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.

00:00:05.170 --> 00:00:09.210
These are the JBuds Frames. And Luke and I have talked about this

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:13.950
on "The WAN Show" before, that there is literally no human way

00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:16.990
to wear sunglasses without looking like a douchebag,

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

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.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.030
The answer is yes. These are the Jbuds Frames.

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,

00:00:38.110 --> 00:00:41.750
a Bluetooth speaker/headset accessory

00:00:41.750 --> 00:00:45.980
that clips onto your sunglasses. So instead of spending a bunch of money

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:52.340
on sunglasses that might be, you know, kinda mediocre sunglasses with kinda mediocre speakers,

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:56.700
now you can have really good or even really crappy sunglasses

00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:01.800
with presumably mediocre speakers. In terms of accessories, they come with a charging kit...

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.900
Oh, okay, yeah. Neat. So this is a...

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.

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!

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:18.130
I wanna get away from you! Ah! No! No, I'ma dodge you!"

00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:21.210
You know what? I gotta say, thanks, JLab,

00:01:21.210 --> 00:01:24.410
because this is a nice, cushiony sunglass case

00:01:24.410 --> 00:01:28.370
with whatever this little rubber accessory thing is in it.

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.

00:01:33.270 --> 00:01:37.113
That's what these are for. There we go.

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:42.220
Why didn't they just come pre-installed? I don't know.

00:01:42.220 --> 00:01:46.600
Okay. Well, that's on there. Oh, yeah. That's on there real good.

00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:50.280
Look at this. That's quality speakers.

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.680
Won't even break off. Oi!

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.170
Outta 10, how cool am I right now? - [Andy] He looks like a Justin Bieber.

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?

00:02:02.590 --> 00:02:05.900
- [Andy] I don't know. You tell me. It looks pretty good.

00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:08.930
- Yeah? Is it too bulky?

00:02:08.930 --> 00:02:12.000
From the front it's bulky. - Yeah. - In terms of the weight,

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.940
I've actually gotta give them credit. It doesn't feel that different

00:02:15.940 --> 00:02:19.560
from just having sunglasses on.

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.790
I mean, in fairness, I have a fairly grand nose, you know?

00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:27.860
So there's a lot of foundation for the glasses to rest on there.

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:31.030
But yeah, it's not bad. Actually not bad at all.

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

00:02:34.690 --> 00:02:38.670
and they go into pairing mode. "Ready to pair." Hey, I can hear it!

00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:42.190

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.

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,

00:03:22.320 --> 00:03:26.000
this are going to sound like absolute ass garbage.

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.320
You know what? Let's listen to some "My Little Pony" music.

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:32.570
Okay, they're working in stereo now, so that's good.

00:03:32.570 --> 00:03:37.690
Wow. Oh boy. So this is a song about Cheerilee, the schoolteacher.

00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:43.270
I'm at the, "Hey, you're approaching hearing damage," levels of volume thing right now

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.

00:03:48.714 --> 00:03:52.867
(cheery music) Hold on a second here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:52.867 --> 00:03:58.540
"Respectful sound. The open speaker design features powerful 16mm drivers

00:03:58.540 --> 00:04:02.850
that produce sound perfect for just you. The unique design targets your ears

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

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.

00:04:11.670 --> 00:04:15.060
Problem number one: the speakers point down.

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:18.600
They're ported down the bottom. Like, down.

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.240
Also, it appears, based on the picture,

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.250
that the speakers are meant to be mounted... Oh, no, no, no, no!

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.

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.

00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:35.923
Let's see if this new fitment paradigm enhances the experience.

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.673
This definitely looks stupider, doesn't it? - Yes. - Okay.

00:04:41.625 --> 00:04:44.740
(tinny, upbeat music)

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:49.109
(crew laughing) I mean, you guys can just hear this fine, right?

00:04:49.109 --> 00:04:52.260
- Yeah. - Yeah. - I can...

00:04:52.260 --> 00:04:55.373
This is like... I can...

