100K Q&A / AMA...I NEED YOUR HELP! 🙏🏼 Who is InsideTech...really? 🤔

So the Earbuds Awards 2024 video is dropping later today...you don't wanna miss it! But after that i'm planning to post a one-off "Ask Me Anything" / Q&A video to celebrate reaching 100K subscribers 🥳 I want an opportunity to thank you all properly for supporting the channel over the years. But I also realised that, especially since i'm not on camera much...most of you really don't know anything about me at all! So I thought, to mix things up, it might be fun to have you all ask me whatever questions you like. I'll make a reaction video and answer as many as I can! What do you reckon?

But obviously I need your help for this 😬 I'll only make this if it's something people would genuinely want...it doesn't work without you! So if you do...PLEASE respond to this post with anything you'd like to ask me! It doesn't have to be about tech either...it can be literally anything! And (as long as it's appropriate 😅) i'll answer as many as I can completely honestly. I think i'll send a little something to my favourite comment as well...why not.

Looking forward to this being either a super interesting experiment...or an embarrassing flop 😄

GET COMMENTING! 👊🏼 

We've passed 100,000 subscribers! 🥳🎈🎉

I (and Lilly) just want say a massive THANK YOU! to each and every one of you. I started this channel as a little hobby but quickly fell in love with making videos. That wouldn't have happened without you, it could've been a very different story. I never in my wildest dreams could've predicted we'd be here now. I still remember reaching 100 subscribers and was absolutely blown away! I'm grateful that anyone would even care enough to watch one of my videos, let alone subscribe to see more. I can't lie you to though, as we started getting closer to that 100k milestone...a big part of me really hoped we'd achieve it. It did become a personal goal of mine, and i'm absolutely over the moon to have reached it!

Of course none of this would've been possible without all of you. This is not my achievement at all really, it's yours. And I can't thank you enough. It feels amazing to see this community we've built together, to read your lovely comments and feel like the hard work was worth it. I don't always feel deserving of the kindness so many of you show, but i'll certainly never stop feeling grateful for it! A LOT of time and effort goes into making these videos and, as someone commented recently, I might not be the first to post. But I do try create something meaningful and well-researched...ultimately just something that you all might find useful. That's the ultimate goal. But it's all of you that drive me forward and inspire me to keep going. The feedback so far has been amazing, and I appreciate all of your patience and kindness you've shown the channel over the years. Some of you have even been here with me since the start! 

So to every single person who's ever watched, liked or commented...thank you. Those little things genuinely make the world of difference 💚 

Here's to all of you and to many more years of creating content! I'll see you all in the next one 🥳

In the box:
- Soundpeats Space headphones, USB-A to C charging cable, Aux cable, User guide

Design
Graphite/dark grey plastic build with metallic copper/rose gold accents. The lighter grey fabric headband + grey padding adds some unique contrast. Headphones are foldable and rotate flat in one direction. Build is basic but quality seems reasonable for the price - no creaking in the headband. The lack of a carrying case was disappointing.

Comfort
Relatively lightweight (264 g) which helps massively with comfort. Padding is very soft, though not especially thick. Ear cups also not especially deep, so you don’t have loads of room for your ears/to prevent ear warming. Clamping force is on the lighter side of average, so overall comfort levels are pretty good. I could wear these for a few hours with no problems.

Controls
Cheap, plastic button controls but they are tactile and easy to distinguish. Respond very quickly when pressed. No customisation, but they are intuitive and have good range of gestures. Sadly no wearing detection.

ANC/Transparency
ANC is average. Can hear the difference compared to ‘off’ mode, so it is helping reduce the noise in your environment. But there are competitors in this price bracket that offer stronger noise cancelling performance. Transparency is quite clear and only has a faint hiss. Slightly amplifies the volume too. No wind noise reduction - may want to turn off ANC in those conditions.  

Mic quality
Fairly good, not amazing. They do a pretty good job of isolating your voice in noisy environments, though it may also distort/muffle your voice slightly. Should be plenty good enough in most situations and mic quality is well above average for the price.

Battery
Insane 123 hours of playback! Drops to 60 h with ANC, but still well above the vast majority of competitors (including Soundcore). 12 h listening from 10 min fast charge.

