It's the best of all worlds with this in ear headset. Let's check it out
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this, this is the biodynamic bluebird in ear headset and it's kind of the best of all worlds
So you get the headband part that you put around your neck and then you have earbuds
but they're not little tiny stand alone true wireless stereo. They actually have a wire connecting them to the battery and hang on
I have some music playing. Let's pause that for a second. There we go. And so you get all the convenience of ear buds
but most of the circuitry is actually in the neck piece. It also gives you significantly better battery life
So let me tell you about these. So first off, they're super comfortable and they have really long battery life
These will run for 14 hours on a charge. How do you charge it
Well, on one of these edges here we go is a little USB C plug and it includes in the box A USB C cable
I'll show you what else is in the box in a second. And so you charge them up it takes a maximum of 100 minutes
if it's completely dead, but you can charge it for 10 minutes and get two hours of playback
So that's great. If you are finding that your headphones are desperately in need of charge because it'll tell you with a very pleasant voice
it'll tell you that running low on charge, give it 10 or 15 minutes to charge up again and you're ready to go for a
chunk of time. Really nice. Now, these are biodynamics. So you know
the sound is gonna be really good. They support a PTX adaptive and a PTX and a AC all the modern codex and
they're Bluetooth 5.2. So they're the latest generation of Bluetooth, which means that the connection between the device and the base unit is incredibly
good. I was walking 2030 ft away with walls between me and everything
Never any drop out, never any cut out at all. Really nice
This is actually biodynamic, second generation of these sort of earbuds um sorry headset
And they've really clearly figured out all the mathematics and all the circuitry
They also support multipoint, which is really great. So they can simultaneously pair with two devices
So you might be listening to music on your phone and you also have them paired to your computer and you get a call coming
in on Zoom or something, you can just switch to Zoom and they're available
And as long as you turn off one, you'll then be able to jump to the other one pretty easy to work with
Now, in terms of talking, and I'll give you a demo that in just a second, it uses the Qualcomm CBC 8.0 circuitry system
So it actually does noise cancellation on your background noise. So when you're on a call
you're gonna sound even better. And you're wondering, well, where's the microphone? And it turns out this is the right ear and there's an in
line controller and that gives you all the standard volume up, down track previous and next answer phone call
hang up, phone call, all of those features, but it also has a microphone
So when you have this in your ear, your microphone is hanging down pretty close to your mouth and the sound is actually really good
It's a really clean audio signal. And again, I'll demo that in just a second
Um They are really good at staying in sync. So if you wanna watch video and use this for the audio
the lips are in sync with them, speaking, that's really important. And if I open the box
I'll show you it's a very nice package, you open it up and normally it would be in this hard case
but I had already taken that out. So under this strip, there are five sizes of ear tips
And interestingly, I think these are the very first ones I've ever gotten where I had to put ear tips in
It didn't ship with default ear tips, but it's easy to do that
I always go for the largest ones and then work my way down, take the time and try different ones to get that base
Because if you can get it properly enclosed in your ear c
then you're gonna get a lot more base. It's gonna sound way better. Now
one other nice thing is this is IP X four. So it's sweat and water resistant
So that means if you're wearing these while you're out exercising and this sort of design is really good for exercise or for commuting because
you don't have an ear bud just vanish right where you get out of that big crowded section and suddenly you're missing one of your
ear buds. It can't happen with this. It's all wired, it's all connected
So I suppose since I showed you the box, I should show you the hard case and it's a hard case
It is relatively small considering that you do have to compensate for this whole sort of centerpiece that goes around your neck
And it also comes with that USB C charging cable. All of that's very helpful
We're just gonna put this aside and so then we get back to this and it's really easy to figure out what orientation because that
multifunctional in line control is on the right. So you just do this
you put them in and you're good to go. Now, I've given you pretty much all the data
what I want to show you is it also includes biodynamic, has something called their Miy App personalization system
