I look forward to your future content. Your fan, Eric.
Eric, thank you very much. See, I have to deal with Mystery Tech from these guys and they just try to make fun of me all the time. This is legitimately awesome.
My favorite part about that letter is he says he's been watching us for a month. He's got us figured out to a tee - (laughing) In one month, he's got it down.
Right now, you really look like the kid from Polar Express, like the know-it-all kid. What? Know-it-all kid?
I think you need your ticket. (laughing off camera)
So we got a USB-A end on one side and then the mouse, which I will say is very heavy for a mouse which makes sense because surprise, surprise, Bluetooth. I mean not Bluetooth, USB Skype phone.
(cursed Windows sound blaring) What the hell?
Well that came outta the mouse, so it's probably a good sign. Oh, also let me hang on, let me just plug in my headset to my mouse. There we go. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Mouse is mouseing. Oh my God.
It sets up as a USB audio device. So unfortunately I don't think the screen is gonna work without the Windows XP drivers. This my friends is an audio test of the USB VoIP mouse.
That speaker has to be blown. (recording playing over phone) (laughing)
The fact that this thing is probably 20 years old, I just plugged it in and immediately works. There's something behind that. Can we please have the next item? - [Recording Playing Back] Can we please have the next item?
Oh. Jared, that was like a solid 15 feet away. We have a very small item. This is, oh, the Sony Link Buds.
These are actually some headphones I've been wanting to try for a while. So my everyday carry headphones are the Sony 1000XM4's featured on our previous episode of Mystery Tech, and I honestly love these headphones a lot.
While comfort is not their strong suit, the sound is great, the fact that they easily pair between lots of devices whether it's Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, whatever is terrific. Now the idea with the Link Buds is that these are along that same kind of line, except for the fact that they're really heavily focusing on comfort as well as giving you that oral experience that you're really looking for.
Aural, aural dude. Oral.
With these headphones, you can hear your surroundings because they have a little hole in them for your ears. So we looked at Xperia Buds or something like that a couple of years ago on Mystery Tech.
They were kind of a similar idea but those didn't sound particularly good, but I hear that these might be a little better. You hear that they sound a little better? Oh, that's tiny.
This is a good start. I always look for smaller headphone cases so they fit in my pocket. And I'm gonna tell you with resounding, absolutely.
No, uh. It's a little strange because there's no real like ear tips. Oh wow, that feels like there's literal nothing in my ears.
There is zero passive isolation, like I can hear absolutely exactly the same. Immediately say, lack of bass, right? Which makes sense, considering that you don't actually have like a sealed sort of chamber.
It's kind of wild that I'm listening to this volume at like actually maybe a little louder than I normally would and I can have a completely normal conversation with everyone in the room right now. Even with transparency mode, I still feel like that's really difficult for me to do.
Okay, so here's something else that's unique about these. You're not supposed to actually touch the earbuds; you're supposed to touch around your ears or something, I'm not entirely sure how that works. Oh!
Does it work? Does it work? Yo, that's wild. So I'm actually not touching the earbuds; I'm touching like my ear.
On. Off. Austin. Yo, it works. (laughing) (light smack)
Double tap. Paused. (laughing) I like these headphones a lot. My only question here is the long-term comfortability after using them for a few hours. I think these might be my headphones.
So what you're saying is, I'm buying a personal pair. Yeah, what I'm saying is you don't get to steal these; these are mine now.
Great.
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(tense upbeat music)- All I saw was something--- Okay, Neo.- Flying out of the corner of my eyeto the point where I definitelyjust gave myself rug burn.My hand is actually very red,I don't know if you can see thatbut this is what you did to me.Okay, that's...It's much harder to open than I thought.Okay, I got it.I told you, it's much harderto open than I thought.(laughing)How dare you?Nix Color Sensor.What's the point of a color sensor?This table is brown,I learned that this table is brown.Excellent.Hold on, here we'll see that--What color's my shirt?Dark yellow.Let's see what color is Mewtwo?- Did you know what colors are?- It's not gonna work.It's gonna be too dark.- You can't askthe audience what color they are.- Black.The camera's black.Oh God, oh God, oh God.Got it.What's up?The Aqua Shift Xbox Series X controller.Is that-- Are you about to tell methat this is gonna show up as aqua?- But what's cool about these guysis that the grips are all unique.There's no two that are alike.- Ooh, yo, that looks awesome.- Oh, I like that.- Wow.And yet you can see that the grips,you see how they're very, likeit almost looks like it's beenlike hydro dipped or something.- Wait, no, no, no, no.- My jeans.- Oh.