- Today we waste $1,400 on mystery tech.
Usually it's Ken who's doing the wasting.
However, today he decided to let his Twitch followers
spend all the money for this episode.
So if it sucks, you know who to blame, yourself.
(chill music)
Hello, welcome to "Mystery Tech".
Fish Belli Pet one inch pet apatosaurus.
I have a, wait, that's a tattoo!
I get to put on a tattoo!
- [Matt] Hold pressure on that for a couple minutes.
- Okay, I'm thoroughly holding.
Okay, I think it's gotta be good, right?
Ooh, look at that!
That right there is some A+ quality.
- [Ken] It matches your Taco Bell shirt.
- Wait, can I make him fly?
- [Matt] Wow, what a literal flex.
- With a fresh tattoo let's see what's in the box.
(Austin laughs)
Wait, that's it?
Just a little dinosaur.
I'm not sure what I expected.
- [Ken] It's not tech, but it's nice.
- Are we changing the name
of "Mystery Tech" to "Mystery Nice"?
This is not Roboraptor, to be clear,
that this is Roboraptor X,
but he can have his little buddy there.
Thank you very much for watching
this episode of "Mystery Tech".
You subscribe to the channel, right?
I mean, obviously now that I've gotten
a permanent dinosaur tattoo of Roboraptor's
weird fourth cousin, twice removed,
you know you gotta subscribe to the channel.
What are you waiting for?
Hit the bell.
You're waiting for the tech?
Is that the joke?
You're trying to make fun of me
'cause I don't have any tech? Guess what?
That's your fault because you didn't buy any tech.
That looks like tech.
Good job, Ken.
That was very well-timed.
- [Ken] By the way, this item, you might be wondering...
- Was it really expensive?
- [Ken] You might be wondering why it's not a box,
first of all.
Because it is not retail packaging,
but the company that sent it to us
is sponsoring today's "Mystery Tech".
- We have a sponsor for "Mystery Tech"?
We have a sponsor for "Mystery Tech"!
Yes, yes!
The years of wasting money are over.
What is this?
- [Matt] That is the Duolink, your first speaker buds.
- Speaker buds?
Wow, me and my buds hanging out with my speaker buds.
Is this the one that breaks in, oh.
So essentially it's a stereo speaker that's magnetic,
when you take it apart,
and then you actually have the earbuds themselves.
Okay, so they sound pretty good.
So I think the thing that's interesting about them
is that the buds themselves
have a lot of really good passive noise cancellation.
So literally just putting them in your ears
blocks out a lot of noise.
But on top of that you have
the capacitive touch on the back,
to play and pause, as well as change your volume.
What I wanna do is,
how does it work with the actual speaker?
Do I just put them in?
- [Matt] Yes.
- Okay.
(dynamic music) Oh!
I did it.
Wait, how'd I do that?
Wait, you just put them back in, that's it?
Wait, what happens if I take it out?
Oh, whoa, it's like instant.
Yo!
Okay, okay, okay, that's actually pretty cool.
Woo.
- [Matt] That's the, there ya go.
- Yeah.
Look, we're like filling the room with sound right now.
Yo, this is like actually stereo effect
from all the way over here.
Yo, this is pretty rad.
So how much is Duolink?
- [Matt] At the time of shooting,
you can pick them up on Kickstarter for $99.
- This is 99 bucks?
- [Matt] Yup, and when it goes full retail,
it would only be 150.
- That's actually really solid.
So even at $100, or even $150, but especially at $100.
I mean the in-ear headphones themselves
are almost worth that.
And that's not even considering that you have the speaker,
which as far as I'm concerned is kind of the coolest part.
I mean, sure, there've been
wireless earbuds around in the past.
But the idea of combining it with a Bluetooth speaker
that can actually break apart,
and it all charges and syncs together,
that's really rad.
So definitely be sure to go check out Duolink
at the link in the description
and get yourself some sweet audio action.
(upbeat music)
Sweet audio action, is that really the way I said that?
Sweet audio action.
- Yeah. - Sweet audio action.
- [Matt] Those are words that came out of your mouth.
