Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DON’T Buy The Batband, Unless…”.
So I’m excited for this one. The name alone has gotten me motivated here. Batman, say something Batman would use the bat band. There’S a thing in the world called the Batman. Then it needs to be here on the desk. So I could tell you what it’s all about: ear free Wireless hero, Bowl hero Bowl with bone, conduction, sound, it’s being modeled. I was the first choice.
I couldn’t do it, and so they ended up with this. I think it’s not that bad, but of course there it is put on your head with the logo in the upright position download the app to calibrate swipe one finger to bring volume up, two fingers for the next or previous track and click it once to play. Pause and take or end a phone call that is so strange. Looking I mean it’s certainly not headphones, some light reading with an afternoon cup of tea. That’S what Jack likes to do, connect to your virtual assistant, be social, be social Jack. Do you know how to be social at life? Listen to music and free your ear for your ear.
I’Ve done videos on bone conduction style headphones before, but they looked more like headphones that Raptor on the back of your neck. This is unmistakable. If you see this thing, you’re gon na ask some questions. Yes, bat Bend. I heard something: okay cool now now there is an app I’m supposed to get as well. So I should probably do that Batman by studio banana.
Oh, my. The app has a an average of a 1.3 rating. That’S a little rough connected, sweet there’s presets, so you can choose between outdoors indoors or a personalized preset. Oh, this is cool alright, so you can also set the microphone sensitivity, balance between the left and right channel. Let’S say it’s just cool like there like that it sticks and it’s kind of comfortable. I don’t know, maybe I don’t mind it. You could hide it like. Oh, that might be the move. I’M not doing anything. Look.
I got the ears all right. Let me play the demo track a lot more vibration than I expected. Oh the closer you get to the this is much louder down here. Okay, it’s quite a bit louder. Now, here’s my personalized! Let me create one here, let’s just max it! We just need more. That does not sound great. Let’S just do outdoors, like you hear this right now, yeah you hear this, I mean you can’t be listening to this on an airplane or something. No that actually sounds better.
This sounds way better like this. What it is is the closer that gets to your actual ear the louder it gets. You know it bleeds that this out the sound bleeds out. So if you get a closer to your ear, the louder that it gets so I did a video a while back that was the first bone, conduction audio device that I had tried and the design on those it kind of brings the bone. Conduction part up in front of the ears if it sits right here and those are usable the trouble with these unless you’ve got them right over your ears. It’S just not loud enough.
Maybe that’s fine, maybe that’s where you would end up wearing them anyway. The whole premise here is that your ears remain accessible to outside input you’re at the grocery store you go for the jog, like I said, you’re on the bike, you need to be aware of your surroundings. See the trouble is, if you don’t give that correct mix.
You end up getting not enough of either not enough of your surroundings, not enough of the audio that you’re wishing you were listening to now. I felt like with that last pair. It was good enough, but with this I feel like you’re, probably giving up too much plus.
I think this thing is expensive. How much is this will $ 250? You want to be that whatever, that is you want to be that nice, I’m not wearing this. I’M not gon na wear it.
It’S not happening if it sounded great. Maybe I kind of like the idea of not having my ears covered when I’m out, but compared to the pair that I tried in the past. They did sound better and that I think that counts for something.
I don’t know what to tell you two-fifty man, you could get some serious headphones for 250, like the IQ buds that have microphones in them, so you can get some spatial awareness. Tom say something. Oh you’re amplified right now. I don’t know who this is for other than the girl on the box, some kind of a costume I mean that’s, I have to try it. I got to be on the lookout for that new tech, but what I would say is if you’re looking for bone conduction look away from these. I look the one that’s a lot less expensive.
I will link it down below in the description a company called aftershocks and that one does a better job for less. Maybe it’s for somebody. If that’s for you, I want to know in the comments how you see yourself using that beyond the fact that you’re, a huge Star, Trek, fan and it’s time for you two to beam beam off into another galaxy far away. This episode of unboxing has been brought to you by the new honor 7x and in celebration.
You can probably tell I’ve got seven of them in front of me. That’S because courtesy of Honor we’re gon na be doing a giveaway. It’S happening on my Twitter so make sure to go. Follow me there and now I’ll tell you a little bit more about this device.
0.2. Second fingerprint scanner. So it’s got something they’re calling full view display, which is 18 by 9 by default. But then you can utilize that extra space to have a multi window set up pulled down the multitask button.
You see, it’ll bring up other things, that I’ve got open, scroll and read it and then just size this up. So it’s just the right size of the YouTube player, so it could be YouTube along with reddit or Wikipedia or you could be playing a game along with using a messenger app like whatsapp or even just a text. Message do two things at once: you’re a busy guy or girl. Now another feature this device has is inside the camera in which the front-facing lens will respond to a gesture. This is kind of cool. If I just hold up my hand, it’ll trigger a countdown timer, are you ready jack here we go. Look at two one. You see that I’ll.
Do it one more time in case you missed it hand up see what happened here. You trigger a nice little timer. Get your pose right, get your beauty mode on who’s kidding who Jeff that’s, there’s some billboard material, that’s some Times Square material. Some GQ magazine material. This one here has 64 gigs of storage and 4 gigs of RAM, but you can expand the storage as well. It’S got one of those combo sim card, / micro SD card slots.
Now honor also told me that this is going to be a value device available for somewhere around 300 bucks. On top of that, we’re gon na be giving 7 away because it’s the 7 X Willy do, ladies and gentlemen, also a smartphone delivery guy. So that’s a lot of phones, in fact, that six. This makes 7 we’re giving away 7 shout out to honor for making that possible.
If you want to participate, go follow me on Twitter. The details will be over there. You could be the happy new owner of one of these honor 7 X’s. Don’T do it do it now, .
