so over the years I've looked at a lot
of headphones here on the channel I'm
sure you're aware that you've probably
seen some of those videos nowadays it's
kind of like hey what's it gonna take to
get me excited how is somebody gonna do
something different today I've got a
whole lot of different the product is
called Vinci smart headphones you may
have seen these guys on Kickstarter they
raised close to a million dollars
they put an entire display on one of the
ear cups these things can operate
standalone without a smartphone in fact
there's even a SIM card slot on here
voice controlled hands-free experience
there's sixteen gigabytes of local
storage inside the headphones so you can
load songs right on to the headphones
and leave your smartphone at home it
supports Wi-Fi Bluetooth and 3G
connections so that's what the SIM card
slot is for now you can have a
standalone Spotify or SoundCloud player
I guess it also has activity tracking 21
days of standby time 26 hours of
Bluetooth playback in 10 hours if its
standalone
it also supports HD voice through LTE so
there's a lot going on turns out these
are only 149 now they do come in a few
different colors have we ever had a box
with this kind of coloring on it before
that is wild okay I have no name until
you name me I have no form until you
shake me I don't exist until you make me
I am Vinci I am waiting deep inside you
touch my spark and let me light you give
me life and I'll revive you I am Vinci
oh wow that's a change of pace one free
month of wireless service with t-mobile
ooh okay not as heavy as I expected
considering there's a screen on the
earcup this is the screen that's the SIM
card tray micro USB to charge it up a
mini jack connector so you could use it
wired if you wanted to that looks to be
the heart rate sensor the micro USB
charge cable auxiliary cable to use it
wired to activate your Vinci please
connect to a Wi-Fi okay let's do that
now there's also a voice assistant
built-in here and since the brains are
completely
built-in and it's not relying on your
phone it's got its own assistant
that make any sense what I just said you
guys ever listen to what I say one of
you now you can have this always-on or
only when you're wearing them I guess
always-on is fine now there's a couple
of different services that you can
connect here by default there's Spotify
SoundCloud and Amazon Alexa swipe
horizontally to change tracks swipe
vertically to adjust volume tap once to
pause tap twice to save to favorites
hold to talk Wi-Fi on and off there's an
airplane mode bluetooth on and off it
looks like you can use this as a regular
Bluetooth headset there's a music
visualizer oh look at that
oh you can even do your own DIY oh so
it's like one music service or the other
I guess
now what if I just want to search
something on Spotify I wonder play Led
Zeppelin okay here we go we got a song
playing guys
[Music]
play Daft Punk play wu-tang Clan no
these are good guys these are cool I can
see one issue being when you're offline
right when you're offline then you're
stuck with whatever music you have
loaded on here these are cool I didn't
expect to be saying this these are cool
it's not Google assistant maybe make me
it'll get there one day the way she
talks super robotic these should be like
Spotify branded or something because
it's a very unique way of interacting
with Spotify without the need for a
secondary device I could go for a jog
cellphone-free
just quickly turn it down quickly turn
it up I'm not sure how much attention
you want like you could turn that off if
you want you're not gonna be bumping
into people who've got visualizers on
their headphones to record please say
start recording start recording this is
for like voice memos you have a killer
idea you got the best idea ever I need
to put it down and even lay it down play
recording the sound is okay like it's
nothing special stop blowing me away
it's kind of what I would expect in this
particular price range it does take a
SIM card you can use this thing with 3G
which should be plenty to stream Spotify
so bluetooth it functions like any other
Bluetooth headset you toggle it on or
off here the idea of putting a screen on
headphones is just not something I
thought would ever be necessary but
because the capacitive input is so
sensitive it's a little more smooth
interacting with it when it's on your
head when compared with a bunch of
buttons and switches I'm gonna go ahead
and say you should check these out I'll
drop a link down in the description they
do come in a couple of different colors
and they've got a model coming out on
Kickstarter it might be active right now
man turn some heads a screen on your ear
cup the future
