Lost in LA (Breather + LSTN)

2016-04-30
what's up guys run pretty here from technobuffalo and I'm not sure if you guys have heard but there is a new app called breather out and it's not a new app period it's a new app to here in Los Angeles the idea is that you book of space you take an hour half an hour two hours out of your day you can work you can meditate you can relax you can catch a breath it's been released in New York and San Francisco for a while now and getting a rave reviews so when it came down lay I really wanted to try it out and use it as a spot to film changeup location and review these brand new listen headphone so it's two for one I also got to try the new app out let's go ahead and get started right out the gate the app was very well designed very simple clean intuitive no problems booking the space it took me like 30 seconds however it took me a lot longer than 30 seconds to actually find the space because breather gave me the wrong address let me explain the breather app told me to go to 8 45 south los angeles street but when looking at the map within the app it was pointing me to a complete different place that happened to be a construction site when i went to apple maps it was pointing me somewhere else turns out the marker that breather made within the map on their app was completely wrong sorry if that's confusing so i spent a good 15 minutes of wasted money that i'd spent on the breather space looking for the space itself asking random bartenders where I should be going however once I got there everything was good enough the space was awesome clean and simple the big question here is what do I think of the service I think it's great I don't really see myself using it especially in a place like la given how sprawled out the city is I'm sure it makes more sense in places like New York or San Francisco where you can walk from point A to point B but with a place excelled in California everywhere you go you have to drive go through traffic look for parking that in itself add so much time that the 30 minutes of bliss that you get in a breather space just doesn't seem worth it to add another destination to your trip but I still do really like the app in theory so I want to go ahead and try it out when I'm in San Francisco when I'm in New York and hopefully it's better there now moving on to the listen troubadours other than being a cool funky retro looking pair of headphones I really like listen as a company because they're a for purpose organization based here in LA for every pair of headphones sold they work with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to provide hearing aids to people in less fortunate situations much like toms or warby parker for a lot of people that's going to be more than a reason enough to support listen as a company and I highly recommend you do design is always a very subjective thing but I think the troubadours look awesome they look like something out of The Aviator with metal finishes would nice glossy feel as per comfort i found the earcups to be a little small maybe because i have giant will smith years but i found it after long periods of wearing it would get a little bit uncomfortable fantastic for short periods though for like 30 minutes an hour hour and a half they were great let's talk sound quality when dealing with compressed audio which is what comes out of Spotify Apple music youtube that kind of stuff the troubadours are more than good enough for the average listener you can enjoy them they sound fine it is a slightly different story when you look at specs something like the Troubadour has a frequency response of 18 hertz to 20 kilohertz whereas something like the audio technica ath m 50s have 15 hertz to 20 8 kilohertz so a significantly wider and flatter sound profile but for me it really boils down to what you're looking to do with these headphones even though it's not as flat of a sound profile the more bass heavies type sound is very welcome for casual listening it's a pleasure to listen to hip-hop rap EDM electronic music some dubstep all that kind of good stuff with heavier 808 sand sub bases those lower frequencies come in very hard and powerful still leaving room for the mids and the highs to be crisp and clean and so what's the final verdict on these headphones i would say i highly recommend them for a bunch of reasons having great sounding headphones from a company that supports an amazing cause they're well designed is nothing really to complain about along that you get things like the nylon not entangle cord you get a great pouch to put the headphones in on the go it's very well designed i don't really have any major complaints here obviously i'm aware there are always going to be a lot of better cheaper headphones out there on the market but I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair of headphones that look quite as cool retro and behind quite as cool of a cause as the troubadours are for anyone who's an audiophile music maker or whatever it may be mixing I would not recommend these headphones there's many other options out there that'll get you more bang for your buck but for the average listener who's looking for a cool looking package behind a cool cause at a decent price I definitely recommend you check these out and so that's it for this video guys let me know what you think of breather the headphones the whole package the whole video style i do want to know I do like talk to me you guys i want your feedback in the comments down below give us a thumbs up if you liked the video hit subscribe and I'll
