Oh, you know what?Anytime the item is gentlyhanded, it means it's expensive,or something that Kenand/or Matt want to steal.Is it both?- It is delicate.- Okay.The Venom Sound Ferrofluid Music Mate One.So if you're not familiar with Ferrofluid,I believe it's just like ironand sorta like floating in water,and they use magnets tobasically make it do stuff.- Oh, I thought Ithought it was "feral fluid."- Feral fluid?- It was wild fluid, like a feral animal.- Like a ferret.(descending whistle)- So the last time we tooka look at one of these,it was very cool, and wasbroken out of the box.So, here's hoping thisone actually functions."This product does not include speakersand cannot make sound."- What?- Oh wait, what?- Wait, wait a minute,wait a minute, wait a minute.- "Venom Sound!"Okay, alright, let's see-- I thought this was a speaker!- So this is the Venom Sound.So it's got this like,it looks like wood, but it'sdefinitely like plastic,or it almost feels kinda like rubbery.So on the back we've got a mic,which is closed up soI don't think it works,a USB-C in,and we've got an on-off switch,so it is battery powered.Now you can see that Ferrofluid,so they actually include a little magnet.So we can use the magnetto move that fluid around,kinda get it all sort of gathered up.It's literally stuck, do you see that?(magnet clicking)It's like I'm scrubbin' the toilet bowl.- What, what doesyour toilet bowl look like?- Like this.(toilet flushing)Oh wait, that is a mic.So, watch this.Hello, it is me.I am talking.Heyo.- It looks trippy.- Alright, so I guess the ideais that you can play music beside itand it will react to your music.So at least, it's fairly straightforward.(bright simple music)What do we think about this?'Cause like, this is cool.I agree, this is legitimately cool,but how much is it, do we have any idea?- We bought it for $130.- 130 United States freedom units?- Yikes.- That's $100 more thanI would pay for this.- I felt a lot better about thatwhen I thought it wasa speaker. (laughing)- Yeah, I thought... Same.♪ Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling ♪♪ Ring-a-ling that button ♪Heyo, these are...Oh, these are the Statuses.The Between 3's.Okay, this is a very competitivesegment between AirPods,between Samsung, andespecially between Sony,which if you've watched"Mystery Tech" before,you'll know that I've beenlargely on the Sony earbud trainfor the last several years, so.What's the price price point on these?- So right now, on the website,consistently 200 bucks.- Okay, so very much in thatsuper competitive space.That's a pretty big case,you can see, comparedto my 1000X Mark 5's,which to be fair, are more expensive.We're now successfully paired.Let's give these a try.So the buttons on each earbudare more so for your settings,so turning on and offactive noise canceling,calling your assistant or whatever.And then the actual touch surfacesare much more so for controllingplay, pause, and whatnot.Everything so far is reallykinda leaning me more towardthese are gonna need to sound really goodto be worth the 200 bucks.(upbeat rhythmic music)They sound really, really nice.That audiophile grade setup is terrific.And I like the fact thatthey've got the long battery,but I don't like the factthat they're not immensely comfortable.I personally prefer alighter weight earbud.And I also prefer theactive noise cancelingand the transparency onsome of the other devices.It's not a huge difference,but at this kinda price,you kinda need to have the whole package,and it's like 90% there.A huge thank you to the sponsorof today's video, Acronis.Acronis Cyber Protect Home Officeprovides complete protectionfor your data and digital life.It is the only personal solutionwith a unique integrationof cybersecurity and backup technologies.Safeguard your sensitive dataagainst all kinds of modern threats,like cutting edge cyberattacks, accidental deletion,disc failure, or device loss.And I've experiencedmore than my fair share(laughing) of most of those.Sure,you can get a separate servicethat backs up your data,and another service thatprotects against ransomwareand another antivirus,but Acronis does it all.It saves you time, money,and it's dead simple to manage everythingfrom a single interface.Back up your data to the cloudso you can access itfrom just about anywhere.As long as you use Acronis,you have guaranteed data recovery.A must for any student,working professional,or anyone who has preciousdata they need to protect,which should be everyone.Use the code to "austinevans2023"for a 40% discount,which can be used forall home office products.And thank you again to Acronisfor sponsoring today's video.Oh, hello there.Is that the OnePlus Open?I will saythat we're recording thisin late September of 2023.Ken, I know you justwent to a OnePlus event.- Yes.- And is this the folding phone?- Yes.- Okay, this is gonna besome real "Mystery Tech"-(duck quacking)'Cause like, I know zero,nada, zilch about this one.Is this the actual retail box?- Yup.