THE FLAGSHIP ⭐ GAN 356 XS First Impressions

The GAN 356 XS is GAN's flagship cube of 2019, combing the very best of all its cubes in one single package. The XS boasts an easy to adjust magnet and elasticity system, while somehow being one of the lightest 3x3 GAN has produced. Impressive specs, but what was it like to actually solve with?

Three things: 1. Yes, that's actually how you pronounce GAN. It's named after Gan Yuan Jiang, the person who started the company, and that's how you say his name. 2. I know that it usually makes more sense to shop locally, but with the current exchange rate, you can get the GAN XS from dailypuzzles.com.au for US$51 (with my discount code)! I know there's also shipping to take into account, but you're supporting me when you shop there, and it really helps me make more of these videos, so I'd love it if you could consider it! 3. I sincerely hope you have a really great day 🙂

[@polanski2399]

hang on, do you live in Australia??

[@thoperSought]

_"... that's actually how you pronounce GAN."_ I don't remember for sure, but I didn't think Mandarin has the /æ/ sound that we use in English, so I'd be super surprised if it were supposed to be pronounced /gæn/ like you usually hear. although, I guess this raises the question: is Gan Yuan Jiang's native dialect Mandarin? if not, does his dialect have /æ/? in any case, does *any* kind of Chinese have /æ/?

IKR two people at my school have a gan x and they average like over 1 minute. I average sub 25 and I’m gonna get a gan x soon. I like the x more because I don’t like frosted plastic.

[@jaque3901]

no u

[@aarushtripurneni7867]

Although I live in the UK and it is $17.50 AUD to ship a cube from Australia to England, the price (including the shipping) is actually better at daily puzzles (only if you use discount code TINGMAN ) than it is in UK cube stores. All the cubes at daily puzzles are at a really good price compared to other cube stores across the world!

[@complexcuber9723]

I’m crying that’s how much I want an XS

[@thedude6740]

I highly recommend you get the GAN 356 AIR M it is basically a GAN XS without the swappable magnets and it costs 20 usd less

[@rjcuber1183]

I am getting the primary internal xs

[@almuspeedcuber]

Now that you've had this cube for a month, could you do a video reviewing it? By the way, love your videos!!

[@Tingman]

Almu Gómez-Sancha probably won’t make a whole video on it sorry, but I did share a few more of my thoughts on it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIfIZohvi8yDsJo On a whole I’m super happy with it!

Use the GAN Card to take the center caps off and adjust the magnets (much more convenient)

[@louisemission9096]

Lmao that cube hero part tho🤣

I've been begging for this for a WHILE!!!

[@arieletchison7107]

my friend has a 356 xs. i really like it and it's much better than my non-gan cubes. i am hopefully getting one for christmas. (2021)

the only decent unboxing of the GAN XS so far, and also interesting to unbox it on an open area, thank you!

You ask the same question in many of the cubing videos I already told you that xs is quieter .

I. Getting this for my birthday 😁😁😁

[@yronymkw7846]

When is your birthday?

[@stevenjeffery8449]

Question @tingman at 2:14 you click the magnets as close to the core as you can. Isn't that the strongest setting. Or as the magnets get closer to the core the magnet strength goes up? That is how the strength was explained to me at least.

[@sebasloera1344]

That is the weakest setting

[@sebasloera1344]

When you move it closer to the core, it miss aligns the edge magnets and the corner magnets, reducing magnetic strength

[@stevenjeffery8449]

Cool review! GAN pronunciation guide: 2016/17 GANS gan'z gæn'z 2018 GANS or GAN gan gæn 2018 GAN 2019 GAN 2020 GAN ˈgən ɡʌn GAN example in a sentence (2020 pronunciation) . Neo says, "I want GANs, lots of GANs." A famous scientist cuber left an equally famous company to make GANS, but in 2021 returned to make a revolutionary cube better than GAN's current flagship, or any top cube for that matter. The rock band GANS And ROSES was formed from two other bands LA GANS and Hollywood Rose in 1984 just joshing / kidding / trolling , but seems all the top you tube cubers pronounce GAN / GANS differently (throughout the years)

[@mr.glassman8566]

I want the GAN cube so much.But its so expensive here ;w;

You are the best cuber

SBSpooky Playz You’re a cuber as long as you can solve a cube and are trying to improve ;)

[@lmf8182]

Ofcourse you are a cuber!

[@Ferotiq]

Why does the Daily Puzzles checkout page look exactly like the Cubicle’s checkout page?

[@andy598]

Should I get stickered or stickerless?

[@bugs5590]

Andy Le Your choice! I personally like sticker less more, but others disagree. If you get the sticker less version, it will provide more if a matte finish. Happy cubing!

I ordered a budget speed cube 2 weeks ago from daily puzzles using code Tingman. The total was $20 and when they said they took off 10% the total only dropped by a few cents. Also the puzzle was supposed to come today and mail has come three times today. No puzzle. The delivery day was today and mail only comes twice so the fact that it is not here is really upsetting me.