- Mystery Tech.That was actually really gentle and kind.We have Mountain.Oh, okay.So Mountain is actually somethingwe featured on the channel before.They had that crazy modular keyboardthat you could attach a number row,you could add like littledial, all kinds of stuff.I guess they have more things.- They say herein their press pack,139 for the keyboard itself.- Okay.- Keyboard andkey caps together is 160.And I believe that the number padthat's to the left ofit, which is really coolbecause it hooks upmagnetically and has connectorsis an extra 40 bucks.- That's a value proposition right there.Especially if thiskeyboard does sound as niceas I assume it would.Ooh, all right.All right, all right.Let me take a look at this.Oh wow.(keys clanking)- Oh, I like that.Oh, put it down, put it down,put it down, put it down.Wait, I'm curious, wait.- Wait, hey!- I wanna try it!- No, next. I'm first, I'm first.(keys clattering)- Okay, these pre-builts never soundthat great.- That great.- That is probablythe best sounding space barI've heard from a pre-built.- Oh yeah, thisis on another level.You also have a number of switches here,which I've gotta say I'm more partialto the white and the green, I think.- I am too, yeah.- This is a little bitmore of a Denki style.If I were to pick something.- Oh no, no.Denki colors are the ones that you wantbut I'll let you have your pick.- No, it's okay.Honestly, I feel like there'sa Denki video in this.I'm actually gonna seal this up unlessyou have a crack at it.So I've typed on this for a few minutesand there are a few big takeaways.For me personally, I'm abig fan of this layout.Now of course because it's a 60% keyboard,you are missing some things, right?So you don't have a function rowand the entire thing has beenshrunk down a little bit.So one of the specific things they've doneis they've shrunk your right shiftto incorporate the abilityof having full arrow keys.For me, totally fine,I'm a left shift boy.And having the arrow keys is somethingthat I just can't not have,like I just need thatfor any keyboard I use.As a fan of linearswitches, these feel great.And honestly, head and shoulders abovepretty much any pre-builtkeyboard that I've triedbecause most keyboards donot have lubed switches.Most do not have great stabilizersand basically very few have any kindof real sound dampening on the inside.If Mountain's out here doing thisand like Razer isn't, I'm just saying.- What's that laptopyour using right there?- Oh, is that a Razer Blade 15,that we just did a This Is on?- He did it.- Wow.- He did the thing!- Wow, he promoted, This Is.- You can only see him slightlyhaving an aneurysm right now.(laughing off camera)This is my Joker origin storyis right this moment right now.- Hisense A7 high res audio.Is this a phone?- This is an item I found.- A Jared exclusive item.All right, I'm more excited now.So let's see what we got.Is that a (beep) E Ink phone?Say psych.(laughing)Look how big this device is.This is an iPhone 13 Pro for context.- This was 750 imported from eBay.- A lot of money, okay.I know that E Ink tablets have existed.An E Ink phone though is wild to me.Can someone please explain to mewhy you want an E Ink phone?- 12 days of battery life.- 12 days?- I don't know, I made that up.- Wait, no, Iwanna use the camera.How good is the camera?- Camera's pretty impressive.- Wow, it's got a builtin black and white mode,'cause all black and white.- So, I think thepictures are actually in color.You just can't tell untilthey're off the phone.- Jared, I was joking,I know it's in color.Okay, so let's take a photo.So the problem with this,do you know how manyshades of gray you have?- 50?- You sprintedhead on into that one.(laughing)- No way are you usingthis is your main device.This might be a cool,like secondary burn--I mean secondary device.But I'm gonna guess this is runningat about 10 frames per second.While it's fine for some people,would still be better ifyou bought an E Ink tablet,because then you could actually draw on itand you have a little bit more to do.And plus you want thebiggest screen possiblejust because you want to be able to see,to read and everything thing like that.Oh boy.Did I come into with-- I went too far--Hello my friends,and welcome to sponsor oftoday's episode of Mystery Tech,the NIU scooter, N, I, U.The new NIU scooter.- Oh yeah.- There you go.- Oh, it comes assembled.(bike bell ringing)- Jared, how fast can I go on the scooter?- 17 and a half miles an hour.- You think I could run 17and a half miles an hour?- No.- Probably not, no.- No, you cannot.- Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,17 miles an hour there.So if you wanna get the maximum rangeyou can put it in E-save mode,which gets you up toabout 10 miles an hour.But there's also a bunch of cool stuffthat you actually do with the app.Not only can you seeyour range and percentagebut you also can change thingslike the actual regenerative breaking,which just like an electric carmeans that you actually don't have to usethe friction brake all that often.Now the other thing that's nice about this,it has some serious range.It's about 40 kilometersin the E-saver modeat like 10 miles an hour,which I mean I could getto work with the scooter.So if you're ready to make life electric,definitely be sure to go check outthe NIU scooter at thelink in the description.You can actually getyourself $30 off right now.Of course, big shout out to NIUfor sponsoring thisepisode of Mystery Tech.