And Austrian Audio.

34
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:45,640
Making passion heard.

35
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:49,300
Talking about hearing, I think iOS have added

36
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:53,380
some new functions that allows your iOS device

37
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:54,880
to hear different sources.

38
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:55,840
Is that correct?

39
00:00:55,860 --> 00:00:57,740
Yeah, so I always drag my feet on

40
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:00,000
new iOS versions, just like I do with

41
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,500
macOS.

42
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,379
But I didn't drag my feet on the

43
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:07,500
AirPod Pro 3, and that got me –

44
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,820
they sucked me in on that one.

45
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:10,620
It's very rare I buy a product on

46
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,320
launch day, and this was pretty close to

47
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:12,920
that for me.

48
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:15,240
There was just so much innovation in the

49
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,560
product.

50
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:17,640
And the reason I brought up the AirPods

51
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,620
is there are features that you can't do

52
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:22,400
with the new AirPods unless you upgrade your

53
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:22,880
phone.

54
00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:26,260
And so I started researching deeper, and there

55
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,420
was a YouTuber that did this crazy long

56
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:30,600
video, 18 things that you didn't know about

57
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,820
your AirPod Pro 3.

58
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:34,820
This is like a really long video, and

59
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:36,700
he's showing all these features, and I'm like,

60
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,040
I can't – wait, what's that?

61
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,100
I'm not able to do that.

62
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,020
Then I finally realized later in the video,

63
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:43,900
he eventually mentioned you need to be on

64
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:45,000
iOS 26.

65
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:49,560
So all new OSs from Apple have the

66
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,120
year as the model number now.

67
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,380
So they're all iOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS

68
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:56,200
26.

69
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,060
Everything's just on the year.

70
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:00,760
And so iOS 26 is the new one,

71
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:02,960
and it's got features that are beyond just

72
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,580
window dressing because I was not excited about

73
00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:09,720
the new translucent liquid metal, whatever they call

74
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,400
it, glass.

75
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,720
I don't care about all the window dressing

76
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,140
stuff.

77
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,040
I really don't.

78
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720
But it was cool to see that a

79
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,560
new feature is that you can choose your

80
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,280
microphone per app.

81
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:24,620
So if you're doing video, for example, using

82
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:26,860
the video app, you can now from the

83
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,980
command center, it'll show what microphones you have.

84
00:02:30,140 --> 00:02:32,340
So for example, if you have your iPhone

85
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,980
with AirPods, Bluetooth in, and you've got a

86
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:39,020
Passport Pro VO plugged in, and you have

87
00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:41,820
all these devices connected, you can tell the

88
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:45,120
app that's open which microphone it's going to

89
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:45,540
use.

90
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:46,780
At long last.

91
00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:49,400
It looks like you can't get iOS 26

92
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,880
yet.

93
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,380
It just says see what's coming, but I

94
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:51,940
can't update.

95
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:53,100
That's interesting.

96
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:54,180
Yeah, no, it's definitely.

97
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,380
My girlfriend put it on her iPhone 13

98
00:02:56,380 --> 00:02:58,280
like a week or two ago.

99
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:01,120
I have an iPhone 11, and it's telling

100
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,720
me like.

101
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:04,900
Oh, it's possible that that one's just generation

102
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:05,740
old, too old.

103
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,380
I don't know.

104
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:07,860
No, it says see what's coming.

105
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,900
It says see what's coming in iOS 26.

106
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:12,280
You still have an iPhone 6, Robbo?

107
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,000
Well, interestingly, funny you should say that because

108
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320
I'm actually patiently waiting for the postman to

109
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,380
turn up today because my new iPhone is

110
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:20,880
on its way to be delivered today.

111
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,300
So I'm kind of hanging it up.

112
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,680
You're going to have iOS 26 before all

113
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:25,800
of us.

114
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,560
I am still on a 6S for everybody

115
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,200
else out there.

116
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Yes, indeed.

117
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,460
There you go.

118
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:30,020
That is impressive.

119
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,480
As of this moment, I am still on

120
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,020
a 6S.

121
00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:33,500
All hail Robbo.

122
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,440
I am not worthy.

123
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:39,020
He took the iPhone 6 farther than I

124
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:40,060
took the iPhone 5.

125
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,780
Yeah, right.

126
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:42,640
I'll be honest with you.

127
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,200
I'm the kind of person that doesn't upgrade

128
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,940
unless I need to, and because I work

129
00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:47,660
from home, I use my phone to make

130
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:49,440
calls, and that's about it.

