we live with that yeah okay all right buffers are we live now yeah okay we obviously still have no idea what we're doing but hello everybody and welcome to another live unboxing if you're new here this is a series where I unbox a product live and obviously I'm still trying to iron out the kinks I don't know what I'm doing but I do this series because there have been times where I've been completely blown away or disappointed the first time I unboxed the product case in point the Microsoft Surface headphones I was very mm when I unboxed these headphones on Wednesday and now that I've been using these headphones for a few days I'm still very on these headphones I don't love them I don't hate them I'm still very neutral on them but I still have it I'm gonna continue using them for the next few days before I make a final decision on them but yeah right now I'm very mmmm with these headphones so far for today's victim we actually have the AKG and 700 NC now these headphones were announced alongside these headphones with Sony 1000 XM 3 s if you watch the channel you know absolutely love these headphones but for some reason these headphones haven't gotten too much love from the press I haven't seen too many other people review these headphones I haven't seen too many commercials on these headphones the only time I've seen these headphones in a commercial is during that Samsung commercial where you got the girl and she's playing on on some Galaxy Tab and then her mom comes in and she goes hey you're gaming store wants to sponsor you if you look closely that girl is actually wearing these headphones but they don't make any mention of them and AKG is kind of like Samsung Samsung's version of Beats they bought this company and now whenever they sell like a note 9 or a Galaxy S 9 or whatever ideally they would like you to use their phone with these headphones so who knows maybe everybody's just sleeping on these headphones these headphones could be or maybe learn nut but I'm gonna tell you right now from the box these things feel very sturdy I mean here's the front and there's the back and also this thing also won a best product award at E I say if your mother in the convention so again very very curious to see as to why these headphones even though box feels good they've got an award they were announced alongside the Sony 1000x and threes we haven't really seen too much about these headphones now also afford this livestream like I said we're gonna be switching it up a little bit we're gonna be talking about cyber monday deals and I actually have a subscriber question concerning cyber monday and that question was what deals would you actually avoid this whole you know holiday season we just wrapped up Black Friday deals week now we're going into cyber monday deals week there are good deals still going on deals that I still recommend you pick up but there are still also some other deals that I see and I go I would avoid those so yeah we've got any questions in the comments now what's going on in the comments out it highly highly highly doubt it I highly doubt the cross or three cities go on so and actually that reminds me if you you know if your subscriber and you saw the post the Sony xb9 fifty n ones are back on sale for like $118 now that's 50% off unfortunately so so if if you've been like on the fence about picking those headphones up i would pick them up now because they're 50% off but again i really do think it's highly likely that we're gonna see a new version of those cell phones at CES 2019 again sony you guys are gonna fly me out i'll be more than happy to go over there and cover those headphones for you so yeah i think we're gonna see a new version of the XP 950 n ones but if you want them for 50% off that's a really good deal and actually going off with tangen off of that the sony watch 700 n you know I really like these headphones really good budget headphones their build quality yeah isn't isn't amazing but their features their performance technology they're great these are still going on for these are still on sale for 98 bucks but they're temporarily are out of stock over at Amazon I think you can still pick them up and then once they Amazon gets them in stock they'll send them out but definitely if you haven't picked these up yet these are going for 50% off this is a solid deal and you know that actually segues into one of my cyber monday deals that I would avoid these JBL 65 BT NC headphones those headphones or 200 'allah headphones but they're currently on sale for 98 dollars as well I would actually personally avoid those headphones they're not the most comfortable headphones out there mainly because of their fork design they don't actually have a fork they have like there's one yoke thing going on the range of movement for their ear cups isn't as good so they do apply a bit of pressure on the anterior portion of my ear they're not the most comfortable and they're ANC does have a lots of cabin pressure so personally I would avoid those I would pick these up and also you know just staying on that topic these Sennheiser 4.50 BTN C's I really really like those headphones those headphones even though they don't perform as well as these they look much better their build quality