GAN: $17 for a cube with no magnets.
Moyu: $17 for a cube with maglev, core magnets and UV coating.
fr lol
rubiks:100 bucks for a cube with one magnet
356 rs 2 is the same price as the guhong pro
It's the qiyi m pro to be specific and can you tell me which cube has all of these and is produced under the moyu brand cuz I really don't know
frr
This video might be saving countless father-son/father-daughter relationships. And I personally prefer cubes that don't betray me.
What about mother-son and mother-daughter relationships?
@@yaq-yaq Those relationships are not at risk cause mothers are smarter and won't buy the wrong cube ;)
@curiousNic Ohh, I see ;)
Ur correct i confirm but the dads try their best
MoYu: I've finally surpassed Gan's overpricing!
Gan: Hold my magnets. You can keep 'em. I don't need them.
Thank you for the honest review...you really saved my nephew from his tantrums forcing me to buy this GAN 356 Maglev and after showing this video to him, his mind, body & soul is at peace now 😂 😂 😂
and in the end, which cube did you buy for him?
What you said about cubes feeling really good when just spamming but when you do solves they make you mess up a lot is so true
i kinda actually like my 356 Maglev, and while it is my first actual speed cibe upgrading from the i Carry, I've compared it to my friends 12 and V9 I've found to actually like the auto udjustment especially with the M slice ironically. I feel like my M slice EPLLs just go faster than my mind can think with this cube. Maybe I'm not used to not having enough control but overshooting isn't a problem, but that's coming from someone who only acverages 15 (my times have decreased solely because of the M slice and S slices I use for some ZBLS/ZBLL). Massive sleeper. I liked my purchase but again I have some specific tastes and turning styles.
As for other reports on the 356 Maglev, I've only heard good aside from this video: potentially being even better than the 14, Cubehead's review along with other GAN-affiliated propaganda (Tymon can avg 5 on everything). I do think that this could be flagship level especially if it did a better job than the 14 despite having 36 vs 1k+ combinations. Also I don't think magnet adjustment matters thaaaat much because according to everyone it doesn't make much of a difference at higher than 2 tps. SO buy it or don't, but do a little more research outside of this compilation of tihs cube slipping out of these guys's hands before completely throwing this one off the table.
For my current setup I'm using 2-6 (I do agree with their point that only half of the travel distance settings are useful but nothing a little lube can't fix) with lunar/nebula and I might try 2-5 or 1-5 soon
youre not bad for averaging 15s, in fact thats pretty good, and more than enough for you to recognize a good cube when you see it
I have the Gan 356 maglev. With a decent lube setup, but not too much, and on settings 2 and 5, the cube actually feels amazing. Corner cutting is also great. The auto alignment starts around the same place as a 12 or a 14 but the pull itself is not as strong, so it feels a lot calmer and more controllable. Honestly I think this is a massive sleeper cube and if people gave it a chance they would really love it.
what is your lube setup
I totally agree. This cube outperforms my 12, V9, V5 etc. It's brillant.
@@JuKeBox661 what is your lube setup
@@birdgaming9291 none, out of the box. If its gonna dry I would add some gan1 lube, maybe a drop of dnm37.
2 for center piece travel and 5 for tension?
by the way i love your content and the best cubes of 2023 really helped
Don't apologise for a negative review. If multiple cube manufacturers are trying to maximise profit while going through an identity crisis (and producing below par/overpriced cubes) then the review is warranted. The day you only make positive reviews is the day I stop trusting your opinion, so keep at it 👍
you are the best Phil
hey, what app are You guys using for timing ? is web version of csTimer or something else ? Thanks for the review!
FINALLY NOW I CAN MAKE A DECISION
We had the same reaction on learning about the adjustment tool 😅
I bought an rs and magnetized it myself. I prefer it magnetized to my rs3m 2020 and my rs3m v5. I must say though it was a real pain in the neck to magnetize, they aren't the easy to take apart cubies, they are the tiny tab type, and on top of it all I got a drop of glue on a blue piece and it's ugly where I scraped it off. Feel wise though it's pretty great. Without magnets it was basically garbage.
This is why i like MoYu.
MoYu gives you their flagship without jacking up the price so much.
but still not having any issues in my gan356 maglev. It performs very well ❤.
When are you getting the Gan I Carry 2?
I love the new stuffed animal in the background
I wonder if this review turned out the same way a few years earlier when Magnets in Cubes weren’t that common.
