WEBVTT 00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:09.280 it's been six long years since we've seen a revision of the Power Beats 00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:13.080 pros and in those six years A lot has happened and competition has gotten 00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.160 pretty fierce especially for workout focused buds you've seen like the rise 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:20.640 of a lot of different companies making more hook style earbuds that also offer 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:25.279 like an open Vibe as well as just a lot of better headphones right you get stuff 00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:29.320 like find my integration and uh better noise cancelling all of these things can 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:34.960 be found on buds that are cheaper than the Power Beats Pros thankfully they 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.680 finally made an update to the pros in 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.879 the form of the pros too but they still come in an absolutely chunking case like 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:47.440 it's it's it's huge let's see what else you get in the Box Inside the Box we get 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:52.359 uh some documentation I do like how they actually give you a little bit of a home 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:54.440 for your ear tips here however it would 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.480 be nice to just have like a little bag no why do I need to keep the Box what if 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.440 I don't want to keep the box you can sell it later what do you think comment 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.439 down below and tell us do you do you keep the box so that you can sell your 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:09.200 earbuds or would you like a tiny bag I'm a tiny Bag Man myself the main features 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.400 that they're touting is that they are true wireless earbuds with a USBC 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:17.799 charging case that's great to see um active noise cancelling and transparency 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:22.640 mode cool up to 45 hours of battery life that's 10 on the earbuds and 35 in the 00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:26.320 case which for a case this size seems kind of low I feel like you can get a 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.079 lot of battery life from Far smaller cases like just to give you some 00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:36.720 perspective these are airpods Pro 2 and it's not even close it's just a bit 00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:39.560 too shy of being pocketable but a big 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:43.799 reason why it's so big is because they got a hook style look at that and it's a 00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:46.439 pretty well-matched orange like uh it's almost impossible to tell the difference 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.799 between the different types of plastic on here like this the ear hooks are like 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.719 a silicone type uh material it's not 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.759 quite as soft rubber as I felt on a lot of other brands like it's not as soft as 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:03.479 say the ear tips you can almost barely tell that there's actually like a slight 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.520 seam pretty slick and I got a B which stands for Dre before we take a tour of 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:12.160 the earbuds themselves we're just going to take another look at the case there is a button for pairing other than that 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:16.080 the case doesn't feature anything like a speaker which is kind of a bummer one of 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.440 my favorite features of the airpods case is that ability to uh use find my and 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.160 have them like chirp so you can find the case cuz it's really easy for these things to get separated you put your 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.920 case down you have these in your ears you go into a different room you've lost 00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:31.920 your case so these could be easier to lose than you'd expect it's just a nice 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:38.400 feature that I would have hoped for on a kind of Premium focus a pro level set of 00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:41.640 uh earbuds you know on the earbuds themselves these are nanoid hooks so 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.159 they're a classic kind of spring type of hook we also have a rocker here this is 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:51.080 really cool having rockers on each side I love it I love it now you might be 00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:57.080 wondering what is this stuff that's going on down here well these are 00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.159 actually heart rate monitors yes these have heart rate detection in them the 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:06.319 nice thing about having heart rate tracking on your earbuds is that some health trackers like wrist watches or 00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:11.680 even smart rings can be a nuisance in certain forms of physical activity like weightlifting you can't have a ring on 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.760 because you could injure your hand and wrist watches can just get in the way 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:20.799 these will provide you another option to get heart rate tracking there's also the typical uh presence detection it's very 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.640 much like the ones on the airpods pros which means that these actually have 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.319 Optical presence detection system so unlike say just an IR system where if 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.560 you just cover it it goes oh I'm in an ear it could start playing your music if 00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:35.439 you have it like in a bag or on a table and waste battery life this will 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.879 actually go to sleep unless it sees your skin you can see that it has these U 00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:44.959 metal Pogo pins as opposed to just doing a fully wireless charging system people 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:51.400 have reported that that has caused failures whether that is Chargers short 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.920 circuiting or otherwise hey that should 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.040 be a YouTube channel I can't comment if they fixed that nor can I comment if 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:03.319 that how widespread that problem was but it's something to note let's put them in 00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:06.200 in see how they fit okay first off 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:11.640 already uh one problem already identified