- Hm, well, thank you very much
for sponsoring this video Duolink.
And thank you very much for allowing me
to enjoy your sweet audio action.
So I just doubled down on that one.
Just so you're aware.
I caught it.
Wonder Bread, oh, Ken.
First think I see, best if used by weeks ago.
Is that another toaster?
- [Matt] It's not just a toaster, it's a Revolution.
- Okay, here's the thing.
There was an episode of "Mystery Tech" a little while ago
where Ken bought a very, very expensive Japanese toaster,
which was touted to be the world's greatest toaster.
And after mercilessly making fun of him,
I realized that it actually was a very good toaster,
and I legitimately use it every day.
How much was the Revolution Cooking Toast-o-matic 1400?
- [Ken] $300.
(chill music)
- That's a really big screen.
Oh, you know what though?
It comes up fast.
Oh!
- [Ken] Fancy.
- So you know the one thing I actually
don't like about normal toasters?
We're all friends here, I can admit this.
A little scary.
A little scary. - What?
- [Matt] Are you afraid of toasters?
- Look, I appreciate some toasted bread.
But everything's fine, it's nice and quiet,
all of sudden, bang!
And then your bread pops up.
It's a very frightening sound.
- [Matt] It's very silent. (toaster beeps)
Oh, how fun.
- Okay, yeah, this is actually pretty good.
This is pretty good, Ken.
You got me with a toaster again.
It's very hot.
It's crisped.
- Oh that is literally perfect.
(toast crunches)
Oh wow.
Whoa, whoa!
- Calm down.
Whoa!
What, that's actually pretty good.
- [Matt] It's toast.
- No but it-- - It's plain toast.
- The consistency.
- [Matt] Could you guys be any whiter right now?
- The consistency.
- [Matt] Yeah, I know who I'm talking to.
- All right, we're gonna go pastry, fresh, start.
- [Matt] Bold to say that's fresh, but...
Give me my Pop-Tart.
- Mm.
You get one Pop-Tart, I get the other one.
- Everyone knows you eat two, okay.
- Get outta here.
You think I'm not gonna eat a Pop-Tart?
I mean, I'm not exactly a Pop-Tart reviewer,
but if I were to review the Revolution toaster,
it may not be a revolution.
- [Ken] Would you pay $300 for it, with your own money?
- Absolutely not.
Not a chance.
But, it does a pretty good job.
Also, I like Pop-Tarts.
That's a lot of Pop-Tarts, imagine $300 in Pop-Tarts.
I think I'd rather have that.
Okay.
Not another one of these.
Okay so, so this is 12 inch HD mobile phone
screen amplifier with Bluetooth speaker.
What that really means, if you speak non-marketing,
is it's a little piece of plastic in front of the screen
to magnify it, and a Bluetooth speaker, and a little stand.
I can most assuredly guarantee you
that it will not look like this.
It's gonna look bad.
Can we just take a second and acknowledge
that these are a bunch of stock photos
with it horribly photoshopped.
And look, there's these two girls,
and there's like part of a phone.
This guy who's on like a laptop and they put it in front.
Best gift for the old.
Like this one, which just doesn't even make...
That is some of the worst photoshopping I have ever seen.
Oh man, this is cheap, cheap.
This is like that dirt-cheap plastic.
How much was this Bluetooth speaker combination?
- [Ken] $25.
- That is about $21 too expensive.
So here is our obligatory piece of plastic,
which is going to quote unquote magnify our screen.
So this is what we used for the Switch, right?
The Switch Lite?
- It's similar, actually that is a very similar.
Oh that, yup, also as creepy as I remember.
Wow!
Whoa!
- Woo, woo.
There we go.
Wait, here you can have this.
There we go. - Psychedelic.
- This is Ken's new camera lens.
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
We're almost there, we're almost there.
Okay.
If I look at it like this, yeah, this is a good view.
I think this is great.
I'm just gonna say, don't waste your money
on one of these things 'cause they all suck.
We've done like five of them on "Mystery Tech".
But if you're looking for a really cool camera filter,
boom, there you go.
