WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.299
want to buy a pair of airpods Pros but can't justify the price well one more

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:09.720
who sponsored this video says that their Aero truly Wireless active noise

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:13.799
canceling earphones are a great alternative and they're only 109.99

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.820
let's check it out look at this it's like Da Vinci kind of stuff over here

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:23.340
protruvian earphones you got the case with a paper thing on it I'm not gonna

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:27.300
open it yet though is there more oh is there more in here

00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:31.560
ear tips someone's been here before me what the heck is this oh it's just a I

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.980
thought it was like a Bluetooth like it has a stick kind of quality to it I

00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:39.420
thought it was a your piece but no it's a USB a to c

00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:44.100
charging cable for your charging case and here we got oh my oh God they're

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.120
gone they're really squishy silicone and they got these red inside and a little

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:51.300
perforated mesh look I have an odd number of them I think I think I lost

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:55.980
one no matter I'm a medium anyway there's also a user guide I hope I don't

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:58.860
need this oh here it is there we go it all was right with the world all right

00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:03.600
let's check these things out themselves this is a quite a small case it's pretty

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:07.680
thin like you see a lot with these Dimensions here this kind of bubble form

00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:10.979
factor but this Dimension I would say that's like a couple millimeters thinner

00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:13.860
than I've seen a lot of competing cases and then the charge port is on the

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:18.900
bottom looks like there's an LED indicator light that's going to be flashing there in certain circumstances

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.340
we'll see what those are maybe pairing maybe a low battery who knows and here's

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:26.880
the lid opens this way kind of a satisfying to kind of throw it

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.619
open once you get your thumb under there and there are the earbuds

00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:36.119
they've got like a very simple kind of what would you call that this tapered

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.560
kind of there's actually a monument in Vancouver downtown that looks like that

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.920
it's like an upside down teardrop statue interesting they have 10 millimeter

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:47.460
drivers inside it's called diamond-liked carbon you can see there's a very subtle

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:52.500
one more logo on there I don't know if you can see that the light has to hit it

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:54.780
it's like just a little glossy spot in a

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:58.920
sea of matte black and there's one microphone there they have six mics in

00:01:57.420 --> 00:02:04.680
total I think that's three per earbud for Clear calls

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.880
and they go in just like this cool they

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:10.319
almost feel like they have like an earring shape what do you think how do they look

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:14.340
discreet executive I feel like I could probably

00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:18.000
Step Up usually they come with like a medium-sized your tip on but these

00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:21.959
actually appear to be the smaller size on there by default I'm going to step up

00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:26.640
to medium and see how easy it is to put these on yep standard looking what would

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:29.580
you call that mount and then you can see the perforated Grille of the earbud

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:33.599
underneath the mount let's put this on for those of you don't

00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:38.580
know who one more is they are actually the most awarded headphone brand at CES

00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:43.080
and they have four time Grammy award-winning sound engineer Luca big

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.620
Nardi tuning all of their audio products to make sure that they convey the

00:02:44.459 --> 00:02:50.340
artist's intent in your music and movies I believe you probably tuned the eqs

00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.200
that we're going to see in the app in a minute let's look at the case some more magnetic of course

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.120
boom snap right in they sit in there in a really intuitive

00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:03.660
way sometimes in cases it's kind of I don't know if you have a small smooth

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.200
brain like I do you have to do some gymnastics to figure out how they fit in

00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:10.980
but these just fit in in the most simple way possible and I like the Contours of

00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:14.900
the case here it's nice let's get these things paired just open

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:19.099
up the lid hold on just open up the lid

00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:24.900
and there they are there is actually a pairing button on the back of the case

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:28.019
that I did not have to press it's very subtle just this little circle right

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.580
there all right I want to start by checking out this one more music app

00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:36.900
I probably could have paired it through here actually oh my goodness

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:43.200
there's two colors well I have black okay so now here's the interface I can

00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:45.239
just tap double tap for play uh oh I

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:51.120
guess I'll turn on Siri double tap dance or phone calls voice control triple tap

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:54.360
one two three there she is and touch and hold for

00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.540
listening modes because there are actually several profiles for active

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:03.659
noise canceling they're different aggressiveness levels we'll look at those in a bit touch and hold for that

00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:05.099
so according to those instructions these

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:10.439
should be symmetrical controls we'll look at that you can see the battery level for the case and each earbud the

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:14.400
case actually is wireless charging Qi charging compatible and they're

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:19.440
advertising 28 hours of playback across you know the battery of the case and the

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:22.979
earbuds and just 15 minutes of charging can get you three hours of audio

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:26.100
playback I can see my listening modes here so I'm going to hold down and see

00:04:24.300 --> 00:04:31.440
if it switches between them yep there's a and C okay and I switched to

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:35.280
transparent and I switched to off so it only Cycles through the three which I

00:04:33.419 --> 00:04:40.199
think is the right move and it's in the app that you specify when it Cycles the

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:47.580
ANC which ANC do you want it to go to a strong mild wnr is a wind resistant one

00:04:42.780 --> 00:04:49.080
and adaptive I I would think huh

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:53.280
actually I don't know I was gonna say I think most people would use adaptive but

00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:56.880
maybe you just either like strong or mild I don't know personal preference

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:59.699
what would I do probably adaptive and then what do you got here spatial audio

00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:05.639
this is a big one on here the spatial audio and head tracking on these

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:08.100
earphones works with every track and

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.520
every device it doesn't need to be on an iPhone it doesn't need to be a supported

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:15.300
track that was mixed for spatial audio it just works we're gonna try that that