131
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:50,980
I've got an iPad that I do everything

132
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:52,280
else in, and I've got a Mac in

133
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,720
the studio.

134
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:53,700
I didn't know that.

135
00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:54,940
I didn't know the phone was for making

136
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:55,560
phone calls.

137
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,060
We abandoned that a long time ago.

138
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,020
That's right.

139
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Yeah, well, that's one of the few things

140
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,280
that, you know, that's one of the few

141
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:01,580
things.

142
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:01,880
Yeah.

143
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,420
Yeah, exactly.

144
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,700
I mean, phone.

145
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,020
What does this phone word mean?

146
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:06,760
What is this phone call thing you speak

147
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:06,900
of?

148
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,160
Well, ironically, most of the calls these days

149
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,140
are, you know, WhatsApp, too, or something like

150
00:04:11,140 --> 00:04:13,260
that, too, from overseas, you know, like from

151
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:14,740
the U.K. or the U.S. or

152
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:14,960
whatever.

153
00:04:15,339 --> 00:04:18,600
So the phone function is barely even necessary

154
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,700
either, let's be honest.

155
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,780
Most of my phone calls are AI trying

156
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:22,900
to call, like.

157
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,460
Oh, no.

158
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:24,680
I know.

159
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:29,700
Yeah, my girlfriend gets AI Tony Robbins calls.

160
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Really?

161
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680
This is AI Tony Robbins, and it literally

162
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,660
says AI Tony Robbins.

163
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:35,300
Yeah.

164
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:37,240
She's like, I'm like, oh, no.

165
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,480
She is.

166
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,060
Get off that mailing list as soon as

167
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:39,500
you can.

168
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:40,500
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

169
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,700
Yeah, no, I'm looking forward to it.

170
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,380
Now, since I have AirPod Pro 3, I

171
00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:46,420
want to be able to try some of

172
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:48,820
the new features, another one being live translation.

173
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:53,780
So now, sadly, and not a big surprise,

174
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
but sadly, Persian or Farsi is not one

175
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,200
of those languages.

176
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,660
We'll have to see.

177
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:00,000
Well, that would be illegal, right?

178
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,920
The Trump administration said not to.

179
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:02,920
Yeah, probably.

180
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Well, it's kind of funny.

181
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:06,740
Like, ChatGPT speaks fluent Farsi.

182
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:08,300
Perfect.

183
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Pretty good.

184
00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:11,580
I mean, my girlfriend talks at her phone

185
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:12,580
in Farsi all the time.

186
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:13,360
It's amazing.

187
00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:16,080
So they're way ahead of the curve.

188
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:18,220
Apple has not added that.

189
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:19,700
But I'm looking forward to it.

190
00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:21,780
You have no idea how excited I'm going

191
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,640
to be to eavesdrop in on all my

192
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:29,160
girlfriend's conversations with her family because it drives

193
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,840
me crazy.

194
00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:32,600
Imagine the look on their face the first

195
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,280
time you go, but didn't you say to

196
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:35,620
your mom on the phone the other day

197
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:36,720
that, you know, blah, blah, blah.

198
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:37,340
Yeah, exactly.

199
00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:38,120
How do you know?

200
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:40,220
I mean, you know, I feel like a

201
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:42,300
dog where, you know, dogs sit there and

202
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:43,680
they look at their master, and the master's

203
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,480
like, Rex.

204
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:47,900
Yeah, exactly.

205
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:49,180
You just hear your name.

206
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,060
Yeah, you just keep hearing, like, George, George.

207
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:54,640
I'm like, huh?

208
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:55,240
What?

209
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,360
What are you saying?

210
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:57,760
Exactly.

211
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,920
What did you say about me on the

212
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,080
phone?

213
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,620
I wasn't even talking about you, George.

214
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,600
Oh, nothing.

215
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:02,480
That's right.

216
00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:03,020
That's right.

217
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,200
No, I mean, from the early reviews I've

218
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,640
seen, it does not work well at, like,

219
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,300
the nail salon, which is apparently one of

220
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,300
the most popular possible ways to use this.

221
00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:13,080
So you can eavesdrop in on the conversation

222
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:13,980
at the nail salon.

223
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,800
The Vietnamese or Thai ladies in there, they're

224
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,120
probably.

225
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,580
Have you seen that YouTube, that stand-up

226
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:18,960
comedian?

227
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,040
She does the whole thing about the Vietnamese,

228
00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:22,060
a nail salon.

229
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:23,860
Oh, yeah, like, oh, only $5 more.

230
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:24,740
Yeah, that one.

231
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,460
Everything is like, oh, $5.

232
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,040
I watched that yesterday.