is much better during prime day they went on sale for 98 bucks they were you know neck-and-neck with these now there are only going there they haven't hit the 98 dollar mark they're going for $130 I think they will be going on sale sometime between now in cyber monday 298 dollars I do think it's highly likely but if they don't $130 for those headphones it is still a pretty decent price because again you're going down from $200 and you know just wrapping up one last pair of headphones something that I also saw you know during the whole event and whatnot the Sony 1000 XM twos these bad boys were on sale for $200 that was a good deal because in comparison the bose qc25 series 2 which were released around the same time you know like a few weeks before or after these headphones those headphones are only going for $50 off so $300 so if you guys scoop these up let me know in the comments below because they were going for $200 they're back up to 300 but again cuz of cyber monday I really do think these headphones will be going back on sale for about two hundred dollar price price mark we got to know the question going on or can we go what do you mean like completely wireless or wireless personally I'm not the biggest fan of truly wireless earbuds the only truly Wireless here but I do like or the air pods because those from day one have been foolproof now truly wireless earbuds have been improving recently so definitely I will be giving those type of headphones those types of products another another chance I'm actually going to be reviewing the Sennheiser truly wireless earbuds they they recently just went on sale but you know right now unless is for me unless his ear pods it it's a bust but I think the Bose sound sport free or down to like 160 and you know when those first came out there was the core going for like 250 then they went on sale for late you know Bose reduced the price to like 200 now they're going for like 150 even though they're bulky they do perform pretty well but again I'm not the biggest fan of truly Wireless year but personally unless its ear pods and you know when I use ear pods I'm network of the mic when I when I use ear pods I don't use them to like listen to music I use them whenever I'm out and I'm going to be consuming a podcast or something I use that to listen to podcast I use them to take phone calls ask Siri to do things if she's competent enough but I'm not the biggest fan of truly wireless earbuds that's why you know I have such a big focus on headphones so we go to wicking into the unboxing flip the camera around flip the camera around man alright so during is the livestream on Wednesday I actually thought it was highly unlikely that the JBL charge for was to be going on sale because those that speaker when I retail is for $150 right now I think it's on sale for like $130 super jealous because you know I picked that I picked that speaker up a few weeks ago for 150 now it's going for 130 also the boombox is going for like 380 or 390 the extreme to get a close one the extreme to the extremes who's going on sale for like 250 I actually released the video last yesterday featuring is that that speaker against the Marshall Kilburn tree which is also on sale for like 250 oh the flip for actually got a close-up on though on the red one the little red one the flip for that guy is on sale for like sixty four sixty dollars I think $70 that's a good that's a good price even though I'm not the biggest fan of JBL headphones in general I'm a really big a fan of their speakers and the pulse 3 get a close-up on the post 3 is that the one of the lights okay now you know that guy is on sale for 120 but just keep in mind the polls 3 is just a slightly souped up flip for with a very nice life feature but if you're looking for speakers definitely definitely JBL is the way to go and actually cameraman get me the extreme one over there in the corner I've actually been if you want move the box I've actually Oh careful with Rick okay oh you just killed Rick god no okay so I've actually been getting a lot of questions about the extreme one the extreme one is going on is on sale for a hundred and fifty dollars that's 50% off from its original retail price from when it was new but now the extreme two is out that speakers going for about two hundred dollars I would only pick up the extreme one if you have absolutely no plans on picking up any other speakers in the future you think the safer investment right now would be to pick something up that has JBL connect plus because who knows maybe in the summer you say hey I want to pick up another JBL speaker but if you pick up the extreme one you I'm gonna be able to connect any other speakers because the extreme one is never going to have JBL connect plus because of hardware limitations whereas if you wanna right now I would actually highly recommend you guys pick up the charge three because I think the charge three is on sale for like 90 bucks there isn't a big difference between the charge three and the charge form and the charge three actually has a firmware update available for it to have JBL connect plus now if so if so whenever I do my reviews I can actually hook up the post three extreme to flip for charge for boombox all up to the