Budget Lightning Headphones: Worth It?

2016-07-31
what's going on guys Ron pray to hear from TechnoBuffalo and if you saw our video a couple days earlier we got an iPhone 7 dummy unit and one of the rumors that's been floating around has been taking off the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack now people are feeling all types of ways about this I'm not really gonna express my emotions about it but more importantly lightning headphones have been popping up all over the place and in general they've been pretty expensive but we wanted to find was an affordable pair of lightning headphones or more affordable and reviewed them and let you guys know what we thought so let's go ahead and get started so the pair we're looking at today are the bright tech Apple MFI approved pure Lightning earphones very long name you can get them for about 50 dollars on Amazon so they're not the cheapest headphones in the world but they are cheaper compared to other Lightning headphones so out of the box with build quality I can't really complain about these headphones that come to flatten on tangled cables so that's good the headphones themselves fit pretty nicely in your years however they're not that great for running or something because they will fall out if you move too much I did notice however the control talk was rather large but that's because that's where the DAC is going to be one of the advantages of having lightning over 3.5 millimeter audio now in terms of actually listening to music my experience was pretty varied and very interesting with these headphones I first started off using title to get high 500 and it sounded horrible it sounded incredibly tinny there was no bass I don't know why but once we switched to Apple music and Spotify the headphone sounded way better and they sounded how I expected them to sound much fuller with a good frequency response still not that much kick on the low-end but much better than when we first listened to them as we continue to test the headphones I just came to realize that it had nothing to do with title it just had to do with the headphones themselves they were super inconsistent with their sound profile sometimes it would have bass sometimes it would have none it would be super tinny another weird quirk and knock against these headphones is that when you plug in the Lightning port it doesn't always work meaning that you'll be playing music and sometimes the music will just play out loud it takes a couple times of plugging it unplugging it flipping the lightning cable around upside down back and forth before it actually starts working super annoying to deal with and that's really it for these headphones guys unfortunately very disappointing given that they didn't work half the time for various reasons whether it was audio playback or just the lightning cable itself not firing audio through it let me know what you guys think in the comments down below very curious to hear what you guys have to say give us a thumbs up if you like this video and I'll see you guys in the next one thank you so much for watching
