finger got caught in there what are the two best truly wireless earbuds on the market airpods Pro Gen 2 probably and the second one the Bose quiet Comfort earbuds 2. we tested them we're going to show you some graphs about how they sound objectively and we're also going to open this box up and see how they work start here at this QR code not doing that case is kind of weird shaped it's like a badge like a sheriff's badge and here are the buds themselves a cable USB a to c and some extra tips and fins small and large mediums already equipped and then you've got large and large I guess they're not small medium large they're just different bigger bump on these ones a lot of time they're Fitness oriented to try to you know keep them in your ears better but these fins are really low profile especially the ones that are presently equipped so I probably would just keep these on and actually I wonder if yeah they kind of look incomplete without them I peel that back and there's just like a little missing empty track now so how do they look pretty normal oh it just made a noise and that noise is actually a sort of calibration for your ear canal it's called Bo's custom tune and when that noise is being played it's kind of like you can think of echolocation it's measuring how long it takes the source signals that it sends out there to bounce back and return and making like a map of your ear and then tuning the sound based on that I like that there's no user interaction it's not like a part of the app where you have to go to and say like test my hearing it's just part of using them and it sounds pretty cool not a great lid sound not a really satisfying hinge or snap open either for the fidgeters among you but it's a pocketable case I'd say not as Tiny or smooth as this apple just kills it but this isn't a Bose versus airpods video there's an app and I'm going to try to add these earphones to it little button there they are connect the magic experience okay battery levels on the left and right are exposed here but what about uh the case itself it doesn't tell me there's an EQ which is nice I don't believe the airpods have that at all but other than presets this gives you the actual control up to what do they call plus and minus 10. it's only three different levels so you get your mid lows mids and highs not as nice as having like a full Matrix where you can do it in different like discrete jumps of frequency range left shortcut touch and hold the left earbud to use your shortcut so that's the only button that you can adjust hey play and pause the thing with these is it's always either on or transparency is odd on you can't just turn it off which you can with the airpods you go ANC on ANC off transparency on I want to find out what it feels like to adjust the ANC and the transparency levels but before that I gotta just listen to these things thanks to pataka for sponsoring today's video if you talk it makes magsafe compatible armored fiber phone cases and accessories their light and thin design comes in black gray or a fusion weave design for those that want a little more personality they offer a whole ecosystem of magsafe products from their four in one mag easy slider the mag easy car mount Pro use their slider to charge your iPhone Apple watch and airpods all at the same time and with the strength of pitaka's magnets there's no need to worry about your phone slipping from the car mount even if you're driving over bumps they didn't say that part I I put that part in don't run people over though so check out pitaka in the links in the video description alright the music's playing and I tap to pause I kind of missed it pause play doesn't matter which one you use next track oh that's registered volume volume is is swipe but that double top registered as volume next I just next it right into an ad oh now I'm in aware mode okay so this is transparency is on but I can obviously still hear the music I'm in relax mode it's like the closest thing to off maybe Focus that's uh really similar to relax I don't know it's very ambiguous that's the default interface you can change the press and hold to to not cycle through modes but instead hail the assistant and I believe that's just on the left but here's an explanation of what the modes are quiet has a little information guy beside it mutes the world around you so you can better hear and feel it okay so it's ANC on but aware it doesn't have that little info thing it has a settings button here are your surroundings and your music at the same time it has active sense if things get too loud Bose automatically adjust the amount of noise cancellation so that you can enjoy music comfortably that's the same thing that airpods have so basically there's like a decibel like limit I believe it's 85 decibels on the airpods and anything that's louder than that just gets brought down uh you can turn that on and off on here obviously you don't have a choice on airpods everything is just the way that Apple thinks you want it you can like set anything in relax there's no verbal explanation or written explanation of what it is but you can switch up the noise cancellation aggressiveness my voice is very isolated all the hissing that was around me went away now it's like there's like a a distant highway or like white noise generator somewhere as far as like whether or not turning this up and down makes it more like cabin pressure feeling e not really I kind of feel like it when it's Max but it might be just an illusion because of the other things that change now what happens when I look at Focus mode same deal different starting point maybe so for both Focus and relax where you have the ability to change this if you go below middle that's like amplifying the transparency mode and if you go above the middle that's like amplifying the active noise canceling if you're in the middle I guess you get a bit of both you can kind of hear the world around you but engine noise and air conditioning are kind of blocked out that's cool and you can save these presets too you can actually rename them oh they give you some things um to choose from like walk and work out I don't see how I can type my own that's why not you guys whatever but that's nice you know