hey guys the Austin and today I'm here with five smart phone gadgets you're probably gonna want to take a look at these are the Marshall mid ANC's and huge shout out to Marshall for sponsoring this video so one of the big advantages of the Marshall mid ANC headphones is active noise cancellation something that's due to the construction outside is very useful today so like I says the active noise cancellation the Bluetooth is going to be a big part of these headphones but if we flip it over we're also going to see some extra stuff that well I'll take a look at in a minute now if you'll noticed actually I haven't spent a ton of time with Marshall headphones now they look really nice but generally speaking Marshall is a company that's well more well known for their sort of crazy amps and cool guitar stuff actually I mean that's right I'm not wrong they're right ooh okay so the first thing we see is it actually surprisingly nice carrying pouch I can get it out of box yo that is actually seriously legit okay so these are going to be on your headphones as opposed to over yours so it's going to make them a little bit more small and easy to carry around but how this look and they feel really nice I mean they even got this sort of little brass logo here I mean you have a headphone jack but of course these do have bluetooth well these that you feel really nice so if you're like me and you're using a modern smartphone without a headphone jack the idea that these have Bluetooth built in is definitely going to be a nice addition and a topic that is also going to have apt X so some phones will support this and essentially what it's going to be is a higher bitrate and a better sounding Bluetooth connection but of course this will still will work with pretty much any kind of Bluetooth device that's really loud where's my active noise cancellation whoa whoa that's crazy it's like I'm putting my fingers in my ears like it just completely sucks out all the sounds so these are using custom 40 millimeter drivers and they actually sound more balanced than I thought so yes it is a bit of a richer sound and there's a fair bit of bass but it's really not at the expense of sort of sounding really scooped like a lot of headphones especially more hip-hop based headphones are um you know what I'm talking about these sound actually reasonably balanced more so than I actually expected so if you're looking for a pair of headphones that only have good style surprisingly really balanced sound as well as enough noise cancellation to drown out the construction behind me actually I would give the mid ANC's a try take it step outside and this is the perfect opportunity to show some of my other favorite accessories starting with rhino shield knee this will probably know them because they've sponsored videos in the past although they're not sponsoring this one at all but they do make some of my favourite cases and specifically bumpers on any phone out right now so this is the crash guard now this is what I use on my own personal phone and I've actually been using one of these for almost a year and a half now but essentially it doesn't give you full protection so the back of the phone is still going to be open however it does cover up pretty much all of the edges so if you drop it like this you really don't have to worry about it this is the way usually rocket however if you install the backplate you can then use the Rhino shield lenses and this is where the camera opportunities really do start to open up so if we move over to the pixel 2 which still holds the crown for the best smartphone camera in my opinion what we can do is well just try the lenses out so like a lot of these systems there's going to be a wide variety of lenses so right now I'm using the wide angle that's sniper shot you'll be able to see just how much wider this is versus using the standard pixel camera the only real issue is that when you're going this wide you are going to see a little bit of distortion but if you don't want to go quite so wide you can also pick up the HD version of the lens that's going to be a lot thicker and something going to be quite as wide but you're going to keep all that sharpness there are other options you get though including the macro lens which just unscrews I take a super super close-up shot of my camera here wow I didn't actually realize I had scratched my camera that much having a case that supports attachable lenses really is a super nice feature that yeah I definitely don't use these all the time most of the time the pixel camera by itself is going to be totally ok but it is cool to be able to get a little bit of a different field of view sometimes speaking of photos and video one of my favourite new gadgets is going to be the DJI Osmo 2 now they've been handheld gimbals especially for the phone for quite a while will make this little bit special is that the Osmo 2 is I should come down a lot in price this guy is not only going to cost $130 so expensive but compared to the last generation which I think was like double that this makes a big difference if you're not familiar with what a gimbal does essentially it is a handheld stabilizer so they start recording on the phone here what you're going to see is no matter how much I move around it's always going to stay stable so you can see I can move my hand and the camera basically stays in place and what this allows you to do is get some really cool shots so if I say do a little 360 surround of Ken get shot of those sweet shoes bring it straight up what you're getting here is a super smooth image no matter really kind of how much you shake it obviously you shouldn't run with something like this but if I kind of start walking backward it looks like the camera is basically just going to be completely steady so this is what footage looks like coming from the iPhone 10 in 4k on the Osmo 2 so even though I'm walking in Canada's segwaying and probably about to run into a tree you can see the footage still looks nice and smooth and why are you running away from me no don't no no no see look how smooth it is so now that we've switched over to shooting on the iPhone with the Osmo the next step is to make sure that all of our devices are going to be powered so that is where something like this comes in and of course there are tons of different battery banks that you can choose from but especially when you're going to be powering lots of stuff like a full-fledged camera so I like your iPhone and of course the Osmo needs to be charged as well something that this anchor power bank is going to be a huge help so what I like about the power core is it with 20,000 milliamp hours of capacity it's going to be plenty for our foam for stuff like the Osmo for stuff like the camera and on top of that we are going to be getting two full-size USB eight ports as well as USB C and so with that let's head back to the studio and finish up with the final item of this video listen Lee it's a little bit unusual but actually can be really helpful sometimes it's an HDMI adapter now on iphone it's going to be really simple it's just a very small the Lightning adapter however on Android you actually have a lot more options so it works pretty much exactly like you'd expect so you've got a full mirror on your display so if you want you can play a game together however some apps such as Netflix will support a full screen output there we go so we have the iPhone just basically acting as a controller we're going to be getting that full 1080p output here basically turning this into an Apple TV and this might seem crazy useful but it is nice to have one of these around in your if say for example you want to be able to use your phone to output video to a TV however on the Android side of things it's a little bit more exciting so thanks to the magic of USB see you can use things like this aki USBC hub now it's cool about this is that in addition to be able to obviously connect your device via USB see you get a ton of options you can charge it through this you get full size USB ports you're getting Ethernet you're getting HDMI you're even getting a micro SD as well as a full sized SD card reader now you should keep in mind that not all USB C devices are created equally so generally speaking most Android phones actually do a pretty good job of supporting most of the stuff on here but depending on your device something specifically stuff like the HDMI may or may not work so if I plug the USB hub in with a full-sized mouse and keyboard what I'm going to get is not only Mouse support that is going to be native inside Android or also going to have keyboard support we've got a write a new tweet and be like hey guys this is a terribly small desktop so I'm curious what is your favorite smartphone gadget let me know in the comments below and as always I'll have everything I talked about in this video including the Marshall mid anc headphones linked in the description anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
