1
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:05,170
- I've been off on vacation for a week and man, do I ever wish I had me one of these.

2
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:09,210
These are the JBuds Frames. And Luke and I have talked about this

3
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:13,950
on "The WAN Show" before, that there is literally no human way

4
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:16,990
to wear sunglasses without looking like a douchebag,

5
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:22,220
but what we've never talked about before is whether there's anything you can do to your sunglasses

6
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:28,480
to make you look like more of a douchebag. And now we've finally got the answer.

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,030
The answer is yes. These are the Jbuds Frames.

8
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:38,110
They're wireless audio for when you're on the go. And basically it's, as far as I can tell,

9
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:41,750
a Bluetooth speaker/headset accessory

10
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:45,980
that clips onto your sunglasses. So instead of spending a bunch of money

11
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:52,340
on sunglasses that might be, you know, kinda mediocre sunglasses with kinda mediocre speakers,

12
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:56,700
now you can have really good or even really crappy sunglasses

13
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:01,800
with presumably mediocre speakers. In terms of accessories, they come with a charging kit...

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,900
Oh, okay, yeah. Neat. So this is a...

15
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:08,870
How does this go on? Oh, it's magnetic. Don't try and put that on the wrong way.

16
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:12,700
It's gonna be like, "No, please don't put me on that way! Ah! I'll run away!

17
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:18,130
I wanna get away from you! Ah! No! No, I'ma dodge you!"

18
00:01:18,130 --> 00:01:21,210
You know what? I gotta say, thanks, JLab,

19
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:24,410
because this is a nice, cushiony sunglass case

20
00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:28,370
with whatever this little rubber accessory thing is in it.

21
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:33,270
Oh! Whoo-hoo! Look at that! It's like a party and all the rubbers are invited.

22
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:37,113
That's what these are for. There we go.

23
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,220
Why didn't they just come pre-installed? I don't know.

24
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:46,600
Okay. Well, that's on there. Oh, yeah. That's on there real good.

25
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Look at this. That's quality speakers.

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,680
Won't even break off. Oi!

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,170
Outta 10, how cool am I right now? - [Andy] He looks like a Justin Bieber.

28
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:02,590
- I said outta 10. Wait a minute. Justin Bieber. Well, okay. Are you a Belieber or not?

29
00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:05,900
- [Andy] I don't know. You tell me. It looks pretty good.

30
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,930
- Yeah? Is it too bulky?

31
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:12,000
From the front it's bulky. - Yeah. - In terms of the weight,

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,940
I've actually gotta give them credit. It doesn't feel that different

33
00:02:15,940 --> 00:02:19,560
from just having sunglasses on.

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,790
I mean, in fairness, I have a fairly grand nose, you know?

35
00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:27,860
So there's a lot of foundation for the glasses to rest on there.

36
00:02:27,860 --> 00:02:31,030
But yeah, it's not bad. Actually not bad at all.

37
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:34,690
All right, let's go ahead and fire these puppies up. Presumably you just hold the button

38
00:02:34,690 --> 00:02:38,670
and they go into pairing mode. "Ready to pair." Hey, I can hear it!

39
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:42,190

48
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:18,470
No, I mean they don't use it. But they should. Now, so far I've only heard anything out of the left one.

49
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:22,320
And if the little voice talking to me about the battery being full is anything to go by,

50
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000
this are going to sound like absolute ass garbage.

51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320
You know what? Let's listen to some "My Little Pony" music.

52
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,570
Okay, they're working in stereo now, so that's good.

53
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:37,690
Wow. Oh boy. So this is a song about Cheerilee, the schoolteacher.

54
00:03:37,690 --> 00:03:43,270
I'm at the, "Hey, you're approaching hearing damage," levels of volume thing right now

55
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:48,714
and I can barely hear it in a quiet studio with everyone, "Quiet on set!" kinda thing.

56
00:03:48,714 --> 00:03:52,867
(cheery music) Hold on a second here, ladies and gentlemen.

57
00:03:52,867 --> 00:03:58,540
"Respectful sound. The open speaker design features powerful 16mm drivers

58
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:02,850
that produce sound perfect for just you. The unique design targets your ears

59
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:07,410
without annoying those around you while being aware of your surroundings." Okay, so the idea is you can hear

60
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:11,670
what's going on around you, but we got a bit of a problem with that theory.

61
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:15,060
Problem number one: the speakers point down.

62
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:18,600
They're ported down the bottom. Like, down.

63
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Also, it appears, based on the picture,

64
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,250
that the speakers are meant to be mounted... Oh, no, no, no, no!

65
00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:29,120
They're meant to be mounted farther back. Okay, so maybe that's part of our problem here.

66
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,200
So let's move these back. Okay, I'll give 'em another shot. I'll give 'em another shot.

