Switch Projector dock, Ikea bluetooth speakers and Light L16

2018-04-17
hello and welcome to circuit breaker live I'm Ashley Carmen Paul Miller's here I'm Paul Miller you probably are noticing right now that new AI is not here that's because Neil eyes a dad happy lie and he's spending time with his baby not with gadgets which is definitely for the best so we're gonna start out with high M today but right after hi I'm we're gonna Jake on he's gonna talk about Android P so get ready to speculate about what that P stands for then we'll have Sean o cane here with some crazy camera and also Jake will be back again with an Ikea speaker it's gonna be a good show right not yes that's Neal I likes to surf a full show hi I'm you have things on this table I have things on what are the things on this table so the things that we're talking about are two new pico projectors little portable projectors so we have this which is the anchor nebula capsule which is kind of your like bread-and-butter pretty standard portable projector as portable trick portable projectors go and then we have a little bit weirder which is the yes Oh Joe I think it's oh-ho I think it's oho oho okay yes oh-ho oh-ho they they really reach for it on that name which is a projector built into Nintendo switch doc so you've seen the switch doc this is hunk of black plastic now imagine it's slightly bigger with the projector two cooling fans a speaker and a massive internal battery how big is the battery on this so the battery on this is twenty thousand four hundred million hours which is extremely big if you recall a couple weeks ago we had switch accessories we had that giant battery pack that Creighton had so it's like that big so it's it's got like in a hundred and thirty dollar battery pack built in it is this charge your switch or is it just powered the projector so we can charge your switch it can actually it has a separate mode over here where you can put it into battery mode where it just turns into a battery pack and you can charge very large I mean if you're trying it anyway so here we go so yeah you've got a plug we've got ports so you got power in for USB seeing which a is great because us PC is great and the switch charges with us PC so you can just use the same charging cable you have so you could use like a like fire TV yeah always got the archives handy dandy fire TV let's do this without blinding Paul I'll get you I'll get you a screen home and you have our camera people all of whom I have already brought to be clear the regular switch doc no projector nobodies just okay and again these are actually pretty similar projectors this costs 350 dollars it's about the science of Serta cam it's actually we measure this super point of super portable it has this cost this cost fifty dollars more than this this has battery that's four times the size and works with a switch so you know trade-offs yeah and this is tiny and you can fit in your pocket this also runs Android TV so I'll turn on a few minutes but this has like Netflix YouTube everything built-in the switch has Hulu you can you can watch the real magic is doing with the yeah let's swap that in let's get the switch going this seems like the solution all my problems honestly because I have a switch I cannot manage a whole projector setup I don't really have a TV at home so this actually seems like exactly what I would need yeah I mean I'm really just a big fan of this in general just because the switch is already so portable right so your your focus again with adjusting focus there are buttons it's actually the thing I don't love about this is that you just click the button like a thousand times to get into focus yes there's no remote there's no projector settings for the things I like about this is that actually both these projectors have a cool thing where they'll adjust to the angle that you're putting it on so it's a level screen so if I put it like an angle it knows how to compensate for that and just keep unfortunately it only does that vertically not horizontally so but this is on and we're just gonna drop our switch in just like we would with the actual docks extending the fun of Nintendo switch oh and here we go dang so you can just jump right in so has built-in speakers yeah it's got built-in speakers there's also an aux port if you want to you know extend speakers a bit and it's like a regular switch and net yeah that was like simple simple setup I can see this is the studio have you done it have you tried it in the dark yeah in the dark it actually looks pretty good so this is a 200 lumen projector this one's about a hundred neither of them is outstandingly good like relatives like big professional projectors I just knew them is like super outstanding relative like actual projectors but for a small portable projector you know take on the go for playing a game of Mario Kart on your rooftop with all your trendy friends it's through I've heard that third-party docks and things like that have been tricking the switches yes is that something people need to worry about with something like this I mean there's always a concern when you're using a third party accessory on 90% sure Nintendo hasn't authorized this one I'm more ok with this for a couple reasons one is even compared to the switch dock you're putting this in relatively if you look you're putting the switch much farther in so there's less chance of it like damaging or scratching up your screen and to the issues with the bricking was really I think one specific Nyko dock which I actually have on my desk and have been afraid to plug my switches before maybe