To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
hey dankpods i don’t got much to say except have a great day so many people care about you so never leave us keep doing what you love Edit: i don’t like doing this but thank you all for the likes and to dankpods himself for the heart love you all and stay safe, oh wait that deletes it oops
Man after watching a few of your videos I just automatically start vibing and dancing around in my chair to that elevator music you use for testing the headphones, it grows on you
Mate, this is exactly what I needed. I know friends who love music, and aren't audiophiles (ones even a drummer like you). I hope to be the bug that bites for Christmas
The picture quality really increased with the 12! Also, im in heaven with these headphone videos. It's my humor + audiophile nerdy stuff + aussie = godlike videos!
Also I'm listening to these videos with my customised Beyerdynamic custom one pro plus. They got the DT770 velour pads which made them so much more open even though they're closed backs. They also lost most of their bass so they're great for critical listening now. And they're sparkly. Real sparkly! The headphone comparisons are so much fun to listen to with them. So really, just keep it up mate! The headphone videos, the iPod videos and whatever you come up with.
@@dpage446 if you don't mind cheaping on the quality of the materials, koss ksc75 (which are the same drivers as the porta pro but with an on-ear clip) have amazing drivers and they are crazy moddable. they basically a staple of cheap headphones since their invention in the 80's and they are around 15-20 bucks
@@dpage446 koss portapros? they're on sale right now so it's within budget, but at normal price it's still worth saving up for. if not on sale, sportapro is literally the same driver, just with less metal in the headband.
@@xureality portapro are amazing! I have 3 pairs of them in my drawer which I stockpiled in case I would forget my daily drivers somewhere else at their price they are literally disposable. sounding really colorful (what dank calls "fun") and if something happens to them, well that suck, but it's not your 300$ drivers I would personally prefer the 75 over sportapro. the band of the sportapro is simply way to flimsy and feels terrible. it feels like a slightly too powerful of a touch would break them apart
I was actually thinking pledging on patreon but felt bad about potentially just pledging on and off for all the bonus videos, your blessing just makes me not want to unpledge hahaha
I've had mine for a month now. I use them every day and I like them that much I actually forgot where my Bose QC35II were....like literally forgot where I put them. Ends up they were under my bed....and they are still there.
@@cherrypepsi2815 it's quite good, but it took me a while to get used to it. It made me dizzy and feel motion sick. It's not a problem with the headphones, it's a problem with me. 1 in 10 people have problems with the noise cancelling apparently. I only used it in certain environments. Most of the time I have it turned off for general listening as I think it affects the sound quality. (That could just me me tho) Maybe Mr Dankpods can confirm this for us? As far as sound quality and sound stage.....I actually now prefer the Samson's. Like it's been mentioned, for the price you can't go wrong. Unless you really really need noise cancelling, get yourself a set or SR850....you won't be disappointed.
Just a tip as a BTR5 owner, if you want to run HD600s, run this off the 2.5 port, as it has access to much more precise power delivery. Also don't forget to enter the impedance and sensitivity in the BTR5's settings to maximize your experience!!
The Meze Neo 99s are very, very good. I own a pair and have changed the ear pads to microfibre, because I found the originals a little sweaty for long wearing. Highly recommended.
I got my hands on the Taotronics as soon as I could after seeing the Samsung Beans video, and honestly it was the best purchase for wireless headphones I’ve made so far, other than the Hyper X Cloud 2s for gaming on my computer. I love listening to music, and the Taotronics have provided some of the clearest listening experiences I’ve had to date!
KZ ZS10 has been my daily driver for 3 years, just had to replace the wires about 8 times for about $3 each. Can't recommend it enough, especially for people who usually breaks their earphone cables.
@@musstta01 I never broke a cable on any of my 6 pairs of KZ and 3 other Chi-Fi IEMs... Just take good care of your stuff and you'll be fine. Don't roll it up in a ball and put it in your pockets. Instead, roll the cable between your fingers and buy a small case to put them inside, or at least a pouch.
@@DevilDead13820 I take good care of my earphones, I got a bit surprised by someone having to change the cable 8 times so I was wondering if I should've gotten an extra cable too
I got a pair of KZ ZSTs after years of breaking new pairs of wired earphones every couple of months (technology hates me), those things lasted almost two years of daily use, and I used them a lot more every day than any previous pairs.
