I’m glad you’re calling companies out on excessive packaging. I think you’ve done it in previous videos and I’ve commented there too. It really frustrates me that we as the end users get penalised for the disposal of packaging when we have little control over its creation. More manufacturers should be held to account and reduce it at source.
But here it's just extra cardboard and half a gram of plastic baggies. That's nothing compared to the amount of plastics and other materials we use on a daily basis. Any yoghurt cup or salad wrapper uses more plastic. The biggest environmental impact I'd wager is the production of the electronics and the batteries. In a product that will be disposed of in 18 months because the batteries are dead.

It would also mean 3x less on producing literal waste. The baggies as well scale to the thousands for something that doesn't serve a purpose.

I have many airpods I have found around my city, I have BOSE inner ear headphones... And I have a pair of sports headphones from a company called Woosik... Let me tell you, of the 3, my 15 Dollar Woosik headphones sound and play the best. Its a shame how these companies are robbing people, including myself because I actually paid for my BOSE headphones and they were well over 100 dollars. its all a damn money game for these Asian countries, and if we manufactured more of these styles of items in the USA we would be at a better point in this country!

I bet they just had a coin purse or contacts case and said, “Hey you know what else would fit in here? Earphones. And we can just slap our name on them then BOOM! $1200 product.”
Ironically LV products, bags, wallets, etc have very little leather. The body of these products are made from canvas coated in PVC. So you’re spending $2k on canvas coated in plastic with a few pieces of leather stitched on.
Well that's what idiots get for just buying for a logo to look rich. I don't care scam every idiot who is stupid enough to fall for this. I certainly would. A fool and their money is easily parted.
Yep. If this was Hermès we were talking about, though… And *that’s* the reason why Apple partnered with those, and not with LV (that and also the fact that LVMH owns semi-premium watch brands which Apple is currently in the process of eviscerating, I guess).
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. While yes they do sell coated canvas items, they also use various other types of materials. They are also pretty explicit on their website when saying whether or not an item is coated or using genuine leather.
I really appreciate calling out the greenwashing. I hope more reviewers do that so that sincere effort on sustainability becomes a more prominent business concern.
If you want to go about sustainability: Why even have battery powered earphones? You can have corded earbuds you will not throw away per default after 1-2 years. And if you want to do activities with them on, why not rope jumping?
@@Gunni1972 Given that most phones have gotten rid of the headphone jack (thus needing a dongle for whatever phone you have increasing needless production of more potential plastic waste).

@agapp11able These are actually quite possibly the worst imaginable earbuds in their price range, and are about two steps from actual fraud. Upper middle class status symbol is the only thing these can dream of being. True elite and enthusiast brands like Audeze cost about the same but are basically defining the gold standard of their market and using one-of-a-kind bleeding edge tech. Louis Vuitton as a brand exists specifically and exclusively to cater to people with more money than sense who want others to see that fact on full display.

