that eat your heart out james webb telescope i got it right in here so in today's video sponsored by soundcore we're going to be covering their brand new space q45 and space a40 headphones earbuds respectively which should we start with choose your own adventure Jake chose for you and the answer was earbuds so we have the space a40 earbuds anchor's been pretty ambitious in uh the kind of press coverage they've been giving to us they've been comparing themselves to products that are of a much higher price point these are 100 us dollars that's a pretty dang competitive price point there's a lot going on in the hundred dollar range but what these offer that you don't typically see in the hundred dollar range is noise cancelling that's pretty sick inside the box you get a type 8 a usbc cable for charging some documentation a quick start guide as well as a bunch of ear tips this is something that i've always appreciated from soundcore every product that i've seen from them they're always offering like four or more extra e-tips i had their liberty 2 pros and those came with like 12 sets of ear tips you're almost always guaranteed to get a proper seal when you have the earbuds in your ears which is really important to making sure that you have good sound and even more important for good a and c i heard a movement over there this is the brand behind me okay the brand's right behind me aren't they we're not gonna spend too much time with the a40s because i think that the q45s are the more interesting product but still want to show off what soundcore has to offer so we have a nice little case uh these have really fast fast charging for 10 minutes in the case you'll get four hours of playback with these headphones you'll get 10 hours of listening on the buds themselves and 50 with the included case which is kind of crazy considering how small this case is um oh i have an idea look at jesus christ oh my god breathing this was longer god damn it just do it faster how long were you there alone oh a long time i think it says something about like how we operate here that there was a pile of leaves on the set i was just like yeah that's there did you get did you get scared yes i did that was i was scared and 50 hours of battery life is pretty impressive because this is a pretty small case how small is it draw it's about half a banana maybe a third of a banana a third of a banana should we do a quick listen to these these are very small looks like the drivers are kind of big but like these are not going to stick out of your ears very much like look at that that's how does can you see it from the sides very much like you know i could do a fit test you know people you guys you ask about fit tests and stuff like that like if they're gonna stay in my ears and i did it in my first video but it doesn't really make sense just because they stay in my ears doesn't mean they're gonna stay in your ears especially if they're not something that has a specific bracing ability this is just gonna stick into the pressure of your ear canal yeah they stay all right we got multipoint because it's got bluetooth 5.2 i believe so it's that classic v shape there's a lot of oomph down in the lower frequencies to give that bass that kind of base you can feel versus like something maybe detailed and pronounced and then there's a little bit of a raise on the highs to give that extra little bit of crispiness that kind of makes like you know high hats really stick out so that you really feel rhythms which is a good time oh no it's for fun i'm going to turn on the a and c now i mean i don't have any sound playing right now but the anc is doing a good job of cancelling out just the general hvac and room frequencies and it doesn't seem to have a profound effect on the sound which is really nice because sometimes that can be a big ish yeah so these sound pretty good for a hundred dollars uh soundcore is taking advantage of their self-developed double layer diaphragm drivers since it's a new piece of technology that they claimed that they are advertising for themselves there's not a whole lot out there about whether or not it actually makes a big difference it is pretty neat basically it's like you know how you usually have that little cup like when you know when you have a speaker it's a little cone what if you had another cone in the middle of that cone that's basically what they're doing is that so and they claim it provides a richer and more detailed sound throughout the entire audio spectrum supposing these have ldac support l deck is the highest quality bluetooth audio codec that's kind of available and found on a lot of devices that will change in the near future with bluetooth le audio which i'll talk about more in a second they seem to have pretty good noise cancellation i know we didn't do the test with the speaker we'll do that with the other set of headphones but they got these tested by a third party called sgs who does a lot of different product testing and apparently these block out 98 of sound and that noise canceling is adaptive if it detects that there's really loud noises around you it'll probably crank up the noise cancellation maybe at the cost of a little bit of audio quality so if you're sitting in like an office it'll only cancel out as much noise as needed to leave your audio as crisp and clear as possible and they come in a black white and navy blue uh we have the black ones here if you're shopping in the 100 price range these are definitely worth checking out but let's move on to the big boys the space q45 wireless noise canceling headphones this is very interesting to me because you know companies they'll send us press information they want to make sure that we're providing you guys with correct information but what they usually don't do is very boldly send us a list of specifications and quality claims that are targeting specific products especially ones that are more than double the price what sound core has promised us is that these are supposed to compete with like the bose quiet comforts of the world the sony xm3 and xm4 all of which are like 350 these 150. it's really bold and i like bold those look pretty nice this is a nice carrying case it's a it's not super hard shell but uh it's got a nice interior nylon what else we got in the box quick start guide and nothing else really look at what they have on the back we have adaptive active noise cancelling 50 hours of play time that's nuts that they have the same amount of play time in those earbuds as they do in these things though these ones you don't have to charge you get 50 hours without charging in between so it's 50 with anc and 65 without that's like all work week you subtract your lunches and meetings from that you don't have to charge these the entire week i think that's industry leading i don't know of any other headphones that have but also you can charge these and they do have quick charging so five minutes of charging gives you four hours of listening inside the carrying case we get some cables and it looks to be an audio jack cable thank you so much a lot of wireless headphones these days will let you plug into your computer but only for charging or you can use an adapter to