you could go from the preset I like when I'm in the office versus the preset I like to have when I'm walking to the office kind of annoying that there's four I wish I could disable some of them so that when I'm cycling through it's just two or three oh it's so annoying if I tap here it should turn it up to that point you shouldn't have to swipe what you can see here is how the headphones measured which is the green line versus the Harman Kardon Target line so why isn't it just zero zero being a flat frequency response where nothing is above or below the artist's intent basically well the reason is your ears are imperfect your ears are actually more sensitive to different frequency ranges than others so for example you can see that the Harman Kardon curve says that you should probably crank up the bass and the high because we're less good at hearing those sounds we're better at hearing mid-range because that's where human voices and lots of other sounds in nature that are relevant to us like those boxes falling ah I love you so much so as you can see this follows that Target curve really nicely almost the whole way except for around 2.5 k there's a little bump so to some people by default these might sound a little bright you can use the EQ that we saw on the app to turn that down a little bit so on this chart what you're looking at is what we call purse of equal loudness so because your ears are less sensitive to Bass when you turn your music to a low volume A lot of times we just can't hear the bass anymore so on your stereo AVR or on either of these pairs of earphones they'll actually compensate for that so you can see in this chart they base the Boost quite a bit and when you turn up the volume Green's a little louder and orange is louder than that this stuff mostly happens on the low end the base which is the left side now dynamic range compression is not something that's happening on purpose on on the earphones this is basically you turn up your music really loud and the load that you're putting on the headphones starts to exceed their capabilities like they just requires too much power or they're going to clip or something they will actually play certain frequencies more quietly because they just can't deliver so you can see on the right side of this graph if you turn them up really loud which is the red line under 2K it starts to drop off and then above 12 or 13k it like hits a cliff and so if you're listening to like a really high delicate violin it'll be quieter so like that as you turn up the music the the prominence of that violin may be sounding like it's in the foreground and nice and clear and Loud it'll just start to kind of back away and be and quieter and quieter and you can see the Orange is uh lower volume than red and green and blue are lower still so it's really only when you crank it pretty loud here if you're looking at the left side of the graph don't pay attention to that it's not that you're getting less bass as you crank these loud this is actually just a Vestige of the curves of equal loudness so it's just kind of like a measurement problem another interesting thing is if you turn it up really loud and the headphones can't deliver it you might actually hear this as like pumping like the music is kind of surging and getting quieter and the reason for that is that music isn't of equal loudness as a song plays like every bar there could be a kick drum and then that could be more load than the quieter parts of the bar in between kick drums so that means that the load imposed onto the headphones every bar varies and when it's a lot of load that's when the headphones kind of hack it anymore and that's where you're gonna see drops on the graph because when those impedances hit they just can't deliver all the power that they need to but then an instant later in the song There's not as much music happening and they can deliver and the volume kind of picks up again so you get this surging effect in in volume the next graph is a comparison between the bows and the airpods for noise cancellations so lower is better here you can see that in general the airpods have better cancellation especially in the mid-range but there is a one spot where the bows do a lot better it's around five kilohertz there's like a 10 DB difference all sounds that you hear have a mix of frequencies it's not just like engine noises all all low even engine noise is going to have some High bands in it as well so it's hard to say like that five kilohertz spot is where you're gonna hear this instrument or something like that it's all kind of like in general but you can see that both of these things don't really do much until you get around 60 hertz and that's kind of where you're going into the from sub bass to base because the sub bass stuff is stuff you're not going to hear it's stuff you're going to feel and obviously the noise cancellation isn't going to really affect that but in terms of uh noise you're going to hear on a plane it looks like the Bose does just as well but the airpods appear to do better with voice voices that's where you can see that mid-range people talking babies crying uh airpods might be a little bit better but these are both doing pretty well for battery life they're advertising six hours that's on the buds they actually don't tell you what they expect to get out of the case they do tell you that you can charge the case in three hours and you can charge the buds in one hour and 20 minutes after charge gets you two hours of playback so oh they're okay pretty standard the price though they are 300 which is fifty dollars more than the airpods so if you're an iPhone person I I Feel Like These are pretty neck and neck in a lot of ways but that price and that Apple Magic you're gonna get is you might want the airpods for everybody else you're not gonna get any Apple Magic on your Android device and these are very good so um maybe that extra 50 bucks would be worth it for you they definitely sound great and both of these are great earbuds Christmas is coming I don't think anyone can be really be mad if they get either of these so thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you like this video hit like and hit subscribe and hit up