@@musstta01 Yeah I literally use it everywhere I go, even when sleeping. The cable usually breaks when I'm rolling around in my sleep lol but I can't help it because I have comorbid insomnia and I use the KZs to isolate noise and play background audio to help me sleep.
your explanations of sound and the visual representations now show me why i appreciate my guitar amplifier settings, where its just treble and bass, no mid
Got some Taotronics of the 53 variety. The 79s had some issues and were out of stock when I tried to buy some new ones. Definitely worth it for the price
as someone who got the samsons, the KZ's, and the BTR5 based on dank's recommendations, i can say they are all an absolute bargain for how good they sound. i also watched this video with my samsons on, which gave me the interesting experience of listening to samsons through my samsons
I own that exact pair of KZ's and oh, they are the best pair of earbuds I've ever had. They are comfortable as hell, easy to drive, and their sound is so clear. At times, I even prefer them over my Sony's WH-1000XM3's just because of the crystal clear sound they put out for their small size.
This is the first time watching your videos with headphones on. I DIDN'T KNOW BACKROUND MUSIC COULD BE SO NICE!! I was IMMEDIATELY blown away at how good the backround music sounded. My ears and I thank you 😌
Grado recently Discontinued their SR(n)e line. It is now the SR(n)X line. Supposedly changed out the padding, cable, and updated the drivers to be more in line with the Hemps. I got me a pair of SR60x's on the way, super excited to try them

The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
6:11 listening to the sammies through my own pair of sammies LMAO
Is it simmilar tho
@@LoreLibrary-Official not really
Same
I'm listening thru some 6yr old Xqisit BH100s
Me too 😂
He uses a paper and editing for the graph, not his iPad...... I've got a bad feeling about the iPad!
Why iPad didn’t get used? Maybe battery died an didn’t want to charge it?
@@justexisting8457 oh the ipad works he just uses it as a stand lmao
@@georgepacific3077 but he used to use it for the graph, even in his most recent videos, but in this one he didn't...
@@quandaledingle1641 I am worried about it too. In his last video about the Grados there was a glare on it, and I hope it's just that.
It was just to demonstrate the "vee shape." I don't think you could go on things and look up "vee sound" and find the graph
Me: I'm tired, ima sleep
Dankpod: *uploads*
Me: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!
I CAN RELATE
I've woken back up
These stories being told during the mic tests are honestly gold
I was genuinely scared at me thinking he was about to recommend the samsung beans
same
I never fear this mans' recommendations, he tells you what to expect, and it holds true. I just bought a pair of Grado SR80x's, worth every penny.
hey dankpods i don’t got much to say except have a great day so many people care about you so never leave us keep doing what you love Edit: i don’t like doing this but thank you all for the likes and to dankpods himself for the heart love you all and stay safe, oh wait that deletes it oops
i have never seen such energetic and happy near 50 years old man in my life. Keep it up dude
idk think he's 60 mate
Man after watching a few of your videos I just automatically start vibing and dancing around in my chair to that elevator music you use for testing the headphones, it grows on you
I don't know if this is still relevant or not, but the track is called "Walk through the park" by TrackTribe.
hm, i pick the ones which are easy to drive but still 'stress testing' audio equipments
I love how when he is testing the audio of the mics he just starts talking about some random stuff 🤣🤣🤣
Mate, this is exactly what I needed. I know friends who love music, and aren't audiophiles (ones even a drummer like you). I hope to be the bug that bites for Christmas
"One dollar, binge my videos and then cancel."
But I like it here...
4:00 just immediately reminded me of ps3/xbox 360 modern warfare lobbies 😂
FEELS MATE
Girlfriend is a massive music head and was out of ideas for gifts, thanks for the ideas man!
I ship dank with the “lovely barista” that brings him his coffee that he let try the bose frames
Why?
@@W3Rn1ckz why not?
@@angrymom1515 Isn't he a real person?
@@W3Rn1ckz writing fanfic about real people is weird, thinking two people should be cute in a relationship isn’t
I ship dank and the sexy speaker
video on monday? u really made my whole week!
I absolutely love the fake conversations you do for the microphone tests. They make me laugh every time.
When did he ever say that they weren’t real
Fake?
The picture quality really increased with the 12!
Also, im in heaven with these headphone videos.
It's my humor + audiophile nerdy stuff + aussie = godlike videos!
Also I'm listening to these videos with my customised Beyerdynamic custom one pro plus. They got the DT770 velour pads which made them so much more open even though they're closed backs. They also lost most of their bass so they're great for critical listening now. And they're sparkly. Real sparkly!
