I’ve owned the kokoon earbuds before they merged with Philips and I think they’re fantastic. But I’ve never been asked for credit card details or sign up for a subscription for anything. They work just like normal headphones. They have an accompanying app that you don’t need to pay for. It’s frustrating that these UA-camrs can make a throwaway comment and could potentially kill a product because they don’t get their facts right or don’t elaborate more. If there are any users out there that have purchased these since the Philips take over, then I’m happy to be put right!
I'm thinking of boxing a a whole bunch of my old tech junk, labeling it "Mystery Tech" and sending it to Austin....for the low price of $200.00 plus shipping.

nerve endings are roughly equal no matter the size, due to how nards are made. Therefor, the less an equal hit hurts, hypothetically, the bigger the nards. Now if i could just get proper grant funding i could be the first person ever who kicks people in the genitals "for science!"
been using eargasm for a while, absolute ear saver for festivals, raves, and metal shows/concerts. they even have higher NRR filters for even louder events like drag racing or sound system competitions.
I absolutely love that Matt was wearing a Donut hat. I love this channel but that satisfied something primal in my brain that I didn't know was there. Lol.
Eargasm ear plugs are pretty good actually . Had an old set called the slides that allowed for adjustable attenuation -15db and -27db worked good for concerts after 2 years of using them for concerts and work (work around loud air and high voltage equipment ) they broke and could only get the -15 dB mode to work
My later 2019 M1 MBP was around $3k+ with accessories. I'm a PC guy but needed a powerful mobile Mac os platform. It still slams whatever I throw at it. 17" mobile display, multiple apps, vids tabs etc running great concurrently. It does got hot so I have it on an angled stand. But I'm pretty happy with it. Also I crashed on an E-Longboard with it in a shoulder bag. It flung around my shoulder over my head. Hit the pavement. Corner dented pretty deep. No other issues. 😂👌🏾🤘🏾
$3300 for a thicker Surface and a RTX 4060 is such a big asking price. And the swivel screen can't really justify it too; if you're a person who does use a laptop for some level of gaming performance, you'd probably go for the Lenovo that was discussed. If you're someone who would probably like to use a swiveling screen for meetings, you'd probably just go for a tablet or a regular Surface laptop. I'd say maybe 2 grand for the Studio would be a fair price but even then, that kind of market is very small.
you do not understand how excited I was to see you got one of those tiny arcade things I have a couple of those and they rock now are they the most useable No but they are so fun to have on a shelf
14:08 looking forward to buying the VAIO SVF15N / VAIO FIT/FLIP successor. Mine just died a few months ago. I don't get why no tech reviewers reviewing the Surface Laptop 2 doesn't talk about Sony's attempt at this form factor. God I love my SVF15N
Because the hardware in it is like a $1200 laptop, and they want $3300. Its literally a mac book price, and we've all known forever macs are a scam.....
instead of comparing the surface to the yoga slim 7, you compared it to the legion which is a totally different kind of laptop. also the yoga slim doesn't come with a 4060 option.
What the headphones should do is do the $35/year but give people who buy the $250 headphones a code to get a “premium account” and never have to pay or pay a heavily discounted price like $10/year
If you're into gaming then skip the Surface Laptop 2 and get yourself an Asus G14 with Ryzen 9 & RTX 4060. They have been on a sale a few times lately around $1350. If you spend a little extra, then get a 2TB ssd and swap out with 512GB.
"Its less than half the price" while mentioning 7th gen intel xD that CPU is ancient... That is why... Its all junk parts paired with modern GPU to fool people into buying it... I got a 13th gen intel, 32GB of RAM, RTX 4060Ti, 144Hz QHD monitor with HDR support and RGB keyboard with RED Switches and I paid 900 bucks xD...
How durable are the Philips Sleep Headphones? For $250 they need to last for 3-4 years without breaking, and that's a challenger for something that you put more than 10 lbs of weight on part of. for 8 hours.
Austin's reactions are priceless, and you can't help but laugh and be amazed at the quirky and fascinating gadgets he discovers. Buckle up for a tech adventure like no other!
I really enjoy the show, the format and the various ways you cover tech. It's accessible, easy and fun to watch but can anyone explain just what Ken does? I mean he barely talks and seems to sit on the couch and smile a lot?
The "Musicozy" sleep masks are weird. The box you have for them, I have several of the same box... all from different "companies". These are all made in the same place, using the same packaging, with sometimes different words/logos on the mask itself. They've been good to me (even though their durability is questionable, some I got to survive over a year, some just a few months), but I never bought the same one twice even though I get the same product (with some improvements sometimes. In fact, "musicozy" is one of the names I have not seen myself.
Those headphones are ridiculous, I already have to pay $250 for the headphones then a $35 subscription fee? Sleep is absolutely important but probably not for that much.
Those earplugs are great for motorcycle riding, but I don’t like the idea of putting something in my ear that I’ll likely drop. I’ll stick to my bulk pack of 3M foamies
$3k plus for any laptop is insane. 2k for a laptop with an IPGU 512gb ssd 😂 its probably cheaper for Microsoft to use that form factor now too than a regular laptop, less material, but they out here charging a premium like its an industry first.
$35 a year after paying $250 is gross
Cough cough ps plus/Xbox live

