Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Wearbuds Are Like AirPods In Your Watch”.
This is a product called we’re buds now, at the point that you’re watching this, this is not out yet. This is gon na, be a Kickstarter product and it’s launching on June the 20th so any day now this is a SmartWatch type of device which also houses fully wireless earbuds, as you can tell from the picture on the package. So it’s a two-in-one device. As you know, the whole kind of purpose of these fully wireless earbuds is ultimate portability. So what better portability then right on your wrist? Whenever you need them, then you pop them into the SmartWatch module and all of a sudden they can charge up as well yeah. This thing is: got good audio quality, qualcomm, smart audio chip, aptX hi-fi, sound and also fitness tracking, so you’re gon na be able to track your steps and your activity.
If you do a workout or something they also say it’s an ultra stable bluetooth connection. So there is an app to go with it: let’s go ahead and check these out, it’s beyond a prototype, but it’s still early, it’s not retail. Yet so there’s the white one first up and here’s the black one.
So this is what the unit looks like and that’s the bud right there. So it sort of looks like a samsung galaxy bud, something along those lines. It has Chrome on the outside here, as well as the logo and an LED light. So you would just plug that into the right side like that, and it clicks in it’s spring-loaded it clicks in, and you can put them both in at the same time and also pop them both out at the same time when you’re in there. It basically just looks like a watch now the band is like an Apple watch, sort of the way that it attaches it’s also similar material on the bottom side of the unit. You have your charge port there, as well as a heart rate sensor.
Remember. I did tell you this is a fitness watch as well over here we have the black one same idea: earbuds go in, they click charge, cable functions via a magnet. It’S gon na attach oh actually, a fairly strong. Ninety minute benefit and drawback I mean maybe you want like some sort of little dock or some other type of attachment, but this is super portable. To be honest, I’m kind of I’m fine with that type of charging right there, okay, so this one is char. Now, 100 % you can see what the watch face looks like pretty standard out the gate.
How do I interact with it, though I don’t know? Is it strictly from the app? Oh look at that pop those out earbuds come out, there’s a touch screen. Alright, let’s check this out: let’s, let’s get to the bottom of it, there’s the app add the device we’re buds Oh found it just lay that connect the band press and pop out the buds from the band make sure the LED indicators and the buds are flashing. White, oh those are actually quite isolating. Does that it are we connected that that was actually quite easy, so here it shows the actual.
I should put this watch on right now. I guess okay, so the watch is on without the earbuds in it’s actually pretty light. Now this here shows that it’s connected it’ll show you the steps. These, of course, are steps based on me.
Moving my wrist around emulating steps, heart rate, how many floors climbed running cycling, so you can track what what can you really track it? Oh, that’s kind of cool alright, so you could track your duration, speed and calories burn. Let’S see if I can use the heart rate monitor here: yeah, okay, so heart rate monitor functioning. No. This is all a bonus as far as I’m concerned right really.
What this is about is the ear buds. I should listen to some music right now, Wow, okay, these are loud. I’M always complaining that earbuds are too quiet, not these ones whoa. Now they do sit a little deeper in the ear, but they’re light they’re, small and they’re loud. These are loud. Can you hear these really there’s no bleed at all. These are way louder than air pods they’re way louder. I’M very surprised that it’s not what I expected in such a small package, especially something that charges in a watch. I just got to listen to some hip-hop. I did rock there. Let me just get some hip-hop real quick here. You know what, like I had’ve it.
I didn’t have the highest expectations with these because it’s like are they charging a watch? It’S a new company, it’s a Kickstarter. They sound good for somebody buying this type of thing, they’re, definitely an acceptable round and, like I just said I mean they sound better than like air pods. I don’t know, do we have a price on this? Well, we have no price. Who knows we don’t know? We don’t know we don’t know what it’s gon na cost.
I mean there’s a lot of other questions because it’s still waiting for the Kickstarter on the 20th. We just happen to get it early. I mean, if you’re, trying to gather anything from this video. They sound better than I expected.
The watch itself is more comfortable than I expected. I don’t know if, for a lot of people is gon na, be a complete replacement for a smart watch since pretty much everything is controlled via the app, as opposed to the watch itself, so you’re gon na be in the app fairly frequently like I said earlier, I think the fitness component is a bonus, but I think the main cool part is the fact that, like you have these things that can charge up right here. Look at this put them in this product at the moment is a proof of concept.
It’S like wow. We can do that we can put a fully wireless set of headphones into a watch form factor. I would say it’s a little beyond my expectations, but I still feel like this product is early, so it’s hard to evaluate it as a commercial product.
For my personal taste, I will probably go with the black one: it’s a it’s slightly more subdued than the white, but they do have the two colors represented it’s a Kickstarter. So keep that in mind when you evaluate it and definitely wait for the 20th to see all the claims on the page. It’S gon na be more details with battery life and so forth. I can’t endorse it at the moment, but I’m saying right now: it’s kind of promising .
