want to buy a pair of airpods Pros but can't justify the price well one more
who sponsored this video says that their Aero truly Wireless active noise
canceling earphones are a great alternative and they're only 109.99
let's check it out look at this it's like Da Vinci kind of stuff over here
protruvian earphones you got the case with a paper thing on it I'm not gonna
open it yet though is there more oh is there more in here
ear tips someone's been here before me what the heck is this oh it's just a I
thought it was like a Bluetooth like it has a stick kind of quality to it I
thought it was a your piece but no it's a USB a to c
charging cable for your charging case and here we got oh my oh God they're
gone they're really squishy silicone and they got these red inside and a little
perforated mesh look I have an odd number of them I think I think I lost
one no matter I'm a medium anyway there's also a user guide I hope I don't
need this oh here it is there we go it all was right with the world all right
let's check these things out themselves this is a quite a small case it's pretty
thin like you see a lot with these Dimensions here this kind of bubble form
factor but this Dimension I would say that's like a couple millimeters thinner
than I've seen a lot of competing cases and then the charge port is on the
bottom looks like there's an LED indicator light that's going to be flashing there in certain circumstances
we'll see what those are maybe pairing maybe a low battery who knows and here's
the lid opens this way kind of a satisfying to kind of throw it
open once you get your thumb under there and there are the earbuds
they've got like a very simple kind of what would you call that this tapered
kind of there's actually a monument in Vancouver downtown that looks like that
it's like an upside down teardrop statue interesting they have 10 millimeter
drivers inside it's called diamond-liked carbon you can see there's a very subtle
one more logo on there I don't know if you can see that the light has to hit it
it's like just a little glossy spot in a
sea of matte black and there's one microphone there they have six mics in
total I think that's three per earbud for Clear calls
and they go in just like this cool they
almost feel like they have like an earring shape what do you think how do they look
discreet executive I feel like I could probably
Step Up usually they come with like a medium-sized your tip on but these
actually appear to be the smaller size on there by default I'm going to step up
to medium and see how easy it is to put these on yep standard looking what would
you call that mount and then you can see the perforated Grille of the earbud
underneath the mount let's put this on for those of you don't
know who one more is they are actually the most awarded headphone brand at CES
and they have four time Grammy award-winning sound engineer Luca big
Nardi tuning all of their audio products to make sure that they convey the
artist's intent in your music and movies I believe you probably tuned the eqs
that we're going to see in the app in a minute let's look at the case some more magnetic of course
boom snap right in they sit in there in a really intuitive
way sometimes in cases it's kind of I don't know if you have a small smooth
brain like I do you have to do some gymnastics to figure out how they fit in
but these just fit in in the most simple way possible and I like the Contours of
the case here it's nice let's get these things paired just open
up the lid hold on just open up the lid
and there they are there is actually a pairing button on the back of the case
that I did not have to press it's very subtle just this little circle right
there all right I want to start by checking out this one more music app
I probably could have paired it through here actually oh my goodness
there's two colors well I have black okay so now here's the interface I can
just tap double tap for play uh oh I
guess I'll turn on Siri double tap dance or phone calls voice control triple tap
one two three there she is and touch and hold for
listening modes because there are actually several profiles for active
noise canceling they're different aggressiveness levels we'll look at those in a bit touch and hold for that
so according to those instructions these
should be symmetrical controls we'll look at that you can see the battery level for the case and each earbud the
case actually is wireless charging Qi charging compatible and they're
advertising 28 hours of playback across you know the battery of the case and the
earbuds and just 15 minutes of charging can get you three hours of audio
playback I can see my listening modes here so I'm going to hold down and see
if it switches between them yep there's a and C okay and I switched to
transparent and I switched to off so it only Cycles through the three which I
think is the right move and it's in the app that you specify when it Cycles the
ANC which ANC do you want it to go to a strong mild wnr is a wind resistant one
and adaptive I I would think huh
actually I don't know I was gonna say I think most people would use adaptive but
maybe you just either like strong or mild I don't know personal preference
what would I do probably adaptive and then what do you got here spatial audio
this is a big one on here the spatial audio and head tracking on these