See, boring HD vision, fun-o-vision.
Who doesn't want to have some fun-o-vision?
Certainly not me.
Is that a Furby? - It is a Furby.
- So before I even open up the Furby Boom,
Ken how much was this?
'Cause I remember hearing stories
that this was a very popular kid's toy
and they were very expensive.
- [Ken] So I paid $55 for this.
- Like five-five? - Five-five.
- Oh, that's not so bad.
Okay. - Scratch that.
Add an extra $100 to that.
- It was $150? - Yes.
(funky music)
Okay, all right.
Oh, that's that's disturbing, if you open up its eyes
and they're just blank and soulless.
Oh.
All right. - I know that feeling.
- Are you okay, Matt? - No.
My cries for help are loud.
(Furby chattering)
(Roboraptor roaring)
- Roboraptor, Roboraptor.
Roboraptor, Roboraptor.
(toys chattering)
Are they talking right now?
Wait, does Roboraptor like the Furby?
(Furby singing)
What, Roboraptor's all excited!
- [Matt] This is the first thing
he hasn't immediately attacked.
(beeps)
The Furby has turned Roboraptor against us.
- No!
Is this how we lose Roboraptor?
- [Furby] No way.
- Oh, yeah! - Get him Roboraptor!
- Yeah!
There we go, that's what I'm talking about.
It's okay, don't worry about that.
It's fine.
Okay, well Roboraptor's excited.
This is the collectable
Good Tiger Electronics Wheel of Fortune.
More toys?
Actually, I like Wheel of Fortune though.
Okay, let's go, round one.
Okay.
Event, spin.
(upbeat music)
$500.
Can I get a...
Wait, E, what?
I'm player two?
Why would I not be player one?
(toy buzzing and beeping)
Oh, it's broken.
It's just the E button is being constantly pressed.
- [Ken] Oh that's sad.
- [Matt] Give it a good whack.
(toy beeping)
- Yeah, doesn't work.
Ta-dah, it's me, hello.
"Mystery Tech" time.
Ooh, it's a big one.
A keyboard.
Oh, it's a bad keyboard!
A bad keyboard!
The Advantage Two ergonomic keyboard.
Ken, I've always looked at these
and I always think they look so stupid.
So recently we took a look at some of the best
mechanical keyboards that you can buy,
or customize, and even build.
And after that I have a much finer appreciation
for this kind of stuff.
So, for reference, in this particular typing test
I average around 70 to 90
based on the keyboard, words per minute.
So let's see how this one works.
Oh, that is really bad.
I have to look down 'cause I don't know where anything is.
19 words per minute with 93% accuracy.
Okay, so look, if this is something that is helpful for you,
I get the idea of this being very ergonomic.
Look, I mean, how I'm resting my wrists here,
I guess it doesn't feel super comfortable
right out the gate.
But I think that I am fortunate enough not to have
really any carpal tunnel issues,
but it's an interesting concept.
It actually does work.
But this is something that you really need to commit to,
you really need to get very much acquainted with,
and then it might be all right.
But I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon.
Vufine, a heads-up display to integrate with your devices
for a hands-free experience.
This isn't, is this the Google Glass except dumb?
- [Matt] So you mean Google Glass?
- I walked straight into that one.
Okay, so we have our instruction manual.
And, is this it?
Oh wow, that's just a...
Okay.
So I just do this.
- [Ken] And most importantly, you can use it
with your prescriptions, if I understand it correctly.
(chill music)
- I don't think I'm using it right.
- [Ken] Definitely not, no.
- Uh, uh, this is very strange.
So I essentially can see what's on the PC screen.
It's pretty sharp.
I think the display is only like 540p.
But because, to my eye, it's like,
they say it's like a four inch screen,
it's very, very small.
But I can very clearly read
what's on the laptop screen right now.
I can see the zero, zeros on the fans.
The problem is though, if you see,
it keeps pulling my glasses off my face.
So you have to find some way of managing your cable.
It's interesting, it's cool.
I don't think it's worth 200 bucks.
Thank you very much for watching
