- My marbles. I lost my marbles. Well, boys and girls
0:04
and everybody else is time to rock'n them beats.
0:08
Beats, Beats. Sorry. I'm already doing it. I'm looking at this camera.
0:11
I'm not supposed to be looking at this camera. I'm yeah, that happened last time.
0:15
Beats studio buds. You saw them literally everywhere
0:19
before you saw them here, including in Lebron James's ears.
0:23
I've looked in there many times but I've never seen anything is interesting.
0:27
Baby It's been a while since I took a look
0:31
at some beats buds, but this one is cool.
0:35
I mean, this one is affordable, apparently 149.99
0:39
Is that the idea? USD? So that place, is it not in the cheap?
0:44
Not in the budget category, but solidly I think in the kind of mid, mid, maybe upper
0:49
a little bit tier, because there are, you know
0:52
fully wireless buds out there that you can get for like 70, 80 bucks.
0:57
If you're looking for good ones if you're looking for like some just some cheap air pod replacements or whatever.
1:01
Yeah. There was like 50 and under on Amazon, but 149
1:06
for an apple product with active noise canceling pretty good
1:13
and spatial audio, which is very special.
1:18
I was trying to work. I wanted to work in a spacial and special pun
1:22
but it just, I, I, I screwed it up already.
1:25
Let's just, you know, let's stop with this and I'll open them up and we'll take a look.
1:29
All right, Gianna. I'm not even playing here. That wasn't a bit, how do you, oh, there's a
1:35
there's a thing you peel. Okay. What do we got here in the box?
1:41
Try it. Free music, complete your beats
1:44
with apple when you complete your beats. Wow. And even rhymes
1:48
they give you beat ideas right in the package. Initial pairing on Android.
1:52
Okay. So this is interesting. It's also something that I heard about the this beats was that it's going to be not
1:58
maybe not just as easy, but maybe similarly as easy to pair on Android, as it is on iPhone.
2:05
With most of these AirPods beats, apple audio products
2:09
you just kind of like bring it close to an iPhone or an iOS device.
2:12
And it'll be like I know what that is paired already before you even try.
2:18
But this one, I guess will be easier to pair with my pixel three.
2:23
Did they say that specifically? My phone. - (Jono) Oh, really it says that?
2:27
- No (Jono) Oh. - And we got not a wireless charging case USBC to
2:33
see no lightening this time. So I don't know what the last beats product
2:38
that I did not review came with but the power beats pro came with lightning.
2:43
- (Jono) Seriously? Yeah. I don't know where apple gets off thinking
2:47
that anyone wants a lightening cord in this day and age
2:54
- Fast fuel - Five minutes of charging gets you up to an hour.
2:57
Okay. And there are alternate ear tip sizes
3:01
remains to be seen, whether I'll need those. Okay. That's enough of this.
3:05
And then there's a sticker. And then this is the thing you use the blah, blah, blah.
3:08
Very cool. Wait, did this call out? John was, stay on track.
3:11
All right. I need you to keep focused. Ah, oh, it's a beats pill sort of wait
3:17
is that what the pill looks like is a pill but this reminds me of the B's pill.
3:20
Is it fair to say that this is like the magically similar? - (Jono) No.
3:24
Alright. I don't know what I'm talking about. Okay. Open her up.
3:28
Sunny, pretty lights. What do we got here?
3:32
Interesting. They look like little. What are the, what's the guy from Mario? Berto.
3:39
Ooh. That's the Berto sound enough of this. That's weird though.
3:42
That's kind of freaking me out every time I pick it up. I'm going to be like looking, are you my father?
3:49
No, let's put them in shall we.
3:54
There were some, I'm hearing some weird noises.
3:58
I wish you could hear this. It's like, wow.
4:01
Yeah. Honestly. It's like, wow, is it?
4:05
What is going on. Honestly. Oh, it's the active noise canceling.
4:15
Okay. So there's a tap controls. One tap is play and pause and answer calls and hang up.
4:21
Two taps is skip track. Three taps is reverse.
4:24
Skip and hold is the active noise cancellation.
4:28
Let's see. Okay. I just turned on, I guess.
4:32
Yeah, clap. Okay. Well, I can definitely hear the clap
4:36
but it's definitely not passing through the noise anymore.
4:42
Am I talking loud? I reviewed the AirPods pro back in the day and
4:53
Okay I'll turn this off again. Wait a second.
5:01
Okay. I figured it out. There are three levels.
5:07
There appears to be like past remote in which it lets audio through there's full, active noise
5:14
cancellation mode where it's like a hundred percent strength. And then there's
5:17
like a media mode where it lets a little bit through but not all of it. That's what I figured out.
5:21
Just now I was on the pass through mode when I put them in.
5:25
So let me, let me like set them to the same full mode
5:28
and see how I feel once I actually put them in my ears. No! sorry.
5:32
Apple slash Drake. Drake? - (Jono) No, Dre
5:35
Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Beats by Drake. I'm going to put them in.
5:39
Ready? 3, 2, 1.
5:43
That's pretty good. I feel like I'm back in the void
5:47
staring at the abyss of my own existence.
5:51
Um, I also noticed that it's not just a touch control.
5:54
It's like a physical button, like it clicks. So that's kind of cool.
5:58
I like having that tactile thing. Although you do have to like push in a little bit
6:01
which has never great for in years to have a control that that forces you to push it further into your canal.
6:07
Eight hours of listening time without ANSI or transparency mode turned on with those turned on
6:11
you'll get five hours of listening time and up to 15 hours combined with
6:15
in the case with, with all that, that's still pretty good. Like we said, five minutes of fast fuel charge
6:20
and gives up to an hour of playback. They're compatible with fine. My in iOS.