Fantastic review, and props to everyone involved. My wife inherited several new, real LV bags. She promptly sold them and used the money to pay off most of her debt - best use we will ever have for such things. I tend to spend the most money on things that will last decades, and provide a usability that never diminishes vs an item that is subject to society's perception and/or socially trendy standards.
Not to mention, a bag that is used often will deprecate in value quickly and eventually break apart. These LV bags are basically always kept in a wardrobe without ever seeing the light of the sun, except maybe for the occasional fancy occasion once every few years.
@Joshua Paul i love linus as much as the next guy but i feel that you're right. I haven't seen every single headphone review he ever did but the ones i watched definitely didn't involve Linus going on a plane trip where all you can do for a couple hours is stare at other passengers
To be fair to LV, apart from being one of the most efficient ways of converting money into looking like a worse human being, their handbags and stuff are usually made of really really high quality leather. not that that actually matters ofc, but at least you know that it's just overpriced, not actually bad.
That is most people. Hence why these are "luxury" it is the definition. The fact they diminish is also part of the "luxury" of them. Pay a lot to be a cutting edge trend and move to the next b/c the point is to be cutting. Though depending they may not diminish I will say, select versions can be collectables.
I've been rocking those master and dynamic earbuds for 2 years now and they rule, highly recommend. Also very glad Linus pointed out that these were a rebadge, was waiting the whole video getting ready to type an angry comment lol Also don't buy watches from Louis Vuitton, their watches are even worse than these headphones and for all the same reasons.
If they wanted to go super luxe look but not in a gaudy way, a Presage is literally perfect for that. Of course, LV buyers aren’t exactly looking for low key luxe
lol oh shit! I have 2 that watches that I just love loooove loooooooooooooveD...3 actually 1 was a valentine gift someone from the fucking TSA stole. 1 was a Timex? been years, and this last one is just regular electronic watch.
I thought the exact same thing. I really did enjoy my M&D earbuds though. Besides the new Sony's, the M&Ds have been my favorite! I've owned a lot of BT earbuds in the last 5 years.
The second he pulled he pulled out the earbuds, I immediately thought "Those look exactly like my Master and Dynamic's" and pulled up the M&D page to find nothing. Thought I was going insane until Linus brought it up.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
@@greenumbrellacorp5744 They look horrible because they have to be big enough to show off the LV brand. They don't look horrible btw, they look fuckn disgusting and only suitable for the fashion challenged.
The target group for this is clearly people who know they are paying way too much for the product - but that's the point. It says loudly "I don't even care what it's worth, I can just get it for whatever price".
that's the target of ALL designer goods. People pay to walk around advertising how much more money than you they have. It's kinda hilarious because they don't seem to realize they are actually walking around advertising that you shouldn't respect them.
Ok, question for Mr. Editor here: Do you have a table or shortcut list to clips of Linus dropping stuff? You're not looking this up from old raw footage everytime you want to cut it into a video right? If so can we get a montage every year?
Some brands overcharge tenfold by design. These are products for people who want to show they don't have to care about the price at all. Even knowing they could get the same quality for 500% less, they don't care.

Always wondered why if a company has the money why not back it up with an amazing sound experience v.v it's already 1200 no one is gonna fret if you spend a couple extra hundred for actually good sound quality.
Because they will not sell that many. Making really good ones is not cheap, it would almost certainly lose them money. They are not a rich company because they spend much to earn little. The reason why Apple or Samsung make better Earphones is because they sell the quantities to justify high development costs.
Yeah, why not start with the most important stuff like audio quality, background noise cancelling quality... usability, you know, like... quality quality, and THEN add leather cable tie and wealthy people bits and bobs? You could then have "the absolute best X" advertisement line and kind of hide behind this actually defensible position when the cost becomes apparent. Why not do it? Luis Vitton was never actually a company I ever would buy anything from, but at least I didn't have anything bad to say about them. You know, designer bags are... Well, designer bags. I don't really care about them at all. But after seeing this product with their logo on it, and at that price? Well...That's embarrassing, and the entire fault I'd squarely lay on LV and not on the company that actually designed the hardware, because I'm pretty sure if LV wanted a top of the line quality product, they have the money to pay people who know how to do it. They just chose not to. In the end, do I care about rich people being basically scammed out of their money by LV? Not really. But it's still in a bad taste.

