- Yo guys, so second generation air pods are officially out.
I've compared them against Galaxy buds but today, we are
going in the complete opposite direction and stacking them
up against these 18 dollar air pod clones that come in
multiple colors, space gray and matte black included.
And honestly, my thoughts on these have been all
over the place.
(upbeat percussion music)
Now I've seen these as cheap as 16 dollars in change.
This though is the exact model that I ordered for 18 dollars
and 80 cents.
And surprisingly, you can actually score free
shipping on these.
It takes a while, they smack it to a raven, three to four
weeks later you get your i88 Tws, but hey at
least it's free.
Hands down though, my favorite thing about these clones is
gotta be the promo video on the website.
It's all kinds of ridiculous.
It looks like your traditional top down how-to tack video
with a twist though.
The soundtrack honestly sounds like the trailer
to Air buds 17.
The only thing missing is a voice over.
Are you tired of wired headsets always dropping
off during sports?
With biceps rivaling Austin Evans, clearly this chick is.
That's not mean, right?
She's got some vascularity.
Wanna enjoy music when driving?
I'm not sure if wearing two air pods in your ears is legal,
but I don't think the rules apply to this cool
entrepreneurial dude with the wind flying through his hair
in that car.
He's probably listening to Gary V. In one ear and a Ted Talk
in the other.
Have you tried of many earphones and failed to meet
your music require-
This guy sure has.
Get i88 Tws true wireless earbuds, bring a full
new music experience.
If you don't wanna pick these up after that, I don't know
what else will sell you.
Back to my thoughts, kinda getting all over
the place though.
First off, you get these in and the build quality feels like
they are 18 dollars worth.
It's really, really cheap plastic.
Honestly the flip cap, I'm not sure how long this is
going to last.
Like if you're Austin Evans with that bicep or that chick,
you snap this open, that thing might fly off.
- That doesn't sound good.
Alright, here we go.
Oh wow, that was really easy.
That was getting much harder.
Actually, you know what?
With the magnet, it totally works like that.
See I just improved your air pods.
Don't you wish the real air pods were like-
Nah, no one wishes this, this is dumb.
- Honestly the plastic is so cheap and light, that it almost
feels like the air pod clones aren't in the case even
while they're there.
Which is a mind trip and you don't wanna lose these things
and put that kind of work load on that poor raven.
Now, one of the beautiful things with air pods going back to
the original, is how easy it is to connect to your phone.
Flip open the cap, couple of taps and you're good to go.
With these, it's not quite as simple but still really easy.
Just flip open the cap, assuming you don't break it, you're
gonna see flashing lights that's gonna let you know it's in
pairing mode, you then head into blue tooth settings, tap
connect, and what's awesome is it's going to automatically
connect both earbuds at the same time because with certain
clones you have to deal with pairing one then the other,
then the first comes unpaired, and you're pissed and
you break 'em.
With these though, you don't have to out yourself through
that frustration it's just a really simple process.
- Oh that works really quickly actually.
Surprisingly fast.
- By far, in expectations with these honestly weren't that
high especially because they're 18 dollars, like what would
you expect for 18 dollar air pod clones.
And my immediate reaction when I popped these in my ears,
listened to music was, these kinda sound like those cheap
earbuds they give you on airplanes, where you're like, "nah
I'm good, I'd rather listen to the engine.
Then I kinda came back to reality and was like, yo dummy
stop judging these so harshly, they are 18 dollars, what do
you actually expect.
And when I listened to 'em a little bit more, again, they're
not great, they don't sound amazing, honestly I think the
review on the website kinda sounds (unclear).
The colors are red.
And I would have to agree with them, sound quality for
listening to music is acceptable.
It kinda feel like air pods and I never thought I would say
this but like, air pods without low-end because we know
air pods, they don't have a ton of low-end to begin with,
but with this, it kinda feels like air pods and someone just
sucked out all the bass.
- There's definitely no bass though.
Like guitars are distorting a little bit even.
But, um, I mean for 18 bucks, I guess they're not bad.
- I mean, they're loud, um, there's not a lot of bass is
probably my main criticism but, eh, they're not that bad.
- It's like when you hear the P.A. radio in like a
department store or something, like, it's exactly what
it sounds like.
But, I guess, for convenience sake it might actually not
be that bad.
Now in the website, they list so many features, just like
completely off the map.
But apparently the i88 clone hates the iw10 because they had
this boxing dude just Batman style powing the i10 clones,
which is just weird.
But if you look on that list, it does state that there is
wireless charging with these clones, and I'm not sure if
I'm doing something wrong, I've tried pretty much every pair
that I order, and could not get wireless charging to work.
So, what's going on guys?
Future John checking in, you could also hold tap to
activate hey Siri.
- But I did that and it sucked.
- But we're telling a story.
- I mean, it works it just sucks.
- I know Evans but I didn't talk about it.
- Oh, okay.
- How to make YouTube videos.
- Yeah.
- [John] The other weird thing is in the manual it shows
that it charges through USB C.
Clearly though, this is our old friend Mr. Micro USB.
Which is a little weird to see on an air pod case but again
it comes back to the mindset that hey, these are 18 dollar
clones, with free raven shipping, you can't judge these
things too hard.
Over all, I've kinda come full circle on these, they're not
a lot of money so maybe if you don't wanna drop 200 bucks on
a pair of air pods for your kids , then they're
a great option.
You might have someone who's clumsy or loses things, you
might have like five kids (inaudible) style.
And hey, I kinda like the fact that they come
in different colors, so that way if Billy loses his matte
black pair he's not gonna try and switch it with Kens blue
pair, no Billy, those were yours, you lost them, I'm not
waiting for a raven again.
So if you're sold on these or you got a kid named Billy,
links to these are down below along with coverage on the
Galaxy Fold, got a chance to check it out before they pulled
it away from us.
So drop a like for Billy and his long lost matte
black air pod clones.
Thank you guys for watching, this is Jonathan and I will
catch you guys later.
Uh, let's take one of John's bull (bleep)
video, bull (bleep).
