1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,719
there's a lot of Buzz about these cmf buds Pro two from nothing's budget brand

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:14,480
cmf because they're so dang cheap so we're going to find out if there's any

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:16,199
reason to pay more I mean 3 through 50

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,439
for the kind of Flagship buds from the major brands could these be that much

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,880
worse first thing you notice a fun color it comes in multiple colors I probably

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:28,199
wouldn't choose the blue but it's nice to have these options and there they are

7
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:34,239
inside too more comments on those after we look at what else it comes with cable

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,040
USB a to type c interesting choice not C

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:42,239
to c i you know that's probably philosophical on the one hand you're like come on get on the bus it's a USBC

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,160
future USBC everything but on the other hand there's lots of a ports around

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,280
still so it's probably just going to depend on you and what you have laying around does your laptop have an a port

12
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:54,640
this is really short and there's no adapter but you know what it's a budget

13
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,440
product so okay we do got ear tips and there's some instructions in there too

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,040
how many sizes of ear tips do we get they are silicone which I would expect

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:09,759
and you get the size that's on the bud which looks like Medium as well as a

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,880
smaller and a larger and they match the color that you bought the buds

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,759
themselves glossy hard plastic injection

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:22,640
molded stem design they're only glossy on this part the stem is actually matte

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:27,200
there's some symbols on here I don't know what they mean these pop off yep

20
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:30,479
normal kind of standard there's three microphones on each one we will do a mic

21
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,159
test later there's a little dot up here that could potentially be a mic there's one over

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:40,040
here where that looks a little bigger it might be a vent for the drivers but for

23
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,799
sure these two dots at the end of the stems are going to be two out of your

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,200
three mics there's two drivers actually there's a bigger one and a small one

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,240
it's 11 mm driver and then a 6 mm driver and we're going to see how they sound

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,560
later on kind of cool how they fit in there kind of just flip on top like that

27
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:02,039
magnetic kind of looks like it's agnostic but it ain't not only does it

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,159
not close properly if you screw it up but you can see that the Pogo pins won't

29
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,200
align because they're on the inside of the stem and right there and when you

30
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:14,959
put the wrong stem on there they are just not aligned they're rotated off by

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,760
like 50° or something is there an indicator on the stem of which one's the

32
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:25,440
right side usually nothing does like a big red dot but on

33
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:29,519
here they look identical it's a square design USBC charging has a indicator

34
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:33,680
light on it for pairing and stuff what's unique about the case is that it

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,800
actually has this control on it this dial satisfyingly

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,760
tactile it spins infinitely in either direction why do I need this there's

37
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,400
always some false negatives when you're trying to deal with the buttons on an

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,760
earphone you click it it doesn't work I have to click it again and then it turns

39
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,319
out to be a double click next song sucks so maybe this is a godsend let's get

40
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:57,879
these in my ear holes pretty good seal I'm getting a decent amount of passive

41
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,519
isolation my voice sounds different to me things seem a little quieter out here

42
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:06,000
this is what they look like oh I think that wasn't passive

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:12,319
isolation I think that was active noise cancelling I pulled it out and everything

44
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:14,920
changed James's famous Shake test they I

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,840
mean they're really in there IP rating though I would say the standard IP

46
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,799
rating for truly wireless earbuds is usually IP X4 which means that the X

47
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:29,239
means they did not test it or get a rating for ingress protection of dust

48
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:34,840
and debris uh and then the four would be splashes and stuff these are 55 which is

49
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,799
pretty good I'd like to see 65 cuz there's lots of devices that have the

50
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:43,560
six the highest rating for dust but it's nice that they have a rating at all and

51
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,319
then for the five water protection normally with a four you're just saying

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,000
hey that's that's going to be good for like sweat at the gym and I guess you

53
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,680
could wear them in the rain like you would hope but the five gets you like

54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,239
sprays from any angle sprays of water for 3 minutes so I mean you could

55
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:01,720
probably get away with wearing these in the shower unless you like freaking

56
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,920
really were shooting at them for your whole shower your shower I kind of

57
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:09,959
wanted to wear them in the shower the other day man I was I was like I don't

58
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,000
have a lot of time and I love listening to a podcast or something with that

59
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,239
found time you know when you're washing dishes and stuff like that might be nice