don't do that yeah this was an IndieGoGo project which is usually kind of a red flag here not even kickstart this IndieGoGo is usually more this is really but it's really shipping and go on Amazon and actually order one I think they're currently backordered but you can order one on Amazon it'll be shipping with prime shipping I think in a couple weeks or how much it's $400 which is the catch the other hand this is again this is kind of you know your base model this is three hundred and fifty dollars this has a battery that's one quarter of the size and you can't just drop your switch in and like going back like in the original switch commercial they had that like you know you trendy hipsters on your roof heels on your reclaimed warehouse roof in Brooklyn playing playing switch games this is like this is like me the evolution of that tree we're not only not only are you showing up at your party like the coolest guy in the world Paul with your switch it's ready ready to lead a game are you there with your with your giant block projector yeah suddenly everyone's enjoying well I have I did in Manhattan I have logged a huge projector up to a friend's roof before just to watch Netflix yeah that was seems like it'd be easier now with this this kind of thing now this is Android TV this is a set this up too so how do we turn this off there's a power button on the front it's just a switch oh that's a switch pun not intended sorry I think I kind of reviewed this yeah I had a lot of problems with this remote so this looks like such a simple room it looks so simple is it if it looks like this remote which is arguably this feels awful there's a tiny infrared sensor here on the back it just you got to be like direct shot so you doesn't work well with the bank shots right I guess with like a portable projector that's more of a concern because you're going to be like moving it around a lot yeah I mean this just runs Android TV which is good try this just try this what's the resolution on this one the chat wants no so they both have the same resolution they both natively project at 854 by 480 so not like great resolution but it's a small battery power projector that you can carry in your bag and take anywhere how many lumens this is 200 lumens that's 100 lumens so again neither these are breaking any records in terms of projectors you're not gonna you know install this in your home theater is your big cinema quality projector but if it's a thing that you just stick in a bag and take with you to your rooftop parties like find this in college I would have failed out of college okay let's do this remote demo it works I mean I'm literally pointing it directly at it but there we go okay I'm back here I'm already I'm already not yet like I think three feet I think three feet for a TV remote is reasonable statute to expect it to work the nice thing is there there is an app so you can you can control it over Bluetooth mm-hmm that works great it's also great for like typing us can you show that app in the overheads oh sure sure so you're just moving around with your finger so like the Apple TV app app actually yeah yeah this is like a like a cursor kind of thing that's really cool so this doesn't have any app at all there's basically no controls on the on the Oh yo oh whatever we decided to call it you can adjust focus with these buttons on top you can adjust volume of the internal speaker and that's it is there's no remote there's no controls it is designed to be as plug-and-play as the switch itself is like you just drop it in and go and hope everything kind of works mmm and it mostly does would you buy this yourself now that you are have succeeded at college you know upstanding professional citizen so here's the thing this cost more than a switch does this cost $400 so you could buy a switch you can buy a second pair of droidcon for the switch and you could buy a game to play on the switch for less than buying yeah but if you were gonna play on a TV and you had to buy the TV that's true I guess relative to TV so it's definitely more of like a fun luxury it's it cost like $200 I could see maybe doing it yeah oh you also you do just get a huge battery yeah I mean it is it is basically in $130 battery pack like we had a battery this big for the switch so you are getting that out of it which isn't bad but it's it's definitely so a little expensive at this point God family it's just a cool like people are finally doing interesting things with this which this is this is the do more things like this developers if you're listening and hopefully a Nintendo doesn't break it and hopefully a Nintendo doesn't break anything awesome well hi I'm thank you so much for coming on now we're gonna go to I don't know maybe a part of the show you probably like a circuit breaker so Jake is gonna talk about Android PE get ready to speculate in the comments with Jake here we go what's up Jake a month ago we put up a first look at Android P when Google released the Developer Preview and basically all of the comments on YouTube or a speculation about what Google is going to name Android B it's like that time of year it always happens debate over what the net desert they'll choose is going to be for the name of the property since we feel reduced go through some of the favorites that were in the comments and talking over the first one the number one most popular comment was Android pancake and I'll tell you all this is actually just a bad yes because it's not a dessert all Android operating systems have a native desserts and pancake is not pancakes what about when they have whipped cream