WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.280 Honestly, I've always wanted to see my internal organs. 00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:07.360 It would be like really sick to have like a little transparent panel right here. 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. 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. 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.440 Let's see. Ooh, let's see what else we got in here. 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.720 Accessories box thing too. 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. 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. 00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:46.800 We also have a USB A2A as this does support USB audio. 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. 00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:54.800 Nothing on the back side. Manual, which we will immediately disregard. 00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:58.400 And stickers. I haven't seen stickers in a long time. 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, 00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.960 which is extremely disappointing, but whatever. 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.040 All right, here's our little thing. Comes in upside down already covered in dust. 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.080 I love it. Ooh, seems like we got the gloss black one. 00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:21.520 Wow, this actually looks a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to. 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, 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:31.680 and USB A for audio input. 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. 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.560 And if I remember correctly, these are actually used to charge up to two devices simultaneously, 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.320 which is kind of cool. Speakers are a little bit smaller than I expected. 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. 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. 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.640 Main driver is about 25 watts. This side, we've got some physical knobs and things, 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.400 which is also really nice to see. I kind of hate the touch sensitive stuff. 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.160 It's kind of nice to just grab these and push buttons. 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. 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:21.760 Then we have a light effect control because this guy is full of RGB. 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.920 It's not razor, right? Okay, good. 00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:28.640 Feels quite hefty. Size is reasonable. 00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:33.040 It's immediately covered in loads of fingerprints, which is not too bad. 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:37.360 Obviously, this isn't a portable speaker. I was expecting a handle or something on it, 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.360 but yeah, this is just a plug-in only, which is a little bit weird. 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, 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.680 but it's not as overstated as I thought it would be. 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. 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. 00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:08.880 I also thought that the tubes on the front would be a little bit more exciting. 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. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.760 So I don't quite understand how that's going to work. 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. 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. 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. 00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:37.360 Let's push the button and see what happens. Did anything happen? 00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:41.360 Oh, look at that. It's got some pretty cool lighting effects in that. 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.640 Wow. Okay. So we've got what looks like reactive strips all along the side 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, 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.920 That was pretty simple. All right, let's see. We've got Bluetooth. 00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:19.680 Ooh, it'll play soothing sounds. The sounds I play at home are just incoherent screaming. 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.240 Yeah, let's come back to that later. We've got music. We have game. 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.000 That makes sense. Maybe we have movie and we have do it yourself. 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.760 There's also a scroll thing. Okay, so we've got lighting adjustment. 00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:36.800 That's kind of neat. It's on white right now. 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.840 We can do green or any other color. 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. 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.360 Oh, that looks neat. So the dial on the side seems to adjust the brightness. 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. 00:04:55.440 --> 00:04:58.720 What does the more button do? Oh, it's got a light library. 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.640 It's nice that it shows you kind of what they do. 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:05.360 Spiral, water drop. That sounds kind of cool. 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. 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.720 But this is fine too. 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.760 It has less discrete LEDs than I think I would be happy with. 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.720 It's not very smooth. But like, are you buying this for the LED stuff 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.840 or like the fake tubes on the front that are done in silver plastic 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. 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:36.160 Widget. Add a widget. You can add a control widget to your homepage. 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.360 It's nice that iPhone includes those now. That's neat. 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.880 Might as well play crab rave in Deezer because this does support lossless audio codecs. 00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:48.880 LDAC, I believe it's called. I guess I should listen to a crab rave. 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.920 What's that on 14? Got a little bit of crackling and distortion at about 14, 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.080 which is some sort of percentage divided by 16. 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.080 We are getting a lot of air movement through the back here. 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:12.240 It's not super loud at maximum volume. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.840 I expected a little bit more. The sound profile is weird. 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:21.120 It's like missing a weird scoop right between the bass and the mid. 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. 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. 00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:36.320 But it's also kind of out here. I don't know. It sounds really weird. 00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:40.800 I'm trying to find the frequency band where it's missing things. 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. 00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:58.560 And that might be kind of the end of the speakers range for this size. 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.840 I don't know too much about the quality of speakers 00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:05.200 and the sounds they're able to reproduce. Obviously they're nice and bassy. 00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:07.280 They're moving a lot of air, which is great. 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. 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. 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. 00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:33.120 Yeah, but I mean, you need to knock it over. 00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:38.320 Let's have a listen to some Soul Wax remixes. 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:54.400 It sounds really good backwards. Like the bass is really punchy like back here. 00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:58.080 And then you turn it around and it sounds like ass. That's hilarious. 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, 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, 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.760 it's not maybe at ear level where you would to be doing monitoring. 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.800 That's not, it's not, it's not good. It sounds like a Bluetooth speaker. 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.560 I think there's a giant hole like the bass is punchy. 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. 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. 00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:36.800 If anything, the table would probably help as this is resonant. 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:40.080 It crackles at maximum volume. It crackles at like 13, 14. 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. 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.640 Oh, there we go. Oh yeah. All right. 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.000 Sure. It's all plastic in here, I guess. 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. 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. 00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:09.600 Let's have a look at that. Oh, it comes with like tissue paper. 00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:15.760 That's cool. Oh, wow. That's kind of, uh, oh god, it does not. 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. 00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:25.120 Like that has a lot of throw to it, which is kind of nice. 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.160 Somebody has faucet. In the speaker. 00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:32.480 That's rude. I'm sorry, guys. There you go. There's your tubes. 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.320 You see the tubes? Yeah, they come in through the center. 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:42.160 They don't come out the top, obviously, but the front is definitely fake. 00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:46.880 It seems to be made of some pretty, pretty nice plastic, honestly. 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:53.840 Build quality is absolutely fine. This speaker retails for 200 us bucks. 00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:57.760 And I think you can get it on sale now for about 150. 00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:02.720 The problem is that the kind of price bracket for this market is really, 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. 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. 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. 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:26.160 The build construction seems pretty good. The front polycarbonate, whatever this is, Plexiglas is reasonably strong. 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:30.400 I mean, it gets covered in fingerprints. The speakers are okay. 00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:34.160 The aesthetics are probably where you're going to be paying that money. 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. 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.360 So you only have one of these. Might be better if it was a stereo pair. 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. 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. 00:10:55.280 --> 00:10:58.640 Now, shiny plastics are pretty difficult to do, 00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:02.960 but I can see where some of the plastic has flowed. It looks like cheap plastic. 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.680 Disappointing, but I mean, it is a $200 speaker, 00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:09.920 which sounds maybe more like a $40 speaker. 00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:13.840 Sorry, it's just, it's okay. 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, 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. 00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:25.360 Please, for worms, worms, worms, worms, worms.