The headphone comparisons are so much fun to listen to with them.
So really, just keep it up mate! The headphone videos, the iPod videos and whatever you come up with.
Dank: these are only 32...
Me: YES...
Dank: ohms, they’re actually like 500 lol
If you're looking for good headphones for 32 bucks then
let me know if you find some anytime
@@dpage446 if you don't mind cheaping on the quality of the materials, koss ksc75 (which are the same drivers as the porta pro but with an on-ear clip) have amazing drivers and they are crazy moddable. they basically a staple of cheap headphones since their invention in the 80's
and they are around 15-20 bucks
@@dpage446 koss portapros? they're on sale right now so it's within budget, but at normal price it's still worth saving up for.
if not on sale, sportapro is literally the same driver, just with less metal in the headband.
@@xureality portapro are amazing! I have 3 pairs of them in my drawer which I stockpiled in case I would forget my daily drivers somewhere else
at their price they are literally disposable. sounding really colorful (what dank calls "fun") and if something happens to them, well that suck, but it's not your 300$ drivers
I would personally prefer the 75 over sportapro. the band of the sportapro is simply way to flimsy and feels terrible. it feels like a slightly too powerful of a touch would break them apart
i wish dankpod would review portapros
That kz microphone is absolutely mind blowing
It's actually good
I think this video is the one I want to see a return of the most
That moment when the microphone that comes with 30$ in-ears sounds better than most gaming headsets ...
I bought a 15$ mic just because it looks like one of those old metallic stereotypical radio host mics. It sounds better than any gaming headset
@@incog0956 I kinda doubt it
I mean, kz in ears are somehow godlike
@@marcusborderlands6177 straight up I just bought myself some KZ Z10 Pro for Christmas lol
@@musstta01 dude same I love myself and wanted them lol
I was actually thinking pledging on patreon but felt bad about potentially just pledging on and off for all the bonus videos, your blessing just makes me not want to unpledge hahaha
I bought a pair Samson SR850 back in June, after you recommended them; I've been enjoying them ever since
I've had mine for a month now. I use them every day and I like them that much I actually forgot where my Bose QC35II were....like literally forgot where I put them.
Ends up they were under my bed....and they are still there.
@@Mardy72 yoo how good is the gc35II noise canceling? I've been looking at them but nobody really explains how good it is
@@cherrypepsi2815 it's quite good, but it took me a while to get used to it. It made me dizzy and feel motion sick. It's not a problem with the headphones, it's a problem with me. 1 in 10 people have problems with the noise cancelling apparently.
I only used it in certain environments. Most of the time I have it turned off for general listening as I think it affects the sound quality. (That could just me me tho)
Maybe Mr Dankpods can confirm this for us?
As far as sound quality and sound stage.....I actually now prefer the Samson's. Like it's been mentioned, for the price you can't go wrong. Unless you really really need noise cancelling, get yourself a set or SR850....you won't be disappointed.
@@Mardy72 ah, thanks bro
Just a tip as a BTR5 owner, if you want to run HD600s, run this off the 2.5 port, as it has access to much more precise power delivery. Also don't forget to enter the impedance and sensitivity in the BTR5's settings to maximize your experience!!
This man convinced me to buy the Sammys and the Grados. Never regretted it.
Try some koss kph30i’s or ksc75’s 👍
"Retail workers are now frowning rn"
bruh, as a Retail worker i ain't frowning, i already happy right now
Thanks for taking one for us other workers.
What an underrated legend this guy is
The Meze Neo 99s are very, very good. I own a pair and have changed the ear pads to microfibre, because I found the originals a little sweaty for long wearing. Highly recommended.
I just got a pair too, and oh my god. No buyers remorse
Got the Taotronics after your raycon video, can confirm, excellent. Comfy, great battery life, usb c charging is the best feature.
Never before have I clicked so fast for a hobby I can barely afford.
Same
Key word: Barely.
Save up, and get some of the cheap stuff like the KZ, or keep saving(maybe ask some friends for Christmas) and get the Fiio DAC
@@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275 Well you see, I had just went up and bought a FiiO DAC.
I got my hands on the Taotronics as soon as I could after seeing the Samsung Beans video, and honestly it was the best purchase for wireless headphones I’ve made so far, other than the Hyper X Cloud 2s for gaming on my computer. I love listening to music, and the Taotronics have provided some of the clearest listening experiences I’ve had to date!