Connectivity
Bluetooth 5.3, SBC/AAC. So no high-res codecs (need the aux cable for high-res listening), but I really don’t think this matters in a pair of budget headphones like this. Multipoint is instant switching. Game mode also very effective. You are able to use these passively with a cable when the battery runs out, which is great, but you can’t use bluetooth whilst they are charging (only aux). 

App
Soundpeats’ app is still very basic and can be prone to connection issues. You can only track battery levels, adjust the volume/EQ, or toggle the ANC mode/game mode/multipoint. Very light on additional features. 

Sound
Really good for the price. Slightly warm, consumer-friendly tuning by default. Highs rolled off quite substantially - no harsh or piercing sibilance, relaxing overall tone. I could max out the treble with custom EQ and still comfortably listen. Lacking brightness and detail in the treble for me. Mid range is clean and vocals come through prominently. Bass is still well controlled and not overly boomy. Weirdly, in the ‘normal’ ANC mode the low end is muddied - ANC or transparency modes sound better. Can crank the volume up to uncomfortable levels where you will hear some distortion, but I’d expect the volume range to be plenty for most people. Not be the very best sounding headphones at this price point, but still offer great sound value. 

Sound leakage isn’t the best. Others will be able to hear your music at louder volumes. 

Summary
Overall, certainly a strong contender in the sub-$100 price category and offer really good value for money. Strong all-rounder and have the USP of 123 h battery. Advantage of Soundpeats is that they frequently (and quickly) receive pretty big discounts on Amazon. So even if they don’t top the list for ‘best under $100’, may very soon be one of the very best value wireless headphones on the market. 

Huge discount right now on Amazon that I think is live for 48 hours - so get in quick if you want a pair of these. 
If you use my Amazon Associate link it's exactly the same price for you, but I may earn a small commission if you buy through the link :) 

So i've just been finishing up my Samsung Galaxy S24 series in-depth reviews (all 3 models), including all of the camera comparisons. But since Samsung has announced a major camera update for some time in February...would you rather I wait for that and get photo comparisons AFTER the update? It would mean delaying the reviews for probably another week or two,  it depends when the update drops, but it's likely to be the last major camera update for a while so it could be worth waiting for. Waiting would likely give you a more accurate review of what people can expect going forwards and fix some of those early bugs, but i'm happy to do whatever you all prefer! 

Creative Aurvana Ace 2 Review 🎧🔥 - The World’s First xMEMS Driver Earbuds!

Creative has slowly been improving their earbud offerings over the years. I’ve got a review of their Creative Air earbuds on the channel and they were a pretty decent option at the time. But the rest of the industry moved on rapidly and better alternatives quickly arrived. However, they’ve reached new levels entirely with the new Aurvana Ace 2. For full disclosure: Creative sent these over to me (I asked for them to test as a candidate for the upcoming earbuds awards…results coming soon!). They haven’t asked or paid for a review though - I’m only posting my thoughts here to share with you because I think people might be interested in the 1st xMEMS earbuds to hit the market.

I’ve been especially excited to test these out since this technology might be the future for true wireless earbuds. The Ace 2 are a huge upgrade from their predecessors, boast a stellar spec sheet and at less than $150…they undercut most of their flagship competitors for price. Here’s what I thought of them:

Spec list:
🟠 10 mm dynamic / xMEMs solid state drivers
🟠 High-Res Audio with Snapdragon Sound
🟠 Adaptive Hybrid ANC / Ambient mode
🟠 Lightweight, comfortable design (4.7 g earbuds)
🟠 Bluetooth 5.3 / LE, multipoint
🟠 SBC / AAC / LC3 / aptX Adaptive / aptX Lossless, 
🟠 6 h / 24 h battery (ANC off), USB-C + wireless charging
🟠 Triple mic setup - excellent call quality
🟠 IPX5 water resistance
🟠 Touch controls (customisable)
🟠 Creative app support ✔︎
🟠 $149.99 / £164.99

In the box:
- Earbuds + charging case
- S, M, L eartips
- Short USB-A to C charging cable
- Quick start guide


Design
First of all there’s a really interesting and unique translucent black/copper design. It’s Creative Aurvana Ace meets Nothing (ear) - they look fantastic. The copper accents contrast beautifully against the matt black/translucent black body. This applies to the charging case too, and it’s far more interesting seeing the magnets and the wireless charging coil inside the case. The case is small and compact (comfortably fits in a pocket) and features a pairing button, battery LED and a loop hole for a lanyard. The build quality here is also good, albeit not outstanding. The earbuds come with an IPX5 protection too, so they’ll withstand a heavy downpour of rain, but don’t submerge them underwater. 

