What headphones, audio devices work without the headphone jack? (Open_Tab)

2016-09-20
so let's start off with them some examples for the headsets that you guys have tried out what I want some headphones that are like on the lower end a little more affordable that would be compatible compatible with a phone like the iphone 7 or the Moto Z that doesn't have a headphone jack but it's still wireless and would be easily able to connect to multiple devices David's been testing a lotta well this one this one I just got yesterday it's just coming out now from from ifrogz it's a sports headphone its water resistant has a little magnet so you clip it onto your shirt and it gets better a little bit better it gets better battery life because it you can put everything here so gets about 10 hours of battery life and then you you would either clip it onto your shirt so hope my stay secure that way i can t shirt and then you put it you know you then you put it in your ears and they fit pretty well they're lightweight $35 you might seem pretty good even a little bit cheaper um they sell they sound pretty decent so i think um there's going to be a ton of these types of headphones hitting the market you're talking about 25 $35 there's already a bunch of Chinese wireless headphones out there these are the ifrogz summit it's a sports model they also ifrogz has a bunch of other ones they sell a lot of headphones in the you know Walmart the drug stores you'll see these cheap head they sell a lot of cheap headphones in places you you know not best buy not the apple store so these are going to actually start sounding okay and work pretty well for very little money I think the advantage of some of the other ones that David brought to he brought the dash here by braggy and that's version 1 they have a second version coming out pretty soon too but the advantage to get by not buying the air buds is that a lot of these third-party manufacturers have wireless earbuds that also do more than just listen to music these also have fitness features built-in right yeah there's n the higher end then these are three hundred dollar yes yes for cheap ones I give him some cheap ones but they're these actually fit really well and with the issue with Bragi there's a German company when it first came out the some of the features didn't work so well they didn't they weren't staying connected well and they roggies come out with a series of software updates and now they're good uh so and then they're coming out with a less expensive model just called the headphone they start on Kickstarter yeah I mean they're there this this took a while to come out and if you know there were delays but it is now a very good truly wireless headphone the other one I've been playing around with is this company called Erato and they make these muds here I put the wings on them they're also totally wireless then these are totally wireless and they fit they fit well and you're the key again is they stay the wireless connection between them is reliable they stay connected they sound pretty good and they'll stay in your ears and they slip into this case and i haven't lost yet i've been using for a couple weeks and then you just jam it in and this is also it these these come with their own charging cases like the apple so there's power inside of the case as well it has a battery and it can charge it a few controls you said to these a lot of these headphones are only about three to four hours of battery life but when you put them in the case they start charging they turn off automatically pull them out these actually have a little control on me on the bud themselves and then there's that one of the original ones also was these another company called ear in I reminds you of the men in black camera we're gonna flash it extrapolate enca that so those are earbuds you pull out yeah and this is a swedish company i believe this does not have a microphone in at the both of Bragi and the arado have a microphone for making calls but this one hasn't gotten as good reviews but it definitely has a sleek design and if it my ears and it's it's probably going to come down in price a lot of these because of the air pods you know these were these are two 279 dollar all our headphones but with the air pods I would suspect they'll start having to come down more towards $200 some of the premium models but they're that the most important thing is basically that they stay connected to your phone and the buds themselves staking it don't drop out there with Bluetooth you Zoe you're always going to get some dropouts the brog ease use a new job we're coming out use actually some a technology that is found in hearing aids that communication that doesn't they the actual connection between the buds as a magnetic connection is not via bluetooth so there's some point we're trying to figure out how Apple is doing its connection to the iphone they made they may be doubling up on the Bluetooth connection for each but some of these headphones are using actually hearing aid technology to make them work do you find the ones that come in cases they fit well in our pockets i picked it up says it's sort of like the size of a lighter in a way a little thicker than that yeah it def amin i was a little worried it was gonna slide out if I was in a cab or something like it out and I dropped on the floor I'm grabbing it it was definitely a little slippery roggies pretty big i don't know if people yeah this is that in your pocket all the time yeah that's that's that's a you know definite first gen product but i suspect the their new model which i don't really like the name the headphone way to compare it to this other one and then here is an iphone 6s plus that we happen to have on set it's pretty pretty chunky if you had these like lined up in your pocket but they were coming in all different shapes and sizes yeah i mean i mean obviously the case also one would assume would have a bigger battery and if it's a little bit heavier so you know I think you'll see it coming all all shapes and sizes and just inform a couple of heads up that you headsets you tried out I actually wanted to show this one off it's not wireless at all but this is another way to put really good quality sound from your iphone 7 even though it doesn't have a headphone jack obviously d three-and-a-half millimeter to lightning dongle comes in the box but if you want to bypass the DAC inside the phone and get really good quality sound out of your iphone 7 you can buy this it's by a company called audioquest it's called the dragonfly it's about the size of a USB key and when you pop off the cap hear what you have to do is buy this it's a hundred bucks but then if you plug this into another adapter which is the iphone camera adapter it's lightning to USB plug this into there is that this has a I think that was thirty bucks cod bought it this week and it has a headphone jack on the other side and when you combine those you get a slightly larger dongle than you know what you would get with that but i think the audio benefits are excellent you convert it to 24 bit it's a saber DAC inside of this thing it's really small and compact so for the audio files out there that still want to output really good sound from your iphone 7 i think this is the best solution there are there are also smaller versions of that a lightning cable with it a smaller DAC in it so that that's a little bit clunky dunno there's actually a lot smaller than most of the headphone amps that you have to bring around a lot of them no but not the vid eyes and put its alien bone and they come with a rubber band that you have to attach the back of it so if you're looking for a portable note i would i would leave the room now and get the 1i have them on my desk it's a Kickstarter but it basically I think it's called I amp but it's the amp is built into the remote control yeah notice the small it's a smaller I just think when you start having you know that's actually design to plug into your laptop is right right it's sort of a hack that me and ty put together for the iphones so there was there will be other deck and some companies are already have lightning cables for their headphones but i think that we will see all kinds of accessories