233
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,560
I was like, you look so cute.

234
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,200
That was a Seinfeld episode, too.

235
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,180
Oh.

236
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,640
They did it way back in the day.

237
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:34,920
Yeah.

238
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:37,940
And they had no idea that it was

239
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:41,840
Jerry's father, I think, that turned out he

240
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,540
could speak the language because he was in

241
00:06:43,540 --> 00:06:44,460
Vietnam in the war.

242
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,280
And he learned Farp and he learned Vietnamese.

243
00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:49,680
So he was listening in and got really

244
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,400
angry about what they were saying about his

245
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,080
wife or something.

246
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:52,760
I don't remember.

247
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,440
It was a whole thing, you know.

248
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:55,720
That's hilarious.

249
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,220
Yeah.

250
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,300
Apparently, you do have to, like, you know,

251
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,720
you have to be facing the person because

252
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,960
they use noise canceling and beamforming and all

253
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,760
this crap to focus their pickup, you know,

254
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,620
on who you're talking to.

255
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:09,780
But the reason I was excited about the

256
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:12,320
AirPod Pro 3 for microphone is that apparently

257
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840
it is a quality enough microphone that you

258
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200
can use it for content creation now.

259
00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:20,260
So, like, you could shoot a video, put

260
00:07:20,260 --> 00:07:22,280
an AirPod in, use that mic, and it

261
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,180
sounds fairly good.

262
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:26,120
Like, I heard some samples and it's still

263
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,320
nowhere near as good as a proper mic.

264
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,140
But, I mean, it's a far cry from

265
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:34,100
a microphone being three feet away on a

266
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,420
phone because they've had the ability to do

267
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:37,420
this for a long time.

268
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:39,180
But the quality was pretty crap.

269
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,380
It was pretty not great, not good fidelity,

270
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,140
kind of really compressed sounding.

271
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:46,440
And now it sounds pretty freaking good.

272
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,980
But by their very design, they're never going

273
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:49,720
to sound fantastic.

274
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,500
I mean, would you point a 416 at

275
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:51,780
your ear?

276
00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:52,500
No, no.

277
00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:53,180
You know what I mean?

278
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:56,640
They have more than one microphone inside those.

279
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,820
Those things are insane.

280
00:07:58,380 --> 00:08:00,020
Have you ever heard of iFixit.com?

281
00:08:00,460 --> 00:08:02,980
iFixit is a website that all they do

282
00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:05,020
is tear down every new product and tell

283
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:06,060
you how to fix it, right?

284
00:08:06,460 --> 00:08:08,180
And then they give you a score from

285
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:10,480
0 to 10 for repairability.

286
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,660
How much you can repair it at home.

287
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,240
Good luck.

288
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,260
Because iFixit sells, they sell tools, they sell

289
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:18,980
parts, and then they give away all the

290
00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:19,900
how-to for free.

291
00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:21,140
It's a really nice resource.

292
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:23,120
And I watched the guy tear down the

293
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,700
AirPod Pro 3 and he said, yep, they're

294
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:25,680
just as bad as ever.

295
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,700
Zero out of 10.

296
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,820
Because he said by the time he had

297
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:30,420
it apart, it was destroyed.

298
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,460
You will never get it back together.

299
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,740
Yeah, exactly.

300
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:35,059
That's the problem with these things.

301
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:37,260
That's what happened with the old iPod.

302
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,419
Yeah.

303
00:08:38,659 --> 00:08:40,299
The amount of tech packed into those things

304
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:41,840
is mind-blowing.

305
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:42,940
It is incredible.

306
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,160
And the ones that I have now, I

307
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,260
mean, again, they have a V-shape EQ,

308
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,940
so not great with music, not great for

309
00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:51,060
mixing.

310
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,720
But the bass response is insane.

311
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Like, I can hear 20, even 15 hertz

312
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,180
on my AirPods.

313
00:08:58,220 --> 00:09:02,820
And the ear tips are a foam silicone

314
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:05,940
blend or something, so they make a really

315
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:07,500
good seal in your ear.

316
00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:08,460
They don't fall out.

317
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,320
And that's a big part of it.

318
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880
You want good low response with earbuds, you

319
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,240
have to have a really, really tight ear

320
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,480
seal.

321
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,000
Yeah, that's kind of why I like my

322
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,680
in-ears for my headphones.

323
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:23,520
The adaptive noise reduction mode is really cool,

324
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,020
because you can go from being outside where

325
00:09:27,020 --> 00:09:29,020
it's noisy to being inside, like in a

326
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:30,200
cafe or a coffee shop.