charge three because it has that JBL connect plus firmware update so again longevity-wise longevity-wise I think it's it's it's it would be better to avoid the extreme one and pick up the charge three or the charge for just because if you you have the option of being able to get more speakers in in the future and that's and that's kind of your command to me man this is awesome okay and that's kind of why I gave the wind to the extreme to in yes in yesterday's video over the marshal Kilburn - I actually really like that speaker and it's an I'm a really big fan of its design and if you haven't noticed by now I'm a really big stickler for design but since the marshal - you can't pair it up and not marshal - since the kilburn - since you can't pair it up to other speakers in the future you're dropping $300 on a speaker you know you can't go out and pick up let's say a $70 speaker like the flip for and pair it up to your extreme - so I think longevity-wise having that ability to connect other speakers together is kind of what gave the extreme to the wind but the marshal Kilburn - has better battery life than the extreme - has more bass so there's a lot to like about the extra about the marshal Kilburn - but you got to know what you're getting into so i think that answered the question very well yeah alright so shouldn't be snapping next to the mic so let's gonna get into the headphones now huh I don't know about Samsung but guys I these headphones last Saturday and I paid for the expedited shipping and Samsung said we'd get the expedited shipping and we'll have this over to you by Tuesday these iPhones didn't arrive until Friday so I don't know and you know the thing is I'm not I'm not it's not a FedEx or UPS problem it's Samsung didn't even ship these headphones out until Tuesday they didn't ship out from the warehouse so okay well then wait so if we're doing like this note hold on I just don't want to I just don't want to open it upside down hold on okay so we're gonna do the reveal you ready ready one two three Oh oh that's a very nice case and this case is very similar to to the 1000x and threes but I can already tell these are some big boys hold on hold on let's get this thing out here okay so they both have just like the Microsoft Surface headphones they all have a fabric outer shell if we give me give me like a Down shot here this guy is way thicker whereas this is much more low-profile and the Microsoft Surface these this is more wedge but you know has a larger surface area but the texture on this is much more it's much more raised it's you can definitely feel the fabric you but there's some very nice branding up here look at that not bad not bad you know I can live with that I kind of like the blank look here but all right so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up see if these are worthy of that if design Oh huh hmm yeah these are bulky but they do fold up lightweight they look like metal but they're not oh wow they're click there and this and that's very lightweight these actually look very similar to the JBL Everest elite 750 and see and okay oh this this these ear cups there's a lot of friction I guess it takes a lot of effort to actually turn these see if that breaks and tension yeah hmm these year cups are looking pretty narrow these yeah this this is this looks to me like a rebodied JBL Everest elite 750 and see and you know like I said earlier JBL I love their speakers the headphones on the other hand could use some work which was left which is right do they is there a thing oh there it is no no because I'm used to like having two things over here okay so we got the things here but actually check these buttons out I actually really like these buttons that very quickly very tactile very nice let me see what we got okay oh come on come on that's a micro that's a micro USB port camera man get my face if your product is coming out in late 2018 basically 2019 we want to see USB see charging come on and also the charge for again Samsung owns AKG Samsung's owns Harman Samsung owns JBL I don't get why these headphones came came with USB see charger because again keep in mind every time Samsung sells a Galaxy whatever they would ideally like you to purchase their headphones so why would their phones have a USB see charging towards but not their headphones their headphones has a micro USB charging port and I remember when there would be studio threes when those first came out that was you know that was one of the biggest like what the heck why do do the Beats Studio threes have Micro USB not on now the Lightning port light my iPhone so hmm that sucks all right so let's go okay oh okay so let's put this out of sick actually what does that a seven that's my lucky number seven okay so we're gonna try these guys on for the first time see if they are big had approved I'm very iffy on these all right that's kind of weird okay all right okay okay no um I don't they're not bad you're not that they have a very little clamping force which is something which is something that now that I've been using the Microsoft Surface headphones for a while now these headphones have a very very snug fit you're not they're not uncomfortable like the Bauer's and welcomes px but these guys