You assume that common sense is actually still common. Who hurt you, and why are you so angry?
I will defend LV for the thing they do well, their leather products. My wife has a bag from them she uses every day and it has held up for years. This, however, is just a re-brand of another companies product with some red paint and a massive markup and because of the nature of the product, it is only going to last a few years anyway like most pieces of technology.
The quality may be there on their leather products, but the quality isn't thousands of dollars better. At that point, you're paying for the brand. There are instances where paying a lot more for a little better quality makes sense (when that product is used to make you money and any downtime removes that ability, or in the case of something that will cause life or death)
There are a lot of brands out there that offer the same or even better quality than what lv is asking for. Lets be honest that women love lv because of the status symbol and not the durability. Same thing for me and my fathers rolex's, the branding makes the price higher even if they're not doing anything special with the watches movement or any other unique function but at least a Rolex is a solid investment that will last so many years unlike a leather bag.
@@dredgewalker My understanding is that LV bags hold their value pretty well. This pair of earbuds they have stamped their logo on though probably not.
@@ryant2568 LV bags only hold their value if they are well taken care of and even then they're not as easily liquifiable as a rolex. Also I would never invest in something made of a material that degrades in time. Some of my watches have leather straps that need replacing every one or two years depending on how much I use them. At least with a watch it's easy to replace the leather straps, a bag that deteriorates just becomes junk.
@@dredgewalker Personally I would not even call a Rolex an investment as it will also loose value over time even if that loss is slow. An investment is something that goes up in value over time like a property. You buy a Rolex for the exact reason you buy a LV bag at the end of the day whether you want to admit that to yourself or not.
I have a feeling the reason why the eq is so scooped and boosted in the bass is because the demographic of people that will buy that mainly listen to trap rap.
You'd probably be correct. I understand that it's likely the market they'd be catering to the most with this product but as both a trap fan and a sound engineering I can't help but feel embarrassed by that V curve lol
I really hope LV sees this. But I have a feeling that they, and their customers, are so far removed from reality that they won't care one bit. Then again, they might be pissed. Which response do you think I'm hoping for? 😂
Yep. I'm sure it's a mixture of mindless sheep and/or not caring because it's a status symbol for those in the thin crust of shit on "top" of society. 😒
Let me tell you about the average LV customer: I used to do tech support for an old retired couple with a basic pension. I'd come over to reset the router or change the TV's input from HDMI-1 to HDMI-2... you know, stuff like that. Usually for free, or they'd give me something by the end of the month when their pension came in. Even though they were poor themselves their son had a great job, several houses, a Ferrari and a trophy wife... let's call her Karen. For Karen's birthday she asked her mother-in-law for a $2400 LV bag. They flew all the way to florida for her birthday and gave her an envelope with $500 because that was all they had. Karen was FURIOUS. Never had she been so insulted in all her life. She started a huge fight in the middle of her party, then locked herself in her room crying for the rest of the day. She made her husband kick out his parents that were staying in the guest room to get a hotel room instead. And the next day he had to take her out shopping for the LV bag she wanted (and a few other things for the emotional distress) Oh, and she didn't give back the $500 either, obviously. True story, I swear! That's what people who buy LV bags are like. Or at least the one I know.
I remember in high school there was a dude who wore fake nails and girls clothes a lot, got made fun of and all that. I was certainly not a nice kid but I usually went after other not nice kids. One day I asked him why he wore the nails and sometimes heels as it seemed like it would be annoying. “Fashion is supposed to annoy everyone.” Was the part of his response that has stuck with me to this day.
I’ve had the MD MW07 Plus for about two years and have loved them. I wear them almost every day for at least 4-5 hours and the battery is still lasting about 7 hours. They aren’t as good as the airpod pros, but the battery life and UI make up for its lower quality ANC and sound quality.
I have the mass drop go version which I beat on during work and they are great sound, durability and battery wise. Only thing I dislike about them, which I'm not sure it if it also applies to the plus is that if I only want to listen to music with one ear, it has to be the right earbud. Would definitely recommend them
@@mooshroom199 That's not an issue with the production release, which I had. I regrettably upgraded to the new MW08s and they are actually a step down in both fit and audio quality. Battery life is godly on MW07s, and the snig fit (you have to rotate them in not push them in) is great, I used them a lot while trail running
@@seanf4776 they sure do stay in great, only time one has fallen out was after I got clocked in the head by a container door. Also never had em die on me, even when I worked 10 hour shifts I stuck em in the case for 20 mins during lunch and made it all the way home with music
@@seanf4776 I disagree about the battery life on the MW07s. I've had two of them, and the Blue Steel version ended up with a lot of battery degredation and last only about 1.5 hrs on a full charge. My second pair is fine, but I don't like how the case continuously charges and loses large over time, and this was true for both pairs. I switched to a paird of MW07 Go and MW08 Go's and they definitely are much better. I would say the former does everything for battery life, and durability.
Reminds me of when I worked at Beverly Center in Beverly Hills as a parking supervisor. I would often see a beat-up car approaching the exit with a sad guy at the wheel and his soon to be ex-girlfriend with a brand new Louis Vuitton handbag in her lap.
There are definitely a number of wealthy people that don't have taste. But I will say that having insane wealth (we're talking when a million dollars is just a drop in the bucket for you), you'll tend to spend your money on the most ridiculous things just because you can. We always keep seeing these rich people buying the stupidest or weirdest stuff but really they're doing it to be different and standout to gain that sweet attention they oh so crave and would perish and die if they didn't receive it, and also because it's an exclusive item. A good example like the LV earbuds in this video. They're an exlusive item that only a certain number of people can get. The more rare it is, the more it costs, the more it'll gain the attention of rich people.
You don't buy Louis Vuitton for quality but for exclusiveness. $1200 from Louis Vuitton which includes audio means a cheap product with mediocre electronics. No audio company is going to work with them to give away their best audio and Louis Vuitton doesn't have any credibility in audio. So they must have worked with another company but got mediocre crap they made to look exclusive for rich people who only care about the brand.
Y'all shilling kz need to like check out other cheap brands or at the very least other KZ models. I always see people recommend their worst earphones. Even their decent ones are cheap af. But fr, buy moondrop arias if you want a legit deal on earbuds.
I have a kz zs10pro since 2019, the only thing i had to change was the cabe, the rest of the iem is like new, and boy these iem got their cut of drops and key scratch. Only recently I've switched to an buds+ (only buds with decent battery life )
Great video. Kudos to you Linus with sustainable packaging and all. One huge box and plastic packaging just because of consumerism is gross. The whole brand one-upmanship, status thing (in general, not the video) is so cringe and unnecessary.
I never understood the whole "luxury brand" branding deals that tech companies do as there is such a thing as luxury electronics brands(that they often times already own). A rich guy would feel just as much of a "flexing on poor people" appeal with a bang and olufsen as he would something with Louis Vuitton branding
I stealth flex with affordable but expensive Planar headphones and quality boots whose brands no normal person outside of enthusiasts of those niche interests has heard of.
As a child, I always thought these designer brands were the pinnacle of consumerism You get the gear, keep it for life. After I bought my first watch, the truth hit me. They're selling $50 of watch for a thousand bucks. It still takes a $2 battery like my childhood Casio. All you pay for is bragging rights. Embarrassing.

