Why would you ever buy AirPods Pro?!
This video is brought to you by ATMOKO and their cordless hair clippers. I'll tell you
more about them at the end of the video. Hello and welcome back to another switched on network video.
I'm paulfp, and these are the ComfoBuds Pro from 1More, they're wireless noise
cancelling earbuds. And with a name like ComfoBuds Pro, I'm hoping that they'll a
be really comfortable in my ears, and be that they'll be good enough in terms of sound quality,
and noise cancellation to warrant that pro name and the title. So the main features of
this are noise cancellation, it has multiple noise cancellation modes,
you've got to strong mild and WNR which stands for wind noise resistance. So I'll be testing that out
a little bit later. It's got AI powered environmental noise cancellation, apparently
powered by three microphones. That's one on the outside, one at the tip mainly for your speech,
I think, and one on the inside. It's got a 13.4 millimetre ultra linear driver with extended bass.
So I'll be testing out the bass sound there. And in terms of power, a 15 minute fast charge will
give you two hours of playtime, up to 28 hours of playtime combined, that's from the battery case,
and the earbuds themselves. However, if you turn on active noise cancellation,
which you're probably going to do if you've got noise cancelling earbuds, then that dose
dropped to six and 14 giving a total of 20 hours, that's still very respectable, not quite as much
as Sony's new top of the line earbuds but then bear in mind, these are less than half the price
of those earbuds. These sit very firmly in the budget end of the market at less than 100 pounds.
I think these are between about 80 and 85 pounds at the time of recording this video, and probably
similar figures in dollars and euros. So it's not fair to directly compare these with things like
the airport's pro from Apple and Sony's new top of the line earbuds. But we're going to be seeing
what these are like in isolation. And if I think they're any good, so let's get the box opened up.
So this is the first time I'm going to be opening these up here on camera, these were sent over by
one more free of charge. But apart from that they're not paying for this video, they're not
telling me what to say or anything like that. So here's the battery case, these come in white or
black, they have that nice red details on both of them. Get the first one out, you sort of
press the and then lift out, remove those and so that's the left one
brasserie sale, I put that back in, and it should There we are.
Charging first impressions is a really nice small compact case. So that's nice for fitting in the
pocket. So the first thing I'm going to do is pop them in my ears and see what ambient noise here
in the studio it gets rid of. The only real noise is I've got a window open because it's really hot,
humid day here in England. And there's also a computer wearing way in the corner there which
you probably can't hear on this little mic but I can hear it to my ears. So this is the left
so the in my ears but I don't think the noise cancellation has kicked in
yet either as an at least because I can still hear that computer.
Let's pair Okay, so now I heard the chime noise cancellation is off at the moment.
And I can definitely still hear the computer over there. So when I turn it on too strong.
That works very well indeed, I can't hear the computer at all anymore.
All I can hear is my tinnitus. So that works very well turn it off.
Now I can hear the word of the computer fan over there in the corner. That's very, very good. Can't
argue with that at all. It's just totally gone, the sound of the computer over there is just gone.
I've got another couple of tests I'm going to do To test the noise cancellation This
is of course completely subjective and you won't really be able to hear this difference
so you're gonna have to rely on me so I'm going to turn the noise cancellation off.
I have a little bit of the didgeridoo in my ears. And then if I run the vacuum cleaner
obviously I can hear that perfectly clearly. But now I'm going to press
strong noise cancellation whilst it's going and just see
by how much it reduces I don't for a minute expect it to go all together but let's have a go
I can still hear it completely taken away for this and melatonin now sounds a bit more high pitched
and I can definitely still hear that was on whilst it was running obviously because it's so loud and
so near but it did take away sort of all the bass and a lot of the mids and it just was giving me
the high end so that's that's interesting. Turn noise cancellation off again. And for this one,
I'm going to put a fan here. Right, so let's
whack this fan on to full volume. This is the sort of sound that noise cancellation is really
for much more than, you know, holding a dice and next year. So this is wearing a ray like this.
And let's turn it on.
I can definitely still hear that, but it's just the highs I can hear now really, rather than
the whole thing. So if you're sleeping in a really hot room,
and you need the front on because it's too hot, but then the noise is keeping you awake, then,
yeah, I guess these could work. That's, that's not too bad at all that I'm
going to try the wind noise reduction next because if I get this to be pointed still.