60
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,600
something I really care about with my earphones is the interface and messing

61
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:25,479
with that stuff is typically when I like to listen to them for the first time so we'll do all that right after this

71
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,639
all right nothing X start I've actually

72
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,840
never really seen this before it had issues pairing automatically and then it

73
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,840
has this kind of troubleshooting flow now where I can choose which earphone

74
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:18,560
I'm having trouble pairing and it's this one and now wow I don't need this it

75
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:23,000
gives me the instructions right here open the case without removing the buds

76
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,160
which I did locate the button inside the case and hold it for two seconds that

77
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,080
little can you even see how discreet this little button is yes I see it how

78
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,840
does it know they're blue is that a happy

79
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,680
accident super slick interface all right we're connected and I got my battery

80
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,000
level for each earbud right there got a cool visualization smart dial I'm

81
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:48,680
interested in this feature set up smart dial for more features let's try it oh

82
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,919
this is the Smart dial when I read smart dial I thought it

83
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,199
was a way to dial people's numbers

84
00:05:54,919 --> 00:06:00,120
smartly so you can actually get a press

85
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:05,360
a double press a triple press a press and hold and the rotate and looks like

86
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:10,000
by default there's just no action and it's nice that that's an option because

87
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,919
it's kind of sensitive this could go off in your pocket and that would suck let's

88
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:19,080
see what options you have for each one of these starting with the rotate which I think is the most interesting okay

89
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,479
it's volume or nothing what about seek imagine if this is like your

90
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,720
iPod what the hell why can't I do

91
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:34,319
anything okay well I can't edit any these I don't know why maybe it needs to

92
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,919
be playing music first okay I got these in now let's try this again oh cool I

93
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:44,440
can just select the earbud controls or the smart doll controls earbud

94
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:50,680
controls I can choose right or left I can make them different wow this is like

95
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:52,520
so so many options I like that you can

96
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,199
really customize this transparency control you can choose whether or not it

97
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,720
rotates through off which is dope double

98
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:04,400
tap and hold is the only one that exposes volume I will make it up on the

99
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:10,280
right and down on the left okay I could change those can I change this

100
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,440
now I can what was the difference I put

101
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,680
them in my ear maybe it was bugging out before maybe you need to have them in

102
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:20,520
your ear I don't know you can make it turn on low lag mode on and off which is

103
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:24,560
cool oh look at that you can actually have chat GPT as your voice assistant

104
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,360
which is pretty cool I believe that is only supported on specific nothing

105
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:31,000
phones and it looks like you have to have it installed too I wish wish that

106
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,840
was a link that I can just go and install it uh I want to try that so I'm

107
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,960
going to get that now okay that appears to be set up now I think maybe I'll

108
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,400
close the app launch it

109
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:46,759
again I did see this pop up before but it got dismissed but it's here again

110
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:54,159
which is good enabling seamless interaction with chat GPT as a custom voice AI while on the Move let's try it

111
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:58,599
chat GPT is there now finally let's listen to these

112
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,280
things whoa these are base heavy holy

113
00:07:58,599 --> 00:08:06,280
cow all Al they seem to be like blasting right now let's try turn it down okay

114
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,720
this is kind of annoying there is a volume sound like

115
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:17,440
boop boop boop with each step but there's a lag in the volume sound so if

116
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,319
I go like it only makes one Boop sound

117
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,759
even though I went like 10 steps and that Boop sound is like pretty delayed

118
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:29,840
so it's kind of bizarre holy cow is this the is this the

119
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,360
default curve this is not space I some

120
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,640
people are really going to like this but this is like definitely overcooked

121
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,200
compared to what the artist intended I should note now that these have direct

122
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:44,080
optio on them and dur obviously comes from the home theater space you can get

123
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:47,720
an AVR that has dra room correction on it and they are respected brand in that

124
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:53,320
space they know what they're doing this product is to help optimize sound using

125
00:08:50,839 --> 00:08:58,920
high resolution filters in headphones and in your car in other products they

126
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,839
allow a brand to Simply use dra's own

127
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Target curve curve or the brand own Target curve and in this case I'm pretty

128
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:10,040
sure they're using the Brand's Target curve because this is far from accurate

129
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:15,920
that's not to say you don't like it you know different strokes but it ain't flat

