other wireless earphones they've got these little

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.079
pushpin connectors that charge the actual earphones themselves so

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.680
you're supposed to get eight hours with active noise cancellation enabled

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.560
and then another 16 hours from the battery charging case for a total of 24.

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.720
so why do i keep comparing them to the airpods pro because

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.759
the spec for spec they're pretty darn close

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

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:03.520
press kit that has the black one

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

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.560
the color i don't think anything that you stick in your ear should be white

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.720
and i would really rather have black earphones so this is the one i'm

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.599
most excited about okay so here's the color

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.959
okay i can see how people could get into the kind of

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

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:33.440
like it reminds me of like stone like kind of a stone color

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:37.200
but the black ones look pretty sharp

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:40.000
oh look at that all recyclable packaging

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.200
paper uh what do we got in here okay so they come with the

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:46.000
medium tips pre-installed and then they also include small and large ones

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:49.920
color-coded and you get a type-c charging cable i

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.800
don't know if my high expectations are because i think they will be good or

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

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.480
using a memory foam style ear tip the advantage of these is they

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.560
provide an excellent seal against the ear canal

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:11.760
with very little noise bleed but the disadvantage is that they are

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:15.200
not the best in terms of durability now apparently they've got four

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.560
microphones total now so two on each one one microphone on the

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.360
outside that's going to be for hearing ambient sound around you

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.680
that it needs to cancel oh wow this noise canceling kicked in i can

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:33.120
barely hear myself talk now i mean i can like inside my own head but that

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.840
just everything went away and then they have a second microphone on the inside

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.440
for checking that the noise canceling is working well so the four of them

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.040
all work together uh let's go ahead and get these paired though

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.840
and then we'll try to oh look at that just showed right up

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.640
connect the anc on these is

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.640
eerily good

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

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.400
talking brandon but i i can read your lips i can't really

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:04.400
understand

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.200
just barely wow it's pretty good in

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.599
terms of the pressure feeling on my ears as well

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.600
um i would say it is maybe not quite as

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.040
good as the airpods pros but it's also a

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:26.320
significantly stronger active noise cancelling effect that's

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.400
really really impressive i would say a lot of that probably comes down to

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:35.680
using the foam style ear tips rather than like a silicone style ear tips but

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.759
obviously the microphone tech plays into it very heavily as well

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:42.160
so when i'm running it's gonna let ambient sound through and then you can

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:46.800
decide exactly what level of ambient sound you

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:53.120
want to allow through so all the background noise of the warehouse just went away

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:58.160
but what if i talk to jono hey how you doing

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.840
yeah i can i could hear you but it's

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

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.479
the noise cancelling sorry what send your ear picks that's creepy remove

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:13.360
the headphones from your ears okay next turn your face forwards and

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:19.440
fit it within the frame on the screen please move the camera away from your

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:23.280
head turn your head slowly to the right

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:24.560
captured photo that's my left ear

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

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:34.720
captured photo analyzing your ears this will take

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:35.840
approximately 30 seconds

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.600
this video is brought to you by manscaped manscaped hooked us up with

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.960
their new performance package kit which comes with a ton of

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:47.919
stuff their new lawnmower waterproof trimmer with advanced skin safe technology which

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.840

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:02.160
luxury nail kit just go to manscapes.com

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:05.759
circuit to get 20 off plus free international shipping plus

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.520
you'll get their shed travel bag and a pair of their anti-chafing boxer briefs

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.720
available for a limited time so within the app you can prioritize

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.639
sound quality so it'll use the highest quality codec that it can

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.520
um it does support ldac so that's pretty sweet or you can prioritize a more

00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:23.680
stable connection and then i found out what dse extreme is

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:28.080
so maybe i don't have to reactivate my apple music subscription

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:33.440
because supposedly it'll actually use the v1 processor to

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.560
upscale more lossy files so

00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:39.759
here we go this is great

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.759
all the eq presets you could want or

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:47.199
just off you can set a couple of custom ones that's awesome

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:48.160
wait manual how do i adjust it i can't

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

00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.960
these sound great like they sound

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:04.319
really good punchy not overdone

00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:06.160
great clarity in the highs now i feel

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.720
like i gotta throw in the airpods pros just to kind of

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.599
side by side them the airpods pros to be

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:16.400
clear are not you know the benchmark against which all headphones are measured they're not

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:21.039
great sounding headphones but what they are is excellent active

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.880
noise cancellation earphones that are super convenient

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:29.199
oh wow by comparison these just seem like i don't even have

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.080
noise cancellation on the difference is

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.800
way more than i thought when i hadn't

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:39.440
side-by-sided them yet man i don't know if i can go back the

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.599
case is kind of thicker though which is a pain in the butt

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.639
and they're not cheap they're almost 300 us dollars

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:51.680
type c charging though means i no longer have to have lightning cables in my life

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:56.960
but then i rarely use lightning anyway do they have wireless charging

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:58.879
they do have wireless charging okay

00:07:56.960 --> 00:08:04.080
they're just not really that comparable to be honest with you

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.759
but there's more to earphones than sound

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:09.280
quality and what apple does really well is

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:13.120
ergonomics these are so comfortable and something that i do

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:17.759
that probably most people don't is i sleep with earphones in

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:18.800
every night yeah they are they're not as

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:23.120
comfortable the tighter seal against the ear the

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:27.120
fact that they're so bulky so you can see like the size difference

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:30.800
is market all right let's try the other thing so

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:35.200
apparently they've really tuned it to deal with wind noise select this if

00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:38.880
wind noise is bothersome using this function shortens continuous

00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:43.919
playback time so i guess i'm not supposed to be able to hear that

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.680
fan oh yeah oh wow it works really well

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

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

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:59.920
oh that's really cool so

00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:04.560
the noise cancellation is what takes away the actual

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:07.200
like whirring but then the wind

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:12.399
noise reduction is what takes away the sound of the wind blowing over the mic

00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:15.200
that's that works surprisingly well

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

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:26.320
switch because they really do sound a lot better subscribe to ShortCircuit

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.800
in case hinge also is not as all right

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:33.760
this is like so satisfying as a fidget toy

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.760
this is like yeah it's all right

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:39.600
that's a very minor gripe obviously
