If they would sell just the earbuds by themselves at a cheaper price I would definitely consider it just for the effort you'd save trying to figure out which one is right or left. I'm in the dark a lot of the time because I work 3rd shift and it's such a pain trying to either feel which one is which or turn my flashlight on to see the hard to read indented plastic and it's entirely a nuisance.

These earbuds actually feel like the future of earbuds in terms of size, format and convenience. Love that you don't care which is left and which is right.
The watchbuds combo feels so perfect I would not be surprised to see this catch on in a more premium fashion. No need for an earbud case just use your watch. I'm def keepin' an eye on that tech.
I doubt it will ever seriously catch on. You already have a size and battery problem with smart watches in general. Adding the watch to be a headphone case and charge them as well just doesn't seem to ever be great. Unless we go full sci-fi arm band device, which I'm not completely against.

Honestly the Watchbuds are so cool. I hope the buds improve and maybe the unit as a whole gets a little smaller, but honestly I feel like pulling headphones out of your watch is going to make you feel like James Bond and that kinda makes up for the substandard audio quality. I'd definitely get one if they make an improved 2.0

Why? Everything here is bad. Not only the functionality, but each is purporting to solve a problem that, for the most part, does not exist. This is as underwhelming as technology gets.
The watchbud combo must be for the cases where you want to use your watch as your phone - I always felt like the loudspeaker is what stops me from using watch for a call - this solves it.
Setting low expectations and then exceeding them is my trick to success at work. I tell students I'll respond to emails within 48 hours. And then actually usually respond in less than three minutes. 😂
You should've told them you'd respond at least 24 hours later. If you say you'll respond within 48 hours but you respond in minutes, you're still technically not exceeding expectations since you replied within 48 hours.

The Watch Buds is a cool concept, specifically as a phone replacement. I pretty much always have my iPhone and AirPods and AppleWatch on me. I am moving toward just AppleWatchUltra w/cellular and AirPods and leaving the iPhone behind whenever possible. The idea of further pairing it down to a single device that is both watch and buds, is pretty compelling. Biggest thing you are missing is a Camera, but we went a LONG time without decent phone cameras, so maybe its okay to go without one sometimes.
Whoa, a smartwatch with built-in earphones? That's next-level innovation! Thanks for the detailed review, Marques. I love how this product combines two essential gadgets into one sleek and stylish design. It's perfect for people who are always on the go and want to stay connected without carrying multiple devices. Keep up the awesome tech reviews!

@@VaporSprite the tablets are pretty popular with parents of young kids. Good price and good parental controls. Pretty crappy hardware but a 3 year old probably won’t care.

