The Three Tricks: Exploring AirPods and Galaxy Buds

As I sit down to talk about AirPods, I have to admit that I'm not exactly an expert on them. In fact, I was pretty clueless until recently. But that's okay, because now I get to share my newfound knowledge with you. So, let's dive in and explore one of the cool things about AirPods: ambient sounds.

So, you know how sometimes when you're listening to music or watching a video, there are ambient sounds all around you? Like, outside noises that aren't really part of the main audio? Well, AirPods have this feature called "ambient sound" that lets you hear those outside noises more clearly. It's like having your own personal soundtrack playing in the background. And it's actually pretty cool. But I'm not the only one who's excited about this feature - my friend Philip is also stoked to try out AirPods.

But before we get started, I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant to plug them in and try them out. I mean, how hard could it be to use AirPods, right? Wrong! It turns out that there are all sorts of nuances to using these things, from pairing them with an iPhone to navigating the sound settings. So, let's take a closer look at some of the cool features that make AirPods so special.

One of the things I was excited to try out was the ambient sounds feature on my Galaxy Buds. It seems like this is just one of the nice things about having these earbuds - you can just hear the outside if you want to. And I have to say, it's pretty convenient. But what really caught my attention was when Philip showed me how to connect his AirPods to an iPhone using a feature called "voice focus". It turns out that this feature makes voices stand out more clearly from ambient sound - which is perfect for when you want to focus on what someone is saying.

But enough about the technical stuff - let's talk about the music. Philip and I decided to jump into Spotify and check out PBJams' playlist, which is updated every single Friday. We're both big fans of new music, and it's always exciting to discover something new. And if you're interested in checking out some tunes yourself, be sure to hit up the link below - there are links for Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music.

After we got our music fix, Philip and I decided to head up to Portland to check out EverythingApplePro for a big week of Samsung stuff. This video is going to be the first one out, and what we're going to find out is how good the Galaxy Buds are - which I have to admit was pretty curious to me.

As we arrived at Philip's house, we were greeted with some excitement - it turned out that he had a pair of Galaxy Buds that he wanted to test out. And let me tell you, they're pretty cool - but not necessarily the most comfortable thing in the world. Despite that, I have to say that they feel really nice in the ear.

So, we decided to play some music and see how they sound on Philip's iPhone. We chose Benly's "Temporary" for our test song, and let me tell you - it was a great choice. But what really surprised me was when Philip mentioned that he had tried connecting his Galaxy Buds to an iPhone before - which I hadn't even realized was possible. It turns out that the AirPods feature is called "TechSmartt", and all we have to do is close the case on our earbuds and hold down the left one.

Philip also showed me how easy it was to connect his Galaxy Buds to an iPhone, which really made him a believer in these things. And I have to admit - now that I know the tech behind AirPods, I'm definitely interested in trying them out for myself.

So, would you buy the Galaxy Buds over AirPods? Well, it's definitely worth considering - especially if you're an iPhone user. The price difference isn't huge, and the feature of being able to connect your earbuds to an iPhone is a major plus. Plus, if you pre-order a Samsung phone (like the S10 or S10+), they come with Galaxy Buds included - which is basically like getting the best deal ever.