Now this is probably gonna sound awful for you because it's gonna be blowing
right at my mic. Now I can definitely hear that type sound
in my ears. This is even with the strong noise cancellation on because of course the diaphragms
are the little microphones are being blown away. So now if I turn on wind noise reduction,
I heard a little sound effect in my ear. I don't know if it's made that much difference though.
Turn off again.
Okay, so I can hear the wind. And I think it's taken away a little bit of the bass.
So with the wind noise reduction on, I can definitely still hear that sort of
sound of the wind going gets my ears. If I turn noise cancellation off altogether.
Yeah, it does, it gets a little bit more pronounced a bit deeper and bass here. So it
definitely does reduce it. I'm not saying it does nothing, but it doesn't get rid of it altogether.
I like the little sound effect though. That's nice.
Enough playing around with fans. This is my only fan. Let's see what the sound quality is like on
these. Load up youtube music. That's good. That's good sound quality. drums are coming in. Now.
Obviously, you can't hear this, I'm shouting now. That's a full volume.
Sounded good at full volume, no distortion. One of the benefits of course of noise cancelling
on your earphones is you don't need to have the music as loud if you want to drown out
the world around you. So it's possibly more comfortable to listen to. And it's obviously
better for your hearing as well. I'm going to put on some Foo Fighters. Let's play the pretender.
Sadly, I can't give you any of these sound samples because of copyright. But this is really nice
and clear. There's no bass yet 30 seconds is about to come in. The drums are coming in now,
as perhaps missing a little bit of low end. Something that's nice to see at this price
level is smart playback. This should auto pause the music when I take one of them out my ears.
And it has sorry if I was shouting there. So I imagine this, this little infrared sensor
will be how that works. And if I put it back in my air, they should both play. Yep.
That's really nice to see especially at this price point. The bugs that are in here seem
I would say a little bit large for me normally, devices like this are fitted with the medium ones
by default, but if we have a look at what else you got in here,
we've got a little packet here, which will probably have larger and smaller
earbuds that I can fit on. So I'll try which see which ones are those fit my ears best.
You also get under here a little USB C charging cable charge the battery case
and the little pouch to keep all the bits and bobs in Well, could you put the battery case
in your little pocket? Let's see, would it fit in there? yes it would. That's
that's very nice to see that fits really nicely in that pocket. Whereas some other ones I have
that wouldn't to the battery case is of course, the main thing you charge up and then that holds
more charged on the earbuds and then that charges the earbuds from them so you can charge at the
battery case to for them when the earbuds run down. You put them in the battery case,
and they keep topped up. From there. This video is brought to you by at MOCA who sent us over
their hair clippers which is something else from which you can ditch the wires and go wireless with
five hours of runtime you can go literally months between charges. So if lockdowns left you battling
with an unruly mop of hair and you want to be able to cut yours and your family's Hair at Home, this
kit has absolutely everything you need, including 10 different multicoloured attachments going from
numbers one to eight plus a left and right ear, taper, barber scissors, comb brush carry case
and even a cape. It's USB chargeable. So it's super convenient. And even if you run it down,
a 15 minute charge will give you 30 minutes of cutting time, check out the link in the video
description for more details. So verdict for my initial thoughts, the app seems good and easy to
use, it's only got basic functionality, there's no EQ that I can see, which is a little bit of
a shame, but you can use it to change the noise cancellation settings, change the smart playback,
and also change what happens when you touch it hold double tap or tap three times on the left
and right, I think they feel feel comfortable in my ears, the sound quality seems good, a little
bit lacking in the low end punch, maybe I'd like it to be a little bit firmer. But you know, very,
very acceptable sound quality, especially if you're using them when you go out for a run or
for a bike ride or something like that. If you are going for a run, then you'd obviously want to use
pass through the outside world is pumped in and mixed with the music so you can hear
other cars and other hazards around you. But I'm impressed so far. And at this price point.
When you get quality that's that's this good. Why would you really spend more than double on
Sony or Apple's top of the line earbuds, it may be a build quality thing, maybe those will last
longer. And these won't obviously I've got no way of telling that because I've only
opened these for the first time today. But if you're watching this video, and it's six or 12
months in the future, drop me a comment and ask me how they're going and if they're still good,
but from what I see here so far, I'd have no hesitation in recommending these. And I'll
put an affiliate link in the video description if you'd like to buy some for yourself. But if
you've enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up. Comment below and let me know what earbuds you
use if you use any at all. And if you haven't already, please do subscribe to the switched on
network channel so you get lots more videos like this covering technology gadgets and the internet.
But that's it for today. Thanks a lot, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now.