Ironically LV products, bags, wallets, etc have very little leather. The body of these products are made from canvas coated in PVC. So you’re spending $2k on canvas coated in plastic with a few pieces of leather stitched on.
Well that's what idiots get for just buying for a logo to look rich. I don't care scam every idiot who is stupid enough to fall for this. I certainly would. A fool and their money is easily parted.
So basically LV are the kings of marketing shitty quality products...
Yep. If this was Hermès we were talking about, though… And *that’s* the reason why Apple partnered with those, and not with LV (that and also the fact that LVMH owns semi-premium watch brands which Apple is currently in the process of eviscerating, I guess).
Even these headphones look almost similar to those bootleg chinese earphones who have crazy colors on them.
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. While yes they do sell coated canvas items, they also use various other types of materials. They are also pretty explicit on their website when saying whether or not an item is coated or using genuine leather.
I actually think they look really cheap, like you would find them as a novelty or skull candy
If you told me they were $25 child proof hearing aids for toddlers, I'd believe you.
I really appreciate calling out the greenwashing. I hope more reviewers do that so that sincere effort on sustainability becomes a more prominent business concern.
If you want to go about sustainability: Why even have battery powered earphones? You can have corded earbuds you will not throw away per default after 1-2 years. And if you want to do activities with them on, why not rope jumping?

@@educate9946 "there there"
Fantastic review, and props to everyone involved.
My wife inherited several new, real LV bags. She promptly sold them and used the money to pay off most of her debt - best use we will ever have for such things.
I tend to spend the most money on things that will last decades, and provide a usability that never diminishes vs an item that is subject to society's perception and/or socially trendy standards.
Not to mention, a bag that is used often will deprecate in value quickly and eventually break apart. These LV bags are basically always kept in a wardrobe without ever seeing the light of the sun, except maybe for the occasional fancy occasion once every few years.
@Joshua Paul i love linus as much as the next guy but i feel that you're right. I haven't seen every single headphone review he ever did but the ones i watched definitely didn't involve Linus going on a plane trip where all you can do for a couple hours is stare at other passengers
@Joshua Paul
You are right about it, but stop reposting your stuff. It looks desperate and cringe
To be fair to LV, apart from being one of the most efficient ways of converting money into looking like a worse human being, their handbags and stuff are usually made of really really high quality leather. not that that actually matters ofc, but at least you know that it's just overpriced, not actually bad.
That is most people. Hence why these are "luxury" it is the definition. The fact they diminish is also part of the "luxury" of them. Pay a lot to be a cutting edge trend and move to the next b/c the point is to be cutting. Though depending they may not diminish I will say, select versions can be collectables.
I've been rocking those master and dynamic earbuds for 2 years now and they rule, highly recommend. Also very glad Linus pointed out that these were a rebadge, was waiting the whole video getting ready to type an angry comment lol
Also don't buy watches from Louis Vuitton, their watches are even worse than these headphones and for all the same reasons.
This exactly. I'll recommend anyone buy something like a Seiko Prospex or a grand Seiko before ever uttering praise for a Louis Vuitton watch
If they wanted to go super luxe look but not in a gaudy way, a Presage is literally perfect for that. Of course, LV buyers aren’t exactly looking for low key luxe
lol oh shit! I have 2 that watches that I just love loooove loooooooooooooveD...3 actually 1 was a valentine gift someone from the fucking TSA stole. 1 was a Timex? been years, and this last one is just regular electronic watch.
I thought the exact same thing. I really did enjoy my M&D earbuds though. Besides the new Sony's, the M&Ds have been my favorite! I've owned a lot of BT earbuds in the last 5 years.
The second he pulled he pulled out the earbuds, I immediately thought "Those look exactly like my Master and Dynamic's" and pulled up the M&D page to find nothing. Thought I was going insane until Linus brought it up.
Yeap, same here
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
Ironically if I saw these things in the wild I would immediately assume it's some cheap knock off ear phones lol.
right, i mean.. personally.. they look horrible, i wont mind 500$ superb quality earbuds... but plz not that ugly.. neither mediocre at that price
@@greenumbrellacorp5744 They look horrible because they have to be big enough to show off the LV brand.

