Poundland Airpods: Technology Special Time Again | Ashens

Ғылым және технология

ashensmovie.com
Now we've worked out the excess stock, please buy it so we don't have to store it! x
Poundland are back! Back! BACK! With more items in their rather nifty Viido range. We've got not-actually Airpods, some much better bluetooth earbuds, weird looking speakers, old school computer speakers, lights, camera and no action!

    Got a bit of a story about the wireless "apple" earphones you showed at the start. I used to work for Kmart NZ as a storefront clerk, meaning I had to deal with all of the customers who wanted to return things. When I saw you pull out those earphones, I got a physical reaction in my chest. We sold them under a different brand, most likely a lot of cheapo electronics companies buy them wholesale from a Chinese manufacturer so they can slap their own logos on them. While the sound quality for the price was indeed not at all terrible (we'd sell them for about 15 NZD which is a little less than 10 pounds), there were so many people who bought them and returned them about a month later with a dangerous, inflated battery within the charging case. By all means, they may have improved the lithium batteries since then, but I really wouldn't take the risk.

    7:55 fun fact, the headphone jack has nothing to do with phones being waterproof. It's probably the easiest port to waterproof. Hell, the iPhone 7 was IP67 rated. Edit- for some reason I was thinking the ip7 had a headphone jack. Regardless- lots of Android phones did. My Xperia Z3 I had in ~2014 was IP rated, had a flap for the charging port but the headphone jack was just normal.

But your comment is wrong too, idk what’s going on, splash proof is like ip 64 or 65. Ip 67 is what can withstand 30 minute immersion and ip 68 is supposed to be truly waterproof and extended immersion. I’m sure the headphone Jack is easier to waterproof but it’s always a factor, the sealant could fail and allow water in while with no Jack gets rid of that point of failure

    With cheap headphones where one doesn't always connect it's usually the second device because it connects to the first, and your phone connects to the first. The order you pull them out can be important. Used to have a pair that'd only work if I removed the left first because that was the primary and the right would connect to the left, but if the left was off it'd fail and turn itself off.

    7 hour battery is pretty great. I bought some headphones that allow me to "hear" music through some magical deaf person wizardry and they advertise 8 hour battery life but realistically have more like 4 granted they have some sort of motor in each headphone and do some sort of tympanic pulsing but still it would be nice to have access to longer lifespan.

    Having worked in electronics manufacturing for a little while, I can say this: The difference in price isn't the parts because they all use the same suppliers, and if they're all made in China it sure as hell isn't the labor. Nah, it's mostly marketing and executive/shareholder profits, with a slight bit for upscale rents for their fancy HQs in the ritzier parts of town. I'm not expecting Poundland's owners to be living out of a van, but they damn well aren't wasting their cash on a fancy glass tower in central London when a perfectly good industrial park on the outskirts of Birmingham or Liverpool will do.

Two pairs of Raycons (that I lost so shortly after each time due to falling asleep with them in my ears), to all the Chinese knock-off things. The ones I have now were, like, $25 and they are as good as the $85 Raycons, if not better. Happy to hear Ashens be so giddy when describing the black earbuds. That's basically me when I find a good deal on a cheap thing.

    Saw the black earbuds in Poundland today and couldn't resist. Can confirm that they are excellent. Best price to performance ratio for any earbuds. If you spent 10 times the money you'd probably get earbuds that sound 10% better. I never use the mic on earbuds so am very happy with my purchase.

    My local poundland finally has those earbuds in stock. I picked up a pair today so I'll give them a whirl once they're charged up...... Edit. Yeah pretty good. Compared to the previous jvc earbuds I was using for twice the price they've a hell of a lot more bass to them. Admittedly the jvcs had next to none but the poundland ones are respectable to my non audiophile ears. They're a pain in the arse to adjust though as you will accidentally disconnect them each time you even so much as scratch your ears. But they go louder than my previous and sound better. Although according to the missus the Mike on the jvcs were very good so time will tell on these ones... Edit again. After performing a stereo test from youtube I either appear to be slightly deaf in my left ear or the right channel comes in louder lol. I'm going to assume it's the latter

    I bought some cheap earbuds from wish and they look exactly like the second ones. The ones I got also have amazing sound quality for the price and the panel with how much battery is left in the case. Ive tried to use the case as an external battery as it claims it can do, but it does not do that well since it barely got a couple minutes before I ran out but it was on a long day when both my phone and the case were likely low on battery. Ive had them for a few months now and occasionally the right one makes this weird staticky sound but it’s liveable. I haven’t gotten any complaints mic wise when I answer calls, but I also haven’t confirmed for myself how it sounds. I also saw some at big lots for like twice what I paid from wish but it had a polaroid logo on it instead of my unbranded ones.
