  • So this is ah, highly anticipated product in front of me.

  • I've actually talked about it.

  • Previously on the podcast Longform show downstairs Loo.

  • Later.

  • If you haven't seen it yet, it's in the same territory to seeing family as the crazy popular well received over here.

  • Headphone s only put out with a very similar brand name.

  • These ones are actually gonna put active noise cancellation into the earbuds.

  • So they're gonna aim to give you noise canceling performance similar to what you would get with a much larger headphone.

  • But if these are anything alike, the over here counterpart, then this could be the new go to.

  • This could be the new champion.

  • It says six hours of battery life plus 18.

  • I believe the package.

  • The case that East biddings who was going to court provides you with substantially more battery life in the year but itself.

  • Sony designed HD noise canceling processor Q and one E for high performance noise cancellation and high quality audio slash Dual noise sensor technology captures ambient noise precisely with two microphones and a stable wireless connection.

  • USB type C charging.

  • That's a major bonus for me.

  • 10 minute quick charge gives you 90 minutes of play with noise canceling on theme axe, listening times around six hours.

  • And then if you turn noise canceling off that run time goes up to eight hours, so it can be eight hours plus 32 with the case.

  • If you don't need noise canceling, you can see I've got the black model.

  • Will.

  • I believe they come also in a silver that kind of like gold.

  • 10 You.

  • That's the color I have, the other one's in.

  • This also looks to be a giant touch pad on the side, which could be nice.

  • This gives you a look right here at that external microphone, picking up noise, figuring things out by default when compared to an airport dish.

  • It isolate sound, already better throw noise, canceling into that as well.

  • And it should be some pretty severe isolation.

  • Who pretty high quality case going on Just the style I like this.

  • Like I said, this copper finish on the top.

  • It's a matte finish, by the way, I should probably mention right now.

  • Well, what is our retail price in U.

  • S.

  • Dollars?

  • 230 bucks, which is not crazy.

  • Actually, you can get air pots for less.

  • If you don't get the wireless charge case, you could go to, like, 150 60 bucks, something like that.

  • So they arm or no doubt about it, but noise canceling.

  • So the case pops open like this.

  • As you can see, there's a slot clearly indicate left and right they've been doing after age is just a little note on Sony here, like they have been quietly refining thes technologies and competing like crazy in these certain technology departments.

  • Now this, which looks like a major player and then similar stuff in the camera department, where they're selling pretty much the only point and shoot that you should be interested in.

  • And they're tackling.

  • Product segments have incumbent champions, and they're dethroning so well done.

  • I haven't listened to these yet, so I can't say they're gonna be as good as the over ears.

  • But I have pretty high expectations.

  • Based on that experience, there's an app to connect, and often times I will not download the app alongside some borrowers headphones.

  • But in this case, it's a must because the features in their crazy the tip selection is cool.

  • Look that these are your Maur.

  • Typical rubberized soft touch feel, and then over here, these look like a foam, possibly a comply foam type of tip.

  • It's not like that old school type of foam, but it is different than it's softer, I would say and thicker as well.

  • Like 00 it's a nice fit.

  • It's a nice fit.

  • In a nice presentation.

  • There's a magnet that pulls them in.

  • And now you get this led light on the front.

  • You have the NFC logo there.

  • That, to me, indicates that you compare this up just by touch.

  • I'm very happy right now.

  • I'm very impressed.

  • I'm having a good time.

  • I like the way the package is coming together.

  • Things were looking good.

  • All right, so I've got the APP open now.

  • Headphones are blinking blue now.

  • Adaptive sound control.

  • The APP detects your actions and automatically adjust how to take in the ambient sound.

  • So this is the coolest part.

  • If it thinks that you need isolation based on the surroundings, it'll tweak and toggle up the noise cancellation.

  • It can figure out you're on an airplane and then set up a profile specifically for an airplane because they know what an airplane typically sounds like.

  • You see, what I'm saying here is very smart.

  • Okay, enabled.

  • Good.

