Yeah, well let me burst your bubble as I have them and THEY SUCK. Honestly there is basically nothing I like about them, especially when compared with basically every mid-to-high end option out there. Hope you look elsewhere, as life long musician they SUCK.
@@kiyotakaayanokoji3065 thats my whole reason not buying them. Every other Razer peripheral I have has some of the best RGB on the market imo, this is a huge missed opportunity.
@@waleedaolnzi1248 hey sorry i couldn’t hear what you said, i couldn’t hear u i’ve the tantrum you’re throwing over someone saying they like headphones. Could you say that again?
Bought them after these specific review, after a year of intense use I can say these are loud af, I always use them at 70% volume, also I dropped them like 5 times and still no issues, i would recommend them for those who are not very careful and want raw volume and bass with no distortion at all (the real volume comes after downloading the app and customizing the EQ, by default the volume is low)
$200 is middle of the road when it comes to options with active noise cancellation at the high end. But man, we're now starting to see noise cancellation on 50 to $75 earbuds...
Not sure I’d trust my hearing to a cheap brand ANC. I spend an inordinate amount of time on airplanes and ANC is a must. They all put a lot of pressure on my ears and I’ve found Bose to be the most comfortable. I’ve had cheap over the ear headphones w/ ANC and they were uncomfortable for prolonged periods. In ears will be worse.
That doesn't sound too bad. I love the gesture customization. I would also love to see an increase battery life in the next generation. Right now I've been rocking the Galaxy Buds+ and been pretty happy with them.
Literally haven't even started the video yet but just want to give a massive shout out to all the peeps who work night and day to make these videos. Thank you so much for still releasing such wholesome useful and enjoyable content and being the only consistency for me
Skullcandy Indy 1st gen is good for $80, often on sales for $50: Recommend for money No noise cancellation, but isolation is good for basic. Great base and sound, but distorted in the 90 to 100 volume range. Dropped multiple times and still works great. Connection is iffy if more than 20ft or so away from device or between walls.
The one thing that I like about the earphones (currently using hammerhead true wireless x) is that you don't even need to activate gaming mode. They are already below 60ms (tested in valorant, league, fortnite, csgo, wow)
YOOOO that Milwaukee knife is actually the shit! I love how on the package it's like "3X FASTER BLADE OPENING!" When I first got it I had a job cutting a LOT of stuff all day and it was honestly a life saver! Saved a good 5 minutes a day! You might want to Loctite the screws around the blade holder because the vibration of opening and closing it eventually loosens them.
You neglected to mention the low latency gaming mode. In my opinion this is why they cost as much as they do. In addition to sounding as good as other high end Bluetooth earbuds they also support low latency which allows them to be used for gaming. Most high end Bluetooth earbuds do not support aptx low latency and therefore will have a drastic lag in audio when used for gaming.
Bought these for $150 Canadian, I finally caved and bought bluetooth headphones after having wired for so long, I like that it's a TYPE C charging port so I don't have to deal with micro USB anymore.
Absolutely love these reviews! His opinion seems so real and has very real-life useful information without seeming like he is shilling for a company that gave him free stuff. Kudos indeed
Great review, thinking of picking them up myself. My main thought after watching this though... your voice high-key sounds like you can do voice over for a character on a show like Rick & Morty.
my issue is that it's 4 hours of play back new. If it was 4 hours of playback at 5 years, or even the end of warranty period (2 years) then i'd be okay with it. The issue is many of the cheaper ones i've used have had 4 hours day 1, but then like 45 minutes 3 years in.
It kinda makes sense to put the case in the Pocketwatch pocket but only if your case is the same size as a pocket watch, plus everyone's pocket watch pockets are difference sizes.
YES! I just discovered Khruangbin too, and literally love them... I can listen to them anywhere anytime, and they’re truly a great test of new speakers/headphones etc. And I can’t pronounce their name either:)
i just bought these last night, and tried everything from ac/dc to Beethoven and Wagner, and these are quite possibly one of most impressive. they're not perfect, though few earbuds would ever be. also the price is a bit high, but the build quality and audio fidelity are very very good
I wish reviews of wireless earbuds would include a test outside in the open air. I have two cheap sets that work perfectly indoors but outside they cannot reliably communicate with each other and they get out of sync or one ear goes silent.
I think the comply foam tips are helping with the sound and seals, they are awesome by themselves and helps a lot improving other earbuds. Too bad it's not for me, they will always pick up my ear oil and gooeys 🙄
Not bad considering that the Airpods Pro cost $250 (though on sale they can be found for $200 as well) but the Sony WF SP-800 is going for $150 - 200 now and those have far better battery life and sound quality than the Airpods Pro so I can see the Sony set beating out these. Same goes for the Jabra Elite 75t (which I own) or 85t and their Active models. I'll probably give these a try.
A little not so well known fact: Razer are able to get that "THX" certified thing reeeeal easy as the OWN THX. So basically they "improve" the value of their audio equipment at practically 0 cost. Doesn't make the headphones quality any less though ^^ Also I'm using the previous/non-pro version (non anc) of these and for the ~100€ they are probably the best tiny headphones I've owned so far.
I don't like that companies copy the shower head design of apple air pods. You've got people our there that think Apple is god tier, and think you're using some trash headphones. I really like the bean design of Samsung though.
Pardon me to correct the not-sensitive touch at 7:10. It's actually super sensitive and Razer did a splendid job making the user touch and hold the earphone 1s instead of just a "slight" touch to pause/play. It's meant for avoiding the accidental touch :D Razer is still failed to elaborate on this smart move of theirs though And the case of the previous model is still lame. (They improved it with the new color mercury and pink, but I wish Razer have some compensation for their fans, who supported their black and first hammerhead true wireless) F*** on this, Razer
4hrs is not bad at all. I LOVEEEEE!!!! my Sennheiser True wireless version 1s and I think they are rated 3 hours. Works fine for me. Yes it has run out on me, but all wireless buds charge so damn quick in case that I don't care.
I found that with many earbuds, I'll have to do a small tip on one ear and a medium on the other. So if you're having trouble with the seal or fit in one ear, try that.
@Anthony Davis Speaking of which, what an interesting quirky little series! Looked up Como Me Quieres and initially I was wondering where was the "Barry" part but when it hit I immediately knew I 've heard it before. I wonder if we will get a nice conclusion to it because Barry and NoHo Hank are a great couple of frenemies.
still rocking my first gen apple earbuds. good headphones are still too expensive to upgrade when your old stuff still works even if you arent 100% satisfied anymore.
and here i am still happy with my ultimate ears superfi5 for 3 or 4 years, with replacement cable and not really worry for the battery is gonna worn off then die and not really sure if anyone sell the battery and not really sure if i or anybody can replace the battery without destroying the case.
Fun fact: While those certifications most certainly aren't worth the ink it takes to print them, THX also makes amplification hardware that is used in some of the objectively best headphone amps.
I still think the best value is the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2's They offer great sound, HearID (which is killer), great battery life, similar customizability in the app for what different taps and presses do, and they are only $100. I bought mine almost a year ago and they are still kicking butt.
Hi, is it possible that you tested the new Huawei FreeBud Pro headphones? I have seen pretty interesting reviews about them, would be nice to hear your thoughts.
The app customization really makes these stand out.
I agree, which is also what makes Soundcore headphones and earbuds stand out
Yeah, well let me burst your bubble as I have them and THEY SUCK. Honestly there is basically nothing I like about them, especially when compared with basically every mid-to-high end option out there. Hope you look elsewhere, as life long musician they SUCK.
