[@Waffles-oz4vl]

I feel like microphone test is being skipped a lot in recent reviews. The quality of the microphone will make or break the purchase for a lot of people. I bought the Sony 1000mx4’s partially based off of this channels review and got rid of them because the microphone was terrible, but they never tested the microphone in the review. Hate to see it.

[@benpauley8167]

Yeah, @9000Waffles just go to the other channel where they don't even review the product at all! Thanks @hebbocake, how did no one else think of that!

[@wtfcooldown9675]

More than 5 seconds of coverage about the microphone would be nice. Even on their more in-depth review they tend to skip over it

[@nehalchoy]

You really shouldn't be buying products after watching a short circuit review. There are plenty of other sources that provide more scientifically accurate reviews. Crinacle, Soundguys, rtings are among the best that come to mind.

Now if only we can get James and the crew to review their earbuds properly. And before you call bs their recent review of the anker vr p10s specifically said it would work with Xbox and as far as I can tell, they do not.

[@ericli2475]

​@@vav413 Earlier in the video he says you can connect to a PS4 with an adapter, so I don't see why you couldn't do the same with an Xbox

[@Xfade81]

@@ericli2475 there are more video's of that specific product, all saying the xbox is curiously not supported, while switch, ps5 and pc are. As for @vab413, surely that's just a minor thing and the reason you should always watch more then 1 review. If the buds supports many devices you'd think it's safe to assume it would also support xbox. They can still add support but that's on xbox.

[@HolybasilYT]

Looks good. I take every sponsored video with a grain of salt, but those look like a solid midrange to budget option.

[@ZeykaFX]

They really are solid, I bought mine a few weeks ago and they are amazing, the only thing is that the anc isn't as good as my bose qc35 but that would be unreasonable to compare them to haha

Lol yeah this was a straight up ad

[@SlayedAsian]

Yo, ShortCircuit Just gotta mention that I ordered 2 sets of these buds because of the posted video; I was intrigued. 20% off + free wireless charger. That’s a fire deal. Experience was awful. I ordered through their website and paid using Apple Pay which is a payment option offered. My order was canceled since they couldn’t locate billing information. Billing and shipping info was posted in the order confirmation lol. Long story short; terrible customer service and no options to rectify. 1MORE support suggested I order through Amazon and that they would only offer 10% off.

[@zikamikakokoku]

Lol, it was an ad and you fell for it 🤦‍♂️

[@wtfcooldown9675]

Mac address: buy the air pod pros Short circuit an hour later: nah

[@xanedan4565]

I'd take it with a pretty big grain of salt if ANC and Transparency especially is your thing. I bought the Ear(1's) off a similar recommendation on Short Circuit, and while they're pretty good for the price, the ANC on them is incredibly spotty in my experience and half the time it feels like it isn't doing anything at all. Unless I missed it, James didn't even comment on the transparency - not sure what to make of that.

[@Omar-kl3xp]

@@xanedan4565 yh people need to realise that these are not reviews but sponsored vidoes so you should not buy a product based on these sponsors videos.

[@YupCauseUr2Cool]

As a person that talks a lot though my headset, the microphone test is absolutely important.

[@Blearky]

I hope they add an optional band between both because going jogging in the dark (like right now in the winter time) can be really rough with this type of earpods. They have a perfect form to do so. Other than that they seem really solid.

[@KickingAustin]

I would love a wind profile for noise cancelling. I can't use my noise cancelling when I bike or use my e-scooter. The plosives, crackling, and such are way worse than using the buds with no noise cancelling.

[@yensteel]

It does have WNR (Wind noise resistance). It's a little weaker than Strong but does a better job at ignoring wind. The issue is that it's not foolproof from my experience. High winds can still create some noise. I don't have any other earphone for reference, so I can't say if its WNR is good or not.

[@FengLengshun]

The app experience reminds me of Soundcore. And speaking of, I feel like that nowadays people need to highlight the multipoint experience. Like, is it there? How does it work? Does it switches gracefully? Can it deal with sudden calls and/or multiple sources at the same time? In comparison to the last Soundcore review it feels kinda meh not having multipoint experience be highlighted.

