1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,359
this video is brought to you by soundcore and we're going to be checking

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:10,240
out their q30 wireless headphones with

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:16,480
active noise cancellation and 40 hours of battery life with amc

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:18,320
enabled and up to 60 with anc disabled

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,240
let's go ahead and crack these puppies open oh i remember hey look at this look

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,439
at this i remember planes

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,480
do you remember planes yeah they're great for on the plane when

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:37,280
that ever becomes a thing but don't worry don't worry you can also use them indoors and outdoors one of the key

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:43,280
features of these is that you can get up to four hours of listening time off of

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,800
just a five minute charge quick charging

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,800
has been one of the biggest innovations for me when it comes to portable devices

12
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,120
like this because i'm the kind of person who's not real diligent about charging

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,600
especially if it's something that i don't use every single day like my phone

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:03,760
for example so being able to just pop it on the charger for a couple minutes and

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:07,920
be ready to go is a pretty big deal

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,920
not bad actually for 80 bucks

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,360
like my uh my expectations in terms of

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,000
build quality were were not that high given the price and feature set but

19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,479
okay that is some very

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,560
very cushy memory foam the real question though is is it thick enough they offer

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,600
nfc pairing so you can see they got the little sticker on there oh

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,920
oh sound car you gotta get a sticker that

23
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:39,759
comes off clean oh at least it doesn't leave any residue

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,119
okay i've seen i've seen much worse so there's a metal band that goes along the

25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,000
top here and then on the inside there's plastic pieces and this piece is also

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000
plastic

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,840
reasonable hold still pretty easy to adjust

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,000
reasonable amount of padding on the headband you can see here instead of

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,360
going for a really memory foamy type of pad they went for one that has a little

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,520
bit more rebound that makes sense because the ones on your ears are just

31
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,360
meant to shape to your head and make sure you get a good seal the one on your

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,560
head is meant to actually support some of the weight of the headphones clamping

33
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:23,200
pressure i would describe as moderate not super tight but it's not loose

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,440
either all right i don't know i feel like

35
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,879
all right i tend to be a bit of a strong clamp guy

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,760
wow really good noise isolation right out of

37
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,680
the gate which is obviously a great place to start when you want noise

38
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,239
cancellation to be a key feature of your product

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,920
this seems to be like a very very noise absorbing foam here

40
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,319
that's pretty cool now i tend to be a bit of a tighter

41
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,519
clampy kind of guy i like the clamps you know

42
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:03,200
so these are a little bit looser than i would necessarily prefer

43
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,000
but it's always a trade-off right because the tighter you clamp the less

44
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,920
comfortable they're going to be over a very long period of time i just i kind

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,040
of like that secure snug fit they do move around a little bit but they're

46
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,879
also not just going to like come right off unless you're really head-banging

47
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,000
let's get it adjusted just right too though just make sure we give it as fair

48
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000
shake as possible

49
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,680
okay okay at the right size that's not bad so on the bottom of the right ear cup

50
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:36,080
you've got your play pause button as well as volume up volume down and is

51
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:41,360
that a headphone jack does this have like a sharing feature

52
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,360
i don't even see that on the thing

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:49,680
oh no that no i'm an idiot that's so you can use them in wired mode uh we've got a noise

54
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,360
cancellation toggle as well as power button and type c charging type c

55
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,720
charging always a plus that makes sense though given soundcore's anchor lineage

56
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,120
that good charging technology would be a foundational aspect of this product

57
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,640
included type c charging cable as well as an included three and a half

58
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,760
millimeter cable and i'm not even daily driving anything with a headphone jack

59
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:13,360
anymore so it's like oh where's my iphone there we go all right let's pair

60
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:18,720
this puppy i'll be honest with you i don't know if the iphone supports nfc pairing does it

61
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,479
no i think it's just um like bluetooth proximity nonsense okay

62
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,840
soundcore live q30 and connected

63
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,520
i mean nfc pairing is one of those like yeah it's nice to have things but

64
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,800
it doesn't really save that much time that was pretty painless we're already

65
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,440
totally ready to go that is kind of trippy

66
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:54,160
can you can you say something again david uh youtube music is great

67
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,680
interesting soundcore is taking a bit of a different

68
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:04,720
approach to canceling out uh sort of sudden noises

69
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,880
than i think i've heard before

70
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,840
so it definitely takes some of the edge off of it but you sound kind of robotic

71
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,919
to me i don't have anything playing right now so there's no distractions but you really do sound like a stormtrooper

72
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,759
oh that's my life goal everything's okay down here

73
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,600
how are you it's like ex it's like tk421

74
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:27,440
do you copy like freaking you're a little sharper