And refers to the packaging, no less. lol
In all realness, if i saw somebody with huge red earbuds in, i'd assume they ordered cheap ones from wish.
The target group for this is clearly people who know they are paying way too much for the product - but that's the point. It says loudly "I don't even care what it's worth, I can just get it for whatever price".
that's the target of ALL designer goods.
People pay to walk around advertising how much more money than you they have. It's kinda hilarious because they don't seem to realize they are actually walking around advertising that you shouldn't respect them.
But most of the people who buy brands like this in fact don't have the money to spend

Always wondered why if a company has the money why not back it up with an amazing sound experience v.v it's already 1200 no one is gonna fret if you spend a couple extra hundred for actually good sound quality.
because that's not how fraudulent people think
Why would they spend extra money on resources when idiots all over the globe will buy them even if they're made from extremely cheap materials.
On buds more money does not necessarily better sound make. There are always weight, size, and battery life tradeoffs
Because they will not sell that many. Making really good ones is not cheap, it would almost certainly lose them money. They are not a rich company because they spend much to earn little. The reason why Apple or Samsung make better Earphones is because they sell the quantities to justify high development costs.
Yeah, why not start with the most important stuff like audio quality, background noise cancelling quality... usability, you know, like... quality quality, and THEN add leather cable tie and wealthy people bits and bobs?
You could then have "the absolute best X" advertisement line and kind of hide behind this actually defensible position when the cost becomes apparent.
Why not do it? Luis Vitton was never actually a company I ever would buy anything from, but at least I didn't have anything bad to say about them. You know, designer bags are... Well, designer bags. I don't really care about them at all. But after seeing this product with their logo on it, and at that price? Well...That's embarrassing, and the entire fault I'd squarely lay on LV and not on the company that actually designed the hardware, because I'm pretty sure if LV wanted a top of the line quality product, they have the money to pay people who know how to do it. They just chose not to.
In the end, do I care about rich people being basically scammed out of their money by LV? Not really. But it's still in a bad taste.

I will defend LV for the thing they do well, their leather products. My wife has a bag from them she uses every day and it has held up for years. This, however, is just a re-brand of another companies product with some red paint and a massive markup and because of the nature of the product, it is only going to last a few years anyway like most pieces of technology.
The quality may be there on their leather products, but the quality isn't thousands of dollars better. At that point, you're paying for the brand. There are instances where paying a lot more for a little better quality makes sense (when that product is used to make you money and any downtime removes that ability, or in the case of something that will cause life or death)
There are a lot of brands out there that offer the same or even better quality than what lv is asking for. Lets be honest that women love lv because of the status symbol and not the durability. Same thing for me and my fathers rolex's, the branding makes the price higher even if they're not doing anything special with the watches movement or any other unique function but at least a Rolex is a solid investment that will last so many years unlike a leather bag.