Comfort/fit
The ergonomics are good, rather AirPods-esque and they fit my ears comfortably and securely. It’s definitely a pair I could run with or wear for hours at a time. My only small complaint would be that you only get small, medium and large ear tips in the box. One of those will fit the vast majority of people but I always prefer when you get at least an XS and an XL option as well. The large tips create a pretty tight acoustic seal for me though. 

Controls 
The controls are perhaps the weak aspect of the earbuds for a few of reasons: the first is that there can be a small delay between tapping and the command actually working. You only get audible feedback once the command is initiated (not immediately when you actually tap), so sometimes you’re left wondering for a moment if you’ve successfully tapped or not. You need to learn to tap towards the top of the stem to hit the sensitive spot as well, and there’s no option for a single tap. You get good customisation over the double and triple tap gestures, but the long press can only be volume control when music is playing. When it’s not, a long press will power the earbuds off. Some people like being able to manually turn off the earbuds without the case (with most earbuds you can’t). But the gesture layout can be a bit confusing, you can’t fit all the useful gestures on at once and there’s also no wearing detection either - which is a shame. Now that so many earbuds include auto pause/play as standard, I did find myself missing it here.

App
Creative’s app is still very basic and aesthetically…it hasn’t moved far along at all from the primitive first edition when the app first launched. You sometimes run into connection issues with the app, particularly when using multipoint and connecting to a second device, but it’s feature-light nature means you’ll hopefully not need to return to the app too much after the first time. You can track battery levels, adjust your EQ settings (including a 10-band custom EQ), select the ANC mode, toggle voice prompts and toggle the low latency game mode. 

ANC / Ambient
Starting with the ambient (transparency) mode, you get a pretty clear amplification of your surroundings with only a faint hiss to accompany it. It’s not the clearest in the world and there’s no adjustment for it, but it works well. The ANC was less impressive, but that’s not to say it’s bad. It is quite effective and you can hear a noticeable reduction in the surrounding noise (compared to off mode), but these sit outside the top 30 for ANC performance. The competition is strong , and the performance overall is only average. It still works, and you can hear the difference clearly, I just wanted to give you some context. The ANC is also adaptive only, so you can’t set a custom level yourself. Fortunately I heard no EQ shifting with my music when changing between these modes.

Connectivity
And then we get to the good bit: connectivity. There’s bluetooth 5.3 and LE support, for starters, so you get great stability, range and power efficiency. These also support Auracast broadcast mode (I can’t wait until that really takes off and we can start tapping into public broadcasts and sharing audio more easily). But also a fantastic codec selection that includes LC3, aptX Adaptive and even aptX Lossless (thanks to Snapdragon Sound). You get very low latency already, especially with the low latency mode, but on a Snapdragon Sound-supported device you can truly appreciate ultra-low latency - great for gamers. Just remember how few phones actually support aptX Lossless (iPhone, Galaxy and Pixel owners are out, for starters). Multipoint is supported too (though not instant switching / hijacking). I’ve had a couple of issues re-connecting to devices (especially both multipoint devices) automatically, and as I said, with the companion app as well. But overall these are flagship-level connectivity specs. 

Battery
Battery life is 6 hours per charge and up to 24 hours in total with the charging case - 6 hours was pretty accurate from my testing. You can fast charge for 10 minutes to get an hour of playback. You’ll get slightly less if using ANC, so battery life overall is fine but nothing special. The case supports convenient wireless charging though which is nice. One slightly annoying thing for me was leaving the earbuds out for hours, no music playing, and coming back to find them still powered on and connected. An auto power off feature should come as standard with earbuds now.