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:20.280
out in a bit I'll turn that on now it's a toggle this toast is set up complete

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.600
it's uh interesting I don't think it's really needed uh smart loudness what

00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:27.960
that is those are curves of equal loudness your ears are actually

00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:32.400
differently sensitive to different frequencies at different volumes so what

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.460
happens is you turn down the music and suddenly you can't hear the bass anymore

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:40.620
because your ears aren't that sensitive to Bass so what they'll do here is crank

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:45.060
up the bass as you turn down the volume oh yeah look at that little animation it

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.740
makes the sound experience more consistent at different volume levels you gotta have it so you can actually

00:05:47.940 --> 00:05:53.280
adjust how aggressive the curves of equal loudness are so if I crack it like

00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:00.479
that I turn this down you still have pretty thumpy bass if I go all the way here

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.120
well the base fell off I can barely hear

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.840
it now interesting I don't think I've ever seen an app that lets you control

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:10.139
that aspect of it it's kind of hard to grab this little dot though I'll say

00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:14.340
that sound options that's probably gonna be the eqs yes

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:19.979
preset eqs Studio bass reducer bass boost you're kind of standard ones vocal

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:22.380
booster but I want that for podcasts uh

00:06:19.979 --> 00:06:27.900
let's go to Studio that sounds good and custom EQ nice you love to see it a lot

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:32.340
of gradations whoop you can set this a lot of earphones will just give you bass

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.819
mids and highs and a lot of times don't even tell you what frequency your sauce

00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:40.020
is those correspond to but these frequencies are labeled here it's

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:43.979
non-linear some of the jumps are like that's like a 5000k jump whereas over

00:06:42.419 --> 00:06:47.460
here it's only a couple hundred at least it's labeled right and you can go up to

00:06:45.479 --> 00:06:51.060
plus or minus three on here I'll just reset that and get the heck out of here

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.240
but that's cool and then you got custom settings oh this is where you change the

00:06:52.919 --> 00:06:57.360
interface for yourself so you can make it so they're not symmetrical and you

00:06:55.979 --> 00:07:01.080
can adjust the double tap and the triple the top Behavior here's our single tap

00:06:58.979 --> 00:07:05.639
Behavior forget it doesn't look like it I see that on a fair number of earphones

00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:10.199
but I don't know why I guess that's to avoid accidental Taps and it does look

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:14.520
like you can yeah it looks like you can adjust any one of the parameters for

00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:18.180
each of the interactions sometimes they limit you to a subset of interactions

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.220
per parameter but these are completely agnostic so that's cool

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.660
I enjoy that soothing sounds holy I can

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:28.620
just play some white noise built in don't have to suck data then that's

00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:33.360
pretty good got Summer Rain medium fire that is soothing oh boy

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:36.900
someone else had crab bucket going that's not in my Rolodex of test songs

00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:41.699
but it's a good song let's check it out I would say these uh definitely get loud

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:45.680
enough this is already louder than I would usually listen to and it's only

00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:49.080
about 80 percent now do I have I have head tracking on

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:54.360
here oh yeah

00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:57.660
cool now let's see if that's this case on a different app if I go to YouTube

00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:05.900
instead of Apple music well I still have that oh look at another crab song

00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:05.900
well it's true special audio's on

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:13.220
up there it goes Autumn automatically pauses when you pull them out

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:19.020
I would say these are pretty comfortable they're pretty light

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:23.340
and they one of their talking points here is long lasting comfort so far no

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:26.520
reason to disbelieve that although you do Gotta Wear earphones for at least an

00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:30.539
hour before you really know that in my experience just gonna test out the

00:08:28.020 --> 00:08:35.120
different levels of that aggressive or not aggressive ANC

00:08:32.459 --> 00:08:41.659
strong I'm basically living in a void right now

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.659
mild

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.140
it still works that's for sure I can't hear any of the fan noise from the

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:54.060
cameras or HVAC humming or anything like that the wind versus one here come

00:08:51.300 --> 00:08:59.640
blowing my face okay I got ANC on mild right now I can hear the fan but less

00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:04.560
strong you know what as I sit here with strong on I can hear

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.300
kind of little crackles or pops a little kind of like

00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:12.060
frictiony sounds of wind I guess the wind's going through the

00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:14.600
microphones now what happens when I go wnr

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:20.700
those disappear the fan noise of the engine is a little

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:25.620
louder because the ANC isn't as strong it's not cutting out bad as much but all

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:30.320
those little like close-ups are gone so that's pretty cool

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:30.320
what about adaptive What's it gonna do

00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:38.399
uh it's not like wnr it's more like strong or mild okay cool they say that

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:45.000
the ANC I assume this applies to the strong setting can remove up to 42

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:47.519
decibels of loudness and finally how do

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.720
these work with you know being active well I can tell you that they feel

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:55.740
reasonably in my ears even though they don't feel like super

00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:58.680
penetrative they're more like airpods pros than airpods and that you know

00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:04.200
these actually do go in your ears and make a seal I don't know for some reason they still maybe because the body is so

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:07.519
out here they still kind of feel a little shallow but nonetheless they feel

00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:12.180
really in your ears and they have an ipx5 water resistance or Ingress

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:17.519
Protection rating which is pretty cool uh typically what you see typically is

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:20.820
the ipx4 which is just like splashes and stuff this takes to the next level so

00:10:19.380 --> 00:10:26.399
that's great to see I wouldn't go swimming in them though so thanks for watching guys if you are interested in

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:31.019
the one more arrows you can get 20 off on their site or on Amazon so check it

00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:35.720
out at the link below I have such wet earwax man

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.720
embarrassing