So they can actually personalize what you're hearing. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna actually open up that app and then here
we are. So you can see. Let's see. So I have personalized it and basically it gives you a little instant hearing test
It takes like two minutes and you have this background noise and then there's like that
So it's trying to gauge how well you can differentiate a specific frequency for background noise
And then it gives you this customized profile and you can slide and adjust where you want that profile to be
It's pretty slick. Now, if I click on or sorry, tap on this little gear icon on the bottom
then you can see here's some of the other features. One of the ones that's worth mentioning is side tone
which I just turned on side tones. Great for if you're on phone calls
what it does is it gives some of that signal from you speaking back into your ears
So it makes it much more natural and you can be on phone calls without being really loud and annoying everyone around you
So I recommend turning that on. There's uh you can pick a default voice assistant
It is Amazon Alexa enabled um bunch of languages you can set up different eq if you want
I always tend to leave it flat so that I can sort of hear what the musicians I believe have mixed the music to be
Um, but you can change and adjust that as desired. Lots of stuff you can do here
And then if we go back then there's these statistics which are trying to figure out overall in the last 24 hours
how much have you listened to? What, what volume? Um I find this a little questionable because I found that I had the volume all
the way up and it still said, feel free to turn the volume up a bit
And this is like, I can't even put these in my ears. They're so loud. So this is really more sort of an accumulation of
how much, how loud you've listened to. Uh and then there's a reminder of the remote taps for the multi function button and there's some
information on the headphones and such. So that's actually pretty slick. Now
what I wanna do is I wanna leave that and go to voice memos and then we're gonna go ahead
I'm gonna get these in my ears and I'm gonna record some audio
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna switch audio sources from my regular studio mic which is clipped to my shirt
And instead, let's see, I don't need a new folder. I just need a new recording
So what's gonna happen is that you are now hearing me by having me record
on the biodynamic Bluebird in ear headset. So this is the audio that someone would hear if you called and
talked to them on the phone or if you use this for the audio for
for example, a Google Meet or a Skype or Zoom call. So it actually
I think does a pretty darn good job. But what do you think? What are you hearing with your ears
Ok. Let me switch back. So that's pretty much everything. Let me just turn off this recording and
I really like these. I think they've done a really good job. I'm a big fan of biodynamic
These are not flashy. They don't have a huge baseline. There's not a massive sound stage
but they're really precise and clear in their audio reproduction. I was listening to some Duran
Duran just classic stuff of theirs and it was just really clean
you know, those nice highs, it wasn't bright, it didn't hurt my ears
There was the baseline. If I closed my eyes and just listened, I could just listen to the bass player and their melody through the
songs and stuff. It's a really pleasant feedback. It really pleasant audio reproduction and what's great is they're really comfortable because
all of the weight and everything all is basically on the neck band
So the part that's in your ear is really minimal. It's a really minimal device and it's not heavy it's not intrusive
So you could easily wear these for hours on end. You could use these
for example, example, with a television and have, you know, if you have a TV
with Bluetooth, you could pair these and then you would have really nice sound for your movies or your shows and no one else would
ever hear it. So, pretty cool stuff. Now, only thing left to talk about is the price
But before we get to the price, if you don't mind, I'm gonna invite you to subscribe to my channel
just click or tap on that subscribe button and we're connected. How cool is that
Give me some feedback too. Um Let me know what you wish I would have covered more
Um What you thought of the demo, how you would have done it differently
All the usual great stuff people give on youtube feedback. Ok? Cool
Now, these are the biodynamic bluebird in ear headset and it's 100 and $49 at amazon.com
and they are pretty darn new. So you might have a little challenge finding them
but they will definitely be in stock and they are definitely worth checking out
And if you're looking for ear buds, but you don't like having all of the circuitry and everything jammed in your ear
then these are definitely something to look at and they're easy and absolutely
when you take them out, they don't get lost and that's a big win. So that's all I got
I think I'm not gonna head back to Duran. Duran. So I'll look at you in my next video
