  • Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • Today it is time for yet another mystery tech.

  • This time at a hundred dollars.

  • The Expendables Kunai Throwers.

  • Is this like from Naruto?

  • Wait, wait.

  • No.

  • (laughs)

  • Hey, I'm glad I at least immediately recognized the knives.

  • It's like, wait a minute.

  • I used to want one of these when I was 13.

  • (laughs)

  • I feel like I'm in a GIF right now.

  • (knife sharpening)

  • This looks really bad, doesn't it?

  • (rock music)

  • The next item, please.

  • The Doogee X53.

  • Ken, is this actually real technology,

  • not some dumb joke to make me look dumb on camera?

  • The Doogee X53 has a 5.3 inch display

  • with a 18 by 9 aspect ratio,

  • dual rear cameras, and one gig of ram.

  • Uh, okay.

  • How much was this?

  • 70 dollars, of course.

  • Everyone should always take their phone buying advice

  • from a random weirdo on the internet

  • wearing a Naruto costume.

  • Because, reasons.

  • From the front it actually does look like

  • a much more expensive phone than 70 dollars.

  • Even if you flip it around to the back,

  • with the dual cameras and the metal build,

  • it doesn't feel all that bad.

  • Okay, it doesn't want to power on.

  • It's got two power buttons.

  • It's got one which looks like the power button,

  • it's grooved.

  • But then there's another button here

  • that has a little lightning symbol on it,

  • but neither of those actually turn on the phone.

  • Why don't we plug this guy in

  • and come back to it a little bit later.

  • Design your own headphones.

  • Street art.

  • Actually, I think Lou did a video on this, right?

  • Literally just a pair of super cheap looking headphones.

  • As well as some markers and paint.

  • This is a bad idea.

  • Alright, let's just see if we can make a Ken.

  • Oh man, I'm totally going to slice a finger off.

  • I'm going to make a leaf to match my headband.

  • This is our stencil.

  • Now, do we want to use the paint or the marker?

  • Let's start with the marker

  • and go to the paint for the other side.

  • Oh, look, we have an orange marker

  • to match my awesome jacket.

  • On today's episode of art class with Austin,

  • we crudely draw on some headphones,

  • in the attempt to find some "style".

  • Okay, so that's one side done.

  • For this side, let me see if I can paint.

  • It just squirts.

  • (grimaces)

  • So, after waiting a little while,

  • the paint is somewhat dry.

  • Let's see if I can barely peel this back.

  • This is really the look I was going for the whole time.

  • I think if you take a close look,

  • you'll see the art that I was inspired by.

  • I really wanted to show my inner artist

  • with these headphones.

  • Let's just plug them in and see what they sound like,

  • because I'm sure it's going to be just as great

  • as my wonderful art.

  • Okay, I can actually really clearly describe

  • what these headphones sound like.

  • Imagine you are going to a concert

  • for one of your favorite artists.

  • You spend the entire time with your fingers in your ears.

  • What is this?

  • Trakk's?

  • Is this a backpack?

  • Oh, is it a backpack with a speaker?

  • Wait a minute.

  • How much was this?

  • - [Man] One hundred dollars.

  • - This was a hundred dollars?

  • Uh, this better sound pretty decent.

  • Well, okay, so I guess to be fair,

  • there is sort of some extra function,

  • because you do get a five volt out via USB.

  • So I guess in theory,

  • if you want to not only listen to music,

  • but you could also run a USB cable out

  • through the little hole on the top, and charge your phone.

  • Well, this isn't good.

  • Our Doogee phone, after being plugged in for twenty minutes,

  • still does absolutely nothing besides bootloop.

  • Alright, so I've connected the Trakk's to my phone,

  • and the first thing I noticed is it's got this cool LED.

  • What I've also noticed is that it just kind of hums.

  • Wait.

  • Talk, talk.

  • What, wait?

  • This is a speaker.

  • Wait, hold on.

  • Talk, talk, one two, one two.

  • Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • Why is this a thing?

  • Okay, so that's what the buzzing noise was.

  • I thought that was really bizarre.

  • There's also some other things.

  • Like, it can control the light.

  • So, you just turn it on and off with this little controller.

  • ("Black SpiderMan" by Logic)

  • So, it sounds great.

  • Actually, it doesn't sound that bad.

  • The real problem though is that,

  • how do you not look like the biggest dork in the world

  • with one of these on your back?

  • Although, I guess I'm one to talk right now, aren't I.

  • (laughs)

  • ("AlttA" by 20syl and Mr. J. Medeiros)

  • Okay, I think my new problem with this is

  • that while it sounds decent,

  • it sounds like any kind of fairly cheap Bluetooth speaker.

  • I don't hate it.

  • I don't love it though.

  • It's weird.

  • We'll call it weird.

  • Alright, what do we got next?

  • Oh, hey, this doesn't look like total garbage.

  • With 20.1 mega pixels, 5 times optical zoom,

  • a 26 millimeter wide angle lens,

  • and HD Movie 720p.

  • This, well, obviously, it's not going to be great.

  • What did you say, it was 80 bucks?

  • - [Man] 80.

  • - 80 bucks.

  • Yeah, that's actually not gonna be crazy.

  • Alright.

  • Oh, okay, that looks like it's straight out of 2007.

  • Throw an SD card in here

  • and it actually isn't super terrible looking.

  • It makes these wonderful noises.

  • (camera beeps)

  • To be fair, we're getting

  • a 20 mega pixel sensor, 720p video.

  • It might not be that bad.

  • Let's see here.

  • Ooh, that takes awhile.

  • Oh, that is incredibly soft.

  • Let's try some video.

  • We are now recording 720p video,

  • so let's just kind of see.

  • It actually, considering that we look at all kinds of

  • terrible phones, this does actually not look that bad.

  • If it comes in focus.

  • Dude, the stabilization on this is actually kind of crazy.

  • I mean, I'm like shaking the camera around a little bit,

  • and it looks a little blurry,

  • but it's actually not that bad.

  • Is this going to be as good as say a decent smartphone?

  • Well, in some ways it actually might be on par.

  • Especially considering that you have that zoom lens.

  • But, I wouldn't exactly go throw your brand new

  • Galaxy S9 out the window.

  • You actually got something that's reasonable, Ken.

  • This is actually something that people might want to buy.

  • I don't know what to say.

  • What is this?

  • Oh, it's so heavy.

  • Oh!

  • Why is this so heavy?

  • (laughs)

  • What is in here?

  • Oh, yep.

  • (laughs)

  • Is this a cannon ball?

  • Oh, why is it so oily?

  • Ken, is this a giant bearing?

  • What?!

  • It's completely coated in oil.

  • I mean, this is cool, but why?

  • What is it?

  • - [Man] It's a bearing.

  • - It's just a bearing, that's it?

  • It's just a giant bearing that weighs like 20 pounds.

  • Oh, it's so coated in oil.

  • And you bought it anyway?

  • Of course you did.

  • Um, how is this tech?

Hey guys, this is Austin.