these guys do you have a very snug fit so you know for me if you have a bigger head these aren't too good for me right now but the clamping force on these is very similar to the clamping force on these now the ear cups they are actually doing a very good job of cupping your ear they're not too big that's one of the things about the bose qc25 series to their ear cups are very big they're very spacious but for me since my ears aren't that big they are they're too big so so this is kind of that happy medium that these ear cups or more are they more spacious than the 1000x m3 is that's yeah a little bit they're a little bit more spacious than the 1000x entries it definitely gave me more spacious than the question 360s but but you know this is this ear cups feeling good feeling good so all right look at that I think is this Alcantar it looks like Alcantara on the bottom side that's a that's definitely a play a play out of both boses design right there that's one of the things you know make them cool they have a little bit of Alcantara bottom portion over the ear cup of the headband it's not a big deal it's nice but yeah alright we got a new the questions going on there or what alright guys so let's see do we have actually we can hook it up to this father hold on sure so yep still getting used to using the older iPhone again bluetooth on let's see how do you think oh it's a little sweat school Oh okay so the anc just kicked in and you can really feel it okay actually say something something we're not doing this again recites a meme the story of Darth Plagueis the wise gulp no that's like that's the ending I need you to do the whole thing I forgot you know I hear guys have yeah Jedi ever told you the story of Darth Plagueis the wise and Anakin guys no no and then star Sirius goes and then it's like sinister the sinister joining me alright um hmm okay so and see on these headphones oh these headphones without a doubt have more cabin pressure then the bose qc25 and that's one of the reasons why you know even though they're very comfortable there are their build quality is very very good for me they're built their their cabin pressure is just too much and this I don't know if you saw it on the camera but once once these powered on it hit me like a truck and oh this is this is this is too much cabin pressure oh man how long that we go on has the last room been going to find you 22 minutes okay so I think we're gonna wrap up there because you know I'm not gonna do like a sound test or or whatever but well actually you know don't we have accessories in here or something let's hold on okay so there's like a little net in here and okay so this is only going to fit the headphones one went okay okay so they do fold flat I think I guess why okay well no wait how do you put this away is there like this or is it like that what yeah okay I think that looks right all right I think I guess I know why I had these headphones haven't been very popular because that a inseam is just way way too much I mean one of them just like some people whenever they review their phones mkbhd for a reason for for example he says that he has his pillars as to what makes a great smartphone for me you know I'm trying to develop my own pillars as to what makes a great pair of headphones number one is going to be fit and comfort if your if your headphones don't fit well then you're not gonna want to wear them you got a big head that's why I do the whole big head of proof thing because you know I got guys who are cranially gifted and you know headphones can be a little harder to buy for them especially over there over the Internet's so yeah definitely comfort is something that I do always stress another thing is going to be the sound quality you don't want the base to sputter whenever the base is really going on and that's one of the issues I'm having with the Microsoft Surface headphones if the base on these do like to sputter whenever it gets deep or whenever whenever it gets going or whenever you know if the volume is too up high the base on these does start to sputter sputtering base is acceptable for like a $200 pair of headphones and down buffer $350 I don't want any sputtering in my in my headphones so that's one and that's another issue that I'm definitely gonna be talking about in the full review for these so yeah sound quality is butter if they're NC headphones I'm always always definitely looking for headphones that I have a little bit of cat the less cabin pressure the better now all a NC headphones have to be able to block out constant low-frequency sounds like whenever you're on a bus and you hear the constant or an or in an airplane those constant low frequency sounds ANC headphones better better be able to block that out and then if if they're able to block out chatter then that's kind of like a step up for ANC headphones that's why I've always liked the 1000 X and choose so much over the Bose QC 35 s these both of those headphones are able to block out the low-frequency sounds but when it comes to chatter the M choose do do a little better of blocking out those random high frequency sounds Evander Bose and then and and and you know it does it with having less cabin pressure than the Bose and then the M threes does