67
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,923
Let's see if this new fitment paradigm enhances the experience.

68
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,673
This definitely looks stupider, doesn't it? - Yes. - Okay.

69
00:04:41,625 --> 00:04:44,740
(tinny, upbeat music)

70
00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:49,109
(crew laughing) I mean, you guys can just hear this fine, right?

71
00:04:49,109 --> 00:04:52,260
- Yeah. - Yeah. - I can...

72
00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:55,373
This is like... I can...

73
00:04:55,373 --> 00:04:58,630
Like, I can hear it. - [David] I think we can hear it more

74
00:04:58,630 --> 00:05:03,020
when it's on your head. - Well, it's because the speakers are ported down.

75
00:05:03,020 --> 00:05:07,600
- Yeah. - Yeah. Actually... They're ported to the outside too!

76
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,523
Am I wearing them back... (crew laughing) No, I'm not.

77
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:14,663
Now, maybe that's to give them a more open sound.

78
00:05:15,770 --> 00:05:19,840
But it does mean that, yeah, you guys can hear it just fine

79
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,193
at what is a comfortable listening volume for me. What if I crank it?

80
00:05:24,030 --> 00:05:25,830
You're getting that skull resonance.

81
00:05:27,721 --> 00:05:32,080
(upbeat music) Wow, that distortion is something else.

82
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,283
(crew laughing) Okay.

83
00:05:35,283 --> 00:05:39,660
But, but, this product can absolutely be redeemed.

84
00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:43,750
Eight hours play time, okay. How's the water resistance?

85
00:05:43,750 --> 00:05:47,090
Says absolutely nothing about that. That's not encouraging.

86
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:50,541
But tell me this: Jono, how much does this cost?

87
00:05:50,541 --> 00:05:54,810
- [Jono] 50 bucks. - 50 bucks. Well, there's your answer right there.

88
00:05:54,810 --> 00:05:59,010
If you want a pair of Bluetooth speakers that clips to your sunglasses

89
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:03,950
and you don't wanna spend a lot of money, then hey, frat boy,

90
00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:08,770
here it is right here. And when you lose them in a drunken stupor,

91
00:06:08,770 --> 00:06:13,173
you won't even care, because Daddy's trust fund's gonna take care of you just fine.

92
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,970
Wow, I don't usually get that antagonistic in our videos. I just love sunglasses

93
00:06:18,970 --> 00:06:22,250
because I don't like having the sun in my eyes, but I hate sunglasses

94
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:27,050
because I hate who I am when I wear them. (crew laughs)

95
00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:31,280
Yup. And these... You know what? For 50 bucks, you know what?

96
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,340
Yeah, sure. Yeah, fine. - [Jono] You can also make calls.

97
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:39,023
- Call Yvonne Ho. No, wait.

98
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:44,630
We're listening to TheFatRat now. Okay, but it turned off!

99
00:06:44,630 --> 00:06:49,048
You gotta be kidding me. They're supposed to go on the other way?

100
00:06:49,048 --> 00:06:52,310
(crew laughs)

101
00:06:52,310 --> 00:06:56,340
Okay. Hey, at least the controls make sense now. Okay.

102
00:06:56,340 --> 00:07:00,643
So volume up right there. Double-press for play/pause, okay.

103
00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:07,320
Press and hold for one second, track forward. Okay, cool.

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,150
So double-tap... Call Yvonne Ho.

105
00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:14,510
- Hey. - Yes, hello wife lady. You're on speakerphone.

106
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:21,170
Um, I just wanted to check in with you. - [Yvonne] About what?

107
00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:24,860
- Does my voice sound good? - [Yvonne] What do you want?

108
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:28,440
You sound like you did something wrong. - No, no, I didn't do anything wrong. I...

109
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,810
Why would you assume that? (crew laughing)

110
00:07:31,810 --> 00:07:35,860
I just want to know if this microphone is any good. - [Yvonne] It's fine.

111
00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:39,190
- Okay, all right. All right, thanks. Man.

112
00:07:39,190 --> 00:07:42,570
So what we gotta figure out is what is it:

113
00:07:42,570 --> 00:07:45,620
some quality of the microphone,

114
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:51,300
or is it something about being a douchy, indoor-sunglass-wearing (beep)

115
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:54,670
that makes your wife thinks you did something wrong? By the way, oh, for those wondering,

116
00:07:54,670 --> 00:08:00,700
no they did not sound any better in the correct orientation. They're suitably adequate,

117
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:05,500
if you don't care about sound quality, but you don't, because you have clip-on sunglasses speakers, so...

118
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,000
You know what? I stand behind it. If you want one of these, I think 50 bucks

119
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,280
is probably about what you deserve to spend on it.

120
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,260