(box falling)Well, okay, at least youdidn't knock over my coffee.Oh my God, that's your--(laughing)That's not what I expected.That's so creepy, whoa.The first ever mobile phoneis now a real mobile phone.- Ah, cute.- Wait the eyes-- The eyes move.Whoa.- Oh my God (indistinct).- USB-C. Yeah.We're living in the future.- We actually boughtthis pre-order at launch.But it's sold out immediately.- Wait, is it actually rotary?- It's actuallyrotary, oh my God.Oh my god, it's dialing.I dialed a number.- Hello?- Oh my God.Matt, I'm talking to you on the telephone.- It sounds like (beep).- So dial (beep).- Ken, don't touch my phone.(police sirens blaring)- Sylvania Optical Mouseand VoIP USB phone.What the actual (beep) am I looking at?So the idea is this is a mouse,but then you open it upand then you can do a VoIPcall or Voice Over IP.Wait, where did you get this?- It was a PO box.- Someone sent this from--- Someone sent this, yeah.- Oh my God.Dear Austin, Ken, Matt and everyone else.I've been watching a channelfor about a month nowand I wanted to send something for youto either have fun withor more than likelymock and make jokes at.This is the item thatI purchased at Goodwillfor 5.99 that I intendedto play around with.Thanks for all your hard workand making entertaining video.I look forward to your future content.Your fan, Eric.Eric, thank you very much.See, I have to deal withMystery Tech from these guysand they just try to makefun of me all the time.This is legitimately awesome.- My favoritepart about that letteris he says he's beenwatching us for a month.He's got us figured out to a tee--(laughing)In one month, he's got it down.- Right now, you really looklike the kid from Polar Express,like the know-it-all kid.- What?Know-it-all kid?- I think you need your ticket.(laughing off camera)(indistinct)- So we got a USB-A end onone side and then the mouse,which I will say is very heavy for a mousewhich makes sense becausesurprise, surprise, Bluetooth.I mean not Bluetooth, USB Skype phone.(cursed Windows sound blaring)- What the hell?- Well that came outta the mouse,so it's probably a good sign.Oh, also let me hang on,let me just plug in myheadset to my mouse.There we go.Oh, oh, oh, oh.Mouse is mouseing.Oh my God.It sets up as a USB audio device.So unfortunately I don'tthink the screen is gonna workwithout the Windows XP drivers.This my friends is an audiotest of the USB VoIP mouse.- This my friendsis an audio test of the USB VoIP mouse.- That speaker has to be blown.(recording playing over phone)(laughing)- The fact that this thingis probably 20 years old,I just plugged it inand immediately works.There's something behind that.Can we please have the next item?- [Recording PlayingBack] Can we please havethe next item?Oh.Jared, that was like a solid 15 feet away.We have a very small item.This is, oh, the Sony Link Buds.These are actually some headphonesI've been wanting to try for a while.So my everyday carry headphonesare the Sony 1000XM4'sfeatured on our previousepisode of Mystery Tech,and I honestly lovethese headphones a lot.While comfort is not their strong suit,the sound is great,the fact that they easilypair between lots of deviceswhether it's Android, iOS, Windows, Mac,whatever is terrific.Now the idea with the Link Budsis that these are alongthat same kind of line,except for the fact thatthey're really heavily focusingon comfort as well as giving youthat oral experience thatyou're really looking for.- Aural, aural dude.Oral.- With these headphones, youcan hear your surroundingsbecause they have a littlehole in them for your ears.- So we looked atXperia Buds or somethinglike that a couple ofyears ago on Mystery Tech.They were kind of a similar ideabut those didn't sound particularly good,but I hear that thesemight be a little better.- You hear that they sound a little better?- Oh, that's tiny.This is a good start.I always look for smaller headphone casesso they fit in my pocket.And I'm gonna tell you withresounding, absolutely.- No, uh.- It's a little strangebecause there's no real like ear tips.Oh wow, that feels like there'sliteral nothing in my ears.There is zero passive isolation,like I can hear absolutelyexactly the same.Immediately say, lack of bass, right?Which makes sense, consideringthat you don't actually havelike a sealed sort of chamber.It's kind of wild that I'mlistening to this volumeat like actually maybe a littlelouder than I normally wouldand I can have a completelynormal conversationwith everyone in the room right now.Even with transparency mode,I still feel like that'sreally difficult for me to do.Okay, so here's something elsethat's unique about these.You're not supposed toactually touch the earbuds,you're supposed to toucharound your ears or something,I'm not entirely sure how that works.Oh!- Does it work?Does it work?- Yo that's wild.So I'm actually not touching the earbuds,I'm touching like my ear.On.Off.- Austin.- Yo, it works.(laughing)(light smack)Double tap.Paused.(laughing)I like these headphones a lot.My only question here isthe long term comfortabilityafter using them for a few hours.I think these might be my headphones.- So what you're saying is,I'm buying a personal pair.- Yeah, what I'm saying isyou don't get to steal these,these are mine now.- Great.