- Oh, that's neat.Look, you see how the wholething like pulls forward?So, oh, it's a smaller phone!Wait, now hold on a second.I thought it was gonna beone of those big chunguses,the folds and whatnot.This is actually alegitimately smaller phone.Okay, initial impressions.Heavy, but I do like the width.I like how they still havethe OnePlus slider on it.And the flash is separate,which is kind of interesting.Can you see the phonebehind that camera bump?Whew!Very small like, crease.In fact, from some angles and light,that's like not even a crease.But with my finger...Like Matt, I know you hate creases.Feel that, does that bother you?'Cause that's really minimal.- Oh, okay.- That's pretty solid.- Yeah, that is way betterthan than like the folder-- Especially when you turn it on-- Yeah-- You won't see it at all.- That's impressive.- It comes pre-installed with Discord,logged into Ken's account?Ha! Interesting.Was this pre-unboxed, Ken?- Look,you spend a lotta time settingup phones on "Mystery Tech,I decided to help you-- Interesting!- Set it up.- Interesting, interesting.Oh, we're logged intoKen's Twitter account too.Let's take a little lookhere, you know, just to...Oh, ooh, ooh.Ken, we gotta talk about this.So whoop, whoo, whoop, whoo.That's cool.See, I like that kinda stuffbecause we have to considerthat while folding phones havebeen around for a little bit,they're still pretty new.And this is OnePlus' first folding phone.A lot of brands have juststarted to kinda get into it.There's a lot more optimizationand neat things you can do.Okay, so we've got ourselves...Let's pop open that camera.Essentially, I guess whatwe're looking at hereis for the 3X, this is theactual full 64-megapixel photo.I'm assuming it's being binned down,but whatever, a very,very nice looking photo.The 6X is a crop-in, digitally.But much like the waythat the newer iPhoneswill do 1X and 2X, it's just a crop,and you'll still get the 12 megapixels,it's a similar thing here.And I'll say even the crop here,I mean, look at those beautiful eyes.I mean, have you ever beenlost in a single eyeball?(clearing throat) What?Well, sorry Matt, I just-- You just fedthe internet on that one.- This is what it looks like,a little video samplestraight from the OnePlus.Uh, it looks decent.Lemme actually go aheadand zoom out to ultra wide.Now ultra wide, I think, isalways better for vlogging.Like it looks fine, it'snot particularly impressive.I'll give them points forclearly competent hardware there.It needs some work, but someof the fundamentals are decent.I think color's largelypretty good in photo mode,video mode still needs some work.- So, it is $1,699.- That's not it, that's not it.- Yeah, but here's thething, a lot of us were like,"Hey, why don't you makethis a $1,500 device?"And they have a thingon the OnePlus websitethat they promise will be in perpetuityfor as long as they're selling this thing,where they'll take anyphone in any conditionand knock off $200 off theprice in addition to trading.- So I can trade in my iPhone5C that has a busted screenand no shell anymore, andthey'll gimme 200 bucks off?- Yup.- (sighing) That's better,that's certainly better.If I'm basically spendingPixel or Samsung money,this needs to be not only as good,it almost kinda needs to be better.And I'm, at first glance,feeling this is a littlebit more equivalent.But Ken, by the time this video goes live,the Denki video will alreadyhave been live for a while,right?- Yeah.- So, let us know if it'sactually good or not.But at first glance,I'm curious but not soldwould be the way I would describe it.It's also heavy.(Austin humming echoingly)qJesus.(package tumbling)This isthe Park Sung Game CardReader Quick-Changing Switch.Wait, wait, wait, wait,wait, wait, wait, wait.Is this like a... (laughing)- Sure is, buddy!- Is this is a six-CD changer,except for Switch games?- Yes!It's like the back of a Lexus.- How much is this Quick-ChangingGame Card Switch thing?- How much do you think it is?- 20 bucks.- $32.99.- I don'tunderstand the need, so sure.- Who's got time toswitch out all your cartridges?- Wait, so I need power for this,so I assume that you're gonnahave to use this docked.Oh no, okay, I got it slightly wrong.So it doesn't go in thehole, it goes over the hole.- Yeah.- Oh yeah,I know what that's like.- They taught you that in school.- Yeah.- Are wetalkin' about the Switch?- Yeah.- Okay, cool.Alright, so I'm gonnaopen up my game card slotand pull out the copy of "Smash."Okay.So I'm going to insert this into the slotso I can put my games in the bottom slots,which these are all just storage,or I can put them in the actual slots.This is one, and thenI'll put this as two.Okay, so right now, it sees "Smash."Okay, so I'm gonna hit the button.Ooh, so it straight works.So I have two games installed,so I have the train game,and I'll just hit it againand then it switches over.- Wow.- I mean, that does just work.- Okay.- That's reallyimpressive, holy crap.- So there's a little button on top here,we'll probably have to get a B-roll,it changes color basedon which game you're in.So I assume each slot has likeorange, red, pink, whatever.The problem is like okay, so this works,but it's only for docked mode.It also is not really designedfor more than four games.The other games are just likethere for like your storage,which is fine, but like ifI care that much about it,am I not just going tobuy some digital games?Alright, so let's do this.Let's see what happenswhen I hit the button.Okay, so the Switch actuallyhandles it fairly gracefully.This is an interesting onebecause it actually doesexactly what it says on the tin.The only real complaint I have about itis the fact that the tolerancesseem less than ideal.Like when I'm puttingthese games in and out,there's like a point likehalfway through the clickwhich feels like I'm likegrinding it in a little bit.It doesn't feel smooth,nowhere near as niceas actually putting itinto the Switch itself.So that's probably the main concernis that this might do somedamage to your carts long term.But if you play yourSwitch in docked mode,own a lot of physical games,and don't wanna get up and change them,and don't wanna buy thedigital copies, great product!Queue...