Click now to learn more about it. So, Lionus is away for a while and while he was gone, he wanted us to do a video about the spring clip. He wanted to do an unboxing. And while this won't be a traditional unboxing because to be honest, I've lost the box. Um, and in addition to not having the box, we decided to test them as well. So, essentially the spring clip is an add-on to your Apple ear pod, which helps it sit inside your ear without moving. So, it just goes in your ear right like that. And then, basically, while you're out and about, it won't really jostle around in your ear at all, and it'll keep its position much better. So, what we decided to do with them to see if their claims were true was actually benchmark them in a sense. So, what we're going to do is I'm going to go for a run. Then, I'm going to roll down a hill. And then I'm going to get tackled really, really hard by my roommate. In this benchmark of sorts, we're going to have three different contestants. The first is going to be a random generic pair of earbuds. The second will be Apple's EarPod by themsself, and the third will be Apple's EarPod with the spring clip. For the running test, the results were a little bit expected. So, the black ones jostled a little bit, and if I ran for much longer, would have came completely out. I have this problem fairly regularly. It's one of the reasons why I don't like earbuds. Uh, the Apple EarPods stayed in fairly well, but did move a little bit. And the EarPods with spring didn't really seem to move at all. Now, the rolling test, while maybe not realistic, some people might be rolling down hills all the time. The random generic black inears completely failed and were both out of my ear by the end of the test. The Apple ear pods had moved a lot, but were both still in my ears for sure. And the Apple ear pods with spring moved a very small amount and were still definitely in my ears. The tackle test surprised me a little bit. I expected pretty much everything to fail this. And I expected the spring to maybe make it and but probably still fail. And that wasn't the result at all. They actually all stayed in my ear, including the generic ones. They just moved quite a bit. The generic ones were barely still in my ear and would have fallen out. They actually one of them fell out as I stood up. Um the ear pods moved a lot but stayed in my ear and the spring moved a little bit but still did stay in my ear. Now, our testing wasn't exactly scientific, but I wanted to show you guys some sort of tangible result, and I hope my comments after each test helped you have an informed decision on buying these products. Now, it's it's not necessarily for me. I'm not going to use ear. I don't have earpods, but if I did have earpods, I wouldn't be using them that much, so it wouldn't be something I'd necessarily be that interested in. But, if you're going to use them all the time and it's something you're interested in, that's great. If you like the video, like it. If you dislike the video, dislike it. That's no problem.