I NEED this watch. I mean. I rarely use my ear buds and still keep losing them, so having them around to use when I actually need and I also never leave them around because it`s easier to store them safely then to leave them lying around. Brilliant product.
I love this series, your reviews are always honest and from the perspective of someone who just loves new tech regardless of how ridiculous it may be, which is how I would feel if I were trying these out.
Huawei reminds me of Sega, always pushing tech forward by thinking outside the box and not worrying about failing. Unfortunately that's how we lose these types of companies who take risks while Apple sits back and lets people beta test the tech and then they "revolutionize" the idea and say they are the worlds first. I expect Apple copying this idea in about 5 years or so. Its really dope and amazing. I actually might have to buy these just to show my support.
So True! I tell you a couple of years down the line when apple are at the wits' end, they'll throw this in the mix, and fan boys will be like 'Wow, who'd have thought this' their selective amnesia is preposterous & atrocious!!!
Outside the box! Really this is a gadget. Hemp or graphene ever gets off the ground. Weight of object will be a thing of the past. Alloy metals with graphene and plastic with hemp will make objects tougher lighter.
To be fair, Apple makes really quality products. They always feel good in hand and high quality. Though they may not “invent” the product, they sure are good at making them better quality.
The whole thing where Astro can always look exactly where you are is crazy, they're doing some insane software trickery to be able to pinpoint your location like that!
Or just 4-6 directional microphones placed on different sides of Astro, I'd imagine that would get you pretty close by just comparing the sound level from each one of them?
Being a Huawei enthusiast glad to see a review of the same on your channel again. Gotta appreciate their thinking and I always admire them for bringing something new and how much they put into their R&D each year. I've seen your short clip before and anticipated it might be thick. Then, later tried myself at a Huawei store and it's crazy how they pulled this off considering it's thickness which is not bad at all, considering all other ultra watches in the market now. They should move forward with this one and pretty sure they can develop and make it even more better in the next gen. particularly headphones.
Reasons why apple sucks 1. Preventing software downgrades for iphones when older ipsws/ios are no longer signed in on Itunes 2. Remotely disabling and bootlooping iphones on older ios forcing them to update and erase their phones. 3. Preventing newer backups from being restored on previous macos/ios versions. 4. Making Photos Libraries incompatible on different macos to force people to buy icloud to transfer their photos libraries to different macos. 5. Disabling older working versions of applications that use internet, then make newer versions only be compatible with latest versions of macos/ios to force users to update.
I think I prefer Dope Tech over cell phone reviews. Cell phones reviews are no longer interesting but videos like this are like a fresh breath of air. Keep them coming plz.
My first thought about the Astro is "how did that drink get there?". It doesn't get drinks for you, it's a mobile cup-holder, that you have to lean down for.
I think it would be much more useful as a portable garbage bin. Instead of having 5 or more bins throughout your home, you can just have Astro pick up your garbage when it is called and throw it in a bin specially made for it. That could also be combined with a vacuum, since its contents also go into the bin. Actually, why did nobody make a robot vacuum/garbage collector combo?
@@leonro i have a large extended family from south America so we get together a lot. Depends on the month but averaged out over a year I'd say once or twice a month maybe? Idk
Like I said in your Short video, the smartwatch earbud combo has been out for more than 4 years now. There are various versions on Amazon and a lot less than the $500 Huawei. They average between $40 - $150 and at that cost range you can't go wrong with trying them out.....I have been using them for over 2 years now and I love them......especially while traveling...
I can't imagine they're very good for $150 tho eh? How's the audio quality, battery life etc? I typically just throw my galaxy buds sans case in my jeans if i can't carry the case
Roller skates, compared to roller blades, had their brake pad in front which made them ideal for going up/down stairs or steep hills. I used to "tip-toe" by using the brake pad on the ground with the front wheels as horizontal balance. Been decades since I've been on a skateboard or roller skates/blades.
That Alexa in wheels is the cutest useless robot I’ve ever seen. The expressions it makes are great, especially when it doesn’t understand. It’s like a dog that has no idea whats going on but its just glad to be included.
I love how Marques has such a open opinion about technology, lots of other UA-camrs just bag on stuff they don't like, such as the Astro bot but Marques gave it a fair shake and I love that he is open to all tech, no matter how meme worthy it might be!
I think part of the appeal of that watch bud is that you can charge your watch and your buds case (in this case is the watch itself) at the same time... I use airpods and apple watch, I need a puck for the watch, a charger for my phone and airpods case each.. sometimes its pretty inconvenient especially if all 3 need charging at the same time
The watch buds are a cool idea really:) now imagine having just a regular watch that acts as an earbuds case - that way the earbuds could be a bit bigger, and there would be no compromise on the watch, since it’s not a smartwatch
@@alfiebrennan3882 Sure, but a lot of people doesn't sleep with their watch on, and if their is a great stand that charge it easy it would very seldom matter.
@@alfiebrennan3882 If you just combine your case with a normal digital watch that runs like 5+ years off a coin cell battery, I'm sure you can reserve maybe 5% of the case's power to keep the watch running between charges.
Honestly those earbuds on their own would be interesting to see. Sure they don't have good sound quality, but there's definitely something to be said for earbuds that small. Particularly for portability and fitting with earrings that mess with the seal of larger IEMs
Another list of fairly good tech products that nobody needed or wanted. I appreciate the "I don't recommend buying any of these" line at the beginning.
That watch ear buds combo sounds like a great idea, like I'd be down for a much bigger pixel watch if it also stored my pixel buds. Hopefully someone decides to build one thats good at both things.
5:03 time stamp... did anybody see the red coffin half hidden on the back? Oh, yeah, I remember now about a video saying yes to every email...still creepy though.
The robot sounds like a great idea for an elderly person in a retirement home. It can "keep the person company" and In case the person falls and can't get up (as it oftne happens in retirement homes) it can call out for help.
13:24 I don't get why they put so tiny wheels on them. Why not large, slim wheels on the side which would make for a so much smoother ride, and no weight actually below your feet, except the platform your standing on. The battery could be a strap around your leg, instead of having to be on your feet.
Those shoes look like they will be insane later down the line. Like when v4/v5 drops and the shoes are lighter, motors are quieter, and generally less bulky I could really see them becoming popular
I thought the same thing about 2-in1s until I got a used surface laptop off ebay for 200 bucks. It was still like new and somehow combined everything I wanted in a laptop, mainly a 13 inch screen that could detach as a standalone tablet while still working on my lap unlike the regular surfaces with the flimsy keyboards and active stylus support, then added in an extended battery and dedicated gpu in the keyboard for what's basically chump change in the laptop world. Also I refuse to give up my original huawei watch because it looks so good in the black with the black metal clasp band and a classic looking black and white face from facer. Still get compliments on that thing all the time.
Interesting concepts. I am most intrigued by the _Huawei Watch Buds_ . I was sure the watch would be the limited part of the 2-in-1 since it's bulkier and doesnt fit as much tech inside but if the buds are the part that suffers from more compromise I am sure it is feasable to have premium buds in there as well since those don't have to suffer the compromise: They are already tiny, have the ANC on board and have wireless charging to begin with.
Ngl, I feel like there was missed opportunity for a splash of dank humor at the end with combining all three products into a chaotic “real world” scenario
I love that my Astro can bring me drinks.
I do have to rent a small child to move the drink from the fridge to the cup holder, though.