MUSIC TO MY EARS.
I can not stop laughing! He called it dongle dingles! Mat said you can to call it dongle dingles!
The real mystery tech is, what phone is blurred out in Ken's hand?
Probably something under embargo.
In my idea, it's gonna be between ONE Plus Foldable or OPPO newest foldable.
I was thinking the same
i'm glad someone else said this too
I have a feeling its the OnePlus Open
My issue with earplugs is I cam hear myself breathing and swallowing and I annoy myself😂

Mystery tech is nothing without Austin.
Real
Without Austin shouting to talk *
Correction, Mystery Tech is nothing without the official Pirates of the Caribbean DVD player with included compass style remote control
It's like ww2 without silly old Adolf, we'd miss him
And his friends
“And they call it wasting Austin’s Money Segment” 😂😂
Ken's face from the video that austin paused it at was hilarious 😂😂

RuPaul could indeed be quite loud
@@daviddenoncourt757 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The name is sus tho
It's gonna be a very moist ear by the end of it.
That pause screen of Ken was hilarious 🤣
The pirates of the Caribbean dvd player thing is crazy to see again, I had that when I was 6 years olds now i’m 21 that’s insane
The real Mystery Tech is Ken’s blurred phone
i wonder what it is cause clearly it's unannounced or some shit
Bruh it's the Pixel 8/Pro, I think they did it because maybe this video was scheduled to be released (or was edited) before the presentation
@@Iinuxct good call forgot that was recently announced
5:53 i bet any "Austin Evans without context" video wouldn't be complete without this clip LMAO
At 1:34, his Ding-a-Ling got Ring-a-Linged!! 🔔
I absolutely love that Matt was wearing a Donut hat. I love this channel but that satisfied something primal in my brain that I didn't know was there. Lol.
That tungsten cube will be Matt's rep sheet till the end of time lol.
i love these mystery tech videos so much get so excited when I see them pop up!
i took a shot every time Austin said "What not". I almost died

9:20 "What would be appropriate to watch on a Pirates of the Caribbean DVD player?"
Me:DUH! A pirated copy of Pirates Of The Caribbean
Those Phillips earphones looks like fallopian tubes 🤣🤘🏾
Actually have music cozies. They're pretty good. Gotten for family as a Christmas gift few years ago.
They brought back throwing packages at Austin, Yay. It adds another level of fun , perhaps the others can work on their aim. 🙂
Why was Ken's phone blurred?
I'll bet it's a review unit, likely a Pixel 8 or something else about to be released.
@@Gravage Ah, makes sense.
02:00
That was beautiful. I finally understand meditation.
what new phone was ken using? i saw it was blurred.
could be a oneplus open/fold 🤷♂

Its a $1200 laptop.... sold for triple......

Those sleep headaches would have to be the best in the world for me to pay $35 a year for an app
The headphones themselves are amazing for sidesleepers like me, super comfortable. The app is garbage though. I just use a third party app instead.

Ken rocking the Yuki hat. Hopefully next year's Alpha Tauri isn't a tractor and we can see what Yuki can do in a decent car.
Kenneth's sweater at the start of the video is phenomenal!
Ken with the retirement-home fit.

You guys should do a show and tell mystery tech. Basically, ur team brings in something they think u will blow ur mind.
They kind of did one last year for Austin's birthday episode I believe, it was pretty fun!
@@ScottWallace5 haha oh dang. Am late.

A pirates of the Caribbean and disney tv only mean one thing. Scarface movie night with the boys
Those are great for instrument players. I highly recommend them for anyone that plays at home to protect your hearing. 5:49
No, piss off.
What's the song by the way??
I agree with Matt, they should definitely hit up cracker barrel
8:33 Omg I had a pirates of the Caribbean tv that came with the same remote
The real mystery here is why is kens phone blurred???
S24 or S24 Ultra probably

Hi Austin gotta say ur videos are fun to watch so keep it up ❤
Awesome video but why was the phone censored at the end? Testing an unreleased phone or something??
I use heavy metal to fall asleep peacefully.
and nobody notices the new channel icon? finally after like 5 years or smth like that LOL