@@ryant2568 LV bags only hold their value if they are well taken care of and even then they're not as easily liquifiable as a rolex. Also I would never invest in something made of a material that degrades in time. Some of my watches have leather straps that need replacing every one or two years depending on how much I use them. At least with a watch it's easy to replace the leather straps, a bag that deteriorates just becomes junk.
@@dredgewalker Personally I would not even call a Rolex an investment as it will also loose value over time even if that loss is slow. An investment is something that goes up in value over time like a property.
You buy a Rolex for the exact reason you buy a LV bag at the end of the day whether you want to admit that to yourself or not.
LTT videos are starting to become legit major TV channel quality. I hope this channel lives on for at least as long as I am alive and then some.
The way they absolutely SCOOP the mids reminds me of the Raycons.
By chance, do you watch dankpods?
@@Goorue Of course, he saved me from buying a pair.
I need dankpods reviewing this
I have a feeling the reason why the eq is so scooped and boosted in the bass is because the demographic of people that will buy that mainly listen to trap rap.
I was going to argue then remembered Logan Paul and his fans
You'd probably be correct. I understand that it's likely the market they'd be catering to the most with this product but as both a trap fan and a sound engineering I can't help but feel embarrassed by that V curve lol
That intro was golden. True audiophile glory.
2:40: the hinge on my OG airpods that half stopped working still works completely fine and snaps nicely, yet cost probably like a tenth of this
I really hope LV sees this. But I have a feeling that they, and their customers, are so far removed from reality that they won't care one bit. Then again, they might be pissed. Which response do you think I'm hoping for? 😂
They probably don't care. Their customers are mindless sheep that pay for anything Louis Vuitton branded.
They don’t care
Yep. I'm sure it's a mixture of mindless sheep and/or not caring because it's a status symbol for those in the thin crust of shit on "top" of society. 😒
@@jacobperez8921 Just like iSheep.
Let me tell you about the average LV customer: I used to do tech support for an old retired couple with a basic pension. I'd come over to reset the router or change the TV's input from HDMI-1 to HDMI-2... you know, stuff like that. Usually for free, or they'd give me something by the end of the month when their pension came in. Even though they were poor themselves their son had a great job, several houses, a Ferrari and a trophy wife... let's call her Karen. For Karen's birthday she asked her mother-in-law for a $2400 LV bag. They flew all the way to florida for her birthday and gave her an envelope with $500 because that was all they had. Karen was FURIOUS. Never had she been so insulted in all her life. She started a huge fight in the middle of her party, then locked herself in her room crying for the rest of the day. She made her husband kick out his parents that were staying in the guest room to get a hotel room instead. And the next day he had to take her out shopping for the LV bag she wanted (and a few other things for the emotional distress) Oh, and she didn't give back the $500 either, obviously. True story, I swear! That's what people who buy LV bags are like. Or at least the one I know.
Intro is spicy 🔥, you can tell this is going to be good
I hit the Like button as soon as Linus called out their packaging practices. That's good journalism there!
I remember in high school there was a dude who wore fake nails and girls clothes a lot, got made fun of and all that. I was certainly not a nice kid but I usually went after other not nice kids. One day I asked him why he wore the nails and sometimes heels as it seemed like it would be annoying.
“Fashion is supposed to annoy everyone.” Was the part of his response that has stuck with me to this day.
I’ve had the MD MW07 Plus for about two years and have loved them. I wear them almost every day for at least 4-5 hours and the battery is still lasting about 7 hours. They aren’t as good as the airpod pros, but the battery life and UI make up for its lower quality ANC and sound quality.
I have the mass drop go version which I beat on during work and they are great sound, durability and battery wise. Only thing I dislike about them, which I'm not sure it if it also applies to the plus is that if I only want to listen to music with one ear, it has to be the right earbud. Would definitely recommend them
@@mooshroom199 That's not an issue with the production release, which I had. I regrettably upgraded to the new MW08s and they are actually a step down in both fit and audio quality. Battery life is godly on MW07s, and the snig fit (you have to rotate them in not push them in) is great, I used them a lot while trail running
@@seanf4776 they sure do stay in great, only time one has fallen out was after I got clocked in the head by a container door. Also never had em die on me, even when I worked 10 hour shifts I stuck em in the case for 20 mins during lunch and made it all the way home with music
@@seanf4776 I disagree about the battery life on the MW07s. I've had two of them, and the Blue Steel version ended up with a lot of battery degredation and last only about 1.5 hrs on a full charge. My second pair is fine, but I don't like how the case continuously charges and loses large over time, and this was true for both pairs.
I switched to a paird of MW07 Go and MW08 Go's and they definitely are much better. I would say the former does everything for battery life, and durability.
Reminds me of when I worked at Beverly Center in Beverly Hills as a parking supervisor. I would often see a beat-up car approaching the exit with a sad guy at the wheel and his soon to be ex-girlfriend with a brand new Louis Vuitton handbag in her lap.
The people who buy things like this, have absolutely no idea of what quality actually is.
Just sheep spending 500 extra just for a logo.
They usually also have so much money they don't know what stupid thing to do with that money next...
@@conkerlive101 no, that's Apple customer, but at least Apple has quality. but this one? this is worse.
There are definitely a number of wealthy people that don't have taste.
But I will say that having insane wealth (we're talking when a million dollars is just a drop in the bucket for you), you'll tend to spend your money on the most ridiculous things just because you can. We always keep seeing these rich people buying the stupidest or weirdest stuff but really they're doing it to be different and standout to gain that sweet attention they oh so crave and would perish and die if they didn't receive it, and also because it's an exclusive item. A good example like the LV earbuds in this video. They're an exlusive item that only a certain number of people can get. The more rare it is, the more it costs, the more it'll gain the attention of rich people.
You don't buy Louis Vuitton for quality but for exclusiveness. $1200 from Louis Vuitton which includes audio means a cheap product with mediocre electronics. No audio company is going to work with them to give away their best audio and Louis Vuitton doesn't have any credibility in audio. So they must have worked with another company but got mediocre crap they made to look exclusive for rich people who only care about the brand.
This sponsorship aged well!
While the in ears aren't that great, their over and on ear headphones are phenomenal
yea that's what linus talked about starting from about 9:00 so he knows
yes. Like he said in the video. Maybe watch before you correct them?
Please make rich Linus a constant thing in your channels. That was freaking funny.
It gets even sadder when you consider the fact that these get thrashed by $20 wired earbuds. The KZ ZSNs.
love the kay zeds m8
Y'all shilling kz need to like check out other cheap brands or at the very least other KZ models. I always see people recommend their worst earphones. Even their decent ones are cheap af. But fr, buy moondrop arias if you want a legit deal on earbuds.
@@insertaghere I've been rocking KZ ATE's for years now. Absolutely love them.
@@plushifoxed Another Dankpods watcher?
I have a kz zs10pro since 2019, the only thing i had to change was the cabe, the rest of the iem is like new, and boy these iem got their cut of drops and key scratch. Only recently I've switched to an buds+ (only buds with decent battery life )
having two Linus's on screen is like going back to the early, cheesy, corny video days of UA-cam.
The real fashion statement in this LV video is at 4:35, with the wonderful Northernlion hoodie in full display.
6:58
It comes with an egg bag!