Turning style has changed and that’s why going back feels so awkward.
The wobbly ness kinda helps the smooth 356 feel cus the rs is just the 356 baseplate
I know I am late to the party but what app are you using for the scrambles?
The 356 Maglev is worth it. The GAN 14 with less settings which results cheaper.
I bought the 356M and it overturning like crazy. I also didn’t get the UV Version and the frosted plastic doesn’t have any grip. My times were really bad compared to my standards. I can’t recommend it at all. Rs3m V5 is so much better and it’s even cheaper.
I love the big plushie on ur left
dang it... wanted to try a gan cube for a long time and bought the maglev over the 12 just 2 days ago >.
I just bought the maglev and lots of other people say that it is amazing
I bought the 356 maglev and it tops most cubes but not the recent moyus.
I don’t know but I feel like people shouldn’t be making their decision after watching this video. Even when I was about to get my 356 maglev, I saw this video and due to which when I did my first turns, it was disappointing. I kept that cube aside for like a week or two. But then I thought of giving it a chance. Center piece travel on 1 and tension on 6 made it much better (and of course lubes) and right now I’m maining my 356 maglev. This cube has potential and gan cube at this price point is worth it. I’ve seen a lot of speedcubers switch to gan 356 maglev. My opinion is people should give it a try.
just dont trust any person, trust the whole community, we can prove that because i have seen a lot of reviews and the most of them says that "is a great choice if you like gan cubes but you dont wanna spend 80 dollars, and its still a top tier cube" also, if u ask me, i do not recommend the v9 (i prefer tornado v3 or gan cubes), but a lot of cubers recommend it or main it.
I have used this cube for more than 3 months and the corner core magnet dislodge twice. Not sure whether it is only the cube that I bought has this problem or others may also have.
If you think about it,isnt it just a gan 12 but the center adjustment is easier?
Idk if you can adjust the corner magnets tho like the gan 12
don't know
Really want this cube
Thank you as always for making decision choosing cubes,
But a question?
Does the cheap price of this GAN cube has affected your solving or this is really non competitive to other maglev GAN cubes or Moyu cubes?
I wouldn't say affect, but it is certainly better to go for the gan 11mpro or the gan 12. Do not get the gan 14 tho
Thanks a lot for advice
👍👍@@lingyuhenglucas4579
The gan 356 maglev needs set up but if u set it up it's top tier
What app are you using to track your time?
wow that feels good
PHILS voice is so soothing
I Phil Yu, man.
@@thesphyrthDMANNN
what timer app is that?
I bought the gan 11 m pro for €24 with a black friday deal somehow lol
how do you make for the app recognise the cube touch????
10:37 that roast hahaha 😂
I am an owner of the 356 maglev and after about 3ish months.. one if the corner to core magnet just straight up fell out.. am sad now
I needed this review. But still don't know if should I buy weilong v9 bc, tornado v3 pioneer or rs3 v5 bc
I would recommend the v9
Gan 15 idea. Lets make the WHOLE cube made of magnet
Benjnamin is so fluffy
0:28 of course you had to put a minecraft sound in 🤣
I prefer this cube for oh
No skipping ads for good suppoirt anyway can i have any cube with your autograph cause your my girst idol in cubing and nice intro anyway it gives vibes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Coping Cubehead with that knife
So, wehn will we get Benmajins to buy? ❤ Maybe a tiny one with 15 cm to take him everywhere to every comp! 😀
What's your thoughts about not a maglev Gan 356 M?
There's a Gan 356 me
Does wrm v9 have corner twisting problem?
When will you announce the giveaway winners??
Give the Gan 356 maglev to Cubehead and review when ur done
Due to a disability, im looking for something as effortless to turn as possible overall. Do you have any recommendations?
Most cubes nowadays come extremely fast out of the box, including the gan 356 maglev shown in this video and pretty much any gan cube. Moyu also tends to do that, so there are a lot of options.
What I'd recommend is choose a cube that the reviews say comes extremely fast out of the box. Then choose one that has magnet adjustment so you can put it at the lowest magnet strength.
Lastly, get yourself some lubes, both fast and slow (my recommendation is weight 4 + dnm37 + silk/mystic), so you can make the cube be exactly as fast or slow as you want. Good luck!