get usbc audio but it still uses the battery on the headphones it's very frustrating very annoying these are in a great addition to versatility if it doesn't require power and i imagine it doesn't because every other headphone can just usually do this so they also give you a little charging cable which is nice look at your soundcore look at all this for 150 bucks so let's look at this these are pretty firm they kind of they got a hinge that's kind reminds me of the air pawns a little bit they don't have the same kind of articulation that happens up here you can hear the notches notches are pretty pronounced so it's not gonna be too hard to adjust it to the same head shape every time though usually i just put them on and then figure it out and then crunch them back the right ear cup we have controls we have our volume rocker our play pause button and our headphone jack on the left side more controls we have the power button to on off and probably pairing as well as the noise cancellation the ear cups they are again a fake leather i kind of wish the ear cups were replaceable because if you're gonna go with plastic leather it's not gonna last that long and these might be something that can last a lot longer if you don't have to worry about the battery life because of the audio cable so that would be nice to have but they do feel quite soft and on the head they're they're decent decently comfortable they're spacious enough they're not touching my ears there's not too much pressure they might get a little warm this might be like a memory foam i think the padding there leaves a little something to be desired but these are relatively light these are pretty light headphones despite the fact that they have a metal headband and just like the earbuds we have anc we have four different microphones it's hybrid anc so it listens to what's in your ear as well as what's outside of you to make sure that you have the best audio noise canceling experience and like the other headphones the noise canceling is adaptive based on where you are on the box they have high-res audio wireless and high-res audio markers that's great that indicates that these are supposed to be high-res i don't know how hard it is to get a high-res audio logo on your box but it is like a third-party verification so it means something oh another interesting thing is that these have bluetooth 5.3 i've never used an item with 5.3 my cursory research on 5.3 indicates that it's not a big it does not do a lot on the audio front 5.2 contained a lot of the audio features so you get all everything from 5.2 you get the multi-point you get bluetooth le audio support what bluetooth le audio is is that it's a new technology from the bluetooth sig that's going to allow devices to send higher quality audio at a lower bit rate with a new codec called lc3 okay so i'm going to put them on and we're going to give them a listen right now the noise canceling is definitely on thank you for putting controls that just state what's happening it says transparency when it's transparency mode it is kind of a robotic voice though it's like it does sound very microsoft sam let's listen to some tunes some tunes okay so first impressions with the sound is they're they're okay tempering my expectations at 150 i'd go so far as to say is there they're fine they're pretty good to me these sound a little bit muddy in the mids it's kind of hard it's not very detailed the other one sounded better yeah they're just lacking clarity if i listen like hip-hop they're pretty fun but what we got to do is we gotta compare them so we don't have xm3s or the xm4s that soundcore bravely is comparing themselves to so the xm5s might be a little bit of a different experience than what we expect but uh we're gonna take a listen give a good comparison see if these really do punch above their price class now i want to come back to the other headphones so sound quality might not be there but think about this these are more of an entry-level pair of headphones but two they almost have feature parity with a 450 dollar headphone they have anc they have ldac they have incredible battery life they have multi-point connections they have fast charging they have so much stuff for just a hundred and fifty dollars and that's something that is really really tough to compete with so if you're all about the convenience this has you covered it has everything you want now we're gonna do our mic test and our noise canceling test Dan has done a video on this i don't know if it's out yet but we're gonna use this big speaker to basically simulate sound i get it it's not the same as just walking into traffic with a big heavy truck but that's not always the most doable thing in a studio this is a reasonable approximation we're gonna put on some a bunch of traffic noises and uh see how well these cancel that noise will they cancel that was pretty good it really dulled it that's uncomfortably loud beside me those did a pretty dang good job of bringing down the uh of the loudness since these have good noise cancelling i want to try out the space a40s uh the active noise cancelling on these aren't as strong but there's just the natural benefit of having something that's literally plugging your ears so they end up doing a pretty good job of keeping the noise out just anyways so this is a soundcore space q45 microphone test this is an audio test of the space q45 headphones this is what they sound like when i'm talking into them and now i'm going to play some traffic noise so how loud is it how's the traffic can you understand me still pretty live but uh that's how fast it is that's the mic test for the space q45s okay this is a mic test of the soundcore space a40s and this is a recording of the microphones on the space a40 earbuds how do they sound now i'm gonna play some traffic audio this is doing a way better job the earbuds are doing a way better job of cutting out the audio the headphones were i am more impressed by the earbuds than the headphones these do a great job of blocking your voice from the traffic noises these not so much but think about the price less than half the price of airpods pros less than half the price of bose they offer very similar features and they do most of them pretty well these are the kind of things that you're going to be getting if you're like i don't know you're a student you want some air pods but you don't want to pay the apple tax or you want some noise-canceling headphones but you don't want to pay the sony tax or the bose tax like these are great entry points yeah they're just i especially these these i'm really impressed with good job soundcore just like the little guys the big guys are to come in three different colors you got your white your black and your navy blue what other colors do you need as a man that's the only thing in my wardrobe also ltteststore.com get this in your wardrobe if you need a little bit more color in your life but not too much because you're a little scared then get our RGB sweater it's got a little flecks of color so there's a green and there's an orange and that's yeah it's cool and it's also really comfy i think it's more comfy than any of our other sweaters thank you soundcore
