00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.120
i wouldn't really describe myself as a fan of anything but i love my airpods

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.040
pros they sound fine the active noise cancellation is

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.920
excellent without any kind of weird pressure on my ears and they are among

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:21.760
the most comfortable in-ear headphones that i have ever used so when i saw

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.560
apple's third-gen regular airpods which

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:30.160
bring that airpods pro shape to a lower price point albeit without active noise

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:32.480
cancellation i was pretty excited and

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.840
this is my first hands-on brand new there you go we're tearing off the seals

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.559
airpods with mag safe charging case okay

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.640
four headphones i actually see magsafe as having more value for me personally

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.520
than it does for a phone i don't have a ton of difficulty lining up my phone on

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:52.559
a regular qi charging pad but every once in a while i do miss with

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:58.000
these just because they're so small compared to the normal shape of a charging pad that i could see that being

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:01.680
extremely useful airpods thanks don't bother telling me what generation i

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.280
bought or anything like that who cares right

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.080
still resentful of their naming schemes now is this smaller it's smaller i've

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.439
sequestered myself actually Anthony did all our coverage of the event so all i

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:17.520
saw was that it's the airpods pro shape but

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:25.040
you don't have to pay quite so much for it they are a lot smaller wow they're basically the

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.520
size of the old airpods carrying case except it opens up horizontally now

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:35.840
instead of instead of vertically actually here i'm just going to pull this out that is like is that is it

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.880
exactly the same size boy is it ever close wow hold on

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.680
i think it might be a little thicker if

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.600
it's thicker it's marginal it's really close which means then that it's going

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.600
to fit perfectly in your headphone pocket boom

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.200
just like that oh man that goes in real easy that is one of the biggest

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.360
advantages that apple has over their competition because there's tons of

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:04.079
other earphones out there that have four ish hour battery life in the earphones

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.239
themselves and then offer another 20 something in the case but where apple

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:13.920
really stands out is that they do it in a case that is way smaller and now they

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.920
do it in an earphone that is really really aggressively sized to be

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:21.360
clear the new third gen airpods have six hours of battery life which is even more

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.440
impressive given the size of the case now one thing that i can tell you guys

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:31.440
that i'm going to miss immediately is you can see that the silicone tip from

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:35.760
the airpods pros is not present on the new airpods one nice thing about this is

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.800
it means that after six months you won't be being shamed actively into buying a new

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:44.879
pair because your ear tips which are white for some reason turn yellow there

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.000
that's a little less unpleasant looking right brandon now interestingly these

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.959
are not really quite the same shape but wouldn't you be more concerned with the

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.840
airpods stem 3 clogging up with wax

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:01.280
no that's a really big grill all you're going to need is a little bit of

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.480
moisture like an isopropyl alcohol get it kind of softened up a little bit you

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.840
should be able to pretty much wipe that out i mean the deeper it goes in your

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.840
ear the more wax buildup is going to be a problem i know that some people in

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:15.280
particular do have trouble with their pods clogging up with wax but i'd say

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:18.400
that they've actually done a better than usual job of making it

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.440
cleanable here obviously if it you know disassembled in

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.519
any way that was helpful for those kinds of things it would be better but never

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.680
change apple oh is there anything else included

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:33.519
yes you get a usbc to lightning cable so

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.000
wireless charging sold separately okay what i'm really interested in is

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:43.360
the ergonomics because that's my favorite thing about the airpods pros

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:45.519
lg's latest tone freeze the fp8s are

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:50.080
actually very very close in terms of comfort but these are really really good

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.640
i just want to put my regular pros in for a sec here my daily drivers okay

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.200
basically perfect they're impossible to remove from my ears without putting my

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:02.720
fingers in take them out i actually sleep with them in almost

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:08.159
every night i turn on the active noise cancellation just kind of helps me sleep

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:10.000
through random noises i absolutely love

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:15.840
these things let's see how much you're giving up for what is it 70 bucks

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:15.840
is the difference in price i think

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.759
they're not going to come out but you're also not going to have that snugness

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.560
that you get from a silicone ear tip my biggest takeaway just from putting them

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.919
in my ears i haven't even listened to anything yet my biggest takeaway from

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:37.199
them right out of the gate is apple

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:39.520
please don't discontinue the pro line

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.080
not everyone likes that in-ear canal sort of violated feeling though so your

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.960
mileage may vary but the other thing you're not getting compared to the pros

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:53.600
is you're not getting any kind of passive noise isolation which is not the

00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:55.520
same as cancellation so the pros have

00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:00.560
both they isolate well because they've got this nice seal with your ear but

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:05.600
they also actively noise cancel using the microphones that are on the outside

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.880
of the earphone these have neither there's no active noise cancellation and

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:14.400
because they don't form a seal with your ear i can hear every bit as well right

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:15.600
now maybe slightly less well but almost

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:21.680
as well as if i didn't have them in at all what no i don't want to find contacts just not now i'm trying to

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:24.880
listen to music you idiots why does every music app want to know everything

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:30.160
about you well i mean we all know the answer but stop oh my god i have to put

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:33.680
iOS 15 on this iphone while we wait it's time for a message

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:39.039
from our sponsor hey yeah indeed

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:42.000
instructions dip the toothpick dab it on your tongue

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.800
read the sponsor spot

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.800
don't be a b word flatline hot sauce if you're not