6:23
Oh, it's compatible with find my device on Android. Wow. That means we should do Android first.
6:29
I've been installing beats. Yeah. Yeah.
6:33
But before we get to the thing that I was just going to get to a second ago
6:37
I got to tell you, this video is sponsored by Ridge wallet. Ridge wallet is a compact wallet that keeps pant bulge down.
6:44
It's got RFID blocking plates to keep thieves from stealing your info.

7:03
John, what are we doing here? Oh, I guess I should put them back in the thing.
7:06
That's kind of annoying that they're magnetic.
7:09
They're magnetically sticking to the top of the case.
7:14
The magnets are all up in the place, but you know, magnets how do they work? You know?
7:18
Oh, it just showed up. I didn't even do anything. I have the app open
7:22
but I didn't like press start or anything. That's exactly like it. What it does on iOS.
7:27
That honestly makes me so happy. Not even regular wireless earbuds do that.
7:31
The only time that this has happened is between air paws and iOS devices.
7:35
And now apple has made a pair of wireless earbuds that have an apple feature.
7:42
It actually makes Android better. - (Jono) Sony does that. Sony does it too?
7:46
where you just open it and then it pops up. Okay, my bad, good job.
7:49
Sony crab rave on Spotify launching in 3, 2, 1 go,
7:57
wait, what mode do I want to be on? I want to be on, okay.
8:00
This is full. This is full auto active noise canceling.
8:04
Okay, wait, I said it wrong.
8:08
I said it wrong at the beginning. There is a mode in which it's just completely off.
8:12
And then there's a mode in which you got active noise canceling happening.
8:16
And then you have pass-through active noise canceling and pass through are powered.
8:19
They require more power. Whereas you can just turn it completely off and have a bit more battery life.
8:24
I don't know which is which wait it's got. This has gotta be a and C because I'm like
8:28
hearing feedback when I talk, oh that's actually not great
8:31
- (Jono) what about the app? - noise cancellation. Off.
8:34
Yell - (Jono) Papa! Papa! Papa!
8:39
- Oh, okay From that experiment it appears that with noise cancellation off
8:44
I hear less direct ambient noise.
8:48
But when you just yelled, I could hear you better
8:52
than when I turned noise cancellation on. So cancellation is better going.
8:56
It's going to be better at canceling out things that pop up on, you know, sudden noises.
9:02
But if you do want complete silence and you're already in a pretty silent environment
9:05
you might want to turn noise cancellation off. I don't know.
9:09
See for yourself. I'm just going to go right to the drop.
9:14
Woo!
9:19
Okay, so true to the beat stereotype. There is a heck of a lot of bass in here.
9:23
Do they have sound profiles? It looks like they don't have EEQ profiles.
9:29
And honestly that should just be standard in these sort of wireless ear, but apps.
9:33
So I'm a little disappointed to see it here to see its absence here
9:36
but maybe next time maybe they can always add it. Apple music.
9:40
Show me what you got.
9:46
I can, I can really hear the difference. There's way more depth in the apple music version.
9:53
Yeah. Yeah.
9:58
Oh yeah. Is there any way to be honest about how I feel inside?
10:05
- (Jono) You can tell me, Riley - I can feel it go up William emotion.
10:08
Yeah. That's a very, very noticeable difference. Still very bass heavy.
10:12
Maybe it was a bit more mid heavy but there was definitely like just more of it.
10:17
Maybe that's the special spatial experience. So spatial audio.
10:21
I'm not going to get the spatial audio experience on my Android anyways.
10:24
Okay. We're connected first crab rave. Yep. It's still got the very full interesting
10:32
so it will work better. I mean like, obviously there's a number of differences
10:35
between my pixel three and the iPad pro in terms of like the audio hardware on board.
10:40
But that's, that's of crazy to see that much of a difference.
10:45
Let's see how much of a difference there is when I use the fancy spatial audio link.
10:50
All right. Ready? Late at night by Roddy Rich. I don't think I like that one disclosure latch.
10:56
Oh, hell yeah, dude. I love that song. All right, here we go. The latch don't use this.
11:04
What am I supposed to take away from that? It sounded good.
11:07
This was like a little bit more clear. It was a little less muddled than how an apple music sounds on the Android.
11:14
So I don't know what conclusion to draw there. Other than if you are on Android
11:20
you probably don't have it a subscription to apple music. It, you might.
11:24
So if you have an Android device, these will be great.
11:27
I'm impressed with these overall 149 for active noise cancellation IPX
11:32
for water and sweat resistance. Lots of battery life.
11:36
Lossless audio support on, on apple devices. Anyways. There's a little bit worse
11:41
on an Android device, but still pretty good. I really liked that they have the automatic connection thing
11:45
and they added that pretty impressive. What do these look like?
11:49
I even see myself. Do they look cool?
11:52
- (Jono) Yeah. I like them all that.
11:57
- I like them a little bit I don't really love how they kind of like stick out from here like that.
12:01
I mean, whatever. I mean, honestly, if you care about what these things look
12:05
like in your ears, you got, you got bigger fish to fry, man.
12:08
You got other stuff to worry about in life. Screw the haters, block them
12:13
out with the active noise canceling.
12:16
This is a beats pill. I'd gladly swallow.
12:21
Well, I don't know about you but I would I say that's a ShortCircuit right there.
12:24
Do you want to see more unboxings and ramblings
12:27
on about things that unscripted tell you what those subscribed detect leaks?
12:31
We need some views.
12:34
See you later.
