Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Human Headphones Just Changed The Game”.
This episode’s sponsored by wix, so these things they’ve been requested by a large number of you on twitter. In the youtube comments, you guys know i really enjoy looking at headphones. It’S not very often that you get a completely new form factor in the headphone territory. In the headphone segment we have earbuds, we have over ear headphones.
We have on-ear headphones, of course, with a headband associated. We have the full wireless stuff, of course, uh the very popular air pods now airpods. So anyhow, here we end up on this.
A completely new. Take it’s called human headphones and when you wear it, that’s what it looks like it’s crazy. How is it on there? How does it stay? Put that’s what’s happening right here, she’s wearing it he’s wearing it. For this to work out, it’s gon na have to deliver sound quality above what the earbud is capable of big big, sound full-size, speaker driver. So that’s what they say. Look we’re not trying to be as portable as the earbud, but we’re gon na give you the sound quality.
Listen out loud, put them together to activate a powerful bluetooth, speaker, okay, so they also become a bluetooth speaker. So now you got a portable speaker as well, which is on you at all times: okay, use your voice to make calls send texts and translate to 13 different languages built in translate. You could use that j on your travels heavily highly requested from you individuals out there in the world. Look at that! That’S the thing! That’S the package, it’s so interesting! Oh, my goodness! It’S like a little capsule. How do i even oh, you just pull it apart. Look at that they’re on and ready to pair.
I guess when i peel this off they’re just in pairing mode. That’S crazy, simple! Oh! That’S! Some memory, foam action! You see how that stays sitting down for a second. I guess this is for each individual is gon na be a bit different from that standpoint, so that moves around like that. I see microphones on the outside. How does this go? Let’S find out? Oh okay, so your ears fitting in there uh, i should say i’m already having a very bizarre experience. Well.
First of all, i look crazy [ Laughter, ] they’re, saying ready to pair, but they also went into a pass-through mode. So right now i have crystal clear audio, like you guys myself, my own voice and you guys they’re almost like hearing aids right now talk jack! Oh my god! Here we go. Let’S get to human app there’s this install thing that i definitely should have paid attention to pull the hook.
That goes around what they’re calling the ear root. Did you know you had an earring? No, you didn’t. I feel like this guy with the slightly longer hair.
It blends for him whether i’m wearing a hat or no hat. That is, you are gon na see that, and this is your charge cable. This is definitely proprietary.
It’S a nice little dock and it’s usbc. On the other end, a nice simple power, brick to go with it, fit attachment pads okay. So these are also memory foam, so you have options there.
These are magnetic fit too there’s really a lot of magnetic stuff going on and then look at the travel pouch jack, that’s kind of nice. Isn’T it feels like a suede sort of finish. There’S a silica gel inside i’m not gon na throw a jacket; it just wouldn’t be very nice. Look how happy she is you see? That’S what happens you buy these? That’S what happens.
I trust i trust. Let’S go pair it up. Okay, so this is nice. This is just as easy as pulling them apart.
They turn on and connect to the last pair device. That’S i love that i like that, that type of interface, you don’t even need to think about you just close them down. That’S it can, i just say these are expensive. I feel like you’re feeling that right now i feel you probably feel that, as you saw the package come out, what are we looking at price wise? Will he do something? They got a price to him.
Don’T they 260 dollars, he says and he was amplified when he said that, because i heard it’s a hefty price tag, it might be the future, though so, let’s, let’s think about all right touch – controls tap to pause, media playback, tap again to resume swipe forward to Go forward swipe back, go back swipe up to increase font. It’S a typical touch pad it’s a common interface now press and hold either headphone to amplify outside sound. If i was playing music, they would shut off to isolate me a little bit, but then i would just tap over here. I just be like.
Okay, let’s continue the conversation, i’m just tapping my module. Oh now, you’re shut off now, i’m muffled. Now it’s terrible and now you’re back it’s night and day blend mode, so tapping the blend button in the app will toggle outside sound amplification for greater ambient awareness, and this now has become like a feature we expect in high-end headphones. We want this.
We need this tapping the speaker button on your app allows you to transform your headphones into a portable speaker. It’S a nice little touch, i mean the teenagers in the cafeteria. Well, they might have a cool product here. Let’S leave it in blend mode and we’ll go find some tunes.
That’S step, one we’re gon na listen to some music. Can i do 60 soul? Is that all right with you i’ll get there they’re way better than earbuds fine? They sound way better than airpods. Like way better than airpods, it’s a bigger speaker right. I, like you, know i like technology, you know every so often yeah. I sit over here this and that and then this comes along and i’m like yeah headphones, they’re not done yet either nothing’s done. Yet everything can be improved.
Almost everything can be rethought. We can think of this differently and i’m having a different experience right now. Let me just okay, so other gestures, volume, yeah volume.
Okay, that works. Let’S go next, nice track! Oh, i don’t know guys, i’m feeling something i’m having i’m having something happen here, i’m tingling it might be sam cook. I don’t know it might be.
The fact that i feel unencumbered by any devices like i feel i feel like. I could bob and weave a long time coming, but i know i don’t know that they’re gon na be for everyone. For me this is not bothersome at all. I do feel them on top of the ear.
Could they be even more invisible? Could they be even lighter? Maybe is it the hybrid they were aiming at? I think it is. We got around the world. Remember that song, that is some old school. That’S thick, that’s thick sounds good man.
It’S got bass to it. I mean there’s bass there. Oh, we got ta do speaker mode real, quick, clasp, headphones together to enable speaker, okay boom, speaker, sweet what that’s it. They know that they’re in speaker mode now to it’s important, to note that there’s nothing official about these [ Laughter, ], the smartphone speaker, is just as good as that.
It doesn’t sound that good. That’S that’s kind of weird! I think that was one of those bonus elements where they just wanted to be like, and it can do to make it difficult for me and my company to continue to do business. The way that i’m doing it, i have to start to look at alternative traffic. It sounds like a smartphone speaker guys.
That’S not why you’re buying this that shouldn’t be why you’re buying this don’t expect you’re getting like legit bluetooth, speaker performance out of it. It’S just. You could use it like that in a pinch, the translator – i don’t know how many people are gon na – be buying this for that purpose anyway, here we’re gon na showcase, we’re gon na see if it’s right, or not here, english, to spanish, hello, i’m hungry i’d, Like to find a restaurant, most importantly, i’m looking for a grilled cheese sandwich, i’m hearing spanish in my ear right now: hambriento de gustaria, [, Laughter, ], hungry you’d, like it french to english. Just we fatty gay yeah.
I am tired, so that could be cool. It works is this product, the future of all headphones? I don’t know not immediately. It takes time, it’s expensive, it’s different and how many people are gon na. Take a chance on something.
That’S this different you’ll, probably be surprised at the audio performance. You’Ll probably be surprised at what they’re capable of delivering at this form factor. Of course, it’s not all rosy.
This goes over the ear i’m noticing right now, for example, my ears are heated up a bit because they’re completely covered right when you have these on. That. Does not happen with an earbud, airpod and so forth. From that standpoint, i think it will find an audience, but it’s going to take time to replace the more standard, headphone earbud models from a charging perspective. That is crazy, simple.
As far as we’re concerned, you’re not fiddling around with any connectors, which can be a headache, it feels futuristic because of all the magnets in play and the smoothness of it it’ll go on there either way. There’S some cool people at this company, even if it’s just from a design perspective, it’s a lot of thought that has to go into a product like this a lot of drawings. I mean i appreciate the work for a form factor, that’s so unusual and i have to say of course it’s only been one session at this point, but i’m impressed so far.