on them yeah if you Mickey Mouse pancakes Mickey Mouse if you know how you shape the pancake it still is a breakfast but if you have a great dinner and someone's like would you like to see the dessert menu it's full pancakes that are sweet and delightful you say I'm sorry I don't eat my own desserts for dessert I think that would be strange if somebody offered you cereal for dessert would you still a breakfast food okay there are better office in pancakes are delicious people are in the chat are saying pancake equal breakfast thank you commenters for once alright what else we have number two another really popular when we saw was popsicle which I think it's a very good guess but here's the thing popsicle is actually brand name a registered trademark of whom the popsicle in people I don't my feeling is like where you kick out you recognizes brand names I did not even realize that pop school was a brand name like the generic is ice pop so it'd be a lot of work for Google to get the permission for like nom oh right I feel like it would not be as like worth it that's that's my feeling against pops okay what else we got we have some good and bad ones peppermint it's fine thanks I am really I like eating honestly a lot of people and then are saying peppermint really which I'm shocked I think parents really I just think a peppermint pattie like the candy the candy little ones those mints are absolutely now dessert so that is our qualifier here no well but this is honeycomb a dessert I mean so lame dessert and similarly one of the worst versions of Android oh yeah all right we also have popcorn no it's not unless you put chocolate pieces sugar on literally any we're getting so many crazy ones in here happy seed muffin panna cotta these people are trolling I wanted pineapple upside-down cake that's was a bunch of pineapple suggestions coming up we have a bunch of us a potato this is I mean a delicious food but not not working for for a dessert I drew a pie yeah I mean I feel like it's a little short feels like you like someone in the chat says pumpkin pie I have a theory that they might not want to do but cut any anything with a double P the alliteration is good the alliteration is good but if you think everybody abbreviated Android Ice Cream Sandwich is ICS and here you're going Android nobody's gonna call it Android double P it's gonna be that's my only my my reason why it might not be that enter pineapple we got yeah that's that's a clear fruit I think fruit is another thing yeah stache accessorize your malicious I like this one because think of it do pistachio ice cream sandwich pics and then say Samsung upgrade to pics or it didn't happen right you could have a great crowd there you know market what about pecan another nut again pecan I think pecans are traditionally seen a it's very I don't think that's true of any not a lot of oil yeah I and and likewise peanuts are like if you're approaching dessert you know you're just warming yourself up we actually find yes so Google IO is coming up in a few weeks is the beginning of May mm-hmm but we're not looking at the name and Google usually introduces some of the more consumer-facing features in the spring or then put out a public beta so we'll start to get a sense of it but pretty much every time they don't actually put out the final name unless you're they did like a special event yeah or yeah so we're probably not gonna actually find out until the fall usually around the time that the pixel comes out that'll be around September October and that's when we got the phone name although sometimes they'll you know might do some sort of gimmick around the spring to kind of vote on the name or get people speculating so it's not unheard of I will say my favorite one is up here kind of I'm kind of feeling pop-tart also in some cases a brand name what part well it's definitely definitely a brand name yeah it's pop pop tart crossovers now at my bodega so I know that the pop art brand is willing to diversify okay yeah are you a pop fair shape I can't really thank thank you Paul this is been incredibly helpful let me because there's new cameras desserts are you buying Dunkin Donuts at your bodega why are you biting don't you notice at the bodega I just have noticed that Dunkin donut pop-tarts it's like a vanilla latte pop-tart okay okay all right we're down Shaw no Kane is here Shawn what you know we're good we're heated what's going on one of the weirdest things I've probably ever reviewed for The Verge this is the light l16 as you can see Paul cam this is a camera with 16 cameras on the front of it wow it is quite the thing to behold costs $2,000 1950 I'm being a oh you're basically buying 19 cameras a hundred bucks a camera right anyways it's got five 28 millimeter wide angle lenses okay mixed in here five 70 millimeter sort of mid-range lenses and six 150 millimeter telephoto lenses and these are all essentially the same kinds of camera modules you'd find in a smartphone so like that size you can actually see the 151 s are laid out with mirrors in there and they're making I don't know if you can hear the noise but I might be able to get the yeah there we go you can see a movie it's to focus because they're all coming from sort of slightly different angles so to make sure that you have the subject in focus they're all just mirrors a little bit so yeah the whole idea with this camera is that it essentially is mimicking having a mirrorless or DSLR camera with a 28 millimeter 250 millimeter zoom in and lens and the idea being that you know you're saving space go have the giant lens out here this is something