What's up guys
Lew here back with another video
and today
I've got something that I wanted to try out for a long time
but haven't had the chance to
This is...
bone conduction audio
from a company called Aftershokz
These are the Bluez 2S
Lew, What is bone conduction...
audio
Essentially these things sit in front of your ears.
What
No, not in them, in front of them
and you got some fancy anatomical action going on inside of your skull.
right here
That somehow allows audio to be transferred via your bones.
Never thought I would want that
The future. Premium pitch stereo sound, sweat resistant, 6 hours of battery life they are wireless.
That's what they look like there.
The benefit here is that you don't have something obstructing your actual ears, these guys.
Little bit of a first here
Look at that Ferrari Red right there
They also have a noise canceling microphone there
Will it even work with glasses? Let's see here
Look at that
Jack you see that there?
So it's one size fits all type deal
That's your power switch aswell as your USB port for charging these up.
volume controls are there aswell
I guess all the bone conduction magic happens on this section right here
Interesting
Micro USB to charge it up
weird rubbery thing, I'm guessing this is to give you a stickier fit
stickier maybe tighter
I guess it's somewhat adjustable
Little traveling pouch
Honestly the most surprising thing about these to me was the reviews on Amazon.
People like them
Apparently these are the way to go
So of course this is the moment of truth
This is why you tune in your favourite show here on YouTube
Oh wow
Letting me know they're now in pairing mode
Ooh this is exciting guys!
Bluez 2S
Hmm, there's something interesting about not having
headphones in your ears but instead infront of them
Look at me I'm moving I'm boxing
I'm playing basketball maybe?
and, I can hear the real world
Oh there's like a vibration to it
Woahhh
That is an odd sensation
it's like somebody's
tickling me
not that I don't like that
Jack stay away from me
okay so it's not obstructing my hearing
I can hear what's around me
are we getting a lot of bleed out of them?
No..?
but it's clear I mean it sounds like they're in.. it's very odd
It sounds like they're in my ears but they're not
I'm also interested in these not just for music but for listening to podcast's
This is SO weird
for a podcast it sounds great
but I can still talk to you it's very bizarre
listen they're not blasting my head away like a pair of
real
but there's a different kind of thump to it because of the vibration
I don't think I'd use them to replace my actual headphones but there's something about them I like
would it be wierd to say that it tickles in a pleasant way?
I can hear my surroundings
but it's like there's a soundtrack going on along with it
and it's tapped into my brain it's like the sound
is it's already there it's in my brain
What if you're like some kind of mastermind surgeon
you like to have classical music on
Mozart or something
This is way more fleshed out than I had imagined
not a gimmick
very cool and as I said ealier
tickles.. in a pleasant way
Ohhahhhh
