That's T-R-I-P-A-P 200.

6
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:10,930
I'm still trying to work out what the

7
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:11,870
PAP stands for.

8
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:15,870

Audio.

16
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:31,990
Now, I've already given this away, but we're

17
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:33,350
going to look at these today, because these

18
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:36,230
are the brand new headphones from Austrian Audio.

19
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:38,110
They're the Hi-X 20s.

20
00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:44,810
Welcome.

21
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:45,310
Hi.

22
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:45,630
Hi.

23
00:00:45,850 --> 00:00:46,150
Hi.

24
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:47,390

39
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:16,470
Yeah, it's the show and tell day.

40
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:17,450
We're doing a video show.

41
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:18,830
We haven't done one in a while, and

42
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:20,670
this was a perfect opportunity to show off

43
00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:21,230
some goodies.

44
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:22,490
And boy, do we have goodies.

45
00:01:22,610 --> 00:01:23,250
I put on my best beard just for

46
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:23,650
today, too.

47
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:24,710
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

48
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,730
Yeah, we've got goodies galore.

49
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:27,930
So, goodies galore.

50
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:29,890
Tell us about the new Aussie headphone.

51
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:31,170
Austrian, I should say.

52
00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:32,390
Not Aussie, but Austrian.

53
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:33,870
Yeah, it'd be good, wouldn't it?

54
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:34,970
Australian Audio.

55
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:37,150
But Austrian Audio have come up with the

56
00:01:37,150 --> 00:01:38,450
Hi-X 20s.

57
00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:39,810
And what they've done is like the ones

58
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:41,190
that George and I are wearing at the

59
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:43,710
moment, which are the Hi-X 15s.

60
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:46,830
They got feedback from people who bought the

61
00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:47,510
15s.

62
00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:50,450
And they decided that they'd take that feedback

63
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:53,670
on board and tweak the 15s and then

64
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:56,650
relaunch them or launch the Hi-X 20s

65
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:58,010
with those tweaks.

66
00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:01,310
And it's interesting, actually, because I've sort of

67
00:02:01,310 --> 00:02:04,710
been flicking stuff backwards and forwards to George.

68
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:06,690
And I know Robbo's got his views on

69
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:07,210
these as well.

70
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:10,250
I find them more detailed than the 15s.

71
00:02:10,290 --> 00:02:12,530
They're not as top heavy.

72
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,730
When you say detailed, is that more of

73
00:02:15,730 --> 00:02:17,210
a mid-range note?

74
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:18,890
Are we talking about mids?

75
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:20,670
It's really hard to...

76
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:21,910
I keep changing headphones.

77
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:22,750
You're going, what am I hearing?

78
00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:23,270
What am I hearing?

79
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:24,010
It's so hard, yeah.

80
00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:24,590
Yeah.

81
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:26,570
I find them...

82
00:02:26,570 --> 00:02:29,610
they're actually similar to the 55s.

83
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:29,910
Okay.

84
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:33,690
But they're obviously not as detailed as the

85
00:02:33,690 --> 00:02:34,310
55s.

86
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:35,410
I mean, they're very forensic.

87
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:39,110
These are just a subtle version of the

88
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:40,490
55, if that makes any sense.

89
00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:41,050
Does that make sense?

90
00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:43,490
Is that like a Goldilocks between the 15s

91
00:02:43,490 --> 00:02:45,230
and the 55s?

92
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:46,170
I think, yeah.

93
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:48,950
That's what I'm hearing.

94
00:02:49,050 --> 00:02:50,330
What are you hearing with yours, Robbo?

95
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,550
Well, I haven't heard the 15s, so I

96
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:53,690
don't have a pair of those, so I

97
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:54,070
don't know.

98
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:59,030
But look, I live in the 65s, which

99
00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:01,290
are the open-back version of the 55s,

100
00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:02,410
and I love them.

101
00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:05,650
So I'm hearing less top end in these,

102
00:03:05,890 --> 00:03:07,910
and I kind of feel like there's a

103
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:09,070
bit of hype in the bottom end.

