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

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

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:28.080
traditional unboxing because to be honest, I've lost the box. Um, and in

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.000
addition to not having the box, we decided to test them as well. So,

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:35.920
essentially the spring clip is an add-on to your Apple ear pod, which helps it

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:39.040
sit inside your ear without moving. So, it just goes in your ear right like

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.840
that. And then, basically, while you're out and about, it won't really jostle

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:45.120
around in your ear at all, and it'll keep its position much better. So, what

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.640
we decided to do with them to see if their claims were true was actually

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

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.879
hill. And then I'm going to get tackled really, really hard by my roommate. In

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:00.239
this benchmark of sorts, we're going to have three different contestants. The

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.960
first is going to be a random generic pair of earbuds. The second will be

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.159
Apple's EarPod by themsself, and the third will be Apple's EarPod with the

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.520
spring clip. For the running test, the results were a little bit expected. So,

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.799
the black ones jostled a little bit, and if I ran for much longer, would have

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,

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.560
the Apple EarPods stayed in fairly well, but did move a little bit. And the

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.159
EarPods with spring didn't really seem to move at all. Now, the rolling test,

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:29.520
while maybe not realistic, some people might be rolling down hills all the

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.040
time. The random generic black inears completely failed and were both out of

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

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

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.400
amount and were still definitely in my ears. The tackle test surprised me a

00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:49.119
little bit. I expected pretty much everything to fail this. And I expected

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.320
the spring to maybe make it and but probably still fail. And that wasn't the

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.000
result at all. They actually all stayed in my ear, including the generic ones.

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.119
They just moved quite a bit. The generic ones were barely still in my ear and

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

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

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.879
but still did stay in my ear. Now, our testing wasn't exactly scientific, but I

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

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.800
informed decision on buying these products. Now, it's it's not necessarily

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

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

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,

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

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:39.760
please comment on the video what other products you'd like us to do these kind

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:53.290
of tests on. And make sure to subscribe.