Mic quality
The single most impressive aspect was the mic quality. Mic quality is improving faster than any other aspect of true wireless earbuds at the moment, and the voice isolation from background noise excellent here. These have even broken into my current top 5 for phone calls (from a list of over 100 earbuds). 

Sound
The sound quality is going to get most of the hype because of the new xMEMS tech, and I will say that these are (by far) Creative’s best sounding earbuds yet. But just like a high-res codec doesn’t guarantee an earbud will sound good, nor does a fancy new (potentially trend-setting) driver technology promise the higher precision it’s capable of. 

Starting with the good news though: the clarity is great and far higher than I’ve experienced from any Creative earbuds in the past. There’s a lot more depth to your music, it sounds more expansive with deeper, punchier bass but also more detailed and crisp treble. It’s a really lively and energetic overall sound where vocals in particular shine. I did make a couple of EQ tweaks myself to enhance the treble further and also bring down some slightly boosted frequencies in the lower-mid bass region - but in general they sound pretty good straight out of the box. I liked that I could crank up the treble without it becoming harsh or piercing (but conversely you’ll also get sharper, more detailed highs from the market leaders). Thankfully they still sound pretty much just as impressive paired with an iPhone or other android phones that don’t support the higher res codecs (like Samsung phones) - they don’t rely on Snapdragon Sound to sound good.

They definitely sound really good…but I’ve still got them ranked just outside of the top 25 for sound quality. Now that is an extremely competitive list, and these are cheaper than a lot of those too, but I just don’t want people to be fooled by the marketing and have disproportionate expectations with these. You get the sense that the xMEMS drivers are responsible for the improvement in the treble frequencies here, but I still think we’ll see other competitors truly take sound quality (and this technology) to the next level. 


Overall I was pleasantly surprised with how good the overall performance was - a huge improvement from previous Creative models. It was a little sad to see them falling behind the competition before, but they’ve bounced back strong with the Aurvana Ace 2. The competition remains fierce, but you get a really well-rounded package for a reasonable $150 price tag. Perhaps for the design alone, these are worth checking out! 

New EarFun Air 2 Review 🎧🔥 

Got another review for you here on the new EarFun Air 2 - launching today! Full disclosure: EarFun sent these over to me to review, but I didn’t have time to make a full video review. I said I’d post a written review if I liked them though…so here we are! They’ve given me a discount code to share with you guys too, don’t miss that at the end!

My initial thoughts on these were simply that they were just another good entry from EarFun, but then I saw that they’re priced under $50 which is pretty crazy. They’re also a massive upgrade from the original Air earbuds. The value for money with these is absolutely insane and you should definitely take note of them! 

Spec list:
🟡 10 mm wool composite dynamic drivers
🟡 High-Res Audio certified with LDAC
🟡 Warm, relaxing sound with powerful bass
🟡 Lightweight, comfortable design
🟡 Bluetooth 5.3, SBC/AAC/LDAC, multipoint
🟡 9 h / 40 h battery, USB-C + wireless charging
🟡 4 mics with ENC - excellent call quality
🟡 IPX7 water resistance! 
🟡 Touch controls (customisable)
🟡 EarFun app support ✔︎
🟡 $49.99 / £49.99


In the box:
- Earbuds + charging case
- XS, S, M, L eartips
- Short USB-A to C charging cable
- Wooden pick (for cleaning)
- User guide and warranty info

Design
Simple, clean plastic build…not much to say really. It’s very similar to the EarFun Air Pro 3 both in terms of size and design. The charging case is very pocket-friendly, has a dedicated pairing button and supports wireless charging alongside USB-C. The earbuds themselves have an IPX7 protection rating - that means you can fully submerge them underwater. Very impressive, especially for the price. Good start. 

Comfort
Great. Small, light and relatively seamless in the ear - can’t see anyone having any complaints at all. The fit feels secure, it’s something I could comfortably run with, and the ergonomics are well-designed. IPX7 rating means these would be a great gym/workouts option I think.