that you know more easily slips in a bag or a pocket and it's actually simulating all those focal lengths in between so if you zoom to 40 millimeters it's taking multiple camera sensors at the same time all images from those camera sensors at the same time combining them all on the fly and rendering out something that looks like it would have looked like if it was a 40 millimeter lens how do you zoom with this so it's got a five inch touchscreen LCD on the back mm-hmm camera over here yeah so you just touch on the screen it's giving me some mic haptic feedback right now which is actually kind of nice so you know for sure that you're zooming if you're if you're not really exactly pretty responsive it's pretty smooth it actually just runs on Android you can show you somehow notice you can just pop out of the camera app and it has like a tray of things so yeah I'll take a photo people are saying you're triggering their trip of phobia sure yeah what is it tryptophan of closely gathered holes I believe yeah you should go read the review because we're not gonna be able to cover all of this here now because there's a lot to this thing and have a lot of thoughts about it but yeah sorry there's a very trip debit triggering really I just want to see it in action like which one do I look at yeah yeah it's definitely not the most like it doesn't put your subject say to use and I found it pretty good for you know like street photography it's kind of slow and thoughtful when you try to take a lot of it's not it's not like it's pretty nice yeah for in here and so what you can do is so this is showing some sort of like low megabyte preview on the camera you can actually tap this button to process it it'll run through it'll combine what was showing you was one of the images tap this process button you give it a few seconds it'll combine and make a 13 megapixel image image so you can actually see it looked that air quality now there's more detail in the hair it's not as like artifact II on her face and if you have an Android phone you can then Bluetooth share it out oh it which is nice what about if you have an iPhone or an iOS device iPhones can't handle Bluetooth file transfers so yeah you're kind of screwed that from getting a photo from this to Instagram if you have an iPhone is shoot it on here off loaded under your computer like connect it and put it on your computer run it through their desktop software save it out get it back to here iPhone and then on Instagram so it's not the most mobile friendly setup and so you said the the version that this process is like 13 megapixels yes no the desktop software can process like a way higher yes it's capturing so much information because it's capturing from up to 10 different cameras at any given time when you take a picture and so the ultimate combination of that can be up to 52 megapixels if you run it through the desktop software and you can export that as a JPEG you can export that as a dmg raw file and then take it to Lightroom and do more fine edits there which is cool problem is the desktop software is pretty slow it's still in beta and I give this company a lot of credit because they put actually a lot of updates out already on both the desktop software and on the software on the camera the firmware but yeah it's you know it looks like lightroom it's got your filmstrip here at the bottom it's got some basic editing on the sides it has some other special effects kind of like what we used to see with that Lytro camera actually we have a lighter I was gonna add you about you can't you can sort of mess with the depth effect you can so initially this this camera came out like I know six years ago and you can take a picture and you could refocus it yeah after the fact thanks to some really interesting properties of physics yeah the problem with this was that they never figure out a way to make it so that that worked like outside of their own proprietary format you're doing in bed light to his own so this you end up with an actual yeah you could go in here it's you know for something that's kind of far away it's not really going to be too great but you know a closer image you could probably try and blur it you can change the f-stop yeah you can change the f-stop to give it some like background blur see it's it's just a little slower like this doesn't look that impressive to me and a lot of people want to know whether this is better than a high-end smartphone one person particulars asking about the pixel to I know you're gonna get to this but we want to know yeah so it it's hard especially this um what we're showing here what I found out after you know that's really bashing my head against this this desktop software is that what it's showing us right now is uh is already a sort of dumb down preview so when you export the image you save it out even as a JPEG it'll look a lot better than what we're seeing right now which is always frustrating but at least it's got some better detail than what we're showing you yeah the the depth effects stuff is kind of tough if you didn't have the thing that you wanted in focus right in focus it's gonna kind of be a little bit rough but the quality is you know in sunlight it can actually be pretty great in low-light it can impress too it's it's always a little bit maybe more than a smartphone when it gets it right just because it's working with so much more you mean image data it's just never really clearing the bar it's never really making that leap from smartphone to like a mirrorless camera or an aps-c Kinsmen sensor camera and and the process of working with these images