Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Are Bone Conduction Headphones Right For You?”.
I talked about this in the past. I’Ve looked at these guys products in the past. I talked about this product down on the loo later show. There’S been this movement towards these more advanced noise, cancelling headphones that free you up to hear your surroundings, because people you can’t be cut off.
We have headphones on more frequently in public places. This is kind of the original version of that. Now it’s not a typical traditional headphone.
This uses bone conduction and this company aftershocks they’ve been doing it for a while. Now they decided to use jack on the front cover here, also very athletic himself: the skin to clothing ratio of this image like how did they get this? What is this a shoulder? You can email, what is it jacket? Unbox therapy comm for these types of engagements. Those are the arrow pecs, that’s what they’re calling their latest version from what I have heard. These are supposedly better than the previous ones: open, ear design, bone, conduction technology ip67, waterproof eight hours, music plus calls moisture, detection, alert and titanium fit.
How can titanium be a fit like a Miam fit that’s marketing, lingo they’re, not giving up on the bone, conduction idea if they want to make some improvements, put out a new product. So be it! Why not so it’s the arrow pecs? Can we get a price update right now, 160 bucks, so we’re not cheap anymore. I mean this. Things have to sound pretty good at 169 when, for most people, it’s not gon na replace your headphone, it’s gon na be something you own in association with your headphone. Okay, whoa or these are theirs Jack again, is that you, I think it’s you again.
You must have been in San Francisco or something cuz. It looked like a big hill there do I have to clear up that? That’S not actually you is. This is a legal liability years. No, I don’t. Okay perfect, be open, you see they wanted ears to be open.
Look at these people. You can see their ears. The ears are open, that’s the benefit. Okay, very simple packaging we have the product over.
Here is very Apple s. Actually there I say whoo, there’s sleeker whoa. Those are tiny. This is all soft touch the whole way around and they are tiny look at this. We have a nice little carrying case. It’S also the same soft touch material, very so smooth.
Oh, look at that magnetic they’re doing things at the company they’re not sitting around accessories galore over here whoa, the liquid detection. If there is sweat or other liquid residue in the charging interface, the device light will flash blue and red the core of the headphones will. Also vibrate and emit a beep beep, no, not a beep beep, a bead bead. I know there was such a thing as a bead dry, the liquid and then keep charging okay. So it’s got a little warning on there. They included ear plugs cable number.
One is your charge: cable, it is a proprietary connector, it’s kind of hard for it not to be on a product like this. Let’S see how this goes yeah, so it fits in right above the charge. Connector, that’s where you got your power switch and your volume up and down.
Oh, they just give you two Jack. Look at that. Would you see I mean how nice is that it’s a little gift where you least expect it, let’s go ahead and give these a test? Oh my god, they are super lightweight.
So, let’s see welcome to after shots. Ok, so we have power, I mean, I assume it goes into pairing immediately. It should yeah there. You go. Okay, arrow pecs by aftershocks play a couple of tunes. Why don’t we eighties rock ballads born or I want to know what love is? That’S the maximum volume now how’s.
It bleed right now very little sound bleed wow, that’s the bone. Conduction it’s loud for me right now is me a heartache in pain that Maxie could get that that high volume on there it’s a little crunchy, still less so than the previous version. I should say: let me just get to the chorus real, quick, all right, and I want you to show me: that’s a karaoke banger right there by the way Willie do couple of beers guy, like you yeah, so it’s breaking up a little bit at the top And do I have, would I listen that loud, probably not you’re getting this weird zone of like you can hear your surroundings so you’re kind of like? Should i blast it? I’M gon na go down a few notches and then now the crunchiness is gone and it’s a comfortable listening environment you can see, I can still converse. I could talk to Jack test, one two like you.
I can hear him now. It does feel like the low end is missing a little bit. I think where the previous version heavier-duty, like the old ones, made up for it through through sheer vibration, to give you the impression that the low end was there. These ones don’t really try as much so you get a cleaner signal, but at the expense potentially of some thump, so imma go and play something a bit heavier here. Okay, this is totally different, totally different experience, little more pleat, it’s loud, it’s loud for me. Okay, so don’t think you’re getting a headphone experience.
It’S not a competition. If this was the sound quality was getting out of something that actually went in my ear or around. My ear, it will be unacceptable to be comparative to what I’ve tried out to me, where I think it shines the most is in the category of like podcasts in the category of audiobooks. This thing is kind of that hybrid effect of like you still get to interact with your audio content without the commitment level that any headphone or earphone is gon na give. The trouble is in the meantime that they’ve been working on improving their product. Other products have emerged, earbuds and so forth, like the recent Sony earbuds that I featured that, I liked a lot that use microphones to pass audio through to your ear canal, while you’re listening to music or another audio source, even with those products, you still feel there’s An augmentation that’s happening, so you can hear your surroundings, but you’ll feel in them. If being aware of your surroundings is paramount. If you already have another pair of headphones for those types of listening sessions – and you want something that’s primarily out and about – then it’s tough to beat these ones so with the people jogging on the street, the cyclists you got ta hear guys you’re out there. There’S the vehicles distractions the intersections as maniacs out there, but be aware, there’s the best way to listen to something and be aware. .
