The Mystery Tech Special: A Peculiar Episode

Hey guys, this is Austin and welcome to a very peculiar episode of Mystery Tech. Today, we're going to take a look at the Prime Day special, the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker. This thing seems pretty straightforward, with only a power button as its main feature. However, I'm not sure if it's as simple as it looks. The instructions suggest that we should literally put the egg in and hit the button, without any additional preparation or cooking time.

As I begin to assemble the egg cooker, I realize that this is actually quite a bit more complicated than it initially seemed. We need to attach the boiling handle and pour water into the pot, all while making sure that everything is properly aligned. It's almost like building a tiny little kitchen in here. Once we're done, we plug it in and wait for the egg to cook. But what if something goes wrong? Will we be able to get our egg out?

After some fiddling with the egg cooker, I'm relieved to discover that it actually works quite well. The eggs come out perfectly cooked, and the whole process was surprisingly smooth. Maybe this thing isn't as mysterious as I thought. But wait, what's next? We have the Bose QC 25s headphones in for review.

These things are actually pretty solid. The sound quality is excellent, with clear highs and deep bass. They're also surprisingly comfortable to wear, with a nice headband that fits snugly around my ears. And the best part? They're made for iPhone, which means I don't need any adapters or cables to get them working. It's a small thing, but it makes all the difference.

But not everything is rosy in the world of Mystery Tech. We've got a new TV from Bose that's left us scratching our heads. The deal was that we'd be getting a Fire TV-enabled TV with Amazon Prime access, but what we got was a massive screen that's packed with condensation inside. It's not exactly the kind of thing you want to see on your brand-new TV, especially when it costs $250.

On a more positive note, we've also got some Bose SoundLink Micro speakers in for review. These things are actually quite impressive, considering their small size and waterproof design. They're loud, with a good amount of bass that'll get you moving on the dance floor. And at 70 bucks, they're a steal.

But what's this? An Automaton Sweets device that promises to bring us music and joy? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, let me tell you, it's actually kind of fun. You hold it, move it around, and then it starts making music with a built-in happy face. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie, but in reality, it's just a weird little gadget that makes noise.

As I play around with the Automaton Sweets device, I start to appreciate its quirks and idiosyncrasies. It's not always easy to use, but when it works, it's actually kind of magical. And hey, who knows? Maybe this thing will bring a smile to our faces after all.

But wait, what's next? We've got the SoundLink Micro speaker in for some more testing. This time around, we're going to see if it can really deliver on its promises. Can it produce clear, high-quality sound without overpowering everything else? And how does it compare to other Bluetooth speakers on the market?

As I put the SoundLink Micro through its paces, I'm impressed by its performance. The sound is surprisingly clear and detailed, with a good amount of bass that'll keep you moving on the dance floor. It's not the biggest speaker in the world, but for its size, it packs a punch.

