Peeps what's going on it's Karl here back with another episode
and in this one we're checking out something that's kind of been bugging me for the last little bit looking at headphones
and I know that there are a couple of wireless headphones that just got released
the Beats X's Apple Airpods
and it kind of comes to the point where you are looking for a pair of headphones that won't break the bank
yet you want the best quality in terms of headphones that you can get
I think there's some sort of a graph that can better illustrate this
Apple Airpods we'll place it here
pair of other headphones that I'm using here
we'll create some axis' feels like I'm back in school
on this scale we're gonna say this is the most expensive so this is a lot of dollar signs a lot of bling
down here small alo- small alount small amount of bling
little 'q' for little quality and big q for high-quality
Apple Airpods for example they are a shitload of money so they're somewhere up here
but unfortunately the quality is just meh
Airpods. Obviously Apple they're allowed to charge a ton of money and people will buy them that's why they're always sold out
Now ideally you want to spend the least amount of money that you can but have the highest quality
This is the Unicorn the Holy Grail of headphones or any usually tech product
usually doesn't work that way
You also don't want to have a pair of headphones that cost nothing ten twenty dollars and they sound like shit
because you're just wasting your money too cheap to buy poor you want to stay out of this area too
This pair of headphones that I've been rocking recently these are the NU Force BE6i
and they are the best sounding bluetooth headphones that I've found and also don't cost an arm and a leg
they are around a hundred bucks so I'm going to stay they're around here
and the quality is Cha Ching
We're kind of getting to the unicorn people know that they don't exist
but what I'm trying to kind of reiterate with this awful graph
is I might have found the best bluetooth headphones with good sound and quality that maybe don't break the bank
Does that make sense?
So away from the graphs what I've been finding with Airpods as I use them in the gym especially
you kind of have two options when someone I guess gets your attention you want to take one out
you're now left with the dilemma of holding this in either your hand trying to find the little chiclet style case
which I never bring with me since these are always in my backpack
or kind of just awkwardly hold them put them into your pocket which kind of results in the first issue
you forget where you place them and these get lost
Traditional bluetooth headphones that are still technically wireless as the main cable just wraps around your neck
somewhat solve that issue when you take these out they now rest on your neck
and when you're doing sets they don't really affect your workout as you don't have cables
so I'm leaning towards this kind of design for pure wireless headphones
I think a lot of people do agree with me on that
So the BE6i sound way better than my Airpods
excited to test these out against new Beats X wireless headphones
hoping to get those in the studio soon
I'm not gonna pretend to be an audiophile I do like my bass a bit heavier
these aren't too overbearing and across the entire audio range lows and mids they kind of hit that sweet spot for me
not to mention they're built out of aluminum so they feel very premium
and this of course nice little feature they connect up top so they don't get tangled
still can't get over the fact that I've lost one and a half of these that means three individual Airpods have gone missing on me
still using this day to day seems to work just fine
and my pocket is happy as I'm not burning a hundred and sixty bucks or close to two hundred dollars up here in Canada
so I guess I'm winning on both friends
in terms of battery life i'm getting around eight to nine hours of continuous use maybe four to five times in the gym / going home
so once a the week I'm usually charging these guys maybe one thing that I would love to see in the future perhaps a USB-C port to charge
unfortunately microUSB but still doesn't distract too much of the overall experience
and if you are looking for something specifically for the gym they also have a pair of BE Sport3 headphones
and I'm actually saving these for a special Best Tech Gifts episode
Valentine's Day we've got one in pink one in black perfect opportunity I won't spoil too much of what's coming
I'll leave that linked up here hopefully but also another solid pair and these ones are also slightly cheaper
but these ones just specifically more for the gym
have a higher IP certification IP55 so rain sweat and dust-resistant perfect for you hard for people that like to do hardcore stuff I-
tough moderators(?) working out in the rain
whatever kind of floats your boat. So I hope this video was useful for people
that are looking to buy a pair of headphones that have the overall best
sound performance and overall package and the overall experience
but you're not paying something as ludacris as a pair of Airpods which in the end don't even sound that great anyways
and I know they're not ten to twenty dollars and people always want what's best for the cheapest amount
but I think if you invest into this pair you definitely won't be disappointed
they do come with a bunch of other accessories that I haven't even touched
a nice little carrying case different bud size I just kept my all stock
and since I'm since I'm being super awesome I'm actually working with NU Force to give a fresh pair away
so just make sure you comment down below on your potential favorite feature or perhaps where you'd be using these headphones
and if you guys really want I guess I could give these away aswell you would just have a bit of my earwax in them
and if you're ok with that just let me know down below in the comments aswell I will do my best to clean these
but your best bet is probably to use a fresh tip
or not I'll catch the rest of you in one of my next episodes or in one of my next vlogs
Peace