327
00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:32,200
You can just sort of move from space

328
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,380
to space, and it adapts the noise control.

329
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
So if it gets really loud, it pulls

330
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,860
it in, protecting your hearing.

331
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,560
And then as soon as you start to

332
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,820
speak, it opens it up again, so you

333
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:43,800
can have a conversation.

334
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,600
And it's as smooth as silk.

335
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:48,700
If you're listening to a podcast or music,

336
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,720
the music dims down and it pauses.

337
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,220
When you're done conversing, it starts to play.

338
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:54,260
It's really slick.

339
00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:55,120
It's very well done.

340
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:55,880
And how much are they?

341
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,240
They're like $250 or $300?

342
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:58,280
$250, $250.

343
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,080
I mean, it's a lot for earbuds, but

344
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,600
for the technology that's in them, it's...

345
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,320
I mean, I had the AirPod Pro ones.

346
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:07,280
I still have them.

347
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,260
And, you know, I'll never use them again.

348
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:11,480
There's no reason to.

349
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,380
I mean, these just completely blow them away

350
00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:16,240
in terms of just usability, functionality.

351
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:17,460
And, yeah.

352
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,540
Even in the car, I'll put them on

353
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,980
sometimes, just because the noise canceling is so

354
00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:22,260
nice.

355
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,620
But you're not supposed to have noise-canceling

356
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:25,700
headphones in the car.

357
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,100
So I'll just use the adaptive mode.

358
00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,580
And so if someone's like, there's a siren

359
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:33,580
or something, like a horn, you can hear

360
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:33,780
it.

361
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:35,020
It's not going to kill it.

362
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,600
In Chicago, that shit will make you go

363
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,100
deaf.

364
00:10:38,540 --> 00:10:38,780
Yeah.

365
00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:43,120
Do you guys have ambulances or emergency vehicles

366
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,200
that make that sound in Chicago?

367
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:46,480
Yeah.

368
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:46,720
Yeah.

369
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,980
The police cars are that like...

370
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:50,880
And they also...

371
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,700
But the fire trucks in Chicago are stupid

372
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:56,160
loud.

373
00:10:56,340 --> 00:10:58,840
Like it is lawsuit loud, I think.

374
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,140
But they also send out a really low

375
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:03,040
frequency to make the car vibrate in front

376
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,300
of them.

377
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,360
They do that in New York.

378
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:04,740
Yeah.

379
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:06,060
I mean, I saw that in New York.

380
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,300
Yeah.

381
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:07,560
It's like really loud.

382
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:08,240
It's like tense.

383
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,020
How many times do you see idiots who

384
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:12,900
are just sitting in the middle lane and

385
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:13,640
don't let them by?

386
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:14,400
Is it any wonder?

387
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Seriously.

388
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Yeah.

389
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
They have to be aggressive.

390
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,800
So yeah, I mean, if I...

391
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Having these things in my ears, like in

392
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080
an urban environment, would make it tenable for

393
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,260
me.

394
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:26,380
It's the reason I could not live in

395
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:27,860
a major city and walk around.

396
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:29,860
I had a friend who would wear earplugs

397
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:32,200
in Chicago all the time.

398
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:33,980
He would just wear earplugs downtown.

399
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,700
Not me.

400
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:35,620
I didn't have a problem.

401
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:37,540
But...

402
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:37,640
Do you have to pay?

403
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:39,080
No, for me...

404
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:39,320
What?

405
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,420
Huh?

406
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,700
Well, for our Aussie listeners, they're $429 a

407
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:44,800
year.

408
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,300
There you go.

409
00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:46,660
At JB Hi-Fi anyway.

410
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:47,040
Yeah.

411
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:48,540
Not cheap.

412
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,340
They do fill in the gaps.

413
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,180
Like Robert said earlier, his mom got them

414
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:57,040
as a stand-in for a hearing aid.

415
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,180
And it's rather effective because they have a

416
00:11:59,180 --> 00:12:00,880
hearing test feature also.

417
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,400
So we'll do a proper hearing test.

418
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:04,040
Yeah.

419
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,700
I mean, the hardest thing about the hearing

420
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:07,160
test was finding a room quiet enough for

421
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,660
her to do it.

422
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,340
But she got caught up.

423
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,200
I'll tell this for the rest of the

424
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,560
community.

425
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:13,240
She got caught up with one of these

426
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880
predatory hearing aid companies.

427
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:18,260
Had her in a loan.

428
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:19,740
She finally got out of it.

429
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,760
And granted, the hearing aids, they try to

430
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,800
be super tiny behind your ear and you

431
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,900
can't tell you're wearing a hearing aid.

