How To Waste $60 on
Amazon... #Helpful Post
hey
guys this is Austin and today I'm
back
with another tech under video this
time
taking a look at tech under $60
over
the catches as always I have no
idea
what I'm looking at thanks to good
old
savage Kenny the clips k6i reference
headphones
oh wait what is this a
lightning
audio amp a $60 amp coach
typically
makes pretty good any air
monitors
that shouldn't be a huge
surprise
you're paying $60 for a
headphone
amp for such as like the
iPhone
7 so give these a try first I'm
going
to use the standard lightning
adapter
that comes with the iPhone 7 and
see
how these headphones sounds usually
I'm
actually not a big fan of these any
air
style of headphones typically it's
actually
kind of hard to get a
comfortable
fit for me but let's give
these
guys a try
they're
good they sound really good for
the
most part the only thing is they're
just
a little bit of a lack of bass and
of
course that's a subjective thing I
think
some people prefer something
that's
a little bit more of a clearer
sound
with less bass but for me I like
if
there's just a little bit more punch
to
the sounds but of course the
headphones
are not alone in a vacuum now
I
get to try this $60 lightning adapter
so
it looks pretty much similar to the
one
that comes with the iPhone although
you
can see there's definitely a lot
more
going on here with having not only
an
amp but also dedicate DAC this this
might
be interesting I don't know I'm
not
so sold that's going to be that
great
that's not cool so you can
actually
use this little keychain thing
there
might be a little bit of a
difference
I feel it might be just a bit
more
separation but I don't know about
this
one
I
don't know so essentially the app will
actually
allow you to get a little more
amplification
and it does sound better
it's
mostly just a little bit louder but
with
that extra volume I can hear a
little
more clarity so listen to the
same
headphones hooked up to the LGV 30
which
has an amazing quad DAC inside
it's
actually a fairly similar sound
I
feel like this adapter will kind of
punch
up the music just a little bit
which
personally I actually kind of like
what
is it worth 60 bucks
ah
I'm not so sure pebble time wait this
is
$60 so if you guys are not familiar
pebble
actually went out of business
which
makes it a little weird that
they're
still selling them so for me I
actually
really do enjoy using a
SmartWatch
mostly for things like
notifications
which keeps me from
keeping
my phone out of my pocket all
the
time but let's see how this pebble
time
stack so I will say even though yes
this
is like $50 the hardware still
feels
kind of cheap like I would not
want
to rock this rubber band every day
once
you sit up the pebble time you'll
see
it's actually a pretty much
functioning
SmartWatch so not only can
we
go and control our music here so we
can
start playing it from the phone in
my
pocket but you can also go through
get
your notifications alarms one of the
main
reasons to use a pebble though is
the
battery life so while most
smartwatches
measure it in hours this
guy
can last days on a single charge and
oh
yes it's not going to be the most
functional
thing and going forward who
knows
how well this is actually going to
be
supported but for 50 bucks not bad
alright
what is our fourth products a
mysterious
cardboard box oh okay a USB
pet
rock important open box carefully do
not
remove rock before reading
instructions
literally
a rock with a hole cut into it
and
a USB cable Ken how much did this
cost
you're laughing too much how much
does
this cost $40 the hole in it
there's
a USB cable you know just when
you
think that Ken's doing a great job
he's
busting out these cool tech items
left
and right and then you get a USB
pet
rock all right let's just plug this
thing
in get it over with I'm like half
expecting
this to be full of malware or
something
will happen when we plug our
pit
rock in absolutely nothing
absolutely
nothing happens at least we
can
make sure that our USB pet rock
feels
like he's part of the 21st century
and
connected to all the other devices
in
our lives uh yeah
what
is this a fifty millimeter 1.8 lens
Oh
Oh actually something that's not
terrible
after the rock I was expecting
garbage
town $50 all right Wow this is
uh
this is identical looking to the
canon
fifty one point eight so if you
guys
have ever really gotten into dslr's
you'll
know that usually the first lens
you
get is a 50ml lens now that does it
give
you a kind of interesting look but
it's
also really cheap
however
50 bucks is uh that's pretty
cheap
this is like laughably lightweight
but
if we pop it on our camera here see
what
we've got that noise
okay
okay let's let's do this let's do
this
it's actually not that bad looking
see
here's take a picture of our super
cool
pet rock dude this is actually
pretty
decent so now they can version
the
one that they're knocking off here
is
usually around a hundred dollars or
so
so to get what looks to be pretty
similar
for fifty bucks is not bad at
all
what you're looking at right now is
actually
a camera using a much more
expensive
50 millimeter lens so if we
put
the $50 option on
this
is what things look like now I
can't
really tell from all the way over
here
but it probably isn't that far off
Ken
what do you think pretty good all
right
so that mean we get to save you a
bunch
of money on lenses now we've
officially
got a pet rock in this video
and
now we've downgrade our camera
equipment
what
else could you ask for before we
get
to the final product of the video
you
guys may remember that a few weeks
ago
we did a video on the lg ultra white
festival
who are awesome enough to
sponsor
this video after going through
all
the applicants the top three
finalists
are Zachary from hammers and
circuits
Taylor Reed and last but not
least
physics Phil the finalists are
going
to join Linus and I at his studio
in
Vancouver where they're going to get
to
build their ultimate dream setup stay
tuned
because Linus and I are going to
be
doing videos from the event but you
guys
actually still have a chance to win
a
monitor the first Quest is to fill in
the
blanks guessing the LG ultra wide
key
features and the second one is
simply
to guess who is the final winner
so
be sure to check out those links in
the
description and now let us see what
is
the final item of the video the
smartphone
control paper airplane
conversion
kits convert your paper
airplane
into a smartphone controlled
flying
machine I think this would be
pretty
cool I actually used to really
enjoy
building paper airplanes when I
was
a kid although I haven't done it in
like
a while this is a good idea this is
pretty
legit how how much was this 35
look
at this Ken coming in with the
budget
options so once you download the
app
I can immediately see that this was
designed
by nerds now that do we have
these
signal strengths but we have fuel
we
have the actual control which I'm
actually
not going to do because we need
to
build our paper airplane I know my
paper
airplanes I can make my own I said
there
with way more confidence than I
really
should oh this is really bad this
is
actually not a great paper airplane
this
is like not even close to being
even
okay
the apps a little bit aggressive
let's
try to go up all right full power
oh
alright okay okay so what did we
learn
today we learned that when the
paper
airplane comes with specific
instructions
on how to build the plane
you
should probably listen to these so
what
do you guys think about Kent's
picks
for this video let us know in the
comments
below and as always the links
to
all the stuff will be in the
description
of the video anyway guys
thank
you so much for watching and I
will
catch you in the next one