this button is really easy to 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.720 press this is button right here and if you're going to be putting these into 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:19.040 your ears you might accidentally start playing them and that's kind of a that's 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.800 kind of annoying because of they have the Apple's H2 chip they are able to 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.880 take advantage of some of the improved 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.199 noise cancelling on I guess it's it's not even new anymore it's the same chip 00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:35.120 that's found in the airpods Pro too and so you get the benefits of the improved 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:40.240 noise cancellation from that as well as you get the nice easy pairing and quick 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:44.199 response with iOS devices with any sort of um hook based earbud I always 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.440 recommend that you just kind of have to try them everyone's ears are different I 00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:54.160 find that they very rarely bother me these are a pretty gentle um like 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:57.840 squeeze there's not it doesn't really squeeze my ears at all if you had 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.360 somebody who had like thicker ears it might be a little bit less comfortable I 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:07.720 find these to be quite nice and it seems 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.880 like they stay in pretty well one thing 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:12.880 I want to know is how well they kind of stay in if I'm moving my jar tensing 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.880 because when you're lifting heavy you kind of do all sorts of weird stuff with your face 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.199 like yeah they that's good another thing to note is that these hooks can be 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:32.919 really really annoying for glasses users so I'm going to get our producer uh and 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:37.639 good friend Jake bellance coworker you exercise I've been known to exercise I 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.919 actually have airpod Pros twos and I had to buy third party little hooks because 00:05:40.039 --> 00:05:44.919 they always fall out my ears like when I'm on the treadmill or if I'm talking 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.680 and it's really annoying to carry around this like little baggie that has hooks 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:53.240 just for when I work out so I'm actually keep the Box well they didn't come in a 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:57.280 box they came in a little bag oh that's that came a little comp yeah they go on 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.520 my uh on my keychain yeah that fits and sounds 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.840 pretty good and I feel like I'm getting some of the um like noise cancellation 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:12.240 or pass through oh this sounds like a word from our 00:06:08.599 --> 00:06:14.960 sponsor incog if you're tired of spam 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:19.280 calls and texts and emails incog can help they comb through a huge list of 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:24.039 data Brokers that might be holding your private information hostage and request 00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:27.880 for it to be removed simply set it up through their intuitive dashboard and 00:06:25.599 --> 00:06:32.560 incog will send you regular reports of the data that they've removed on your 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:35.759 behalf half head over to 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.400 incognitomode shortcircuit to get 60% 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:43.199 off today listening Impressions they sound pretty good if you're somebody who 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:46.360 wants bass hey look at that beats is a place to get it but it's not like kind 00:06:44.599 --> 00:06:51.400 of overbearing like it used to be I think that beats for the past few years 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:56.599 have had quite a good sound profile on all of their uh lineup it's nothing like 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.039 you know it's not refined or calculated or clinical or anything like that but it 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.720 makes music sound good there's a weird almost like tinniness or graininess or 00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:10.560 something there's like just some part of the treble is a kind of too spikes quite 00:07:08.039 --> 00:07:14.160 high for me and I find it very cheap sounding and is not pleasurable and I 00:07:12.520 --> 00:07:18.400 think can really come up in some sorts of distortion has a kind of a bad effect 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.720 on like a lot of acoustic guitar it's not awful and it's probably something 00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:26.639 that if I spent a little bit more time I would get used to um but I wouldn't say 00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:30.039 that these are by any means bad sounding headphones but maybe my ears are just 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:33.160 having an off day so let's take a look at the results that we got from 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.960 headphones.com who did the testing for us for this video I just want to read 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.360 part of this email that Andrew from headphones.com sent us about the testing 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.400 just like the airpods Pro 2 the Powerbeats Pro have a wear sensor that 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:50.159 needs to be engaged before being measured and when I say A wear sensor I mean a meat sensor unfortunately testing 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:55.919 rings are not made of human flesh so I had to spoof it by using a piece of ham 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:59.479 which did the trick I fully expect there to be data from other sources where the 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.639 meat sensor is not properly engaged engaged my meat sensor is always engaged 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:08.960 this is a frequency response chart for the Power Beats Pro 2 the dash line is 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:13.840 our headphone Target this is what we think will be a good sounding headphone 00:08:11.599 --> 00:08:17.759 for most people so the closer it is to the Target the more likely that you will 00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:21.199 enjoy the headphone that doesn't mean that it'll be perfect for everybody 00:08:19.159 --> 00:08:25.759 we're all built very different it's more like a a one- siiz fits most scenario 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:31.159 and looking at a chart in the base and subbase this matches our curve quite 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:33.360 well and I agree it's a a nice fun Bassy 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.479 