Controls
Touch controls on each side. Easy to locate on the stem, but only average in terms of responsiveness. Occasionally a double tap will be mistaken for a single, but not bad overall. Work fairly well once you get used to tapping perhaps a bit firmer than usual. You get a good range of gestures (single, double, triple tap and long press) and you get almost complete customisation over those in the app. It means you can have all the useful music controls at one time (including volume control). Sadly there’s no wearing detection, but a reasonable omission at this price. 

App
You can track battery levels for each earbud and the case, and you can set a custom EQ or choose from one of the preset EQs. The custom EQ is 10-band, easy to adjust and lets you save multiple custom EQs. You can also toggle multipoint, which earbud the mic operates from (not sure why you’d need this), voice prompts and there’s a ‘find my earbuds’ feature (plays a loud sound, not location tracking). There’s also a low latency Game Mode toggle (which you can assign to a touch control if you like). It works very well and gives a noticeable reduction in latency - even when using LDAC, which surprised me. It makes faster paced games playable, though not perfect. Notably there are no ANC controls here - these earbuds don’t support noise cancellation or transparency. Again, I think that’s reasonable given the price. 

Mic quality
Surprisingly good - probably the best for the price. I’ve currently got these ranked in 9th overall…which from a list of over 100...is pretty great. Jabra’s Elite 7 Pro are below these, for example. They minimise background noise really well but keep your voice sounding clear, so they’re good even in noisy environments. Mic quality is one of the things we’re seeing improve rapidly with these more advanced chipsets, even in cheap earbuds like this. 

Battery
9 hours on a single charge and an extra 31 h in the case. With LDAC on, you get around 5.5 hours playback and 23 h with the case. Really good and no complaints there. You’ll get 2 hours of listening from a 10 minute fast charge. Takes about 1.5 h to fully charge the earbuds, 2 h for the case. As I said, the case supports wireless charging too which is very convenient.

Connectivity
Bluetooth 5.3, SBC, AAC and LDAC support…that’s on par with flagships. You get multipoint support too (not instant switching though) and the dedicated Game Mode I mentioned. You can use either L or R sides independently too. So pretty impressive connectivity specs. 

Sound
For the price…genuinely fantastic. These have EarFun’s signature warm sound with deep, powerful bass. The treble is slightly rolled off so you don’t get any harsh or piercing sibilance - it’s a relaxing overall tone. It doesn’t feel like the clarity or detail is lacking though, vocals come through prominently and there’s certainly no obvious decline in sound quality vs EarFun’s higher end models. The EQ options give you a good range of flexibility to tweak the sound as well - I find a slight boost to the mids and upper mids, along with a treble boost can help balance the sound and enhance the vocals and clarity further. 
If you consider the price, the sound quality is actually pretty stunning. There are big industry names with earbuds offering poorer sound quality than these (Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Jabra Elite 8 Active to name some big ones). These will get overlooked as a pick for sound quality ‘winner’ by most, and that’s fair enough. They of course don’t come close to the audiophile-quality earbuds we have now. But you’d be hard pressed to find many models at this price point that sound better than these. 


Overall…really impressed with these and there’s very little to complain about. Minor points of criticism for me would be the sensitivity of the touch controls and the lack of wearing detection. It is still completely fair to not have those things at this price, and I feel the same about ANC and transparency too. You only need to spend $20 more to get one of EarFun’s ANC models if that’s a dealbreaker for you. The Air 2 has made me want to make a ‘best earbuds under $50’ video though, because they have an excellent chance of finishing at #1. So let me know if you'd want to see a video on budget earbuds like this, because they're getting really good!

Definitely worth checking out! Try this discount code they gave me too: EA225OFF

Happy New Year all! Who's ready for the annual Headphones Awards 2024?! 🎧🔥 After months of testing...the results are in! Stay tuned for the huge breakdown of all the best wireless headphones on the market right now. 

Which headphones do you expect to see this year...? 👀 

Hello all! It's been a while. Just a little update to say i've still got 2 big videos coming before the end of the year. Tomorrow is the best 'semi-open' earbuds on the market 🎧🔥 Lots of people asked about that and we've given plenty of love to the silicon eartip earbuds, so it's about time we feature some semi in-ears as well. The video is coming a little later than i'd hoped but...life happens! Months of testing and prep went into this so hopefully it'll turn out good.