And that's it for this video - thanks for watching, and be sure to subscribe to both our channels for more content like this. We've got a pretty interesting week ahead of us, so stay tuned!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey, what's good you guys?Welcome back to TechSmarttfor a really interesting video.I'm sure a lot of you have seen theseon YouTube or in the news.I mean, YouTube, right?These are the brandnew Samsung Galaxy Budsthat kinda come with the s10,if you pre-order it,but I've just been lookingat the TechSmartt channel,I'm sure you guys arecommenting it right now,Keaton, you've been checking outway too many AirPods,now the Galaxy AirPods,fake AirPods, earphones, earbuds.Think it's pretty safe to say,you're a budtender now.(techno theme music)- In front of me, though,are the new Samsung Galaxy Buds,and you've probably seenthese all over YouTube.Tons of people have been getting them,but Samsung only handed these outat the s10 event,which I was at in San Francisco,last week.So if you guys missed that,it's on the insta story.I met up with EverythingApplePro,Phillip and I had a great time,but we didn't get Galaxy s10,so that's all gonna change this week.Tons of videos coming up,so make sure you're subscribed,with notifications on.You're gonna see him in a few.But right in front ofme are the Galaxy Buds.So they gave these out to everyonethat attended the event.And why these are special,is the Galaxy Buds go for 129 dollars,compared to Apple's AirPods,I'm sure you've seena few videos on these,which go for 159 dollars.So, basically figuring out how goodis thirty dollars worth.Of course, we gottabring the tried and true,the trusty magusties,never dusty,the i10 TWS.So, you guyshave beencommenting like crazy.If you've missed a video from Wish,it's right there in the I-Card.If you wanna check out a cheaper pair,there's a four dollar pair,I'll leave all those links down belowto everything in this video,if you wanna pick them up.You guys know Samsung'smade these Iconx before.Those go for a 179 dollars.These are a 129.So, they come in three colors,unlike the airpods,unless you get them customized,or you put a skin on there.So, digging into the box.What else we get?Ooh, some ear tips.So, you get some interesting ear hooks.It's like they includeall the tips for ya.Is that even for an ear.What?what I think is really coolabout the Galaxy Buds,and I haven't even tried 'em out yet,is the USB-C charging at the back,and all Galaxy buds have wireless chargingin the case.So what's cool with theGalaxy s10 this year,is there's wireless chargingbuilt into the back,and actually can charge other devices.So just by setting your Galaxy buds down,this is the Galaxy s9,remember I didn't get a Galaxy s10.It would charge just like that.So, kind of interesting concept,the AirPods don't do that.Alright, enough jibber jabber.What's really cool about these,so the Galaxy Buds have a different shapecompared to the AirPods.So putting them into my ears,they have a nice tight seal.I actually feel like they are in my ears,and wow, Sherlock there.Pump the breaks!Yeah, I know they are in my ears,and they're not just hangingout like a toothbrush,but what I do like about these,is they just feel a littlebit more comfortable.And they were talking about this on stage,and Samsung said the buds just havea tighter seal in the ear,I can definitely feel that,and I haven't even switchedout these ear tips.What I think is kinda cool,and this is something I'llhave to test with the s10,is if the double microphones on the buds,do anything?If they help call quality,if they really help accuracy,say I wanna use Bixby.And just looking at the shapebetween the Galaxy bud and the AirPod,you can tell there'ssomething different going on.This actually goes in your ear,like traditional earphones or earbuds.They're Bluetooth.They feel pretty good.I mean, AirPods just felt standardfor so long.That just fits in,I don't have to worry about it.Whoa, that is kinda interesting.I can just drop them inand not have to worry about it.I know where the hole in my ear is.But with the Buds,you almost have to justmake sure it makes it in.And that's interesting.That's definitely something you haveto remember to do.And now that I have both in ear,I feel like the AirPod willbe the first one to fall out.And I got one of the three AirPod tricks.I made a video,it's up there in the I-Card.It's got this little rubber thing,so it should stay inyour ear a little better.But it was only two dollars,so,interesting.I am liking these buds!Interesting.So battery life on these guysis estimated around six hours,whereas the AirPods get around five hours.Drop a comment down belowif you've ever got five hoursof usage on your AirPods.That's just not real.I don't believe that.It's two years later,they're not lasting that long.Even if you're buying them new.So, I don't believe that,but with the Galaxy Buds,I'm interested to see the battery life.Just because these have a larger case,that I don't think I'll lose as easilyas the thin AirPods.I know, I'm on pair 37 right now.But with the Galaxy Buds,it's just really all about the touch pad.With the AirPods youcan actually customizethe controls on the sides.With the Galaxy Budsyou have this touch padright here.Use touch pad.Double tap to play next.Triple tap to play previous.Touch and hold - decline call.Okay, so pretty basic stuff.So you got your equalizer.You can customize notifications.So which come through the budsand which don't.But one thing that I do really appreciate,is find my earbuds.I'm gonna take these outand see how loud they get.(chirp sounds)Makes like a little bird chirping noise.Okay, so you'll probablyfind your Galaxy Budsif you ever lose them.Another cool thing about the appthat I actually showed you guyson the Three Tricks,you probably didn't know about AirPods,I'm dumb plugging, I promise,is the ambient sounds.This is just one of the nice thingson the Galaxy Buds,is you can just hear theoutside if you want to.Live Hearing is exactly the same thing.If you see the ear right there,same thing on the iPhone,but voice focus makesvoices stand out moreclearly from abient sound.How you doing, Hef?- I'm doing good.- I can hear you.It works.So kind of a cool feature,but really I think theonly thing left to do,is play some music.So, we're gonna jump into Spotifyto PBJams' playlist.I'll leave a link down below.It's updated every single Friday,so when you wake up, you got new musicdelivered right to your Spotify.Or YouTube music.Or Apple music.All links are down belowto whatever platform you have.For some reason my Galaxy Budsare not playing any audioand they're pretty cool,I'm not gonna lie.Kinda like how they feel in the ear,but if they can't play musicthat's a problem.Basically we're gonna head up to Portland.The Pacific North West.We're gonna go see EverythingAppleProfor a big week of Samsung stuff.This video is gonna be the first one out.And what we're gonna find out ishow good are the Galaxy Buds.- We've finally made it to Philip's house.It took a little bit.Missed three flights,but on the fourth attempt we got there.- Three flights?No way.- We had some plans in for the week,so you guys definitelygotta get subscribedto both channels.I'll leave his link down belowand make sure you
