  • today I've got something called black pods, but it's not.

  • The first version of black pods is a couple of videos on YouTube of things that are called black pods, which air knockoff black versions.

  • I got this little note here, and the website is black noir dot com, but the AI is flipped to Avi.

  • It's very hard to keep it all together.

  • It's interesting to me nonetheless, obviously, because the air pods air wildly successful.

  • My very own black airpods, which are actual airpods, these air custom painted from color where so they're very expensive and airpods themselves are already very expensive.

  • These air around 59 bucks USD, so it's a substantial discount.

  • We designed these headphones who wanted to make something super similar to air pods.

  • Yeah, we get it.

  • This version here apparently has wireless charging.

  • They say it's a bold claim.

  • They're going to try to live up to it, so it's black anwar dot com.

  • Flip the A into a V if you can keep that together.

  • Of course, all that matters is, did they work?

  • Are they a valid substitute?

  • How good do they need to be?

  • Crack this open and find out for ourselves.

  • Pulled tohave over here is not apple caliber, but it'll do.

  • The case is a matte black finish.

  • It's very similar to the airport.

  • You have the button on the back over here.

  • The clique is not quite as nice.

  • Hinge up top.

  • Boom.

  • Your black pods.

  • They look a lot like apple air pots led light on the front as well as you saw Green.

  • Right there There is a U.

  • S B cable connector that looks a lot like lightning, but something tells me it's some sort of micro USB variant.

  • You get a little quality control passed from the factory in China.

  • So there you have that as well.

  • They connect to the phone just like the rial airpods.

  • If I crack this open like this and look at that connect, hold the button.

  • As far as the phones concerned, these air air pots and unnamed black pods, that's ah, that's a very unusual experience, as faras Bluetooth headphones are concerned.

  • So in this case, you start to wonder, How did they make that happen?

  • What kind of factory did they can't chip from?

  • Because that pairing experience is seamless and great.

  • One of the major advantages to getting apple have phones to go with your apple device.

  • It looks almost identical.

  • I'll get the official ones out to do a size comparison here.

  • Official One is in glossy black black pot.

  • Obviously isn't.

  • What happens if I take the black pods and try to fit him into the official charged case?

  • Oh, they were.

  • It works.

  • This is like the legit one toe one copy by the looks of it.

  • Let me throw these in real quick, but I'm still curious.

  • Did they sound like garbage or they have decent.

  • Let's find out.

  • Little Naz ex panini.

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Cruise These sounds sort of like air pots.

  • I mean, I gotta be honest, like I kind of expected them to sound worse than they do.

  • What about longevity?

  • What about durability?

  • What about battery life?

  • How does it hold up?

  • I mean, for 59 bucks with the case and in all that and the pairing who?

  • Well, there's still 100%.

  • Look at that.

  • I'm gonna switch over here.

  • Yep.

  • All right.

  • Official airpods time and the fit is essentially the same.

  • These sound better.

  • They sound better.

  • It's significant It's mostly in the base when you throw these on right after the other gas.

  • Okay?

  • He's definitely have more base.

  • That song, by the way, has a lot going on Sonic.

  • Okay, one more time I switch back to the black clouds.

  • Not as loud, but no.

  • Look, they work.

  • They're not gonna blow your head off.

  • You're not gonna be like, Ah, zoning out.

  • First of all, you're not looking at it like I have $200 to spend on headphones.

  • You're still trying to save yourself.

  • I need I need something in this particular budget.

  • I think this product, the air pods that is, are so successful not because of the way they sound, even know.

  • Like I said, they sound better than this knockoff version.

  • They don't sound terrible a farce, and phones are concerned.

  • But I think it's Maur the package deal convenient for people and is less friction to carry it with you.

  • So all of a sudden you're using headphones in places that you may be previously wouldn't have.

  • It's just the whole thing together that I think it's so compelling for individuals.

  • Prior to this product coming out, there was a rumor that Apple might make black airpods officially from the company no color where necessary.

  • It's unfortunate Apple didn't do that kind of puts you in a weird spot.

  • If you really wanna have black airpods, you go with some knockoff version for a fraction of the cost, which has a fraction of the sound.

  • Or you go with some stupid, expensive setup like this where you're getting this custom paint job, which seems a little extreme.

  • This product is that I don't have enough exposure to it or the brand to know whether or not it's worth recommending.

  • Long term.

  • I can say it works.

  • It functions.

  • It connects in a seamless fashion.

  • It's lacking in volume and base.

  • All of a sudden, now you're like, I really want this convenient package experience, pairing and so forth, and I just don't want to spend 200 bucks.

  • So now I understand why there's a demand for something like this.

  • Now.

  • I believe this one also has wireless charging on it, and it does.

  • Even if it is a knockoff.

  • It's a pretty good knockoff.

  • Somebody went back to the drawing board to put something together in this form factor that could be more affordable.

  • And even if it's a knockoff, it's kind of surprising that they were able to do so.

  • This company, who knows.

  • But for now, I think this is actually a pretty interesting package for the price.

  • Just don't expect it to sound exactly like Airpods for 59 bucks.

today I've got something called black pods, but it's not.