Gonna follow that up with a best 'open' earbuds with ear hooks. May sound a bit niche but this earbud style is growing in popularity and there are some great options now. You saw the soundcore and shokz earbuds on the channel recently, but i'm gonna break down all the best options out there!

Hopefully see you all tomorrow 👀 

Just posted a comparison of Soundcore's new Space One headphones against their flagship Space Q45...this was an interesting one! 👀🎧🔥

New Soundcore Space One 🎧 ($99.99) vs Soundcore Space Q45 🎧 ($149.99)

So i've just released my 'Best Headphones under $100' video on the channel, the new Space One feature and you should check that video out. I mentioned in the video that, in some ways, Space One are better than the flagship Space Q45. If I had to choose between the two, i'd get Space One. Here's why!

Build quality | Winner: Space Q45
It's actually pretty close. But Q45 get the win for being slightly more premium (e.g. metal in the headband). Space One don't exactly feel 'cheap' though - really high quality for the price. Q45 comes with a premium hard shell case too, that really seals the deal. Space One just have a cheap fabric bag which won’t protect them as much.

Comfort | Winner: Space One
Again very close. Both offer a low clamping force and ultra spacious ear cups. The Q45 ear cup padding is thicker, but this does make your ears warmer. There's barely any padding on the headband though (much more on Space One). Q45 also weigh 295 g vs 265 g for Space One. So a win for Space One. Space One also gets much smaller on the headband extension, so better for smaller heads. 

Controls | Winner: Space One
Button layout is near-identical. But this is the main area where Space One pull ahead. Firstly: wearing detection! It's not in the flagship Q45 but Space One does have it! Easy Chat: again a really neat feature Space One has and not the higher-end Q45. Q45 actually got rid of any palm-gestures on the ear cup. Google Fast Pair is only on Space One too - so that's not just instant pairing on Android, but better in-built widget support and Google's find my support too. Both offer the great ‘Safe Volume’ feature. 

ANC | Winner: Space Q45 
This one is close because the Q45 first of all have better passive noise isolation because of the thicker ear cup padding. But they do have slightly stronger ANC too and block a bit more noise. They have a much louder hiss though - that was very apparent. So you might actually prefer the ANC on Space One. Both offer 5-level custom ANC, Adaptive mode and wind noise reduction mode.

Transparency | Winner: Space Q45
Space Q45 definitely has a louder hiss/static noise at maximum transparency, but it does also amplify surroundings a bit more. They both have 5-level custom transparency, but the Q45 also have ‘talk mode’ where your music gets lowered when you switch to transparency (not as good as Space One’s Easy Chat though). Overall win for the Q45.

Mic quality | Winner: Tie
Honestly…couldn’t tell them apart in a blind test. I was initially leaning towards the Space One being better but in repeat tests I had each be the winner, it really varies by scenario. I expect they have the exact same tech inside. Both are fairly decent for calls and minimise background noise well.

Battery | Winner: Space Q45
Space Q45 has 65 h (50 h with ANC) vs Space One’s 55 h (40 h with ANC). Both charge in about the same time and both offer 4 h play after a 5 min fast charge. Same auto power off options. 

Connectivity | Winner: Space One
Both offer Bluetooth 5.3, SBC/AAC/LDAC and multipoint. Space One has Google Fast Pair though, so that also comes under the 'connectivity' category. 

Sound quality | Winner: Space Q45
The treble is the main difference, just sounds a bit more crisp on the Q45. Sound is not as warm in tone. Just slightly higher clarity too, but honestly not as big a difference as you might expect. There’s a small EQ shift when switching the Q45 listening modes though, minor downside. Both offer the same 8-band custom EQ, same preset EQs and same HearID feature (this was added to the Space Q45 with a software update and isn’t shown in the full video review). Sound leakage is slightly lower on Q45 because of the thicker ear cup padding. 

Overall Value | Winner: Space One
It’s pretty clear to me. The Q45 isn’t ahead by far enough to justify the price jump. They're not bad, it's just that Space One are SUCH good value. Plus the Space One have convenient extras like wearing detection, Google Fast Pair and Easy Chat. Save yourself some money and get Space One.

Any questions, let me know!
