I talked about this in the past I've
looked at these guys products in the
past I talked about this product down on
the loo later show there's been this
movement towards these more advanced
noise cancelling headphones that free
you up to hear your surroundings because
people you can't be cut off we have
headphones on more frequently in public
places this is kind of the original
version of that now it's not a typical
traditional headphone this uses bone
conduction and this company aftershocks
they've been doing it for a while now
they decided to use jack on the front
cover here also very athletic himself
the skin to clothing ratio of this image
like how did they get this what is this
a shoulder you can email what is it
jacket unbox therapy comm for these
types of engagements those are the arrow
pecs that's what they're calling their
latest version from what I have heard
these are supposedly better than the
previous ones open ear design bone
conduction technology ip67 waterproof
eight hours music plus calls moisture
detection alert and titanium fit how can
titanium be a fit like a Miam fit that's
marketing lingo they're not giving up on
the bone conduction idea if they want to
make some improvements put out a new
product so be it why not so it's the
arrow pecs can we get a price update
right now 160 bucks so we're not cheap
anymore I mean this things have to sound
pretty good at 169 when for most people
it's not gonna replace your headphone
it's gonna be something you own in
association with your headphone okay
whoa or these are theirs Jack again is
that you I think it's you again you must
have been in San Francisco or something
cuz it looked like a big hill there do I
have to clear up that that's not
actually you is this is a legal
liability years no I don't okay perfect
be open you see they wanted ears to be
open look at these people you can see
their ears the ears are open that's the
benefit okay very simple packaging we
have the product over here is very Apple
s actually there I say whoo there's
sleeker whoa those are tiny this is all
soft touch the whole way around and they
are tiny look at this
we have a nice little carrying case it's
also the same soft touch material very
so smooth oh look at that magnetic
they're doing things at the company
they're not sitting around accessories
galore over here whoa the liquid
detection if there is sweat or other
liquid residue in the charging interface
the device light will flash blue and red
the core of the headphones will also
vibrate and emit a beep beep no not a
beep beep a bead bead I know there was
such a thing as a bead dry the liquid
and then keep charging okay so it's got
a little warning on there
they included ear plugs cable number one
is your charge cable it is a proprietary
connector it's kind of hard for it not
to be on a product like this let's see
how this goes yeah
so it fits in right above the charge
connector that's where you got your
power switch and your volume up and down
oh they just give you two Jack look at
that would you see I mean how nice is
that it's a little gift where you least
expect it let's go ahead and give these
a test oh my god they are super
lightweight so let's see welcome to
after shots ok so we have power I mean I
assume it goes into pairing immediately
it should yeah there you go okay
arrow pecs by aftershocks play a couple
of tunes why don't we eighties rock
ballads born or I want to know what love
is that's the maximum volume now
[Music]
how's it bleed right now very little
sound bleed wow that's the bone
conduction it's loud for me right now is
me a heartache in pain that Maxie could
get that that high volume on there it's
a little crunchy still less so than the
previous version I should say let me
just get to the chorus real quick all
right and I want you to show me
that's a karaoke banger right there by
the way Willie do couple of beers guy
like you yeah so it's breaking up a
little bit at the top and do I have
would I listen that loud probably not
you're getting this weird zone of like
you can hear your surroundings so you're
kind of like should i blast it I'm gonna
go down a few notches and then now the
crunchiness is gone and it's a
comfortable listening environment you
can see I can still converse I could
talk to Jack test one two like you I can
hear him now it does feel like the low
end is missing a little bit I think
where the previous version heavier-duty
like the old ones made up for it through
through sheer vibration to give you the
impression that the low end was there
these ones don't really try as much so
you get a cleaner signal but at the
expense potentially of some thump so
imma go and play something a bit heavier
here okay this is totally different
totally different experience
little more pleat it's loud it's loud
for me okay so don't think you're
getting a headphone experience it's not
a competition if this was the sound
quality was getting out of something
that actually went in my ear or around
my ear it will be unacceptable to be
comparative to what I've tried out to me
where I think it shines the most is in
the category of like podcasts in the
category of audiobooks this thing is
kind of that hybrid effect of like you
still get to interact with your audio
content without the commitment level
that any headphone or earphone is gonna
give the trouble is in the meantime that
they've been working on improving their
product other products have emerged
earbuds and so forth like the recent
Sony earbuds that I featured that I
liked a lot that use microphones to pass
audio through to your ear canal while
you're listening to music or another
audio source even with those products
you still feel there's an augmentation
that's happening so you can hear your
surroundings but you'll feel in them if
being aware of your surroundings is
paramount if you already have another
pair of headphones for those types of
listening sessions and you want
something that's primarily out and about
then it's tough to beat these ones so
with the people jogging on the street
the cyclists you gotta hear guys you're
out there there's the vehicles
distractions the intersections as
maniacs out there but be aware there's
the best way to listen to something and
be aware
