Best Headphone Roundup: Bluetooth + Wireless!

2015-12-09
this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by harry's oh man let's see the music is easily one of my favorite things to do whether I'm just laying out in the grass barbecuing whatever it is especially out here in Southern California it's always nice outside so whether you just want to be convenient at your desk or you're really into running or all kinds of other outdoor activities wireless headphones really kind of matter especially with Bluetooth as low-energy as it is today so I figured why not share with you some of my favorite wireless headsets that I've been using as of late so I thought we would start with these guys these are the mpow Swift's they retail for about 20 22 bucks you can get them on Amazon in fact you can even get them for significantly less niven are in turn got these for 10 dollars on Amazon on a sale with these you get a surprising bit you get multiple silicon tips you get quite a few fins to fit to your ear these actually go up in the if you've never seen this before in the groove of your ear to keep them in they're intended for some more active stuff they're 10 bucks they sound better than they kind of have any right to at that price point but they're still not amazing you know that you're getting what you pay for they're not the most comfortable they kind of hurt a little bit after you've had them in for a while and like I said those silicone tips they just don't really do it I don't know about you guys but I have some weirder ears so things don't tend to fit particularly well all the time so that's a big thing for me but at 10 20 bucks can you really complain probably not let's go to something a little bit more little beefier something a little bit more for your entire head not just your ears these are the editors keys Bluetooth wireless headphones these are anywhere between 40 or 50 bucks on the higher end of MSRP is 50 bucks so you can definitely find them all the way down to 40 there they're surprisingly surly built it's kind of a very utilitarian feel they kind of swivel and move in just the right places but and it feels stiff enough but flexible enough that you're kind of at the price point you feel like you're getting something for your buck and the sound is actually really surprisingly full these also charge via micro USB in fact all of the charge me a microUSB sometime gonna bring that up again but they sound good better than they should for the price point and considering the build quality it left me wondering where they cut the corners so if you're familiar with wireless headphones I'm sure you know when you connect to a device you get a chime or or a woman telling you that it's connected whatever sounds they decided to go with for these they must not have licensed an expensive set of sounds because they're loud and they're really low fidelity and they're really annoying whether you're just turning up the volume or reconnecting to your computer after having rebooted it but for the price it's hard to argue with them they sound pretty darn good next up we're gonna stay with the headphone situation these big mamak Amma's are the Sennheiser urbanite XL Wireless now these suckers are incredibly comfortable they sound fantastic nice deep rich bass good mids clear highs there are fantastic pair of headphones and they're wireless bluetooth really really good stuff amazing amazing range you can I can walk all the way from my desk which is on one end of the office all the way into the studio grab something and come all the way back to my desk and still be connected listening to my music or whatever video I'm cutting for you guys at the time major major quibble with these major major global this these are all the buttons it's a touchpad tap to play pause swipe up and down for volume side to side for forward and back that seems really cool on paper and more than one manufacturer is doing it it's not just you Sennheiser but it's more annoying than it is helpful just give me some really nice physical buttons I don't need a touchpad on my headset I just really really don't because you know what when you go to put your headphones on what are you doing you're touching them so your palm touches it and it opens up iTunes by default and you see I even just did something on them it says she just yelled at me for doing something it's not a fun experience to constantly have to close iTunes when I'm in the middle of editing something so finally my favorite headphones of all time usually the jaybird X twos these are the successor to their incredibly popular blue buds x from a few years ago and there are essentially the same therefore the are pretty unchanged with a handful of changes to the internals they do sound a little bit richer the basses sound a little bit richer to me and the highs sound a lot clearer on these than they used to but that might also be a factor of the tips the old tips were silicone not terribly comfortable I had to buy a pair of comply foam tips to finally be able to get them to stay in my ear reliably luckily the x2 is actually come bundled with the comply foam tips which is a really big deal considering the price point has stayed at the standard 180 for their wireless headphones from jaybird I love these things not only have they nailed it with comfort but they are incredibly versatile as well so you get multiple sizes of the tips you get multiple sizes of the fins to keep them in your ears you get a set of clips for your wire to normally you can wear them like this if that's what you want to do but for me I much prefer to use the clips to keep the wires nice and tidy go around the back of your head put them in and you're good to go and now all your controls actually hang out right here against your head with the buttons facing outward - it's a fantastic fantastically comfortable pair of headphones to wear especially I wear them when I'm working out there's sweat resistant and the battery life is much much better than they were on the previous model I think you get about four hours more of playtime out of these so I get one charge I get a week's worth of use out of them I charge about once a week and these are just easily my favorite pair of headphones that no they did not pay me to say that anyway let me know what you guys think about these if you've used them before if you're in the market right now if you have any more questions about them let me know I'll keep an eye on the comments as I do in all of my videos make sure you could also reach out to me on Twitter if that's easier for you at mark and B otherwise I'll catch you in the next video be kind to one another and good bye so I was finally able to actually use some of Harry's products they were kind enough to send us an entire kit took him home last night recorded myself doing it for you guys so you could see me actually doing it and you know what I actually really really enjoyed it it's a great price for what you get in the box you get a really really nice face wash which is actually exfoliating which I did quite enjoy you get some shaving cream you get the nice razor with quite a few blades in there and honestly a phenomenal handle and my favorite part of the entire thing was that aftershave lotion it's really nice and thick and it works really really nice and I was I was really really happy to see I got literally zero razor burn so if that's something that you're interested in you can head over to harrys.com you sicko TechnoBuffalo for five dollars off which is a really good price especially since