[@mighty_aaron702]

This chanel doesn't do reviews. It's unboxings and first impressions only

[@ansonx10]

Pointing out how the frequencies on a graphic EQ are "non-linear" is funny. They're literally logarithmic, which is by design, and used for all audio equalizers. Linear would be unusable. (I still hate graphic EQs though; particularly the low-effort ones built apps like these)

[@James-tx2gf]

When you don't want to get backlash for promoting a trash product as airpods killers you just put "you decide" in the title. genius

[@hussains3241]

I've bought 2x 1More earbuds. The 1MORE ComfoBuds Mini True Wireless Noise Canceling earbuds. The most comfortable earbuds i have tried and the noise cancelling was decent for the price. But both failed within a month. Got sent replacements. Both replacements failed within a month. They all started hissing when in noise cancelling mode then 1 bud would just work at a low volume. Maybe it is just this one model, but that shows some poor standard of quality control from 1More.

[@arya_amg]

Adjustable EQ should look like that because we hear frequency's logarithmic EQ gaps should get bigger as you increase frequency

[@wrt142]

Seem pretty interesting and the features seem very decent, the Design isn't tho I wish they would have invested a bit more time into that

[@andymosier5569]

I'm intrigued about these, any true wireless earbuds give me a terrible contact allergy in my ears from the charging contacts. With these contacts on the stem rather than the interior of the earbud itself it's possible these might not trigger a reaction. I miss the small form factor of earbuds and this gives me a renewed hope.

[@andycapybara]

Can you guys review - sorry, unbox - the comfobuds pros? I think their value is so strong

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Any reason why microphone and call quality not tested? What about bicycle riding, for the wind noise? What about doing some exercise or manual work to see if their earphones stay in? Otherwise these videos are just like someone trying something on in a shop. You have 80 members of staff so please put some effort into testing the products otherwise what's the point of watching your product tests? And I think James is a great reviewer I just wish whoever is directing this and organising this review would have it set up that he does actually ride a bicycle, test a microphones on a phone call, and do some exercise or manual work so we can see if they stay in or not. And it was disappointing that he couldn't say if they were comfortable to wear for more than an hour. Please have a reviewer who uses the product for a few days.

[@HEXXDJ]

if they make a sport add on for them i will get them because earphones like that do not stay in my ear, if someone could get in contact with them im sure more people will get them because my friends have the same issue and are loking for earphones under 150 but they like the over ear sport addon

[@RaymondwLin]

I watched the entire thing and he didn't make a single comment on how good they sound...even in the section in the time stamp under Sound. - "Loud enough. Head tracking, spatial audio, pauses when pulled out, comfortable and light, ANC comment", nothing on sound quality. That to me speaks volumes.

[@TheAlkhemiaStudio]

The only question i have is, is that app also compatible with the comfobuds mini? and i would love to see a review of the comfobuds mini by 1more. Been eyeing those for quite some time but have seen mixed reviews allover yt

[@DarkestKnightshade]

Check El Jefe Reviews video on the comfobuds mini. He is very in depth and you should find the answer there.

[@Neoxon619]

I’m surprised at the AirPods don’t have any sort of rated water resistance.

[@Nullpersona]

Can you do a comparison of ANC in earbuds both wireless and semi-wireless? Something with sensor data graphs, and various natural/artificial demo noise profiles.

[@Jules.11011]

That sounds like an LTT video, not short circuit. Interesting idea nonetheless

[@markc8400]

How would these compare to the nothing ear(1)? They're about €110 on Amazon rn and I was getting them thanks to the fairly quality sound + anc on a budget. Would these be a better budget buy? Nothing does have the nice design tho

[@brandonguz]

The nothings are pretty good (noise cancellation and sound quality in particular) but they have connection issues at times. I picked them up in an Amazon sale for €60 as a backup pair for my AirPods Pro, and I’m happy with them at that price. I wouldn’t pay €110 for them though.

[@markc8400]

No case thickness comparison with the AirPods Pro? No microphone testing? I know this is supposed to be "unboxing" and whatnot (and I'm not really asking for a noise cancelling test), but clearly its presented as some sort of review/suggestion on whether or not you should buy the product. I guess I'll stick to dankpods for audio stuff.

I hope sony will release a new pair of bluetooth headphones with ldac 2.0 in there bluetooth earbuds so it can support 24 bit 96 khz using lossless compression instead of using lossy compression like there current bluetooth headphones.

Put back in storage my elite 85h since the AirPods have an anc so good that o don’t need an over the ear headphone and finally gave my wf1000xm3 to my wife since the sound quality is as good or better. And I’m not even counting how good the integration is with the ecosystem. Listening music in the iPhone a zoom call in the Mac it switches. Jump to the couch to watch some Netflix in the iPad boom automatically switches. No other Bluetooth or ecosystem can do that