Overall, this episode of Mystery Tech has been a wild ride. We've seen some weird and wonderful gadgets, from the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker to the Bose QC 25s headphones. And while not everything has been a success, we've also discovered some real gems along the way.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- What is this?(upbeat music)Why is there an egg on my table?Hey guys, this is Austin and welcometo a very peculiar episodeof Mystery Tech, this is--What, unprocess your food.A rapid egg cooker?What, you want me tocook an egg right now?This is really the way thatMystery Tech is gonna go today?Oh, it's the Prime Day special!The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker, it'sone-touch cooking in 360 watts.That's a lotta watts, my friends.How much was this on Prime Day?- 12 dollars.- 12 dollars?A relative bargain.It seems pretty straightforward.We're literally looking at a power button,so I guess as long as you don'tleave your eggs in too long it's okay?Ah, this is a whole thing.I just thought I'd just putit in here and hit the button.I didn't realize I haveto actually like do stuff.So I'm going to pour the water in.All right, that's not acrazy amount of water.Next up, I want to attach the boilinghandle and drop it on top.The scary part is goingto be poking a holein the egg 'cause I feel likeI'm about to like break it.This is a bad idea, is thisreally how you do this?(clicking)Oh!Okay, I did it, I did it.This seems reasonable.I'm gonna spin it around so itlooks a little bit nicer on camera.Um, all right, well thisis a really short cable,but I can fix that.What is it on, wait, I just plugged it in.That means it's on already?Wait, wait, wait, no, no, it'snot supposed to be on yet.I didn't start my timer, wait.Okay, I'm gonna start atimer for four minutes.Look, I am not responsiblefor any injuriesthat may or may not occur dueto the use of this egg cooker.But, I mean, I think I did it right.There's water in it.There's a hole in theegg in case it explodes,or whatever that does.There's steam, it feels very warm.Actually, that's super hot,I shouldn't touch that.This seems very reasonable.I see no reason why in three minutesand 32 seconds Ken will not enjoy avery soft-boiled egg that has been--It's not poached, right,that's not what this is?That's a different thing?We are done.(timer beeping)Now, should I open it,it should be okay, right?Ooh, that's hot, okay.Ooh, that looks pretty boiled to me.Look, nothing caught on fire and there's--Almost all our water was boiled off, too.I think we actually got the right amount.Hey, look at that.It actually is boiled and not liquid-yand droopy and making a mess.Whoah, what was that?The Opolar Laptop Cooler.Oh, wow, that.Okay.What are, wait, why?Okay, so this is going tobe an external laptop coolerbecause that always is a good idea.Step one, assemble the--Assem--Assmeble--Assmeble the laptop coolerwith the silicon shroudthen push the coolertoward the exhaust ventuntil the shroud completely covers it.That doesn't look suspicious or anything.(flicking)(laughing)Look, I don't know whythey made it flesh-colored,but we're just gonna move right past that.(laughing)They got a great deal on someextra flesh-colored materials.Okay, so I'm guessing that's gonna be it.This looks, no, there's no way that's--This is not okay.Okay, so with our OpolarLaptop Cooler ready,let's turn it on and see what happens.It's a fan, it's blowing air out this sideand sucking it in from the laptop.The only problem withthings like this is that,well, that's not how this works becausethere's already heat being exhausted.Putting a suction on one end is not goingto help the fan spin any faster.It's just taking the hotair that's coming outof the laptop and making anoise and exhausting it out.So if you wanna do thiswith your laptop all dayby all means, go waste moneyon Amazon like Ken did,but I think it's time to move to the nextthing so I can let go of the flap.Oh my, why, why?(sighing)You bought a TV.What is this even?The Toshiba Fire TV.Um, can I ask how much ofour money you wasted onwhat I'm sure is going to be your new TV?Oh, 250, that's actually not too bad.So if you can't tell our unboxing spacenot really meant forsomething that's this big.So the deal with this is it's actuallygoing to have Fire TV built in.So not only do you have (bleep),but you're also going tobe able to have accessto Amazon Prime.(sighing)This thing is so huge, dude.(plastic crumpling)Uh, that, that's broken.Oh wow, okay, so--Oh, look there's even likecondensation inside of that.That's not what you wanna see on yourbrand new TV even for 250 bucks.Man, that's pretty bad.Well, I gotta say, we'veseen a lotta thingson Mystery Tech, but thisis gonna be a new one.I don't really think there's a wholelot I can do about this one.Bose?This is not weird, this is not terrible.Did you get some reasonable stuff?So we've got the QC 25s aswell as the SoundLink Micro.How much was this?Oh, wow, 70 and 100 dollars?That's actually a pretty solid deal.Man, I don't know what to doabout things that are actuallyfunctioning and arenot total garbage town.This is a really newbit of territory for me.Wait, why are these made for iPhone?They've got a 3.5 mm cable onit, how is it made for iPhone?What?All right, so they come in a prettynice-looking carrying case.Now, these are goingto be noise canceling,but unlike the higher-endmodels they are not goingto be Bluetooth so you aregoing to need a 3.5 mm adapter.Wow, I like the way these feel though.So there's a lot offlexibility as far as you canrotate them, the headbandfeels pretty good.Man, I gotta say, Idon't spend a lotta timewith Bose stuff, but their noisecancellation is so impressive.I mean, it absolutely justsucks any kinda background out.I mean, I think this is an easy one.If you're able to pickthese up for 100 bucks,I mean, that's a no-brainer.Those are really, really nice.Just make sure you havethat noise cancellation on.Next up we have the SoundLink Micro.And I know this is actually a verypopular Bluetooth speaker.One of the main features here isthat not only is it supposedto sound pretty decent,but, that's kinda weird, but okay,we're also going to be getting--It's going to be not only waterproof,but also reasonably rugged.(slow hip hop music)Okay.All right.I mean, for such a tinyspeaker, I'm reallyimpressed with how loud that gets.And there's actually afair bit of bass, too.I think a lotta times whenyou get these small speakersthey've got a good amount of bass,but it's kinda overpowering everything,it's not really that clear of a sound.But, I mean--(hip hop music)For 70 bucks, this is a no-brainer.At 100 it's a littlebit more questionable,but, still, that's a lotta powerin what's a waterproof,nice little chassis.I gotta say, Ken, this isactually not garbage town.Good job.What is this?What, Ken, Ken, oh my god.So, I don't know whatan Automaton Sweets is.So, first of all, you hold it.Second of all, you moveit, and then you make musicwith it and then you have a happy face.Never fails, Ken gets me allexcited with something cooland then he brings me right down to earthwith some stupid crap thatI'm probably gonna hate.Oh, what, what is this?Why does it do that, Idon't want it to do that.That's not okay.(gadget squeaking)Okay, that's kinda fun.(high-pitched squeaking)(laughing)(gadget squeaking)(low-pitched squeaking)And that's the hard out.