(package thumping)No, no, I was gonna do a ga...(package thumping)No, no, I was gonna do a gag,where I could put my hand upand it like magically appears in my hand.- You already did that.(package thumping)- Boox Note Air2 Plus.An E Ink tablet?Well that's a dumb idea, whywould you want an E Ink tablet?10.3-inch, 1872x1404 display, front lit,capacitive and stylus,with an octa-core processor in Android 11.Alright.Wow, that's a big boy.It's very thin though.Whoa, whoa, whoa.Okay, hold on.That thinness is actually legit.I will give this amoment of consideration.Oh, it's green, it's green.Do you see that green?Ooh, ooh.Okay, you know what?All the things I said thatwere dumb that were like,"I don't like this thing,"it's actually kinda nice.- It's almost likeyou don't judge a bookby its cover. (laughing)- I judged an ebook by its box. (laughing)"Dark Color Enhancement,""Light Color Filter."So clearly, there's a lotof custom stuff they've donewith this version of Androidto optimize it for E Ink.Okay, got it.This backlight's actually really cool.So in a fairly dark environment like this,it is honestly brighter thanI would actually wanna run it.Like, I actually wouldturn it down a little bit.But if you're using any kindalike normal ambient lighting,the actual screen is super readable.Now because it's E Ink,there's a lot of ghosting on the display,a lot of sort of olderimages that kinda stick in.Now I will say, it's not reallygreat for scrolling though.It's probably better forlike actual like page flipsbecause you do still have alittle bit of the smearing,which I'm sure will eventuallyclear if I keep like reading.But I will say, like thisrefresh rate and responsiveness,legitimately pretty nice.- So they're pushingthis as a premium device,so it's priced like one.- Okay, and what...Okay, uh, 300 bucks.- Nope.- 400 bucks?- Nope.- 500 bucks?- Bingo.- I'm sure there are manyfine people in the commentswho are gonna tell mewhy it's worth the moneyand all the cool features this has.And I agree, it's anice piece of hardware,it feels really cool, thisdisplay is pretty solid.But, 500 bucks is a lot of money.- Austin,you know what I haven'ttold you in a while?- That I'm handsome,and really attractive,and well worth ring-a-lingthe ding-a-ling button for.- This is gonna makewhat I say now awkward.Take it off, boy.- No, no, no!"Glow in the Dark T-shirt: drawon your T-shirt with light"?- We're goin' to EDC today.- "It's fun for festivals andparties, all the glow vibes,"yah, "and a gift for your friends."(everyone laughing)- Okay.- "The designs last up to five minutesbefore slowly fading away," same."Draw over an object or stencilto create a cool shadow effect.You can draw using a glowtorch or your phone flashlight,"and "batteries are included"for the light, I'm assuming.It's like a screen-print T-shirtthat was like a really thick design.Have you ever got onethat's usually like a little bit cheap,maybe you got it at the mall or something,and it's like a solid chunk of inkwhich almost feels likerubber on the middle?Like, that's kinda what this feels like.Whoo!Ooh, it's black light.Oh no, I can't use that in here anymore.- Why?Oh, that was weird.- Let's go bruh!I'm gonna party it up.Who needs lights whenyou got the black light?What do you... What...Don't press those big red buttons, Matt,don't press them big red buttons.(Matt cracking knuckles)Oh no, he's cookin'.(Austin beat boxing)(Austin sniffing)Whoo! (laughing)- Whoa, we don't talk about that-- Oh, censor that please.It's gonna be reallyhard to tell on camera,my shirt is slightly glowing,so I'm going to start drawing on it.- Oh, oh, oh!- Can you see that on camera?- Oh yeah.- Oh shoot.Oh, that's actually really clever.- Can I get...What's a cool look?Oh, I got it, I got it, I got it.- Okay, I think we got it.- Everybody ready?- Yeah, go for it.- Okay!- It's Roboraptor, boys!- That worked slightly betterthan I thought it would work.- Right?How much was this shirt?- $30.- Honestly, kinda fun.The problem is that itfades away really quickly.So like, for the best results,you kinda have to have thelight like directly on it.Lemme try my phone flashlightand see how that works.Oh, the problem is the phoneflashlight's too like...- Dull.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.Like here, if I put it like directly here.- Oh yeah.- Oh yeah, wait, yeah so-- Oh, that actually does kinda work.- House music right there.- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.- Okay, hold on.No, no, I got this, I got this.Can we get a little focus please?This is gonna be great,it's gonna be so hilarious.People are gonna love this.- Wait, Matt?- Yeah?- I got an idea.(Austin laughing)Okay, so.I win.- No...