00:04:55.373 --> 00:04:58.630
Like, I can hear it. - [David] I think we can hear it more

00:04:58.630 --> 00:05:03.020
when it's on your head. - Well, it's because the speakers are ported down.

00:05:03.020 --> 00:05:07.600
- Yeah. - Yeah. Actually... They're ported to the outside too!

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.523
Am I wearing them back... (crew laughing) No, I'm not.

00:05:11.380 --> 00:05:14.663
Now, maybe that's to give them a more open sound.

00:05:15.770 --> 00:05:19.840
But it does mean that, yeah, you guys can hear it just fine

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:23.193
at what is a comfortable listening volume for me. What if I crank it?

00:05:24.030 --> 00:05:25.830
You're getting that skull resonance.

00:05:27.721 --> 00:05:32.080
(upbeat music) Wow, that distortion is something else.

00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:35.283
(crew laughing) Okay.

00:05:35.283 --> 00:05:39.660
But, but, this product can absolutely be redeemed.

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:43.750
Eight hours play time, okay. How's the water resistance?

00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:47.090
Says absolutely nothing about that. That's not encouraging.

00:05:47.090 --> 00:05:50.541
But tell me this: Jono, how much does this cost?

00:05:50.541 --> 00:05:54.810
- [Jono] 50 bucks. - 50 bucks. Well, there's your answer right there.

00:05:54.810 --> 00:05:59.010
If you want a pair of Bluetooth speakers that clips to your sunglasses

00:05:59.010 --> 00:06:03.950
and you don't wanna spend a lot of money, then hey, frat boy,

00:06:03.950 --> 00:06:08.770
here it is right here. And when you lose them in a drunken stupor,

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.

00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:18.970
Wow, I don't usually get that antagonistic in our videos. I just love sunglasses

00:06:18.970 --> 00:06:22.250
because I don't like having the sun in my eyes, but I hate sunglasses

00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:27.050
because I hate who I am when I wear them. (crew laughs)

00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:31.280
Yup. And these... You know what? For 50 bucks, you know what?

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:35.340
Yeah, sure. Yeah, fine. - [Jono] You can also make calls.

00:06:35.340 --> 00:06:39.023
- Call Yvonne Ho. No, wait.

00:06:40.250 --> 00:06:44.630
We're listening to TheFatRat now. Okay, but it turned off!

00:06:44.630 --> 00:06:49.048
You gotta be kidding me. They're supposed to go on the other way?

00:06:49.048 --> 00:06:52.310
(crew laughs)

00:06:52.310 --> 00:06:56.340
Okay. Hey, at least the controls make sense now. Okay.

00:06:56.340 --> 00:07:00.643
So volume up right there. Double-press for play/pause, okay.

00:07:03.130 --> 00:07:07.320
Press and hold for one second, track forward. Okay, cool.

00:07:07.320 --> 00:07:11.150
So double-tap... Call Yvonne Ho.

00:07:11.150 --> 00:07:14.510
- Hey. - Yes, hello wife lady. You're on speakerphone.

00:07:16.770 --> 00:07:21.170
Um, I just wanted to check in with you. - [Yvonne] About what?

00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:24.860
- Does my voice sound good? - [Yvonne] What do you want?

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:28.440
You sound like you did something wrong. - No, no, I didn't do anything wrong. I...

00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:31.810
Why would you assume that? (crew laughing)

00:07:31.810 --> 00:07:35.860
I just want to know if this microphone is any good. - [Yvonne] It's fine.

00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:39.190
- Okay, all right. All right, thanks. Man.

00:07:39.190 --> 00:07:42.570
So what we gotta figure out is what is it:

00:07:42.570 --> 00:07:45.620
some quality of the microphone,

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:51.300
or is it something about being a douchy, indoor-sunglass-wearing (beep)

00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:54.670
that makes your wife thinks you did something wrong? By the way, oh, for those wondering,

00:07:54.670 --> 00:08:00.700
no they did not sound any better in the correct orientation. They're suitably adequate,

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...

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

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.280
is probably about what you deserve to spend on it.

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:15.260
Thanks, everyone. Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit.