104
00:03:09,250 --> 00:03:11,810
Maybe that's just because I'm not hearing as

105
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:12,370
much top end.

106
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:13,870
I haven't worn them enough to kind of

107
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:15,490
figure out what's going on there.

108
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:17,650
But I mean, for me, absolutely.

109
00:03:18,050 --> 00:03:19,930
If I was a voiceover artist, I'd be

110
00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:21,450
more than happy to wear these, and I'm

111
00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:22,730
more than happy to wear them now on

112
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:23,130
the podcast.

113
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:24,110
They're really comfortable.

114
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:27,690
Interestingly, I gave them to Tanay, who's my

115
00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:30,250
wife, who's a voiceover artist, and she's been

116
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,770
wearing a crappy old pair of Sennheisers that

117
00:03:32,770 --> 00:03:35,130
I bought specifically to take to Fiji on

118
00:03:35,130 --> 00:03:37,170
a flight because I didn't have a pair

119
00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:39,110
of headphones, and I just went to JB

120
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:41,790
Hi-Fi and grabbed the sort of cheapest

121
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:44,390
sort of headphones with a reasonable sort of

122
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:45,830
name that I could find that I thought,

123
00:03:45,950 --> 00:03:46,730
okay, well, they'll do.

124
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,650
So she's been wearing those, and she put

125
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:49,970
them on, and she did one session, and

126
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:51,130
she brought them back down and put them

127
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:52,850
on my desk, and she said, look, I

128
00:03:52,850 --> 00:03:53,330
love them.

129
00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:54,770
I really like the sound of them, but

130
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:56,110
I can't wear them for now because I'm

131
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,290
hearing things that I haven't heard before, and

132
00:03:58,290 --> 00:03:59,690
it's putting me off.

133
00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:02,270
So she wants them once I'm sort of

134
00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:05,090
done with the whole pro audio suite side

135
00:04:05,090 --> 00:04:05,350
of things.

136
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:06,830
She wants to wear them, but it sounds

137
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:08,230
like she's going to have to wean herself

138
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:09,790
onto them to get it going.

139
00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:12,290
So yeah, so that was some good feedback.

140
00:04:12,850 --> 00:04:14,650
Well, that was the same as when I

141
00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:17,390
got the 55s initially.

142
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:19,709
I was like, oh my god, these things

143
00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:22,750
are brutal, like really, really hard, and I

144
00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:25,250
remember we had pulled Strickfurter and George.

145
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:27,230
We did a video together, the three of

146
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:29,210
us, and he said the same thing.

147
00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:30,430
It was like initially, it was like, oh

148
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:32,230
my god, these things are terrible.

149
00:04:32,470 --> 00:04:35,030
They sound awful, but they don't sound awful.

150
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:38,290
They actually sound accurate, and no one likes

151
00:04:38,290 --> 00:04:40,670
to hear things that are too accurate, I

152
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:40,890
think.

153
00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:42,430
You have to get used to it because

154
00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:43,870
you're hearing stuff you've never heard before.

155
00:04:44,010 --> 00:04:47,730
Headphones for pros and engineering and analytic audio

156
00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:51,190
are a different animal than headphones for, let's

157
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:52,590
say, pleasure listening, you know?

158
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:54,590
Yeah, yeah, that's the whole idea.

159
00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:55,350
It's not about pleasure.

160
00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:55,870
It's about accuracy.

161
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:57,750
I kind of feel like maybe that's a

162
00:04:57,750 --> 00:04:59,410
bit of what they're aiming for here, maybe

163
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:01,370
a bit of the consumer market as well.

164
00:05:01,690 --> 00:05:02,090
I don't know.

165
00:05:02,290 --> 00:05:02,870
I mean, the thing...

166
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:03,370
Well, price point.

167
00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:05,590
Are these supposed to be closer to the

168
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:06,990
15s in price point?

169
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:08,550
I think they're 150 US.

170
00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:11,270
Yeah, they're just a little bit more than

171
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:16,330
these, so they wanted to differentiate them from

172
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:16,830
these.

173
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:20,050
They didn't go flashy with red color, so

174
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:22,850
they wanted them to look more subdued, so

175
00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:24,470
maybe more of a studio can.

