How To Waste $973.18 in Japan...

2018-05-12
hey guys this is austin and welcome to a very special edition of mystery tech this time entirely focused on items that can waste our money on straight from japan curvy headphones okay i merely appreciate the old-school pixel art style wait it's 5,000 yen how much is five thousand yen sixty-two cents okay that's that's a bed so you guys didn't know ken goes to japan every once in a while and by everyone why i mean like every weekend Wow oh it's actually like hard plastic they're awfully hollow like I feel like I hear like you know like when you put your ear up to like a seashell or something that's kind of it sounds like the happy wearing these headphones not great okay look they're cool for 45 bucks I don't know but I'm even really into Kirby just don't use them as headphones Oh more headphones the xperia ear duo Wireless open air stereo headsets music and communication while listening to the surrounding sound enjoy closed the ears your own tube design men nothing says weird tech from Japan like Sony so I guess the idea here is that these are supposed to be kind of like air pods so it looks like they're actually going to be completely independent and wireless how much is thirty thousand yen sometimes I regret giving Kenna company credit card generally speaking when it comes to tech it's not actually that weird when you go to different countries generally pretty much everyone has the same kind of stuff but if the Japan is always exception there's always this sort of extra weird stuff there that's a wise again that's a really bizarre setup so this is the actual headphone but I guess that's the sort of the opening for your ear oh so this actually isn't out in the US yet Oh interesting so this is a an exclusive some would say straight in Japan wait I should figure how to get them paired first okay oh you need an app okay so searching for devices make sure it's turned on how do you turn it on oh oh it's magnetic okay that actually makes it kind of cool one of the things I didn't like about the pixel buds was there was really kind of fiddly to be able to like real wine the cable around like that Oh oh yeah okay it's a little weird to get used to on how you actually supposed to do that but that feels pretty decent to me okay so I'm listening to music right now and it sounds decent it's not really particularly loud or rich sound but what's interesting is is that it's really not blocking any of my hearing so I can still hear everything just fine can say something yeah I can hear you completely fine so it's almost like kind of having like some background music it's not like listening to proper headphones sound quality is not going to be amazing they sound okay but it's not really for listening I can still hear everything around me right now this is a really interesting idea but I think it's not really correct call them headphones it's not really necessarily something like an ear pods competitor what this really is is a way of getting an assistant without actually being able to block out the rest of the world nice phone woah woah that's that's actually really cool so let's forget charges with some pogo pins on the back but it does accept a nano SIM as well as it has 3g tethering so if you want to use this in addition to say an actual smartphone you can woah that's it that's the whole phone are you serious okay so I saw the picture and I thought it's gonna be bigger than this that's the whole flow right there okay how much was this so 10,000 yen equals 91 United States dollars and four cents much more reasonable okay we're up we have contacts messages calls music voice memos Bluetooth alarm and settings let's do settings so I can see the tiny little text here I can also scroll down to type the message alright what's your number I mean I know there's weird tech out there but like the idea of having a phone that's this small it's cool and I think for some people if you want a backup phone I mean it does do hotspot in theory you can do stuff with Bluetooth I guess if you load music n via this micro USB adapter but man this is I'm not impressed I still understand how it runs Android though that makes zero sense to me why are you handing this switch really Japanese okay Japanese switch accessories got it a felt pouch for the switch it's mildly Japanese and weird but besides that actually it feels kinda nice so I dropped the switch inside and closed it no one can tell I'm carrying a switch where are you going with this oh I'm doing flashbacks to the connected desk or the port of desk or whatever that thing was it's just it's just a bendy thing I mean you know everyone's like the switch is so heavy it's so giant it's so difficult to you know using your hands because it is unwieldy and ridiculous so this is obviously the way to play and you know I actually have to say it's not crazy I feel like this is just kind of oh god what are we doing what is this a traditional Japanese fan but why does it say you a USB what this is the fan who's all there is to it alright so after a slightly long time of building this stupid fan let's actually plug it in and see what it does okay okay I put the goopy thing on the bottom it's like slime are you serious well I mean when you're vigorously Fanning yourself maybe you need a little bit of extra sticky action I'm gonna put this down and move on because this is getting really weird yo-yo you did not you did not this is not look at that is so legit it's still the original packaging I mean even though foam isn't that old so if you guys are not familiar this is an original Nintendo Famicom and I look at the games you got mother Excitebike Donkey Kong Rockman not Megaman ice climber and Super Mario Bros dude that is ah ah alright I'm excited now that is not what I expected to get today I can't believe you got one in the box like this looks like pristine packaging I won't the want to open it it's like it's too nice so if you guys are not familiar this is essentially the Japanese version of the NES so they actually did it it slightly differently looking but as far as the actual system itself it shouldn't be any different at all actually well I take the bag there were some slight differences as far as the controller right cuz it in the control I have a microphone on it so image quality not the best due to our terrible adapter situation but whatever oh oh oh no you don't know you don't know oh this is bad there we go alright Mario game did I really should know how to play better than I actually do oh come on come on come on come on no no you don't know Darien over here through here come on come on come on come on oh yeah that was dangerous oh well that was a terrible jump but the Famicom is real now yes is it basically the same thing isn't it yes pretty much is it way cooler though absolutely maybe you thought this was weird doesn't be sure to go check out the last episode of mystery Tech where we checked out some of the most bizarre cheap stuff we could find on Amazon anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