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:54.560
familiar with dbrand they make expensive electronics tape that you can wrap your

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.840
devices with this is from a drop we did with them a while back they're sticker

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.039
bomb skin uh messaged them and asked them for it i

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:04.960
know they've got they've got lots of this still it wasn't limited edition at

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.960
all and they also make a habit of trolling me in

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:13.360
their sponsor spots that they must sell a lot of electronics tape

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:19.840
in order to pay for because they're not cheap pepper palace the end i just want

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:22.479
to know what's in it oh reapers okay all

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.440
capsisum capsism i think i've heard of those before i think those are bad

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.840
things all right well good luck everybody

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:36.880
dbrand if i end up with hiccups for the entire rest of this video i'm gonna be

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.520
pretty pissed off that's it dbrand you don't get any more talking points than

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:42.560
that don't like it complain to your reps boss

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.520
oh wait you don't care

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:52.560
the cold water is so soothing LTT Store.com baby update's done we're

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:57.280
ready i'm expecting a super simple pairing process connect press once to

00:06:55.280 --> 00:07:02.560
play pause twice to move forward three times please get backwards here we go

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.319
oh interesting okay i was not expecting them to make a noise when i put them in

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.720
my ears because um that's usually the indicator for

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:19.440
whether you're turning anc on and off okay holding just gives you siri oh siri

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.440
i do strongly prefer the squeeze style

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:25.360
stems compared to the tap on the old regular airpods this is

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:30.880
way better it's way harder to accidentally actuate and it's way easier

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.880
to hit on purpose got the same little

00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:36.720
tick noise to confirm that it registered now how do i control whether spatial

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.000
audio is on i can tell that it's probably on right now that

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.440
seems like a weird thing for them to have on by default though

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:46.319
the fact that there's so many hits for this tells you everything you need to

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319
know settings bluetooth thank you for not

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:56.400
bringing that up when i searched for it there we go you can turn it on

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.520
in control center so i can't turn it on

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:03.759
here it doesn't do anything see this is just

00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:09.680
to hear the difference okay it was on so that explains why it had

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:13.599
that huge sound kind of sound to it let's turn it off and see how they sound

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:17.280
without any weird digital tricks i could see people liking it in the same

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:22.879
way that there's a lot of people that do like dsp effects you know like to give a

00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:26.960
more auditorium-like sound to what they're listening to or whatever else

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:32.560
personally i strongly prefer to listen to music as the artist intended it

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:35.839
without any effects that's not my vibe here

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.719
i'd also probably never use that head tracked mode now that's interesting

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:46.720
apple is doing more than just adding a dsp effect here that gives it spatiality

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:49.200
they're also playing around with eq as

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.880
far as i can tell and in much the same way that modern laptops if you listen to

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.120
their speakers without the drivers installed they sound

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.200
horrible manufacturers are adding a lot of software compensation

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:04.720
for the drivers that make them sound better i think apple is actually

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:10.480
tuning the sound as well as adding that

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.480
openness to it

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.800
sorry adaptive eq where do you adjust that it appears to be just running all the

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.720
time that's a really interesting move because i think a lot of people are going to turn on the spatial audio and

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:26.959
they're gonna be like wow how did i ever listen to music before this but a big

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:31.680
part of the effect is coming from something that doesn't have to do with

00:09:28.959 --> 00:09:35.040
that spatial effect i wonder why well i guess i don't really wonder why i guess

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:38.880
it's a way to have people hooked on the apple ecosystem because to my knowledge

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:42.959
these features won't be supported if you pair to an Android device like i do i

00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:47.040
actually daily drive these with an Android device all right let's move on

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.920
though how do they sound compared to the airpods pro because i think that's the

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.000
decision a lot of people are going to be making especially with how much more

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:57.279
expensive the gen 3 airpods are compared to gen 2's

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:02.160
interesting so my option for

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.680
my option for spatial audio goes away when i'm sharing my audio

00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:11.760
it's really hard to compare it's like comparing an open backed

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.839
headphone with a closed back headphone they have very different

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:20.000
flavors another thing that makes this challenging is these are my daily

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:25.120
drivers i listen to them every single day so inherently there's a bit of bias

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:29.440
towards them because your ears tend to like what they often listen to

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:34.000
i other than the lack of noise isolation

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:38.320
and noise cancellation i can't find a problem with them

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:42.480
compared to the airpods pros i'd say they are on par to be clear neither of

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:46.880
these are audiophile grade iems if you wanted those you could expect them to

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:52.399
have a wire on them but they both sound good enough and if your main concern is

00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:57.200
not tuning out the world around you these are a huge step forward compared

00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:02.640
to last gen in terms of comfort in terms of sound yeah what can i say good

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:06.000
product oh the mic is the mic supposed to be

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:11.120
worse oh i mean yeah we can do a quick uh we

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:14.800
do a quick call what's up mr tan how's my uh how's my audio quality doing over

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.839
there i would have you test my airpods pros as well but i have a slight problem

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.519
with the microphone on my airpods pros because i ran over this one in my car

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:31.120
the microphone is a little bit it used to be good it used

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:34.399
to be good well we can't really fault uh apple for that one

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:40.000
yeah just like my videos used to be good back

00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:41.360
when i was in the kitchen that sucks now

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.240
but if you disagree with that statement go ahead and subscribe