176
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:26,390
I think that's the whole thing about these.

177
00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:28,210
I mean, if you look at the 15s,

178
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:32,530
they look more pro-seamer, where these look

179
00:05:32,530 --> 00:05:33,830
more pro.

180
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:36,990
I mean, it's not like a fashion item.

181
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:39,910
You're not going to sort of walk down

182
00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:40,850
the street with these things on.

183
00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:43,590
They look much more studio, much more professional.

184
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:46,290
And to me, they'd sound that way as

185
00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:46,470
well.

186
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:48,250
There's a three meter cable on them, so

187
00:05:48,250 --> 00:05:49,390
if you're walking down the road, you could

188
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,870
be using it as a skipping rope as

189
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:51,770
well, so that would be interesting.

190
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:52,690
You can get fit while you're listening to

191
00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:52,890
stuff.

192
00:05:52,910 --> 00:05:53,650
That's right, exactly.

193
00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:55,190
But I mean, the things I've noticed is

194
00:05:55,190 --> 00:05:56,730
like, these are my 65s, right?

195
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:59,130
So the nice thing, you've got your nice

196
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:02,790
gold plugs, you've got the nice big chunky

197
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:05,130
sort of connector and all that sort of

198
00:06:05,130 --> 00:06:08,470
stuff, and you've got the, if your lead

199
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:12,290
stops working, you can undo it, change your

200
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:12,870
cable over.

201
00:06:13,690 --> 00:06:15,610
But given the price point, I mean, that

202
00:06:15,610 --> 00:06:16,670
only stands to reason.

203
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,190
I mean, it's like the OC-16, same

204
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:19,430
thing.

205
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:21,130
It's like the entry level microphone.

206
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:23,330
Yeah, you got to have price points that

207
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:24,230
meet different markets.

208
00:06:24,610 --> 00:06:27,010
So what I'm wearing is the prosumer headphone

209
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:28,090
or the consumer headphone.

210
00:06:28,450 --> 00:06:30,590
I'll be honest, I think my ears are

211
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:35,570
just more tuned to consumer or prosumer headphone

212
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:36,050
EQ.

213
00:06:36,410 --> 00:06:38,450
So when I wore the 55s, when they

214
00:06:38,450 --> 00:06:40,530
came out, they were, to me, were just

215
00:06:40,530 --> 00:06:41,730
too forward.

216
00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:43,970
They were just too much mid, too far

217
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:44,190
out.

218
00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:46,890
It just was so different from anything I'd

219
00:06:46,890 --> 00:06:49,370
had, and I just wasn't ready to invest

220
00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:52,590
the, should I just say the ear time,

221
00:06:52,590 --> 00:06:54,610
you know, to learn them and get used

222
00:06:54,610 --> 00:06:54,970
to them.

223
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:58,050
And the 15s were more familiar to me.

224
00:06:58,170 --> 00:07:00,330
They were more like maybe my Audio-Technica

225
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:03,110
ATH-M40s that I've been wearing for a

226
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:03,550
long time.

227
00:07:03,710 --> 00:07:06,530
So these were easy to adapt to quickly.

228
00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:09,130
So the 20s would be an interesting thing

229
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:11,630
to compare because there'll be, you know, just

230
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:15,150
a little bit more leaning toward, I don't

231
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:18,790
know, accurate or revealing or transparent or whatever

232
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:19,590
you want to call it.

233
00:07:19,590 --> 00:07:22,250
I think for you, George, I remember sending

234
00:07:22,250 --> 00:07:24,090
you a message when I got these and

235
00:07:24,090 --> 00:07:25,650
said, I think you really like these because

236
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:28,490
they just, they just take the 15s to

237
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,050
just another level.

238
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:32,930
I mean, the comfort of these, I mean,

239
00:07:33,030 --> 00:07:35,070
guys, we're talking about things that we're receiving

240
00:07:35,070 --> 00:07:36,030
free copies of.

241
00:07:36,130 --> 00:07:38,290
So, you know, take that with a grain

242
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:39,450
of salt if you need to.

