    I've had these since 2020 and they are stinking great for work.

      Some of my old stuff has proprietary cables, which were normal to me back then, but seem like total freaks now. For instance, my DS Lite has a cable that was only ever used for that particular model, not even any other type of DS. Then there's a 3rd gen iPod touch, which has the Apple 30 pin. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 from 2012 has Samsung's 30 pin (like the Apple one but with some bits swapped) and is my newest device with a proprietary port.

      Mini USB was great. Micro USB was a fragile abomination by comparison, only benefit was being a bit smaller to fit into our ever smaller and sleeker devices. But as is the case with Micro USB today for a while using Mini USB was a sign that the device was being made as cheap as possible as the chips and connectors cost less than the newer micro ones, which is why all the nuggets used it for soooo long

You wouldn't believe how many higher-ups demanded we start supporting Microsoft Surface Tablets and the likes since they "are the best in the business". Of course, they HAD to have the Earbuds with their fancy tablets as well (and not just because they didn't have an earphone jack). Well the short of it is, they all hated them and now we've got shelves full of MS Surface products that no one wants.

      A teacher told me they were deployed Surfaces for Covid remote learning, they overheated while running a sustained Zoom session. The IT guy's solution was bendy USB fans. I personally never liked the wireless radios, and the flappy keyboards and cranked up scaling errors really didn't come off well. They are sealed up like iPads despite having a modular SSD and plenty of chunk for open compartments. I would often discourage people from buying them.

    Fun fact: in order to get good, deep bass, fit is everything.
    Regardless of the earbuds: if your ear tips don’t fit well, you will hear drastically less bass. Any personal audio product that boasts about “not blocking you from the outside world” will not product good bass. This is why things like bone conduction buds and the Bose sunglasses sound so thin.
    This is also why leather(ette) ear pads for headphones are so popular these days. Fabric, velour or other materials reduce bass, while thick leather like material helps keep it in. On both iems and headphones, changing ear tips or ear pads can totally transform the sound for this reason.

    the static noise comes them switching to an alternate protocol for phone calls. Bluetooth implements two separate protocols for audio, TCS (also know as the "walkie-talkie protocol") for telephony and AVDTP for general-purpose audio. some devices only support TCS so Bluetooth audio equipment will usually expose both protocols; that's why, say, Beats headphones show up as two separate devices on Windows. the static noise occurs when the device microphone is being used because only TCS supports audio input

    About that Toshiba laptop - these have a CMOS (time backup) battery in them that leaks and ruins them. I haven’t seen the extra videos (I’ve gotta get in supporting you!) but you’ve really got to get that battery out if you’re planning on keeping it running.

    There might be an issue with windows when you use wireless earbuds sometimes they are put as hands free, and you get that static and in general lower quality audio because windows reserves badwidth for audio in. So it is cut in half but i also causes a feedback loop of data so hissing can be heard

    Interesting new earbuds dropped recently, the soundcore VR P10. It's supposed to be super low latency earbuds for the quest 2 VR headset and it comes with it's own dongle. I'd love to see you do a review on them even if you don't use vr. It comes with bluetooth as well and I'd love to see what happens if you stick the dongle in a PC or mac or phone even though it's intended for a vr headset.

    I think they just get mad when you make them talk to non-microsoft products. And yeah I've listened to teams meetings were I'm talking and I sound worse than anyone else.

    I actually think iPhones Bluetooth is a little wonky. I had made a voice recording for a review of a cheap ($30) headset that sounded like it was wired. Also, just made a voice recording on my current Jlabs, I think $50, sounds wired. First recording was on a Galaxy S9 2 years ago and current phone is S21. It might be worth it to try a different device for the mic tests.

    @GuenterErde1 Před rokem +5

    I'm glad you reviewed these lol. I was an early adopter of them. Got them on release. For the most part, I do really like them. I agree with basically everything; except the buzz. I don't have buzz. But the case. If you give the case a 1/10, I'm going 0/10. I hate the case more than I've ever hated anything. Lately, when I slot the right ear bud in, it blinks red. Now, according to the manual, that means ERROR. WHAT ERROR? Are the pins not lined up? is the battery dead? No idea. When it happens, I usually have to shuffle it around for minutes at a time. Eventually, it will work. I have no idea what the problem is. I thought maybe I somehow greased one of the charging pads with either sweat (i wear them during workouts) or earwax. I've cleaned it thoroughly. No idea. I hate it SO much.
    For the people that ask, I got them early due to the comfort aspect. I can't wear most earbuds. But when you learn how to lock these things into your ear (and there is a learning curve), they are so comfortable.

      @@bendoesmtb the noise cancelling is really good. Better then the sony wh1000xm3 ive had before but havent compared to the xm4 or 5 which i know are highly rated. Headphones have a great seal around them so even passive they block a lot of sound. There's 10 levels of noise cancelling.
      The headband is a single piece of metal and as a have a large head I do find the clamping of my ears is a little firm. I'm hoping this will give a little after I've worn them for a bit.
      Touch controls are nice and accurate.
      Build quality wise they do feel a little more fragile than my old Sony's which I used to always just throw about. These go into their hardcase after every use.
      Sound quality wise, they arent 350 quid headphones. I'd go for the xm4's if I wanted to pay North of 300 but if you can get them for less than 200, they are great. Bass is punchy without being woofy. Mids are strong but with some higher frequencies I've found to be a little over bearing on some early 2000 trance/dance songs but modern pop and soft rock (greenday etc) they sound great. Really good for films aswell, not quite as good as my DT770 80ohm but I can walk around without dangling 10ft of cable and a DAC.
