1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280
Honestly, I've always wanted to see my internal organs.

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:07,360
It would be like really sick to have like a little transparent panel right here.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:16,640
I don't know if I'm full of worms or not. This is the Edifier Cutie 35 and it has a really nice transparent panel on it.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,720
And I don't know if it's made of lies or made of worms. I kind of want to find out.

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,440
Let's see. Ooh, let's see what else we got in here.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,720
Accessories box thing too.

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,480
We've got a power cable. Cutie 35 is a Bluetooth speaker, but it's one that needs to be plugged in all the time.

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:43,040
It doesn't have an internal battery. So we'll get that in in a minute. Looks like we've got a little aux cord, which is always nice to see in current year.

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,800
We also have a USB A2A as this does support USB audio.

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Looks like we've got a little quick start guide as well, which is kind of nice.

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,800
Nothing on the back side. Manual, which we will immediately disregard.

12
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,400
And stickers. I haven't seen stickers in a long time.

13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,440
That's going to hurt to remove later. And cleaning cloth too, because I immediately see piano gloss black,

14
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,960
which is extremely disappointing, but whatever.

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,040
All right, here's our little thing. Comes in upside down already covered in dust.

16
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,080
I love it. Ooh, seems like we got the gloss black one.

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,520
Wow, this actually looks a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to.

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,520
On the back, it looks like we've got our base reflex ports, a little power switch, power input, aux cord,

19
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,680
and USB A for audio input.

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,480
On the side here, it looks like we've got another USB A and a USB-C.

21
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,560
And if I remember correctly, these are actually used to charge up to two devices simultaneously,

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,320
which is kind of cool. Speakers are a little bit smaller than I expected.

23
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:51,280
Need to see exposed speakers on the front. We've got a three inch and a one inch, and it's about 40 watts.

24
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:59,680
I like that they've used RMS as opposed to PMP. So we know that this thing is much more 40 watts than other things of this class.

25
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Main driver is about 25 watts. This side, we've got some physical knobs and things,

26
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,400
which is also really nice to see. I kind of hate the touch sensitive stuff.

27
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,160
It's kind of nice to just grab these and push buttons.

28
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,920
Nice little clicky power button there. The volume knob here seems to have some nice little detents in it too.

29
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,760
Then we have a light effect control because this guy is full of RGB.

30
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,920
It's not razor, right? Okay, good.

31
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,640
Feels quite hefty. Size is reasonable.

32
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,040
It's immediately covered in loads of fingerprints, which is not too bad.

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,360
Obviously, this isn't a portable speaker. I was expecting a handle or something on it,

34
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,360
but yeah, this is just a plug-in only, which is a little bit weird.

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,560
I thought from some of the pictures I saw that I would find the branding on a little bit cringe,

36
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,680
but it's not as overstated as I thought it would be.

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:58,480
It's done in a gray color rather than a bright white, which kind of says to me that it doesn't catch the light as much as I think a bright white would.

38
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:05,440
It's still weird. Charges at 35 watts, which is the most important thing to put on the entire side of the speaker.

39
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,880
I also thought that the tubes on the front would be a little bit more exciting.

40
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Also on the marketing material, they were showing off the base reflex ports coming from the top, which is weird.

41
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,760
So I don't quite understand how that's going to work.

42
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,120
I might have to do some surgery. I want to know what worms are in here. I guess all that's left to do is check out the RGB.

43
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,840
I've got the power plugged in now. The cord sticks out really far from the back.

44
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Not the most attractive thing I've ever seen, but at least the cord is really long, which is kind of nice.

45
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,360
Let's push the button and see what happens. Did anything happen?

46
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Oh, look at that. It's got some pretty cool lighting effects in that.

47
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Wow. Okay. So we've got what looks like reactive strips all along the side

48
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,200
and around the base of the speakers. That's neat. So we've got a display down here on the left,

49
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,920
and we've got a little clock there too. It looks like the clock seems to be flickering on the camera a bit.

50
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,840
If I shake the speaker, I can actually see that in real life. So it seems to be a pretty low refresh rate display.

51
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,480
We also have an app because it's current year. We've got the Edifier Connect app.

52
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,040
It's a new one for me. I haven't seen this one before. So let's see if we can pair with it.

53
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920
That was pretty simple. All right, let's see. We've got Bluetooth.

54
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Ooh, it'll play soothing sounds. The sounds I play at home are just incoherent screaming.

55
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Yeah, let's come back to that later. We've got music. We have game.

56
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,000
That makes sense. Maybe we have movie and we have do it yourself.

57
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,760
There's also a scroll thing. Okay, so we've got lighting adjustment.

58
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,800
That's kind of neat. It's on white right now.

59
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,840
We can do green or any other color.

60
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:45,680
We also have a few different settings for what we can do with the light. Shooting star.

61
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,360
Oh, that looks neat. So the dial on the side seems to adjust the brightness.

62
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,720
And then if we push it in, it should change the pattern. You can see it updating on the app live, which is kind of cool.

63
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,720
What does the more button do? Oh, it's got a light library.

64
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,640
It's nice that it shows you kind of what they do.

65
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,360
Spiral, water drop. That sounds kind of cool.

66
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Oh, it has to download it. That's cool. It'd be kind of neat if they had a designer for this.

67
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,720
But this is fine too.

68
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,760
It has less discrete LEDs than I think I would be happy with.

69
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,720
It's not very smooth. But like, are you buying this for the LED stuff

70
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
or like the fake tubes on the front that are done in silver plastic

71
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,000
that I can see the molding lines on? Who knows? You can add your own sound effects, which is kind of cool.