If you want a light turning cube, consider cube the pro used with blind solved. Usually they have a light cube with lower magnet strength. From my experience, gan cube usually is light, but the price is just... Ugh. I would recommend something like Dayan tengyun, moyu gts3m, tornado both V2 and v3 (V2 is a bit smaller and a tad expensive, v3 is more modern and more solid with adjustable magnet strength) and rs ball core (specifically ball core, because it has weaker magnet). If you have a speed cube retailer near you, try to ask them if you can give a turn on some of the cubes. So that you can make sure the cube suit your turning style. Sorry for the essay, hopefully it could help.
Thank you both!
When I started cubing, I bought the RS thinking it was magnetic. I searched for magnetic gan cubes and the rs popped up and I was like: OMG A GAN CUBE AT $17 :O
And I got it and I was disappointed when I saw the mistake. The same thing happened to me when I bought a gan 249 v2 and I thought it was magnetic.
Phil: My goal is to get a 10, me to bro, me to
Phil casually forget how to cube
btw nice Knife
Righty tighty lefty tighty 😮
you're right about the "people will think gan isn't a good brand" because I got the RS after a 3 years break so I didn't really know the newer cubes and it just sucks
Even I'm just watching, I can feel that the Rs3 is like the 356 RS. 😂
Yes, it can! 😉
can any one tell me the timer name?
Hello ... I want to speak about Gan Maglev :
The cubicle Channel is the only one who said it wasn't worth it 🙄
Im going to try this cube soon ... And im pretty sure the cube you tried isn't that baad , all youtubers gave good resume about it 😮
Plz don't listen to this video , the cube is worth and you can go watch other videos .
yes i thought that too, U arent alone
Try it on the loosest settings... 😮
I feel like cubing!
4:12 what is the timer?
I think the guhong pro m is criminally under rated at how good it is for $20. The performance and feel of the ys3m is on par with the guhong pro m but given it's lack of durability of the corner core magnets I can't see why anyone would recommend it. Maybe I got sent a lemon but corner core magnets that aren't receded in a slot just asks for it to pop off mid solve like it did for me. I'm curious if anyone else had this problem after three months of using it?
I have been using the same YS3 since it came out and I have only had one core magnet come out
That's what happened to mine initially and I pressed fit it back in and thought it was fine. Then while solving it popped out again and latched onto another core magnet popped it off and repeat until four had been messed up and the internal were blocked by more magnets stacking up on the core corner slots. Its a matter of time before yours does too. It shouldn't happen to any magnet core ever.
The fact a 20 dollar cube that never had a magnet pop put ever is telling in the design. I never buy cubes when they come out immediately anymore because the quality on them feel like its planned obsolescence. I almost bought a tornado v3 until I read the reviews. It seems newer flagship cubes have this problem where quality control is abysmal.
Anyway, I hope your ys3m holds up. If you haven't glued it together do it asap and don't make my mistake.
@@johnfranklin2288 I glued the one that came out as soon as I noticed it, but I still trust the cube more than most others
Why use your phone instead of a speedcubing setup?
nice
GAN356 ♥♥ 그것은 제 취향
It feels illegal to be this early
Buying a "cheap" gan cube is like buying a cheap car from a more luxary brand. For instance you can get a $30000 car with all the bells and whistles and it's a better car. Or you can get a $30000 car from a luxary brand that doesn't have any bells and whistles because it's the base model. You're buying it because it says Gan, not because it's good.
originally purchased this cube off amazon. hated it. returned it for an rs3m with maglev. insanely better...
Which one? The maglev or the rs?
@@jmyballsitch i think it was the rs but i can't remember.
The rs isnt magnetic lmao
what is benjamin
19 is my PR😂
356 ME may will good
AND NO ONE IS TALKING BAOUT THE JOTHANON PLUSH
GAN GSC rules non mag cubes… 😅
Mag. Lev.
You are right, Phil! The WeiLong V9 has edge repelling magnets whereas the GAN 356 MagLev has less features.
bong core
0:05 funny how you said it took 5 years to get to you, almost as much as my order took to get to me, except it never arrived
Did you email customer support?
@@StevenWintringham yeah
@@Realspicypepper they should definitely be able to help
@@StevenWintringham its fine the package already went back to them dw
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooollo
So the maglev 356 suffers from the same problems as the 14
Mine never betrayed me idk
It's so silly just selling a non magnetic speedcube on this day and age of speedcubing, the worst thing os that they will probably sell a lot on the south american market cause lots of kids are gan fanboys over here
Looks like spring version of wrm v9 is already better then this
I average sub 12 on gan 356 rs