432
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:26,580
Yeah, really discreet, yeah.

433
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,760
So if you forget that part of it

434
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,960
and you're like, I'm wearing an iPod and

435
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,520
now I'm in fashion because these things are

436
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,580
fashionable, then all the services and everything, you

437
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:37,300
just open up the app and you just

438
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:39,360
tap the phone when you hear the tones.

439
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,480
And it takes like probably 20 minutes to

440
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,860
go through the whole hearing aid test.

441
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:45,840
And then my mom starts wearing them and

442
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,720
she's like, oh my God, are our floors

443
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,420
that creaky?

444
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,880
And I'm like, yes, they are.

445
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,620
Not that your legs.

446
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,920
But they just pretty much worked.

447
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,520
And then it has an even better feature

448
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,220
where like, George, I don't know if you

449
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:00,480
know about this one, but you can basically

450
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,620
turn your phone into a microphone and then

451
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:03,760
chuck it in front of the TV.

452
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:05,620
So she doesn't have to make the TV

453
00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:06,820
80,000 decibels.

454
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:07,260
That's right.

455
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,440
To hear.

456
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,020
It can also be used to eavesdrop too.

457
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,180
You can leave your phone in a room

458
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:12,620
and walk out of your room and keep

459
00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:13,680
listening to the conversation.

460
00:13:15,220 --> 00:13:18,140
And then that along with the Farsi translation

461
00:13:18,140 --> 00:13:19,500
and there you go.

462
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:22,700
It's going to come together one of these

463
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:22,980
days.

464
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,220
Yeah, it's a concise product all brought together.

465
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,320
So to end your relationship.

466
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:32,140
End or enhance.

467
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:33,620
You know, we're going to go one way

468
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:34,340
or the other here.

469
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,840
The world would be in bloody trouble if

470
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,200
they put us in charge of Apple, wouldn't

471
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:39,340
they?

472
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:39,880
Let's be honest.

473
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:40,660
Yeah, that's true.

474
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:42,680
There'd be no such thing as privacy anymore.

475
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,520
Well, we changed the name of earpods to

476
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,360
eavesdrops, I think.

477
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Eavesdrops.

478
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:52,180
Well, they look like drops.

479
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,740
They do.

480
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,660
Right, right, right, right.

481
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:57,640
Anyway, you know, not that Apple needs advertising

482
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,780
for me, but I have to give credit

483
00:13:59,780 --> 00:14:00,400
where credit's due.

484
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,960
I just I'm looking forward to just being

485
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,580
able to tell someone that, yes, you can

486
00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:06,240
use your iPhone to record something.

487
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,320
And yes, you can know what input you're

488
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,720
using.

489
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:09,560
It's no longer.

490
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,260
Okay.

491
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:11,340
Here's the question.

492
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,740
Can you use them well enough to record

493
00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:14,340
an audition?

494
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:15,680
For sure.

495
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Yeah.

496
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Oh, you mean the earpods themselves?

497
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:19,400
The earpods.

498
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,540
Is the microphone good enough that you're like,

499
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,020
you know, who knows here or there or

500
00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:23,540
the other place?

501
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:24,700
And you're like, oh, I got an audition.

502
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:25,540
Like, pop.

503
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:28,220
I think the mic in the phones themselves

504
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:30,040
are the best option for that, for sure.

505
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:30,380
Okay.

506
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,660
Like the mics in the phones are surprisingly

507
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:38,000
linear and accurate, you know, and just holding

508
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,860
it in the right place.

509
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,840
And I would use this any day.

510
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,580
Yeah.

511
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,700
Just to bring it back to another episode,

512
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,740
all you got to do is chuck your

513
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:47,060
iPhone into a Chaotica eyeball and you're done.

514
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:49,700
There you go.

515
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:51,380
There you go.

516
00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:53,600
You know, there's companies that make those cases

517
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,100
and they look, I'm going to drop my

518
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,340
phone off this dam and watch it fall

519
00:14:57,340 --> 00:14:58,240
700 feet.

520
00:14:58,580 --> 00:14:59,880
You've seen those, you know.

521
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:00,320
Yes.

522
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,160
It still works.

523
00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:01,600
Yeah.

524
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Well, that could just be the Chaotica eyeball,

525
00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:05,780
shoving your phone in there.

526
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,700
Maybe they should too, but it should be

527
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:09,480
just the I-B-A-L-L.

528
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Yeah.

529
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,040
Well, that was fun.

530
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:12,500
Is it over?

531
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:15,320