earphones works with every track and
every device it doesn't need to be on an iPhone it doesn't need to be a supported
track that was mixed for spatial audio it just works we're gonna try that that
out in a bit I'll turn that on now it's a toggle this toast is set up complete
it's uh interesting I don't think it's really needed uh smart loudness what
that is those are curves of equal loudness your ears are actually
differently sensitive to different frequencies at different volumes so what
happens is you turn down the music and suddenly you can't hear the bass anymore
because your ears aren't that sensitive to Bass so what they'll do here is crank
up the bass as you turn down the volume oh yeah look at that little animation it
makes the sound experience more consistent at different volume levels you gotta have it so you can actually
adjust how aggressive the curves of equal loudness are so if I crack it like
that I turn this down you still have pretty thumpy bass if I go all the way here
well the base fell off I can barely hear
it now interesting I don't think I've ever seen an app that lets you control
that aspect of it it's kind of hard to grab this little dot though I'll say
that sound options that's probably gonna be the eqs yes
preset eqs Studio bass reducer bass boost you're kind of standard ones vocal
booster but I want that for podcasts uh
let's go to Studio that sounds good and custom EQ nice you love to see it a lot
of gradations whoop you can set this a lot of earphones will just give you bass
mids and highs and a lot of times don't even tell you what frequency your sauce
is those correspond to but these frequencies are labeled here it's
non-linear some of the jumps are like that's like a 5000k jump whereas over
here it's only a couple hundred at least it's labeled right and you can go up to
plus or minus three on here I'll just reset that and get the heck out of here
but that's cool and then you got custom settings oh this is where you change the
interface for yourself so you can make it so they're not symmetrical and you
can adjust the double tap and the triple the top Behavior here's our single tap
Behavior forget it doesn't look like it I see that on a fair number of earphones
but I don't know why I guess that's to avoid accidental Taps and it does look
like you can yeah it looks like you can adjust any one of the parameters for
each of the interactions sometimes they limit you to a subset of interactions
per parameter but these are completely agnostic so that's cool
I enjoy that soothing sounds holy I can
just play some white noise built in don't have to suck data then that's
pretty good got Summer Rain medium fire that is soothing oh boy
someone else had crab bucket going that's not in my Rolodex of test songs
but it's a good song let's check it out I would say these uh definitely get loud
enough this is already louder than I would usually listen to and it's only
about 80 percent now do I have I have head tracking on
here oh yeah
cool now let's see if that's this case on a different app if I go to YouTube
instead of Apple music well I still have that oh look at another crab song
well it's true special audio's on
up there it goes Autumn automatically pauses when you pull them out
I would say these are pretty comfortable they're pretty light
and they one of their talking points here is long lasting comfort so far no
reason to disbelieve that although you do Gotta Wear earphones for at least an
hour before you really know that in my experience just gonna test out the
different levels of that aggressive or not aggressive ANC
strong I'm basically living in a void right now
mild
it still works that's for sure I can't hear any of the fan noise from the
cameras or HVAC humming or anything like that the wind versus one here come
blowing my face okay I got ANC on mild right now I can hear the fan but less
strong you know what as I sit here with strong on I can hear
kind of little crackles or pops a little kind of like
frictiony sounds of wind I guess the wind's going through the
microphones now what happens when I go wnr
those disappear the fan noise of the engine is a little
louder because the ANC isn't as strong it's not cutting out bad as much but all
those little like close-ups are gone so that's pretty cool
what about adaptive What's it gonna do
uh it's not like wnr it's more like strong or mild okay cool they say that
the ANC I assume this applies to the strong setting can remove up to 42
decibels of loudness and finally how do
these work with you know being active well I can tell you that they feel
reasonably in my ears even though they don't feel like super
penetrative they're more like airpods pros than airpods and that you know
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
out here they still kind of feel a little shallow but nonetheless they feel
really in your ears and they have an ipx5 water resistance or Ingress
Protection rating which is pretty cool uh typically what you see typically is
the ipx4 which is just like splashes and stuff this takes to the next level so
that's great to see I wouldn't go swimming in them though so thanks for watching guys if you are interested in
the one more arrows you can get 20 off on their site or on Amazon so check it
out at the link below I have such wet earwax man