243
00:07:40,190 --> 00:07:43,450
These were my absolute daily drivers through and

244
00:07:43,450 --> 00:07:45,330
through these 770s, right?

245
00:07:46,130 --> 00:07:48,350
And I have just found myself wearing these

246
00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:50,030
more and more and more.

247
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:53,830
They're just so light and so comfortable and

248
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:55,130
they're, they sound good.

249
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:57,390
And, and what I've been doing a lot

250
00:07:57,390 --> 00:07:59,110
more at this desk is talking into the

251
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:59,330
mic.

252
00:07:59,450 --> 00:08:00,450
You know, I've been doing a lot more

253
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:03,090
content and I much prefer wearing these when

254
00:08:03,090 --> 00:08:07,750
I'm doing tapes, doing videos, doing how-tos

255
00:08:07,750 --> 00:08:08,730
and webinars, everything.

256
00:08:08,810 --> 00:08:11,150
I much prefer to wear these because I

257
00:08:11,150 --> 00:08:15,870
like the sound to myself through these more

258
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:16,690
than these.

259
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:19,730
These might be more flat or more accurate,

260
00:08:19,910 --> 00:08:20,870
maybe, I don't know.

261
00:08:21,630 --> 00:08:23,750
But these are just harder to monitor myself

262
00:08:23,750 --> 00:08:24,510
on as well.

263
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:26,690
Like these, I can, it just works better

264
00:08:26,690 --> 00:08:28,890
as a monitor when I'm recording.

265
00:08:29,330 --> 00:08:31,750
So, you know, the only, the only criticism

266
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:33,309
I have, and it's not to do with

267
00:08:33,309 --> 00:08:36,770
the headphones particularly, but I mean, I really

268
00:08:36,770 --> 00:08:38,789
like these, but if you listen to, if

269
00:08:38,789 --> 00:08:43,330
you were using a 41.6 and with

270
00:08:43,330 --> 00:08:45,930
these on, you really hear the 41.6.

271
00:08:46,570 --> 00:08:49,090
So these kind of push that upper mid,

272
00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:52,730
that the 416 is already kind of pushing.

273
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:54,650
So yeah, it's almost too much of that

274
00:08:54,650 --> 00:08:55,190
frequency band.

275
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:56,530
Because when I first put them on, I

276
00:08:56,530 --> 00:08:58,430
was, I had the 41.6 open, I

277
00:08:58,430 --> 00:08:59,010
was using that.

278
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:59,870
And then I thought, hang on a minute,

279
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:01,330
that's probably a bit silly.

280
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:03,370
So the mic's hyped.

281
00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:05,150
So I went to the 818 and then

282
00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:07,510
listened to them and compared the 55s and

283
00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:09,450
the 20s.

284
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,550
And yeah, beautiful.

285
00:09:11,890 --> 00:09:14,430
Then you put up the 416s through these

286
00:09:14,430 --> 00:09:15,930
with the 4k button on.

287
00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:19,390
And you were like, okay, man, that's enough.

288
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:21,490
Yes, that's right.

289
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:22,250
Yeah.

290
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:23,290
Yikes.

291
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:26,550
But yeah, so in conclusion, my conclusion is

292
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:28,790
I reckon these are actually fabulous.

293
00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:33,550
I think for voiceover artists, for podcasters, you

294
00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:36,130
know, anybody who wants a good pair of

295
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:38,930
headphones that are at a reasonable price, I

296
00:09:38,930 --> 00:09:40,170
reckon they're on a winner with these.

297
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:40,730
I really like.

298
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:41,410
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

299
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:43,030
There was a three metre cable.

300
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,390
So if you're a muso and you're sharing

301
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:47,050
a headphone amp in a studio, that's perfect.

302
00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:48,710
It's like just it goes on and on

303
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:49,130
forever.

304
00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:52,150
Yeah, a studio cans can have a long

305
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,050
cord and this pair of cans I have

306
00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:54,910
has a short cord.