is just like it's you can see it's like loading every time I pull its gonna do that because it's really seamless on the fly which is like really frustrating so like you got to wait for it to sort of pop in that's that's pretty good but like you zoom in it's got to reassemble it no it's great if you make an edit it blot you can see it like blocking in the changes so that's just like a real big choke point for it and what I found is that you know it's it can really impress you some of the images it takes can be really great but it's kind of in the same way that like pictures from my iPhone can be really great and it's not certainly is like a consumer product I don't think it really justifies the price even though it performs better than I think I thought it would it I just found myself rated with it can you think of someone this would be useful for or is it just a tech demo it's just like I'm not hit at the future of camera I think if it had more mobile features like if you could really get it you know really hook it up through like a mobile app to your smartphone if it had that sort of pipeline if it was a little bit better in fast situations you know it's actually really not that far off like we saw the first prototype of this thing back in 2015 October 2015 I think and it was at that point it was like still just it was like the circuit board of like all the camera modules and like things weren't even connected like it's really crazy how far it's come and it's a polished piece of hardware so it's actually not too far off and I think you know that they're making changes to the software and the desktop and on the camera is a good sign like the people who do buy this are gonna see it get better okay it is so software which is all smartphone cameras yeah and sorry I mean I think there are people I don't think that you should go out and buy this camera as opposed to like the premise that they that they lay out that this could replace sort of like a camera bags worth of lenses doesn't really hold up like you're still gonna be better off the difference between this and like a Fuji film X t20 with a zoom lens on it space wise actually isn't that great like and you're gonna get far more reliable consistent quality out of that or a camera like that where this really makes sense is like in a in the context of smartphones and I think that's really what their goal would was with this was prove that this works and I think they did I'm really impressed that like the cameras didn't miss a line or you know like the the software works the way it does and if you can downsize that from 16 cameras to five or four three fit it into a smart phone like and give some of these benefits like a hundred and fifty millimeter zoom on your smart phone without it being digitally that's really is that kind of like the future we're starting to see with for example just the iPhone the dual camera is obviously everyone's getting dual camera a twenty pros got 4000 camera yeah I think triple selfie camera is I totally think this is where this is all heading like Google's already doing crazy work with software on its pixel phones with just one camera and so the more cameras we see on these phones if you get companies that know how to handle the software to do sort of tricky things like this I think we're gonna see a big explosion in value there cuz they're just so like the physical limitations of building a camera the size that fits in a smartphone are so concrete that like we're already up against them right you can't really get the aperture any lower you can't really get this you know it a bigger sensor in there so something like this is a really good idea and I know that they've been in talks with some smart phone makers they've been telling me that they're you know hopefully gonna have a phone out this year that uses this technology I think like Lytro we saw them making those promises back in 2015 or not even promises but proposing that idea and it took them until 2018 to really get it out in front of people and maybe they miss the boat now because they're now there is like themselves with three cameras and we are starting to see this commit like in 2015 it was rare to think about multiple cameras on the back of a smartphone now we're getting it like as it's it's table stakes right but I'm excited to see this idea keep going forward in the smartphone and sort of form factor I also think some other really crazy stuffs going to come as well like if you think where is it there are a lot of 360 cameras out right now I don't really think there's a lot of value in them but something like this which is the Rilo camera mm-hmm what it does is lets you basically just capture 360 degrees and then reframe your shot on the fly on your phone I think this is 300 okay GoPro zoom the same thing with its fusion camera and you know we're not far off from getting this down in this like this getting this down into a form factor that fits on your smartphone and then all of a sudden you're using your front-facing camera your rear-facing camera okay like a 360 sphere and then you just you know figure out how you wanted to frame it later I think there's some really cool stuff coming to like the mobile space with these as like indications of it as far as consumer products go it's not not quite bad I think it's so cool that they pulled this off I didn't want to put this on paka I know we got a clumsy aspersion in the world I have somehow not broken the glass on the front of this thing or scrap well Paul was gonna break it for you looks great all right Sean well thank you so much for coming on the show