00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,199
So, Lionus is away for a while and while he was gone, he wanted us to do a video

4
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:22,640
about the spring clip. He wanted to do an unboxing. And while this won't be a

5
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:28,080
traditional unboxing because to be honest, I've lost the box. Um, and in

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,000
addition to not having the box, we decided to test them as well. So,

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,920
essentially the spring clip is an add-on to your Apple ear pod, which helps it

8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,040
sit inside your ear without moving. So, it just goes in your ear right like

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,840
that. And then, basically, while you're out and about, it won't really jostle

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,120
around in your ear at all, and it'll keep its position much better. So, what

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,640
we decided to do with them to see if their claims were true was actually

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,280
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

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,879
hill. And then I'm going to get tackled really, really hard by my roommate. In

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,239
this benchmark of sorts, we're going to have three different contestants. The

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,960
first is going to be a random generic pair of earbuds. The second will be

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,159
Apple's EarPod by themsself, and the third will be Apple's EarPod with the

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,520
spring clip. For the running test, the results were a little bit expected. So,

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,799
the black ones jostled a little bit, and if I ran for much longer, would have

19
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,600
came completely out. I have this problem fairly regularly. It's one of the reasons why I don't like earbuds. Uh,

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,560
the Apple EarPods stayed in fairly well, but did move a little bit. And the

21
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:26,159
EarPods with spring didn't really seem to move at all. Now, the rolling test,

22
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:29,520
while maybe not realistic, some people might be rolling down hills all the

23
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,040
time. The random generic black inears completely failed and were both out of

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,680
my ear by the end of the test. The Apple ear pods had moved a lot, but were both

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,360
still in my ears for sure. And the Apple ear pods with spring moved a very small

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,400
amount and were still definitely in my ears. The tackle test surprised me a

27
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,119
little bit. I expected pretty much everything to fail this. And I expected

28
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:52,320
the spring to maybe make it and but probably still fail. And that wasn't the

29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,000
result at all. They actually all stayed in my ear, including the generic ones.

30
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,119
They just moved quite a bit. The generic ones were barely still in my ear and

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,840
would have fallen out. They actually one of them fell out as I stood up. Um the

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,360
ear pods moved a lot but stayed in my ear and the spring moved a little bit

33
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:10,879
but still did stay in my ear. Now, our testing wasn't exactly scientific, but I

34
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,080
wanted to show you guys some sort of tangible result, and I hope my comments after each test helped you have an

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,800
informed decision on buying these products. Now, it's it's not necessarily

36
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:23,599
for me. I'm not going to use ear. I don't have earpods, but if I did have

37
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,800
earpods, I wouldn't be using them that much, so it wouldn't be something I'd

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,720
necessarily be that interested in. But, if you're going to use them all the time and it's something you're interested in,

39
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,239
that's great. If you like the video, like it. If you dislike the video, dislike it. That's no problem. And

40
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,760
please comment on the video what other products you'd like us to do these kind