75
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,720
hey yeah all right enough of that all right well you know what let's go

76
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:36,160
with some let's go with some wham you know let's get some

77
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,000
some classics classics up in here

78
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,600
so where do i touch for transparency mode

79
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,720
oh two seconds there we go

80
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:50,320
wow okay interesting so

81
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,520
it not only sort of allows outside sound

82
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,840
to come in it seems like it's actually amplifying it oh hi

83
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,880
yeah yeah no i can i can hear you fine i haven't adjusted the volume at all

84
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,680
interesting okay so hold on let's change modes again

85
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:08,240
hey how you doing today looking pretty good huh the tonality of

86
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:13,680
the music really doesn't change much

87
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:18,319
i'm surprised i'd like to see that two second delay adjustable within the app

88
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,400
it does feel a little bit long wow like your footsteps honestly it sounds like

89
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,520
csgo yeah like

90
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:31,840
like it's kind of trippy how much it passes

91
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,479
through to me all right so far i've been at a pretty low listening volume here

92
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,039
i would definitely describe them as pretty bass heavy

93
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:47,440
not too sloppy though like even girls just want to have fun is like boom

94
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,440
boom you're like it's pretty

95
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,639
it's pretty thumpy yeah that's what that's exactly why i

96
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:58,400
wanted the app i wanted to play around the eq a little bit like it's not unpleasant it's just a lot of bass for

97
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,000
my tastes one of the marks of a good headphone for me though even if you have

98
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,840
transparency mode is can it be worn comfortably like this

99
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,080
not bad they've got a lot of swivel in the cups and enough flex in the headband

100
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,520
that you can actually tuck it away here no automatic turning off features or

101
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:19,759
anything like that remember guys these are eighty dollars with well active

102
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,520
noise cancellation and a big fat battery but of course they do have control

103
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,800
buttons on the left cup anyway so wait why did i just agree to get

104
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:30,400
notifications from my uh headphone app whoops

105
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,199
all right life series here we go life cue 30. uh yeah sure

106
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,800
update firmware fix bugs uh fair enough

107
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:42,880
oh okay better transparency performance apparently don't disconnect or play

108
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,919
music while installing updates uh that was a very quick

109
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,199
like app recognition and like firmware prompting process though that was like

110
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,800
really fast it's the kind of thing most people would talk about but i

111
00:07:53,039 --> 00:08:00,720
tend to kind of gloss over it in terms of style they look alright i guess

112
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:04,319
got some they're black with shiny accents

113
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,240
their headphones all right in soundcores product bullet points for this they

114
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:12,479
mention 40 millimeter drivers but my issue with that as a talking point is

115
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,000
that it's kind of meaningless because a

116
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,479
a well-tuned 40 millimeter driver could be way better than a poorly tuned 50

117
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,319
millimeter driver like the size of the driver it tells you

118
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,759
not much really um so well it's better for me to

119
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:34,479
just say yeah they they sound pretty responsive and the base is tight then

120
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:41,680
for me to say yeah it's got a 40 millimeter driver just doesn't mean anything to me okay cool

121
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:45,200
so there's noise cancellation which works pretty darn well transparency mode

122
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,720
which is like amped up and normal no noise cancellation no

123
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:57,440
transparency just a noise isolated closed back earphone okay that i want to

124
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:03,279
hear good lord that is a lot of bass though i would probably put these like

125
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,800
somewhere in this neighborhood okay

126
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,839
easy to use eq yeah i mean there's not really a whole lot to adjust in here but

127
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,959
i guess there's not a whole lot that i would want to whoops oh interesting

128
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,160
this isn't something i'd be able to easily test right now but they've

129
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:24,399
actually got different tuning profiles for the active noise cancellation

130
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,680
interesting so indoor goes after voices that

131
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,040
explains why i couldn't hear you guys freaking at all so then in transport

132
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,800
mode where it's going after like engine rumble i don't guys want to say

133
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,680
something i still can't hear you guys no i don't

134
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,519
mean like just make noises

135
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,560
all right that's a cool feature so again these are 80 bucks if you want to check

136
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,880
them out they're at the link in the video description of highlighted

137
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,080
features are of course 40 to 60 hour battery life depending on whether you're

138
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,040
running them passively or with active noise cancellation five minutes of

139
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:58,560
charging gives you four hours of playback and of course all the tuning

140
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,279
that you can do in the app for the active noise cancellation and eq

141
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:07,519
and for ShortCircuit viewers you guys can get 15 off if you check them out now

142
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,160
so we're gonna have that linked down below thanks for watching make sure you're subscribed for more videos like

143
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,480
this one and we'll see you on the next movie

144
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,869
got this i can do it

145
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,360
there we go
