WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.359
this video is brought to you by soundcore and we're going to be checking

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.240
out their q30 wireless headphones with

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:16.480
active noise cancellation and 40 hours of battery life with amc

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:18.320
enabled and up to 60 with anc disabled

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

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.439
at this i remember planes

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.480
do you remember planes yeah they're great for on the plane when

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

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

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:44.800
just a five minute charge quick charging

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.800
has been one of the biggest innovations for me when it comes to portable devices

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:53.120
like this because i'm the kind of person who's not real diligent about charging

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.600
especially if it's something that i don't use every single day like my phone

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

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:07.920
be ready to go is a pretty big deal

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.920
not bad actually for 80 bucks

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.360
like my uh my expectations in terms of

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.000
build quality were were not that high given the price and feature set but

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:22.479
okay that is some very

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.560
very cushy memory foam the real question though is is it thick enough they offer

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.600
nfc pairing so you can see they got the little sticker on there oh

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.920
oh sound car you gotta get a sticker that

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:39.759
comes off clean oh at least it doesn't leave any residue

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

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:50.000
top here and then on the inside there's plastic pieces and this piece is also

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:50.000
plastic

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.840
reasonable hold still pretty easy to adjust

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:02.000
reasonable amount of padding on the headband you can see here instead of

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

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.520
bit more rebound that makes sense because the ones on your ears are just

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

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.560
head is meant to actually support some of the weight of the headphones clamping

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:23.200
pressure i would describe as moderate not super tight but it's not loose

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:25.440
either all right i don't know i feel like

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.879
all right i tend to be a bit of a strong clamp guy

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.760
wow really good noise isolation right out of

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.680
the gate which is obviously a great place to start when you want noise

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.239
cancellation to be a key feature of your product

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.920
this seems to be like a very very noise absorbing foam here

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:56.319
that's pretty cool now i tend to be a bit of a tighter

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.519
clampy kind of guy i like the clamps you know

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:03.200
so these are a little bit looser than i would necessarily prefer

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.000
but it's always a trade-off right because the tighter you clamp the less

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

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.040
of like that secure snug fit they do move around a little bit but they're

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:18.879
also not just going to like come right off unless you're really head-banging

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

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:24.000
shake as possible

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

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.080
you've got your play pause button as well as volume up volume down and is

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:41.360
that a headphone jack does this have like a sharing feature

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.360
i don't even see that on the thing

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

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.360
cancellation toggle as well as power button and type c charging type c

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.720
charging always a plus that makes sense though given soundcore's anchor lineage

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:03.120
that good charging technology would be a foundational aspect of this product

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.640
included type c charging cable as well as an included three and a half

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.760
millimeter cable and i'm not even daily driving anything with a headphone jack

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

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:28.479
no i think it's just um like bluetooth proximity nonsense okay

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:33.840
soundcore live q30 and connected

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

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.800
it doesn't really save that much time that was pretty painless we're already

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.440
totally ready to go that is kind of trippy

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:54.160
can you can you say something again david uh youtube music is great

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.680
interesting soundcore is taking a bit of a different

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:04.720
approach to canceling out uh sort of sudden noises

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.880
than i think i've heard before

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

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

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:21.759
oh that's my life goal everything's okay down here

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.600
how are you it's like ex it's like tk421

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.440
do you copy like freaking you're a little sharper

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:30.720
hey yeah all right enough of that all right well you know what let's go

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:36.160
with some let's go with some wham you know let's get some

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.000
some classics classics up in here

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.600
so where do i touch for transparency mode

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.720
oh two seconds there we go

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:50.320
wow okay interesting so

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.520
it not only sort of allows outside sound

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:55.840
to come in it seems like it's actually amplifying it oh hi

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

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:01.680
interesting okay so hold on let's change modes again

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:08.240
hey how you doing today looking pretty good huh the tonality of

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:13.680
the music really doesn't change much

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:18.319
i'm surprised i'd like to see that two second delay adjustable within the app

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:22.400
it does feel a little bit long wow like your footsteps honestly it sounds like

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.520
csgo yeah like

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.840
like it's kind of trippy how much it passes

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

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.039
i would definitely describe them as pretty bass heavy

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:47.440
not too sloppy though like even girls just want to have fun is like boom

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:47.440
boom you're like it's pretty

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.639
it's pretty thumpy yeah that's what that's exactly why i

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

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

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.840
transparency mode is can it be worn comfortably like this

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

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.520
that you can actually tuck it away here no automatic turning off features or

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:19.759
anything like that remember guys these are eighty dollars with well active

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:23.520
noise cancellation and a big fat battery but of course they do have control

00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:26.800
buttons on the left cup anyway so wait why did i just agree to get

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.400
notifications from my uh headphone app whoops

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:35.199
all right life series here we go life cue 30. uh yeah sure

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.800
update firmware fix bugs uh fair enough

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.880
oh okay better transparency performance apparently don't disconnect or play

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:47.919
music while installing updates uh that was a very quick

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:51.199
like app recognition and like firmware prompting process though that was like

00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:54.800
really fast it's the kind of thing most people would talk about but i

00:07:53.039 --> 00:08:00.720
tend to kind of gloss over it in terms of style they look alright i guess

00:07:58.479 --> 00:08:04.319
got some they're black with shiny accents

00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:08.240
their headphones all right in soundcores product bullet points for this they

00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:12.479
mention 40 millimeter drivers but my issue with that as a talking point is

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:16.000
that it's kind of meaningless because a

00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:20.479
a well-tuned 40 millimeter driver could be way better than a poorly tuned 50

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.319
millimeter driver like the size of the driver it tells you

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.759
not much really um so well it's better for me to

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:34.479
just say yeah they they sound pretty responsive and the base is tight then

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

00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:45.200
so there's noise cancellation which works pretty darn well transparency mode

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:52.720
which is like amped up and normal no noise cancellation no

00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:57.440
transparency just a noise isolated closed back earphone okay that i want to

00:08:54.959 --> 00:09:03.279
hear good lord that is a lot of bass though i would probably put these like

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:06.800
somewhere in this neighborhood okay

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

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.959
i guess there's not a whole lot that i would want to whoops oh interesting

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:20.160
this isn't something i'd be able to easily test right now but they've

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:24.399
actually got different tuning profiles for the active noise cancellation

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.680
interesting so indoor goes after voices that

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:31.040
explains why i couldn't hear you guys freaking at all so then in transport

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:34.800
mode where it's going after like engine rumble i don't guys want to say

00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:39.680
something i still can't hear you guys no i don't

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.519
mean like just make noises

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

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.880
them out they're at the link in the video description of highlighted

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:52.080
features are of course 40 to 60 hour battery life depending on whether you're

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.040
running them passively or with active noise cancellation five minutes of

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:58.560
charging gives you four hours of playback and of course all the tuning

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:03.279
that you can do in the app for the active noise cancellation and eq

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:07.519
and for ShortCircuit viewers you guys can get 15 off if you check them out now

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

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:14.480
this one and we'll see you on the next movie

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.869
got this i can do it

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:26.360
there we go