this is sick glad we got to demo it and now everyone's favorite part of the show oh that's right it is everybody's circuit breaker I did another explain yourself this time it's about space law with Lauren crush space earth you need a license now probably thanks to the Tesla stunt blame Noah in a 26-year old law by Lauren grush space expert it doesn't say that but I know okay Lauren explain yourself my crush I want to know the truth about spaceball there's a lot to go over what do you want to talk about well I read this article on the verge that you wrote about how Tesla was in trouble for taking video in space kinda because it's illegal to take pictures of the earth illegal basically you have to get a license from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration if you want to take pictures of video of Earth from orbit it's known as remote sensing so if you have a satellite and you want to take pictures of the ground you have to get a license first from NOAA and SpaceX was not getting any of these licenses because these are just they've been just putting cameras on their rockets but you know everybody saw Star man in space so it kind of got people's attention this is like to stop people from like spying or something right it's based off an old law that the US was concerned that maybe you know a US company would put up a satellite and they could go take pictures of troops overseas and then sell that information to a foreign entity but you know we're getting to a point where there's so many different companies putting stuff in a space and they have all these different capabilities that there's debate about whether or not the law is necessary anymore or if we should update it so this got me thinking what other space laws am i I'm just thinking you know let's say I built a rocket that can go space and I get in the rocket I go space who's gonna arrest me well first you need a license from the Federal Aviation Administration because you want to make sure that your rocket does not hurt anybody on the ground or destroy anybody's house that's very important to me very important you need a license from the FCC to have access to the radio spectrum in order to communicate with your vehicle while it's launching and if you're putting a satellite into orbit and then if you were going to take pictures of Earth you would need an extra license from NOAA as well but other than that I'm totally clear I can do whatever I want ah I mean you do have to go through a payload review through the FAA if you are bold about your intentions of messing stuff up in space the State Department will probably step in and say now what if I build a real such a good rocket and I go to the moon or to Mars I've heard at least maybe the moon it's kind of like Antarctica the US has these obligations under a treaty known as the Outer Space Treaty and they don't want to mess they want to get other countries mad at them so if you're going to the Moon or Mars the u.s. is going to want to know that you're adhering to certain parts of the treaties so for one thing planetary protection is a big one you'll want to contaminate other places with your human germs because that can be really bad for studying these places or what if you introduce some weird space bug that grows out of control and then comes back and hurts us later on what if I just want to plant some potatoes you probably need you need to talk to the State Department about that why even go to space there's all these laws why even try it's like UK you have these laws for how to get to space but then once you're up there there's not a lot of regulation SpaceX has been putting cameras on its rockets for how long and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just noticed and it was like oh that's probably not okay so what you're recommending is that I just try to fly under the radar and try not to get caught I did not make that recommendation I officially thank you that was explain yourself I think we really got to the bottom whatever we just talked about we're back and Jacob the other side no hard feelings about the disease it's well some of us were right I brought you something not Android related these are speakers from Ikea there are kids very first Bluetooth speakers which is also just kind of weird because Iquitos technology now and this has been increasing over the past few years several years ago they started building qi wireless chargers and two things you'd get like a lamp that would you could put your phone on it with charge they didn't really look that good but you could do it then like a year or so ago they released some wireless ladies they had a whole system at this hub had this weird dimmer thing I tested up didn't work great but it was one of the cheapest options you can get mmm which is really what I kids been doing it's been trying to just bring smart technology down to a lower price make sense it's like you and now they're starting to get two speakers so these are the first Bluetooth speakers we know they're partnering we're so knows in the future so in I think next year we're expecting probably some Wi-Fi speakers that have sona's compatibility or something like that I was working with teenage engineering on some more stylish audio gear this is the start they're not listening to you with these ones these are dumb these are yeah these are our Bluetooth only yeah this is these are the dumb speakers there's no microphones no smart assistant you can plug your phone into it or you can hook it up wirelessly and that is it and these are really bare-bones products this one's $49 this one is $89 