  • The app is gonna tell you your battery life on both the left and right unit.

  • The adaptive sound control realizes I'm in one spot.

  • I'm staying.

  • So it has the ambient sound control.

  • And being sound 20 is what it said to.

  • So I'm gonna get a little bit of ambient sounds with a focus on voice.

  • So it's gonna attempt to bring through if somebody tries to speak to you or disrupt you.

  • The next profile is walking in which the ambient sound goes all the way up to 12 without the focus on voice.

  • We, of course, have running as well.

  • Ambient sound goes up to 20 and then on transport so it can tell automatically if you're on a train bus and then the noise canceling goes to Max.

  • Jack, that's cool.

  • Come on, Jack.

  • You can also go into the equalizer, which allows you to really tune in how you want them to sound depending on type of music.

  • You're listening to this and now playing section for whatever it is that you have to be listening to.

  • There's an automatic pause when the headphones are taken off.

  • There's something called D C h X.

  • I saw that on the boss.

  • I didn't know what it was.

  • Well, can you tell me what d c h x?

  • Wow.

  • OK, so this is Ah, this is a type of audio processor that aims to take lower fidelity audio and enhance it.

  • I should also mention these have Google Assistant built in, which is my assistant of choice.

  • Okay, So already I'm feeling pretty significant.

  • Isolation.

  • Catch a couple tunes real quick.

  • Look, if you want some bass out of these, feel free.

  • You go in there, you tweak a toggle you get and volume and fullness.

  • And when I tapped it right now, on the other hand, I just got audio feeding through.

  • I could hear myself and here to surroundings.

  • So on the pause, you get the feedback coming through, because presumably you wanna chat.

  • Good, Good, good, good.

  • Um, I could hear you now.

  • If I switch to transit, you're dead.

  • I mean, I can hear you, but you're dead.

  • It's definitely noise canceling, but it's not as intense as what the over ears air capable of.

  • Okay, say something.

  • Now.

  • Now, test test these air headphones.

  • These are a pair of earphones.

  • This is what you're looking for.

  • They put whatever you might want to put it there for you the years people here, the people.

  • Okay, You don't want to hear him.

  • You don't Europe.

  • Oh, you're outside.

  • What do you do in mowing the lawn?

  • Okay, that's one thing.

  • Are you on airplane?

  • That's another in the coffee shop.

  • We know it before.

  • You do know the noise canceling is not as intense as the over here version, but this.

  • Look at that.

  • You travel a lot.

  • Those people with those air pots out there, they're lacking all these features.

  • All right?

  • They're almost at the same price.

  • And the sound performance, it just can't compete.

  • I should totally try out the other tips because they look even Come fear.

  • This material is so squished.

  • I got the more foamy thing right now.

  • Still soft.

  • I think maybe I prefer it.

  • I'm gonna play around with that a little bit.

  • Picked my perfect fit, But as far as Jim use activity use Yeah, No problem.

  • They're not They're not, but I don't know.

  • I probably feel maybe more confident than the airport because it's just deeper in the ear canal.

  • Classic rock.

  • Fine Now I should probably go play with the equalizer.

  • A C we have.

  • Ah, some sort of a rock.

  • Mellow.

  • Excited.

  • Okay, cited were cited.

  • Yeah, there's good.

  • Look, they're good.

  • Good.

  • Did they replace the over ear model for me?

  • Cause I know a lot of people had to make a choice between the two.

  • I don't think so.

  • That said, if I needed to travel, have on a one size fits all hand phone ahead bone, like I said for the bag for a particular clientele for a certain buyer that needs one headphone to do it all, to be portable, to be a near but tohave noise canceling.

  • Have an astronomical number of features.

  • Toe have good battery life, multiple fits like I just don't even know what else I will recommend exactly in this department.

  • Look at this.

  • It's got a retro new.

  • I just they're doing stuff.

  • Good stuff.

  • It's cool.

  • There's a lot going on.

So this is ah, highly anticipated product in front of me.