130
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:18,519
man how loud does this go way loud I

131
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,720
don't even want to go all the way yeah this is going to hurt me that's for sure

132
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,360
let's see how the volume works on here okay it worked but it was pretty

133
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,920
slow I didn't think it was going to work at first so I'm double tap and hold

134
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,760
this is just straight up not working that's why they have the dial cuz the

135
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:41,720
interface sucks on the buds yeah this interface sucks it appears that the top

136
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:47,240
of the stem is is really where the read is yeah right here this from here up

137
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:52,959
you're you're better off let's check out some EQ options in the app

138
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,160
equalizer whoa they got the dra one right

139
00:09:54,680 --> 00:10:01,360
there and then here's custom they do give you the plus 6 DB

140
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:08,120
I mean honestly with the base turned all the way down it's still

141
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:10,640
normal when you crank it it is

142
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,360
thumpy I wish it showed those dials when you're on these other ones so you could

143
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:21,160
get a sense of where they are but I expect that especially the optio one is

144
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:25,160
probably tuned with a lot more granularity than those dots that we get

145
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,880
exposed to in custom oh they do give you a little Cloud for the other ones

146
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:34,200
interestingly you can switch between these so quickly but when you go to opio

147
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,360
it takes longer and actually interrupts the music for a second I love this song

148
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,120
it's got a really good flam I love a good flam you know what that is it's

149
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:44,639
when you take both drumsticks you make them a little offset and then you hit

150
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:49,440
the drum with it so they go yeah this much bass is just not right

151
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:54,320
for metal but they really dancable they sound great putting you in rock mode

152
00:10:51,360 --> 00:11:00,360
really made it crunchier oh I don't like this Rocky Q check out the delay on this

153
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:00,360
uh button here

154
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,880
the music is starting even later than you can see the visualization go it's

155
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:12,320
like music's playing now stop let's talk battery life claims

156
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:18,440
they got 60 Milah hours on the buds and 460 Mah hours in the case that'll net

157
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,480
you 43 hours of play back with no a ANC

158
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:25,279
on with including you know charging it through the case which is 11 hours on

159
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:29,959
the buds themselves however I almost always use a andc and that will net me 6

160
00:11:27,959 --> 00:11:36,160
and 1/2 hours on the buz and 26 uh all told 10 minutes of

161
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:39,240
charging gets you 3 hours no ANC or 1.8

162
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,120
hours do that conversion to minutes

163
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:47,320
yourself with ANC I'm not in a great environment to assess the quality of the

164
00:11:43,959 --> 00:11:49,040
ANC what I can say is it sounds normal

165
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,200
you know it's kind of table Stakes on a lot of earbuds now I mean these These

166
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,120
are 60 bucks and they have them and they have this chat GPT thing which is

167
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:01,160
interesting to me and I want to try just very briefly it seems like it just

168
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:05,000
launches the app I'm not hearing anything in my ears at all it's just

169
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,240
telling me there that I can't have chat GPT on when I hold down this but a

170
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,079
different assistant when I hold down that it's one assistant for all let's

171
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,079
see what

172
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,920
happens yeah apparently the assistant button just launches the whatever

173
00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:25,519
assistant on your phone and does nothing in the buds uh not sure what's up with

174
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:29,680
that okay I did hear it say here's what I found on the web in the buds but it

175
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:35,360
never went like what's up or like boink or anything like that hello how are

176
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,600
you I'm great thanks for asking I can hear it but like there's there's no way

177
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:44,360
to know that it's even listening that is unfortunate I don't expect that to be

178
00:12:41,839 --> 00:12:49,639
normal I'm assuming there's something wrong right now with our setup or our

179
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,279
firmware or it's a bug de fix it's not

180
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:57,240
working right now um overall take on these things 60 bucks or 90 Canadian

181
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:01,079
these are really great value the build quality is cool the sound quality is not

182
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:06,000
bad at all it's definitely good enough for vast majority of people um the case

183
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:10,079
has some cool features it just doesn't seem like you're compromising very much

184
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:14,160
for this low price and I think that others are going to struggle to compete

185
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:18,320
with these definitely worth at least investigating if you're shopping for

186
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:22,519
earbuds especially I mean even if you're trying to pay more maybe you should just

187
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,000
