- Yo guys, Jonathan here
and I'm crazy excited for what is inside this box.
To the naked eye, it might appear as if it were everyday
run of the mill box-o-AirPods, but on the contrary,
what is actually inside here is something exclusive,
something you haven't seen before,
the world's first pair of jet black AirPods.
So with that said I am stoked to dive in
and check these out in person to see what the hype is about
so let's go ahead and flip it around.
From there we're gonna dive in, do a little Dexter work
and cut this box up.
I should probably be cutting away from me,
so kids do not repeat after me,
but like Fogel, we are in.
So once we take that off, we can then...
Holy crap, even the case
is jet black.
From first glance this is really close
to the jet black iPhone.
I'm gonna have to compare that in a minute.
But for now, let's unveil the glorious jet black AirPods.
And holy crap, they do not disappoint.
Look at the attention to detail on these guys,
the smooth, glossy black coats,
every single part of this AirPod is flawless.
There are no spaces, there are no gaps.
And I'm not quite sure what kind of wizardry
were used to pull this off.
Now when you compare these against the now classic
stock white AirPods,
you can really start to see the attention to detail
from the speaker grill, down to the left and right icon
and I can't even begin to fathom how tedious
this must have been, pulling apart such a tiny piece of tech
and painting every single nook and cranny so precisely.
From there, stackin' it side by side against a jet black
iPhone 7, you can see these two are a match made in heaven
and it really makes you wish
Apple would've released these outta the gate.
They sadly did not,
but fortunately Colorware stepped in
and made that dream a reality.
Now as awesome as these look aesthetically,
I do want to test out a couple things to make sure
the paint does not affect functionality.
So we'll start out with the connection test.
So just like that, the W1 chip is comin' in clutch
and I can connect instantly
just like any normal pair of AirPods.
From there, now that I'm connected
I'm gonna take 'em out and pop 'em in my ears,
I really like looks of the black and the white interior
inside the case.
It kind of gives off this cool piano vibe.
Right out the box, we got this connection tone in my ear
so now it's time to play some music
and AirPods are working perfectly.
The other thing I'm curious about is whether or not
the paint affect the sensor on the AirPods
so I'm gonna pop it out, instantly the song is paused,
I'm gonna pop them back in, and as it normally should
the song automatically resumes so the paint is not affecting
anything here.
Next I'm gonna go test out Siri by double tapping.
Next song.
That also works perfectly.
And if you caught my one month later video on these AirPods
you know, that is my least favorite way to control these
but it is nice to know nothing is affected by the custom
paint job.
Now disclaimer, what I'm about to do next is not something
I would advise.
Colorware does not advertise this, nor does Apple
with the AirPods being water resistant,
but I was curious to see how the paint reacts to water.
In my mind it's kinda gonna simulates sweat.
So with that said, lets kinda jump into it.
(plop)
(upbeat music)
Yup.
They're in there.
Nope.
(laughing)
So now we shall see.
So far it,
doesn't look like the paint is bleeding or anything.
Let's first see if I could actually get my hand in here.
Oh it's cold.
The AirPods seem so far so good.
I'm gonna pop it in.
Left ear in.
Right ear in.
Got a little, bath for my ears.
Now it is time to see if the AirPods still work,
fingers crossed!
And thank god, they do.
Taking a closer look at the painted AirPods,
those look really good as well.
So as far as the tests go,
we nailed every single one!
So it passes the looks department,
it passes the functionality department
and at the end of the day, Colorware did a
killer job on these.
Not gonna lie though, after see these
stack side by side against the matte black iPhone 7,
I think I might kinda want to go that route.
Part of me is torn though, maybe to go to that TLD blue.
And part of me really wants to ask Colorware to do
a retro version of these just like dream desk three
where they got that nice matte tan
with a retro Apple logo on the case.
And if that's something you guys wanna see
let me know by dropping a like down below.
There are a ton of customization options
from gloss to matte to metallic.
The possibilities are almost endless.
So the good news is, these are finally here.
They're a reality.
But the bad news is the press is so hot,
everyone wants to get their hands on these,
so they're a little hard to get but
fortunately, I bought three extra pairs of AirPods
to send the Colorware and custom paint anyway you want.
For a chance to win one of those pairs of custom painted
AirPods, all you gotta do is

You can do that by clicking here.
Then for the other two, I'm giving away one on Instagram,
and one on Twitter,
so go ahead and follow me there for the details.
Aside from that, tahnk you guys very much for watching,
and stay tuned because I'm dropping the $500 desk setup
this Sunday.
Super stoked to launch it.
This is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later.
(beep)
Oh man!
I just splashed all over myself.
