today I'm at the aine center mall and I'm going to be
0:04
unboxing the peerbuds so these are a
0:07
pretty unique set of earbuds that
0:10
feature reverse sound technology and
0:13
reverse sound technology sounded pretty stupid to me at first because I was like
0:18
well is it kind of like when you look at a picture and they invert the colors and
0:23
it just doesn't sound right or what so no what reverse sound technology means
0:28
is that instead of blasting the sound or
0:32
music or movie or whatever the case may be directly into your ear canal it
0:40
actually um projects the sound out away from your ears so that it doesn't feel
0:46
as uh as sharp and potentially painful so it should be a more comfortable
0:51
listening experience and also reduce the risk of uh ear damage so there you go
0:57
here we have a couple pieces of documentation that are included one of
1:01
them is a limited warranty for a period of 1 year thank you very much okay next
1:05
we have thank you for buying these um you no longer have to choose between
1:09
amazing sound and safe volume have come with three different
1:12
earbud tips okay so one is more oriented
1:16
for surround sound so I don't know how well that works but obviously we'll have
1:20
to uh give it a try to find out but basically what that would be attempting
1:24
to do is um make the sound come from outside
1:29
your ear as much as possible okay so we have base boost uh brings you the
1:34
thumping base you normally only get by strapping a subwoofer to the side of
1:37
your head okay full range and this would be sort of your allaround allaround guy
1:43
so brought to you by amazing Tech Products Inc okay all right let's have a
1:47
look at the pure buds themselves come in a little protective
1:52
case has some kind of residue on it but
1:56
it's probably all good okay comes with
1:59
all of the uh the tips that it did mention so here's the surround tip so
2:05
you can see there's a pass through hole right in the middle because the sound
2:08
does get projected away from your ear so basically what that one's doing is it's
2:12
just creating um like a buffer between the
2:17
speaker and the noise coming into your ear from all around
2:22
interesting so here we have the white
2:25
corded peer buds
2:30
all right the earbuds themselves come in a little plastic
2:34
thing so here you go so the speaker
2:38
actually fires supposedly this way you know what let me cheat I'm going to
2:42
check out my little PDF where it has all the details about it I can show you okay
2:47
so okay get base boost frequently ask questions why are they so Innovative
2:52
yeah reverse sound technology leads to unique and safer way to enjoy audio
2:55
additionally blah blah blah okay what is reverse sound technology yeah okay so
3:00
here here's a little blown up
3:03
diagram of the peerbuds
3:06
themselves so here you go the main body
3:09
so the speaker is actually on this side covered by a cover then there's a
3:14
protector and a rubber ring all right so
3:18
the speaker fires that way okay so
3:21
that's reverse sound technology I just wanted to make sure that I was
3:24
describing that as well as I possibly could I think that's pretty much it Okay
3:28
so we've got uh impedance is uh 16 16 ohms plus orus 15% in case
3:35
anyone cares about that and the rated input power is 2
3:40
m okay so now let's have a look at what
3:45
they look like when they're installed so they look like this they don't really
3:50
isolate any sound and I wouldn't I wouldn't really expect them to if the
3:54
way that they work is that they fire the sound out away from your ears and then
3:58
um expect you to still be able to hear anything so let's see what we got
4:05
here sounds kind of like earbuds to me so far but thank you for checking out my