sound that isn't super overpowering one thing that is pretty impressive is that 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.800 it doesn't really roll off at all even at the really really low end like the 20 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:46.440 HZ end once we move to the mids and upper mids I think that's where I 00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:49.480 noticed the weirdness in the sound when I was just kind of talking about my 00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:53.240 Impressions I kind of misplaced it I think I said it was in the 5 khz region 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.000 but this graph is indicating to me that it's coming more from what's happening 00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:02.079 in the mids you see there's a big kind of four or 5 D dip right around 650 HZ I 00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:06.880 think that might be where you're getting kind of that cheap sound because we're going to have this like lull where 00:09:05.079 --> 00:09:11.200 you've scooped out as a little section of the mids that kind of is where a lot 00:09:08.839 --> 00:09:15.600 of human voices and many instruments live overall though there's nothing 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:19.120 remotely catastrophic about this this is a I think this is a pretty good sounding 00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:23.680 headphone and most people will be quite happy with them now we're going to take 00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:26.640 a look at a and C results so with no noise cancelling on we can see that 00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:30.839 these attenuate noise that is they make it quieter pretty similarly to other in 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:34.480 your headphones where stuff in the higher ranges and the upper mids get 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:38.440 blocked out pretty naturally but as you go down to the lower end a lot of stuff 00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:42.279 still gets through this like kind of low mid area is exactly where ANC works the 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.200 best that's why it's great for stuff like engine noise and when we turn on 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:50.600 ANC does it does a really good job improving the attenuation of lower 00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:55.160 noises so the ANC is mostly working on everything below 1 khz everything above 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:59.040 1 khz is basically just going to be from the natural seal of having those 00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:03.240 headphones in your ears I think the ANC it's not the best it's I don't think 00:10:00.760 --> 00:10:08.200 it's as good as airpods Pros 2 or even Sony's best ANC but it's it's really 00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:13.800 good and compared to my daily drivers at my desk the falp these sound this way 00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:18.000 better ANC with very little audible hiss and uh it doesn't give that kind of 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.320 pressure feeling some types ofc can give where it feels like your your ears in 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:26.839 like a vacuum terms of audio quality and noise cancellation I think these do a 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.440 bang up job they're not incredible they're not terrible for the gym I would 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.959 actually think these would be pretty great but of course these don't just 00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:38.279 listen they also have microphones so we're going to do a quick little call 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:42.920 Quality test where I'm going to call the one and only Jake bellance producer of 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:49.959 ShortCircuit Jake says I sounded like I lived in a can I would you say it was 00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:51.839 below average no no just just fine yeah 00:10:49.959 --> 00:10:54.480 if you are an Android User you will need the app especially if you want to use 00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:00.440 the heart rate you need to download the app to connect with everything else if you're an Apple user it just uh it just 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.519 works I will say the app's a little disappointing you can turn off automatic 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:09.880 ear detection stuff like that you can select some controls you can decide 00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:13.880 which side of these will be which operation or they can be the same 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:19.120 operation but it's still a little Limited in terms of what you're allowed 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.480 to do so like these Rockers are only ever for volume it's a bit of a bummer 00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:28.200 to not get that kind of customization and further more it's a big bummer that 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:31.920 there's no EQ built into this um not even a simple one especially cuz you 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.519 know it would be nice to be able to fix the kind of one of the only problems I 00:11:34.079 --> 00:11:39.639 have with the Sound by just a quick little EQ fix where does that leave us 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:44.600 with the Power Beats Pro too I think that if you were a Power Beats Pro fan 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:50.160 this is going to hit all of the marks for you the case is smaller still huge 00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:54.040 uh but it's a similar form factor I think it's improved decent battery life 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.519 there's nothing about these that make me go no but you might want to go with 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:02.880 airpods Pros 2 they're the same price they're tried in true they're also a 00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:07.079 great set of truly wireless earbuds but you get better find my integration and 00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:11.120 you get the little like speaker on it to help find stuff if you are somebody who 00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:14.880 needs that kind of tight seal that great fit for physical activity I can see 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:19.279 these being a great pick but if you're somebody who's not that into the 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.440 exercise side of stuff I'd say there's a lot of other places to look especially 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.959 at the $250 price range that's where a lot of great wireless earbuds live 00:12:23.880 --> 00:12:29.519 thanks for watching if you like this video I why don't you check out the video where I checked out the Beats 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:32.959 Studio buds plus oh man they should have done the clear plastic oh I would have 00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:39.720 loved if these had the transparent plastic that would have been so cool that would have been so cool orange is 00:12:35.880 --> 00:12:39.720 good though oh oh
