[@gonzy_estavez]

always impressed by the quality of the mics. just goes to show how great a wired connection is

[@qlum]

It's not about being wired, it's just that putting the mic right next to your ear is just the worst spot to put a mic. Sound travels mostly forward from your mouth, so you need a lot of gain to get a decent volume out of the mic on a tws.

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

@@qlum cheap ones can't afford to tune the mics properly basically

[@nitroxylictv]

@@qlum It kinda is about being wired. The $4 earbuds have a better mic quality than AirPods, and that is because the sound coming from AirPods is compressed and sent to a device over Bluetooth, which is a far less quality than analog input. Its the same for most Bluetooth audio and there are some better than the $4 earbuds, but the best analog audio will always be better than the best digital audio.

2:03 leaving this for me to use this evil laugh in a future movie I'm going to make in my imagination

[@xri0tt]

oh yes, new dankpods upload to make me happy and fill the empty hole in my heart

[@jbwangiha3320]

Nothing gives me more joy than hearing an Aussie dude destroy the living hell out of earphones😂

I was about to say “why do the sonic b’s actually sound good” then I realized I’m not wearing my headphones and using my phone speaker

[@gamerguy127]

Honestly, one of my favourite days of the week is when a new dankpods video drops. Just pure happiness in a video 😊

[@capybara2671]

I worked at a grocery store for awhile and went thru many of these types of headphones that I'd grab off the shelf. I found them to fine for what I needed.

[@uyach.3741]

It's always interesting to see the quality difference between budget price points. Seems that higher price points in this case means more 'aesthetic', but often at the cost of functionality / quality(?)

[@LutraLovegood]

Manufacturers can get away with it because there's near-0 consumer knowledge on these products (mainstream reviews under 50 bucks are rare, often non-existent), but you can find gems in those price ranges sometimes. KZ, Moondrops and even Sony themselves make some good or great audio gear in those prices, but you have to find them / hear about them.

I really need to hear this character through a high end crispy microphone 1:50

[@equaniman647]

This was a great video. Would love a part 2.

[@elmaster6207]

8:22 This is why I use any Good Headphone like JBL or Sony with a $10 Aux Microphone, for some reason those cheap tiny mics work better than Gaming headsets mics.

[@tomxzf]

I love the mic tests. Excellent vid as usual.

[@velox813]

The story’s that you say on the microphone bits, 😂 they are the best

[@TheVacuuminator]

I always knew this day was coming, Dank trashed the basic Sonys I've been dailying for the last 10 years. My only regret is he did it before I could upgrade, which I've been meaning to ever since he did his headphones beginners guide but money and priorities haven't lined up yet lol

[@IAmToastyGhost]

Before you upgrade, also take into account the Moondrop Chu. Phenomenal sound for $20, and arguably better than the KZs Dank recommends (I have the Chus and the KZ ZS10 Pros and I prefer the Chus). Other reviewers, such as Crinacle, have also practically worshipped them.

[@d3viLang3LFall3n]

The CCA CRA is good too.

[@nathansstuff1547]

@@IAmToastyGhost The Chus are wonderful.

[@TorontoPopulistConservative]

I like the budget earbud style Sony in ears you can get at the supermarket, sound way better just because you can get a good seal on them

It's time for the WWE - Walmart Watered-Down Earbuds!

I know it’s a good day when I see a dankpods upload within the first minute

[@xProErax]

Really needed this video man even though it was just simple headphones that you reviewed, it helped me forget about how stupid driving exams are!

[@limecheesecake1832]

Though cheap supermarket headphones might sound alright, what really gets them down for me is the lifespan of them. When I was younger and they were all I could afford, I would get through a pair every few months, because the sound in one of the earphones would just not work, or get really quiet, or something else would break on them pretty quickly. But they're good while they last lmao.