307
00:09:55,570 --> 00:09:58,590
So depending in my particular use case, the

308
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:00,690
short cord is actually great because I don't

309
00:10:00,690 --> 00:10:02,670
need, it's only going to my desk, it's

310
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:04,930
going three feet, you know, but there are

311
00:10:04,930 --> 00:10:07,110
occasions where I'll do something and I yank

312
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:08,710
on it because I go, oh, this is

313
00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:09,830
a short cord, you know?

314
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:12,510
So it's the longer cord.

315
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:13,590
I appreciate it.

316
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:16,210
I would imagine that they will sell you

317
00:10:16,210 --> 00:10:17,930
those cords too, probably.

318
00:10:18,070 --> 00:10:18,450
Probably.

319
00:10:18,730 --> 00:10:20,690
I didn't check, but there should be no

320
00:10:20,690 --> 00:10:22,990
reason why they're not interchangeable and, you know,

321
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:24,310
you could change the longer or short.

322
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:24,790
Yeah.

323
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:26,970
But I'm the same as you, George, because

324
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:28,770
when I'm sitting at this desk, I've got

325
00:10:28,770 --> 00:10:31,970
the short cord because the, you know, interface

326
00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:33,070
is just sitting next to me.

327
00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:34,270
So I don't need the long cord.

328
00:10:34,330 --> 00:10:35,250
You don't want to roll over it with

329
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:36,410
your office chair, you know?

330
00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:37,650
Haven't we all done that?

331
00:10:37,810 --> 00:10:39,090
The days of radio where all of a

332
00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:40,570
sudden your headphones pack up because you just

333
00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:42,510
run over the cord and snapped it, you

334
00:10:42,510 --> 00:10:42,650
know?

335
00:10:42,770 --> 00:10:44,530
I mean, what was the first headphone that

336
00:10:44,530 --> 00:10:47,430
anybody really used with a replaceable cable?

337
00:10:48,130 --> 00:10:49,750
I mean, there weren't many for a really,

338
00:10:49,950 --> 00:10:50,650
really long time.

339
00:10:50,770 --> 00:10:51,730
You know, the first I can think of

340
00:10:51,730 --> 00:10:53,650
was Audio-Technica maybe that had that.

341
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:55,070
I have no idea.

342
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:56,150
I don't remember seeing them.

343
00:10:56,430 --> 00:10:57,470
AKG maybe did.

344
00:10:57,630 --> 00:11:01,350
Came with one that Undid, I seem to

345
00:11:01,350 --> 00:11:01,730
recall.

346
00:11:02,450 --> 00:11:03,410
I don't remember that.

347
00:11:03,570 --> 00:11:05,230
First time I'm thinking that's pretty cool.

348
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:06,170
Yeah.

349
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:07,990
That's a big deal.

350
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:09,730
I mean, that's what gets the most abuse

351
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:10,330
and destruction.

352
00:11:10,890 --> 00:11:12,130
Well, especially with short cords.

353
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:12,730
Yeah.

354
00:11:12,890 --> 00:11:15,730
The 20s fit the same as the 15s?

355
00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:15,970
Yeah.

356
00:11:16,270 --> 00:11:17,490
So you can interchange.

357
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,990
They feel thicker and more padded for me

358
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:23,330
than the 55s and the 65s.

359
00:11:23,390 --> 00:11:24,790
It feels like there's more padding.

360
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:25,750
That's because they're lighter, I think.

361
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:26,590
Yeah, it could be.

362
00:11:26,590 --> 00:11:27,370
They're much lighter.

363
00:11:27,830 --> 00:11:27,930
Yeah.

364
00:11:27,950 --> 00:11:28,170
Could be.

365
00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:31,390
So these are to wear for long sessions

366
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:31,950
too, maybe.

367
00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:35,390
They're lighter, definitely lighter because there's different plastic

368
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:36,710
that they've used and all that sort of

369
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:36,930
stuff.

370
00:11:37,150 --> 00:11:37,730
Very nice.

371
00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:39,330
I can't wait to try one myself.

372
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:39,890
Thumbs up.

373
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:41,390
Well, you'll be getting them soon, I'm sure.

374
00:11:41,510 --> 00:11:43,310

Nice.

380
