    What you're hearing on those microphones is the LEDs interfering with the actual microphone. I recognize that space-alien communication from when I got my high-gain guitar pickups too close to my LED keyboard, and it made that sound but with a lot more distortion. Unshielded cabling "picks it up" as well, since the slight "bzzt bzzt" of LEDs being powered on can actually produce a lot of audio interference.

    • @jesuschrist711
      @jesuschrist711 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@jesuschrist711 different computers deal with electric noise differently. Even if the machines are supposedly completely identical (in components and specs and so on) there will always be a slight difference in their noise levels. Even plugging a computer into a different outlet can change how much audible noise you get

    • @RaunienTheFirst
      @RaunienTheFirst ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@jesuschrist711 oh yeah, it'll be picking up all kinds of interference. If I plug my headphones into the analogue jack instead of the USB, I get a low level of noise. More if I've got a Bluetooth adaptor nearby. My wah pedal can pick up radio stations. That microphone is probably just *completely* unshielded, so although most of the noise is coming from its own internals, it'll be picking up a fair amount from the environment, too. If he surrounded it with foil and did another test we could isolate the noise from the microphone itself.

      @RaunienTheFirst ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@BenjaminGoose how? You're not wiring up the foil to the mic. Aluminium foil very effectively stops electromagnetic radiation. You can make your WiFi signal stronger but more directional by placing some foil in the direction you don't want the signal to go. I have lined my wallet with foil and it successfully stops contactless communications with my card until I open my wallet. Surrounding the device with foil will block incoming electrical noise from any source that isn't directly wired up to it. You're essentially putting it in a makeshift Faraday cage.

      I had a old pc that i pluged a pair of ear bud headphones into the line out jack I had to have the volume on the pc and the media player turned down as low as they could go so I could listen to it because the line out jack had a lot of power there was a lot of digital interference in the background when you scrolled through a web page I could hear the digital noise the cpu was making

    I know why they have that little keyboard for so cheap! Those were originally designed to slot into a specialized carrying case for specific tablets. If I'm right the keyboard should have a couple of magnets underneath which were used to lock it into the case. I'm guessing supply outpaced demand on the cases so the manufacturer salvaged the keyboards and sold them in bulk to poundland, The model I had for my Windows 8 tablet did the job and the battery life was impressive. I guess it's not horrible that it's finding its way to an end user now as opposed to immediately being shipped to the landfill.

    That microphone could be a chance for a new collab with bigclive.
    You could get to the bottom with the interference and provide a solution on how to fix it for any other customers who bought it.

    I did previously pick up those vido Bluetooth earbuds (the small black ones) based on your previous tech vid. They're pretty decent. A couple of downsides I noticed is that they can take a while to connect to bluetooth. And the microphone isn't fantastic for calls. As a cheap set of going to and from work ear buds they do the job and have been used almost daily for well over a year now. The battery still holds up on them and I get a minimum of 3 days of use (using them roughly for 4 hours a day) without the need to recharge them

      I have the same and mine connect in about 5-15 seconds- my old headphones took around 10 minutes, if they connected at all.

    Hey Ashens! Love your videos, just wanted to point out that in the spanish part of the first headphones box it says Auriculares Inalambricos, which means that these should be wireless lmao.
    CHeers from Argentina mate!

    I got that exact keyboard in a bundle with my tablet case. They don't have a slot because they're magnetic and you're supposed to stick them to the tablet case. The keyboard itself is fine though, it does the job in the situations where you want your tablet to have a keyboard.

    These "premium" headphones apparently translate to "bezprzewodowe" in Polish and "inalámbrico" in Spanish, which actually means "wireless". So we've been lied to in three languages

    Based on the recc from the last video, I replaced my terrible broken painful to wear over the ear Bluetooth headphones from about 7 years ago with the Viidio little rechargeable in ear Bluetooth headphones and they've been wonderful. They go out of sync with each other occasionally but that's it. Amazing charge, easy to use, as comfortable as I can find in ear things, great sound- they even look nice. I'm chuffed Stuart brought my attention to them, I never would have thought to try them otherwise.

    Picked up a set of cheap USB-C Viido earphones in Poundland while travelling after forgetting my good earphones and not being able to face sitting for hours on a train in silence. Tried them while walking towards the station and they were so bad that I immediately stopped, turned around, ran to the nearest Argos and spent an unreasonable amount of money on a set of new bluetooth earphones. It's telling that they were so bad that I couldn't even bare the thought of 5 hours of using them. I've heard better music fidelity from those horn style PA speakers!

    That first set of headphones was MONO as well judging by the plug, I don't even remember the last time I saw one of those

    I suffered the background noise on my USB audio devices too. I found out it is ground loop issues caused by various devices plugged into USB + a really bad unshielded 5V supply from the PC but when I bought a gaming motherboard it came with 2 shielded isolated 5v Supply USB ports designed for audio use specifically, and has zero noise on any mic/headphones used on them :) Nice :) The biggest source of interference is from using mice on the same shared ports as audio equipment. You move the mouse, you hear the noise change with it over the audio device. A right pain the the bottom.😖😖

    That keyboard is an incredibly common cheap design that's resold by many ISVs. I have one which refuses to stay paired, and you have to remember to turn it off or else the battery runs down overnight. More trouble than it's worth, IMO.