The fact that Grado put you on their website shows that they deserve our money... and that they should make some DankPods LE headphones 👀
This guy is arguably my favorite human being alive.
KZ ZS10 has been my daily driver for 3 years, just had to replace the wires about 8 times for about $3 each. Can't recommend it enough, especially for people who usually breaks their earphone cables.
8 times!? I just got myself a pair of ZS10 Pros, does the cable break that easily?
@@musstta01 I never broke a cable on any of my 6 pairs of KZ and 3 other Chi-Fi IEMs...
Just take good care of your stuff and you'll be fine. Don't roll it up in a ball and put it in your pockets. Instead, roll the cable between your fingers and buy a small case to put them inside, or at least a pouch.
@@DevilDead13820 I take good care of my earphones, I got a bit surprised by someone having to change the cable 8 times so I was wondering if I should've gotten an extra cable too
I got a pair of KZ ZSTs after years of breaking new pairs of wired earphones every couple of months (technology hates me), those things lasted almost two years of daily use, and I used them a lot more every day than any previous pairs.
@@musstta01 Yeah I literally use it everywhere I go, even when sleeping. The cable usually breaks when I'm rolling around in my sleep lol but I can't help it because I have comorbid insomnia and I use the KZs to isolate noise and play background audio to help me sleep.
your explanations of sound and the visual representations now show me why i appreciate my guitar amplifier settings, where its just treble and bass, no mid
The fact that a SEGA Saturn has pride of place under DankPods' TV has warmed my heart
1:38 my man here watching Techmoan like the true man of culture he is!
Im not the only one that noticed!
Thanks danky, was looking for a good cheap pair of wireless earbuds just ordered myself a pair of those taotronics
do you like them?
@@BobbyMento11111 Yeah they are great
@@Bullets990 thanks for the reply!
Got some Taotronics of the 53 variety. The 79s had some issues and were out of stock when I tried to buy some new ones. Definitely worth it for the price
When companies start putting your review on their webpage, you know you've made it. Made me laugh so hard I scared the cat off my lap!
Wait wait wait there's no way the KZ microphone was THAT good. That was REALLY good for an earbuds mic
Yes is good mic, actually I used them to take classes online and damn my audio always was the best in the classroom 🙃 better than the teacher
I mean, considering the price point its actually worth it for the mic itself
Too bad, it's attached to a crappy cable.
My friends down discord used to compliment me on my KZ mic all the time it was strange to them for my voice to sound so clear
as someone who got the samsons, the KZ's, and the BTR5 based on dank's recommendations, i can say they are all an absolute bargain for how good they sound.
i also watched this video with my samsons on, which gave me the interesting experience of listening to samsons through my samsons
I own that exact pair of KZ's and oh, they are the best pair of earbuds I've ever had. They are comfortable as hell, easy to drive, and their sound is so clear. At times, I even prefer them over my Sony's WH-1000XM3's just because of the crystal clear sound they put out for their small size.
Sam-ception
his aussie accent make me smile everytime. hey dankpods, try the Venture Electronics - Monk plus. "open back" earbuds.
On the way 👌
They're funny cheap, and to my opinion are just Gareattt
I was gonna comment that lol
It's gonna be the beans again
mine stopped working pretty fast and they were kinda uncomfortable
Just want to give props to this dude with the Kz Es4, everything is just so good in it!
10:46 - I finally know what to get Dank for Christm-never mind.
what would it hurt to get 1 more?
I work in radio on good coast. And I tell our new employees to literally use your channel as study. Awesome review as always man.
The secret is to start fights with inanimate objects 👌
Man you sold that Patreon so good, I should just gift a $1 to my friends to watch your content
This is the first time watching your videos with headphones on. I DIDN'T KNOW BACKROUND MUSIC COULD BE SO NICE!! I was IMMEDIATELY blown away at how good the backround music sounded. My ears and I thank you 😌
hm
My dad worked for Mariah as her production manager for a few years, her music haunts him to this day
I will never not love the Patented Dankpods Microphone Stories™
every time dankpods shows how his headphones sound and im listening through my phone speakers:
*where difference*
Grado recently Discontinued their SR(n)e line. It is now the SR(n)X line. Supposedly changed out the padding, cable, and updated the drivers to be more in line with the Hemps. I got me a pair of SR60x's on the way, super excited to try them
Secretly, Dank bought the whole stock of Grado‘s before releasing his video on them and now operates as the world‘s #1 Grado Retailer😂