all all of that but a little bit more with you know with the same amount of low cabin pressure so those are definitely the pillars that I look for and then now battery life I'm looking for like a 25 hour or plus battery life fast charging is always nice and I also want my headphones to be able to pair our multiple devices at the same time something that the Sony headphones just don't do I mean technically you can get it to work but it's not it's not it's not like full if that makes sense it's it's kind of like watered down so yeah those are the pillars I look for right now first impressions I can tell you these guys just completely failed on those I'm gonna have to do the ANC test see how much noise are actually blocking out but there's there's a lot of cabin pressure here way more than the bose qc25 s I would expect this amount of cabin pressure from like a pair of headphones from like 2015 V these don't have too much cabin pressure but the hell so are they blocking out too much noise but again I gotta get the the the ANC test going so we can get like an actual look at how much noise these headphones are actually blocking out now before we head out let's actually have a look at the cables actually you're getting a pair of this is not this is nice this is nice okay so you're actually getting a pair of braided cables you got an airplane adapter alright there's that oh actually that reminds I don't think these came with an airplane adapter but airplane adapters they don't really matter because the reason why airplanes have two sockets is because of redundancy if one breaks then you can just use the other one and then that way the company doesn't have to pay to like repair or replace the whole chair so so airplane adapters isn't a big deal you'll be fine if you just have one audio jack and here is the audio cable and yes yes thank you we have a good quality audio cable like I said yesterday like I've said in past videos ah 2.5 No all right whatever all right so like so it's a 3.5 millimeter audio cable but a 2.5 for the headphones this is the same set of the bose qc25 s has going personally I would prefer if they have 3.5 and 3.5 but it's whatever but unlike the 1000 X and threes unlike the Microsoft Surface headphones unlike the bose qc25 s this audio cable is actually nice as long is braided feels like quality I like this and there's also a little built-in remotes so oh and actually that makes sense because the Samsung phones actually still have an audio cable okay all right Sam Samsung I see what you did there that that's a good idea all right but other than that do we have any questions in the comments I was thinking about it but those guys are like $600 so so first I have to wrap up with these headphones and then get to the Sennheiser headphones maybe I'll get to those headphones because $600 for a pair of headphones is a lot but those are you know like normal ANC headphones you know these are all $350 those are $600 but those are more for like entertainment so you use them at home but I think those are like marketed as you can use them at home or take them on the go so I'll probably get to those maybe in a few weeks and maybe next month or something but right now I think priority is going to be the 1000x and my three versus the Microsoft Surface headphones versus the AKG and 700 and C's you know there's going to be a video where I'm not going to be comparing my favorite agency headphones I'm gonna be comparing the top know the newly released agency headphones for 2018 so that video isn't gonna have the Bose QC 35 s or the Sennheiser pxc 5 fifties just because those headphones aren't much older so I don't think it would be fair these are for the boys that have been released in 2018 and you know what speaking about the son has is there a px c5 50s those are also I think those are on sale for like 50 bucks not 50 bucks I think those are on sale for for $200 I think they're going up against the 1000 X 7 threes those headphones I think they're like two years or two years that are half old there they're there they're definitely pretty old compared to a lot of other headphones yeah yeah they're yeah they're going for $200 if I had to pick yeah 200 hours if I had to pick between the P XE 550 and C's or the Sony 1000 X M two's for $200 because even though the M 2 s or back to like $300 I really do think they're gonna go back on sale on Cyber Monday I would go with the Sony's over the Sennheiser's because the Sony's are still a little newer than the P XE 5 50s and I really do think we're going to see a we have to we have to because the AMC market is just so hot we had really do think we're gonna see a new version of the P XE 5 50s at CES 2009 teen I mean sennheiser and Bo's are definitely starting to fall behind the pack because everybody is the headphone agency headphones right now it is pretty hot or pretty hot so so I definitely think we're gonna see a new Sennheiser headphones from that end so other than that or we got alright guys so again happy belated they giving thank you guys for joining me and again I'm gonna be active on the post trying to tell you guys about any deals that I think you guys should pick up but other than that guys thank you guys for watching see you guys later