72
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,160
Widget. Add a widget. You can add a control widget to your homepage.

73
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,360
It's nice that iPhone includes those now. That's neat.

74
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Might as well play crab rave in Deezer because this does support lossless audio codecs.

75
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,880
LDAC, I believe it's called. I guess I should listen to a crab rave.

76
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,920
What's that on 14? Got a little bit of crackling and distortion at about 14,

77
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,080
which is some sort of percentage divided by 16.

78
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,080
We are getting a lot of air movement through the back here.

79
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,240
It's not super loud at maximum volume.

80
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,840
I expected a little bit more. The sound profile is weird.

81
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,120
It's like missing a weird scoop right between the bass and the mid.

82
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,920
All it kind of, it doesn't have a bass driver. All it really has is this little three inch and a one inch.

83
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,240
The sound feel is really weird. It's kind of like right here is the sweet spot almost.

84
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,320
But it's also kind of out here. I don't know. It sounds really weird.

85
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,800
I'm trying to find the frequency band where it's missing things.

86
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,320
I think it's around 500 Hertz. It makes it sound kind of weird and tinny and midi.

87
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,560
And that might be kind of the end of the speakers range for this size.

88
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,840
I don't know too much about the quality of speakers

89
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,200
and the sounds they're able to reproduce. Obviously they're nice and bassy.

90
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,280
They're moving a lot of air, which is great.

91
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:13,280
I don't really know. Okay. Well, that's one thing that I just noticed about it.

92
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:23,280
The cone of the, well, the reflex thing of the speaker extends over the edge of the retaining ring.

93
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,640
So I dropped it on its face and it really did not like that. I guess you're not supposed to hurt it at all.

94
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Yeah, but I mean, you need to knock it over.

95
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Let's have a listen to some Soul Wax remixes.

96
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,400
It sounds really good backwards. Like the bass is really punchy like back here.

97
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080
And then you turn it around and it sounds like ass. That's hilarious.

98
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,840
I don't know if that's a reflection thing, but you would think that, you know,

99
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,040
it's supposed to be a computer speaker. You put it, you put it on your desk like over here and, you know,

100
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,760
it's not maybe at ear level where you would to be doing monitoring.

101
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,800
That's not, it's not, it's not good. It sounds like a Bluetooth speaker.

102
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,560
I think there's a giant hole like the bass is punchy.

103
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,600
If you're weird or off axis or like having it up on the corner makes the bass a lot better.

104
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Having it on the table here isn't. I don't think it's necessarily anything to do with the table here.

105
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,800
If anything, the table would probably help as this is resonant.

106
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,080
It crackles at maximum volume. It crackles at like 13, 14.

107
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,440
The tweeter seems to have some maybe hiss in it. And I don't know if it's full of worms.

108
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Oh, there we go. Oh yeah. All right.

109
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Sure. It's all plastic in here, I guess.

110
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,760
I think it's attached from the backside too. I don't know if we're going to be able to actually get into this too much.

111
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,760
Oh yeah. I didn't talk about the feet. The feet are pretty nice. A really sticky rubber, which is kind of cool.

112
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Let's have a look at that. Oh, it comes with like tissue paper.

113
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,760
That's cool. Oh, wow. That's kind of, uh, oh god, it does not.

114
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,680
That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. Everything's fine. That's a big driver.

115
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,120
Like that has a lot of throw to it, which is kind of nice.

116
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Somebody has faucet. In the speaker.

117
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,480
That's rude. I'm sorry, guys. There you go. There's your tubes.

118
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320
You see the tubes? Yeah, they come in through the center.

119
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,160
They don't come out the top, obviously, but the front is definitely fake.

120
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,880
It seems to be made of some pretty, pretty nice plastic, honestly.

121
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:53,840
Build quality is absolutely fine. This speaker retails for 200 us bucks.

122
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,760
And I think you can get it on sale now for about 150.

123
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:02,720
The problem is that the kind of price bracket for this market is really,

124
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,600
really competitive around the $200 mark. I did an unboxing of a Sony Bluetooth speaker that was about 350 bucks.

125
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,360
And I think it's on sale now for about 200, but that's kind of doesn't mean anything.

126
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,320
And that performed way outside of its price class. This one, I think underperforms for its price class.

127
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:26,160
The build construction seems pretty good. The front polycarbonate, whatever this is, Plexiglas is reasonably strong.

128
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,400
I mean, it gets covered in fingerprints. The speakers are okay.

129
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160
The aesthetics are probably where you're going to be paying that money.

130
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,320
It doesn't have a battery. It can charge your phone. You can't do a stereo pair.

131
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,360
So you only have one of these. Might be better if it was a stereo pair.

132
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:48,960
If you're into the aesthetics, I think it would be cool. The problem is that the RGB and everything looks nice at a distance.

133
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:55,280
But being up close, I can see the imperfections in the molding of the silver back plate.

134
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,640
Now, shiny plastics are pretty difficult to do,

135
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,960
but I can see where some of the plastic has flowed. It looks like cheap plastic.

136
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,680
Disappointing, but I mean, it is a $200 speaker,

137
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920
which sounds maybe more like a $40 speaker.

138
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Sorry, it's just, it's okay.

139
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,560
Didn't even have worms in it. Thanks for watching. If you want to have a look at an actually good Bluetooth speaker,

140
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,160
check out this unboxing that I did for the Sony one. And don't forget to subscribe.

141
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Please, for worms, worms, worms, worms, worms.