0:41 Rich Diva Linus passed the YASSFICATION VIBE!!!💅
I have the standard MW07 headphones and they've held up really well for a couple years now. Great sound quality and build.
Great video. Kudos to you Linus with sustainable packaging and all. One huge box and plastic packaging just because of consumerism is gross. The whole brand one-upmanship, status thing (in general, not the video) is so cringe and unnecessary.
Well made video. Thank you for showing how much a brand name costs over the product quality.
I never understood the whole "luxury brand" branding deals that tech companies do as there is such a thing as luxury electronics brands(that they often times already own). A rich guy would feel just as much of a "flexing on poor people" appeal with a bang and olufsen as he would something with Louis Vuitton branding
I stealth flex with affordable but expensive Planar headphones and quality boots whose brands no normal person outside of enthusiasts of those niche interests has heard of.
And yet 11900k sold many units despite being a 11700k
I just have to say that I love your segues to your sponsors, I usually just skip past sponsor content but yours I actually watch because of that.
As a child, I always thought these designer brands were the pinnacle of consumerism
You get the gear, keep it for life.
After I bought my first watch, the truth hit me. They're selling $50 of watch for a thousand bucks. It still takes a $2 battery like my childhood Casio. All you pay for is bragging rights. Embarrassing.
That casetify sponsor hit me like a train, to be fair tho they didn’t really have any controversies at that point so no blame
yeah, funny how it turned out
0:53 Hey Linus, they spelled your name wrong Lienus!
Rich Linus with the gorgeous nails wouldn't be of much help on computer builds - might chip the nail paint 😏 Love the new video!