4. Making Photos Libraries incompatible on different macos to force people to buy icloud to transfer their photos libraries to different macos.
5. Disabling older working versions of applications that use internet, then make newer versions only be compatible with latest versions of macos/ios to force users to update.
Look who it is. Get back to osrs youtube!
I think I prefer Dope Tech over cell phone reviews. Cell phones reviews are no longer interesting but videos like this are like a fresh breath of air. Keep them coming plz.
My first thought about the Astro is "how did that drink get there?". It doesn't get drinks for you, it's a mobile cup-holder, that you have to lean down for.
I think it would be much more useful as a portable garbage bin. Instead of having 5 or more bins throughout your home, you can just have Astro pick up your garbage when it is called and throw it in a bin specially made for it. That could also be combined with a vacuum, since its contents also go into the bin. Actually, why did nobody make a robot vacuum/garbage collector combo?
@@leonro you’re onto something here.. don’t let amazon see this
Well at my family gatherings someone is usually sitting by the drinks so they could easily load it
@@andresv.8880 How often do you have a family gathering though?
@@leonro i have a large extended family from south America so we get together a lot. Depends on the month but averaged out over a year I'd say once or twice a month maybe? Idk
This guy has a million people watching him. Imaging all those all in one physical place… we’re living in a great time
Like I said in your Short video, the smartwatch earbud combo has been out for more than 4 years now. There are various versions on Amazon and a lot less than the $500 Huawei. They average between $40 - $150 and at that cost range you can't go wrong with trying them out.....I have been using them for over 2 years now and I love them......especially while traveling...
I can't imagine they're very good for $150 tho eh? How's the audio quality, battery life etc? I typically just throw my galaxy buds sans case in my jeans if i can't carry the case
It is so sad that Boosted Board went out of business. I liked their product a lot.
Roller skates, compared to roller blades, had their brake pad in front which made them ideal for going up/down stairs or steep hills. I used to "tip-toe" by using the brake pad on the ground with the front wheels as horizontal balance. Been decades since I've been on a skateboard or roller skates/blades.
I couldn't get over how loud the shift moonwalkers were, every time you started walking I would laugh!
That Alexa in wheels is the cutest useless robot I’ve ever seen. The expressions it makes are great, especially when it doesn’t understand. It’s like a dog that has no idea whats going on but its just glad to be included.
Pause @ 4:21
My Cat 🐈⬛ has that exact same expression. ☺️
Peace & Love 💙✌️🇬🇧
I love how Marques has such a open opinion about technology, lots of other UA-camrs just bag on stuff they don't like, such as the Astro bot but Marques gave it a fair shake and I love that he is open to all tech, no matter how meme worthy it might be!
I'm really happy to see Dope Tech back!
I think part of the appeal of that watch bud is that you can charge your watch and your buds case (in this case is the watch itself) at the same time... I use airpods and apple watch, I need a puck for the watch, a charger for my phone and airpods case each.. sometimes its pretty inconvenient especially if all 3 need charging at the same time
Finally a reviewer that talks about how loud the motors in those shoes are. And they were the most annoying in this video.
Man do I love these types of videos! Keep up the great work everyone 🔥
L
Dope tech is back!
The watch buds are a cool idea really:) now imagine having just a regular watch that acts as an earbuds case - that way the earbuds could be a bit bigger, and there would be no compromise on the watch, since it’s not a smartwatch
then you'd just have to recharge your regular watch, and you'd have to set it again every time you do let it run out of battery
@@alfiebrennan3882 Sure, but a lot of people doesn't sleep with their watch on, and if their is a great stand that charge it easy it would very seldom matter.
And you wouldn’t be out $550.
100% would buy this if the earburs were better
@@alfiebrennan3882 If you just combine your case with a normal digital watch that runs like 5+ years off a coin cell battery, I'm sure you can reserve maybe 5% of the case's power to keep the watch running between charges.
Alot of attention to detail; excellent. I use your content to teach high school English and it's really amazing.
The moonwalkers so noisy I thought someone has a screaming kettle next door 😂🤣
12:12 do they sound like tea kettles in real life too or is that the mic making them sound funny?
Astro starting at Marques is the funniest thing I've seen in a while 😂🗿
I really love watching tech videos that I can’t afford. 😅😅😅
0:10 Which Nike grey sneakers/trainers is he wearing at start of the video?
4:20 it's nothing you say???
it is actively melting my heart