they meant to be portable what's intriguing is this one has to be plugged in this one comes with a power cord it's plugging by default but this is Ikea it's kind of modular and weird as you would kind of expect so what you can actually do is there's this slot in the bottom we have this coin here and you can actually plug a battery pack I think I locked it instead of opening it there's this giant slot or a battery pack to be plugged in yeah there for you and it's like it basically looks like a you know a portable battery for a phone book and it's specifically designed fost though that's another $20 so if you want to use this wirelessly your haven't bought any more for the yeah which I mean is kind of a neat feature that you can add that on but also then you're getting into like a kind of a pricier range and sort of the thing that I've been wondering is you know what exactly is the target market for IKEA speaker I don't know who is maybe we should just talk about like how these sound before we get in yeah I want to see and someone does want to know do you have to build them I am very excited about this part yeah so there is the ridge there's there's a limited amount of assembly there's a handle really basic assembly this one has a handle you loop it on and both of them have these detachable front covers actually if you look way better without them because then you can see the speakers on the front there's three drivers and this one too and that one you kind of really have to dig in there this fabric cover it feels very like it's trying to be with that trend like the Google thank you yeah and and it looks a little bit like the echo and stuff but it's not really working for me on these these are very like IKEA bare bones basic style I think I'm sure that these are designed to fit inside your cube IKEA storage units everything fits together exactly and it seems to be like you're already at IKEA you're already shopping and like I need a speaker so we kind of listened to him earlier and our opinions were were mixed I've got I got verge gas queued up on here they yeah this is probably not going to the most demonstrative thing but it's gonna be the least one to get us demonetised or whatever i'm youtube so they get they don't get super loud they get like loud enough probably but they sort of get distorted at a higher noise Paul you think they're awful I think is that I really really hated especially over Bluetooth I do agree with you that once you plug it in with an audio jack which you know good luck to you I think it sounds a lot better yeah I feel compression of sounds so is really much sloppy and it's kind of a painful like like a just please don't hair with each other or anything right it's purely just one off yeah no is one off like you connect to this you have like one in your room and that's it let me see if I can play something else for like two seconds that will be a little bit clearer as music can you also show us how this knob works as you want to see someone use the knob yeah the knob I mean it's it's spinning it have fun that's that's what it's there for like I love Drake and I'm sure his label loves are playing him here really enhance though it's true yeah I I don't know I feel like these will work for fun if like if you just like need music for a party this is I don't think this is like for close listening if you're buying your speakers at IKEA you're not trying to close listen you're just like this will look good in my room yeah it can do the bare minimum which is pairing my phone and play music yeah it seems like I need a speaker for my bedroom I don't know if you're a measure of already yeah exactly I think this would work for that but at that price range you probably could get a better Bluetooth right that's a thing this is $89 and I I'm not sure it's like a weird balance like this one's this is not portable either you can probably get a pretty good portable one like at these prices too so it's it's definitely go weird I think I think like the Google home and the echo what they make they black and like as perfect speakers they have like really high quality audio because it's all coming over Wi-Fi like much time bluetooth thing to know of course they can cost a little bit more yeah but I I do think these both of these speakers sound way better with a novel yeah it's weird cuz you upgrade these by plugging away a chromecast Audio or connecting like an echo dot at that point like you're spending so much on these things but I didn't just get like a normal echo I don't know if that would really be so much better we've done necessarily an in-depth listening test on either of these yet but look when you just carry it there's a guy with four Bluetooth speaker speakers hanging around his neck like a chain it was amazing that isn't you can show that off with two of those exactly I just right there well Jake thank you for bringing on these speakers or are they out yet yeah these are entering stores now I think you managed to buy them online because they're in limited quantities at the moment but this is gonna be in a Kia stores do we say what they're calling them oh they're called they're called an Emmy I mean I don't know has maybe twenty and thirty okay there's no accent marks but they're all all caps okay all caps any be enemy any be yeah awesome in this alright well that's it for circuit breaker live thanks for watching and we'll see you next week same time same place bye Paul again and I've just been trying to think of a good name for a spaceship company Paul's astronaut up sending launcher he up since it launches astronauts Paul yeah