i want one
Honestly those earbuds on their own would be interesting to see. Sure they don't have good sound quality, but there's definitely something to be said for earbuds that small. Particularly for portability and fitting with earrings that mess with the seal of larger IEMs
to be honest sound is not so bad ...sure is not the best but it sounds very much like a medium-premium buds
@@jpcisneros21 would like to have a case and attach them on my keyring though. I dont really care about the smartwatch and dont wear one.
I'm enjoying this, I want more dope tech videos.
Hot take: Astro is Amazon's test platform for making home robots to understand how people would interact with them.
Another list of fairly good tech products that nobody needed or wanted. I appreciate the "I don't recommend buying any of these" line at the beginning.
Finally you are back to what i started watching you - dope tech reviews
Top level edits as always, keep up the good work 🤘🏻🤘🏻
If you want 20 rupees swiggy voucher. Send me your number
please.
That clip of you walking with the sound of the motors had me dying 😂
That watch ear buds combo sounds like a great idea, like I'd be down for a much bigger pixel watch if it also stored my pixel buds. Hopefully someone decides to build one thats good at both things.
5:03 time stamp... did anybody see the red coffin half hidden on the back? Oh, yeah, I remember now about a video saying yes to every email...still creepy though.
Nice to see mkbhd working on a funnier and more free personality, we learn everyday.
I love watching these videos of products I’ll likely *never* buy.
Really love this format of video-please keep it up! Esp compared to that funky "Yes to everything" video haha. This still feels very MKBHD.
Gonna get two Astros and create my own Robot Wars
The robot sounds like a great idea for an elderly person in a retirement home. It can "keep the person company" and In case the person falls and can't get up (as it oftne happens in retirement homes) it can call out for help.
I've seen the watchbud idea on Amazon but it doesn't seem like any premium brands have adapted the idea yet, it seems like a good step forward.
The earbuds in a watch are truly amazing 👏
MKBHD ❤️
4:29 in 2077 robots will cat call girls
9:39 ...and your arm. You'd also loose your arm.
Honestly I think the concept is truly remarkable! Very creative!!
13:24 I don't get why they put so tiny wheels on them. Why not large, slim wheels on the side which would make for a so much smoother ride, and no weight actually below your feet, except the platform your standing on.
The battery could be a strap around your leg, instead of having to be on your feet.
10:21 finally straight people can keep up with my gay ass walk
Ankle height, so there that ... 😂 2:54
Those shoes look like they will be insane later down the line. Like when v4/v5 drops and the shoes are lighter, motors are quieter, and generally less bulky I could really see them becoming popular
That won't happen
10:52 Man those Moonwalker shoes sure do make people look like npc's.
I thought the same thing about 2-in1s until I got a used surface laptop off ebay for 200 bucks. It was still like new and somehow combined everything I wanted in a laptop, mainly a 13 inch screen that could detach as a standalone tablet while still working on my lap unlike the regular surfaces with the flimsy keyboards and active stylus support, then added in an extended battery and dedicated gpu in the keyboard for what's basically chump change in the laptop world. Also I refuse to give up my original huawei watch because it looks so good in the black with the black metal clasp band and a classic looking black and white face from facer. Still get compliments on that thing all the time.
The smartwatch with built in earbuds is pretty dope! It feels like a spy agent gadget!
Astro is like an Apple employee, he smashes into glass walls
Never seen anything from your channel, but I liked after one min, and once I finish it, I'm gonna check out your channel!
Great product. I love watching buds...
Interesting concepts.
I am most intrigued by the _Huawei Watch Buds_ . I was sure the watch would be the limited part of the 2-in-1 since it's bulkier and doesnt fit as much tech inside but if the buds are the part that suffers from more compromise I am sure it is feasable to have premium buds in there as well since those don't have to suffer the compromise: They are already tiny, have the ANC on board and have wireless charging to begin with.
Don't listen it's a scam!
Ngl, I feel like there was missed opportunity for a splash of dank humor at the end with combining all three products into a chaotic “real world” scenario
Anyone noticed that Astro's display/face ist just a Yoga Tablet?
Great series! Enjoyable content!
3:00 ideal to call him and ask him to turn on UA-cam while you are sitting on the toilet and forgot to take your phone with you.
This is so cool UA-cam added topics which summarizes a few comments together into one section with a title.
Great segment, highlight some almost there tech. Like the idea of more accessible ear buds
